Kauri Trading

Kauri · 7 December 2007

Some people have contacted me, outside of the forum, asking how and what I use to trade. A brief explanation then..
My main charting programme is Dynamic Trader, I feed it with..
stocks, indicies etc... Bodhi Freeway 3
FX, gold etc.......MetaTrader 4, .( http://www.metaquotes.net/ )a charting programme (free ) in itself, I have installed a programme in the indicators which constantly writes the data to my hard-drive, which I can then read every 10 secs.with Dynamic Trader EOD, which makes the EOD version pretty much RT .

On the FX/Gold etc I use two indicators, the upper one to determine the trend, the lower one to time the entries... ( the indicators are DT osc.. a form of stoch RSI I think).. I find that different instruments fit in with different settings, not all instuments always follow the indicators, and over time the settings may change depending on ranging/trending etc. I don't take all trades that are indicated, a fair amount of discretion re where I see my interpretation of E/W comes into it, as well as sometimes basic divergence, also wether I am awake at the time. Exits/entries are not SAR, my exits are more discretionary.

Stocks and indicies are a totally different kettle of fish, I try to use volume/range etc in place of indicators.

A couple of charts showing the raw signals, Gold and AUDUSD, both of which I have been posting some of my trades in the Forum.

I second Metatrader4,

That's all I use with Alpari feed. Great program.

Kauri · 14 February 2008

I have a file that when placed in MT4 config folder gives access to masses of feeds... just don't know how to get it up here??? when north/alpari whatever go down you can quickly get back up and running...

barrett · 14 February 2008

That sounds really handy Kauri.. here's an idea.. if you make a copy of the file and rename the extension .xls or .doc, it should be uploadable, hopefully.. those downloading should then be able to then change the extension back to what it was (.zip?) and copy into MT..

Kauri · 14 February 2008

I have just graduated from a slide rule to a calculator... so if this isn't right.. have tried adding .txt to the zip file and attaching... if it appears then I guess someone out there knows how to get it back to straight zip for unpacking... hey I don't even know how I got it to .txt???
Am also sending it on to some one else via email so if it doesn't come out maybe they will get it up here..

Ok, I am still on slide rule, I've saved it to hard drive but winRar will not open it, says damaged file or does not recognise file type? Anybody a,b,c step by step instructions greatly appreciated. It opens in notebook for some reason. Gobbledygook.

It worked! Files opened up just fine (just change ".txt" filename suffix to ".zip" and it should open straight up).

Copied the files into MT4 Config folder, but when selecting a server (in MT4, select Tools menu -> Options), it's asking for a different username and password for each one.. Kauri do you know if there's a way around this, or did you sign up for each data server and get a username for each?

If you change the file to Data.mq4 from Data.txt and put it in your indicator folder .. shut down and restart MT.. then put the indicator on a chart it will download the data from that chart into your Meta Trader4-experts-files folder as .prn files... with some charting programmes that have an ascii converter (maybe an MS converter but I've never tried)..you can then use the MT4 data in another charting programme ..

This is a .zip.. or .rar file, can't remember which .. but if you change the .txt to either .zip or .rar you should be able to unpack it.. it has 5 ex4 files and 1 tpl file in it for MT4... The 5 ex4 files should go in program files... MT4... experts.... indicators.. and the tpl file in program files... MT4... templates.. then shut down and restart MT4 and you should be able to apply the template and get the 2 MTF Heinekin Ashey indicator panels as in the screenshot, as well as the candles on the main chart for the current timeframe ( if you don't want the main screen candles just take the Heineken Ashey Smoothed indi out of the indy folder....
It is basically a type of trend indicator .. red for down and blue the tother way... when you get a red box with a little bar in it it means something like a change of momentum in that timeframe... if you are looking at the hourly line in the 5min chart then you can get up to 10 boxes like that.. as it is dividing the hour into 5min boxes...(mmm.. must be a Y day.. ) ..
This is the heart of the auto trading EA I am building... labouriously.

Another handy little indicator for MT4... as shown in the screenshot....
this one is a zip file so change it from txt to zip and put it in the indicator folder (unpack first of course), shut down and restart MT4.. and it should monitor any trades you have on on the MT4 platform...

Cheers

professor_frink · 24 April 2008

thanks for posting those kauri, will have a look over the weekend

Kauri · 24 April 2008

a couple of alerts for when MT4 places/modifies or whatever to a trade...
a zip file so change the txt extension to zip, unpack, and put them both in indicator folder, shut down and restart MT4.. and apply them to only one open chart, they will monitor all charts from there.
the email one obviously sends an email.. and the second one pops up an alert screen and plays a sound .. 6 times at 10 sec intervals.... (if you want a different sound put your wav file in the MT4 sounds folder and call it alert... you will have to get rid of or rename the existing file called alert already in there...
for the email alert you need to.. after adding the indicator to a chart... go to MT4's tools.... options.... email... your server should already be set up... tick enable... put in your email address and password, and the from/to lines... press test and it should tell you all is OK... and will send a test email.. you can only send to one address....

Cheers

PS no... that is not my email address in the screenshot... it is actually Reeces...
