HI Karthik

This thread is definitely among th top five all time great thread. My Favourite read whenever I visit this forum. You are right that study of TA seems to be waning but then this is a cyclical process. New members , as they slowly acquire maturity,gravitate towards such evergreen threads and discover a pleasant surprise for themselves.

please keep it up

As regards response is concerned , please continue doing the great service you are doing to the forum . Infact when iam writing i always used to research and put in a great deal of effort which in many ways have helped me in being a better trader and i think more than the reader it is the writer who benefits ( pl dont misunderstand me i am writing this message from my perspective and i know perspectives differ) .
Hope this message evokes a positive reponse from you and eventually help me and many others in traderji embark on a process of endless learning..

Anyway there was no particular discussion or background for this chart. I just posted it to show BAV one of the Indicators I am working on. It is still under study. Since it is catching the turns well it is prone to whipsaws as well. I am working on reduction of the whipsaws and if I succeed it will be put on this thread for the members..

warm regards

Karthik

Whipsaws are essential evils else every one here can load some SMA over charts and ride trend to make money , every good trader love to loose some on whipsaw to cheat poor consistently loosing trader who make little during such periods

Hi ,

Just think of yourself guys ( just a question to all good traders ) do you all think you need MACD to trader far better than you did in your trading career and whats final conclusion here adding some std dev + bb + MACD is far better system than no one here on earth found before?? i am just amazed,
simple thing is sucessful trading community is not ruled so far by any great mathematicians and stasticians who are not better trader nor developed some consistently performing systems.

Sucessful trading is not just mixing something unusual and curvefitting which was done so far on this thread as per my view, a good and consistent system need far better but more simpler elements which the current case lacks, any way in trading and designing system wat u sow is wat u reap which comes along karma of trader and those who are following it

If all treat it as attack on this thread or its contribution i cant do any thing for such poor mind set and ignorance

Hi Amarnath

Nice to see around in this thread again. Attack or no attack not really bothered about it. Everyone is entitled his opinion..

By the way even earlier I had clarified the attempt in this thread is not to search or define a Holy Grail system. The attempt was to share some of the TA experience and experiments with others. A newbie has to start somewhere. The idea was to give a rope.
Today you may be a good trader but think about yourself when you started trading. Were you a born trader? No , you must have learnt it the hard way I am sure. Your earlier posts in some other forum requesting codes for simple indicators are ample testimony to this.
(Remember the Kairi Indicator)

If one is good one can make good money using the simple MACD Indicator. I am sure that this thread though not meeting your expectation has gone a long way in providing the ropes to lot of newbie traders in approaching and learning technical analysis. An offshoot of this thread was a collaborative effort from people from different places in a system implementation exercise which could be a “First” among forums.

It would be really good to see you really sharing with us what you know in a more elaborate manners to clear the clouds of ignorance from our poor minds..

Waiting….

Warm regards

karthik

Thanks for the encouraging words. I fully agree with you that writer benfits more the reader. When I was running a thread called "Doubt releif" i used to research on so many companies in order to answer the queries and it helped me lot. Even the post on MACd helped me a lot.

Ofcourse there are many more value additions like the time when a research student from europe mailed me to show his appreciation on the MACD article and clear some doubts.

About writing for magazines I am afraid my job is keeping me too preoccupied to do it. Thanks for the offer.

By the way please post reference to your writings. it would be a pleasure read them.

warm regards

Its not an issue or thing about my expectation at all, as i am aware this thread is not about in search of holy grail but my point is it still leads no were something special and i dont know weather i am born trader or not but a good trader myself at moment

i learnt it yes but not in a hardway as many think and i didnt requested codes of any indicator but just request it get coded in language which i required by providing general formulea of some x , y , z stuff , say i can code on x language but not on y and my whole thought is, did this whole trading community is so dumb who need a master to explain simple MACD which works??? that too with loads of discussion which cross 1000 posting

justify your ignorance's again than your so called knowleadge , sorry if its hurting any one here again
