Yes Perry. The ADX line started falling immediately with the End Trend warning!! Really cool to have an indicator/set-up talking to us .. haha .. Thanks again for sharing your set-up and wisdom with us!
Time for a newbie
question please:
Per enclosed chart, not sure what C:4 stood for?! My guess for R: 1 =
Resistance . Please enlighten me. Thanks.
Beth
Beth,
Any chance that when you have time, maybe you could explain to me how to include the voices in the indicators?
Thanks

After putting the ForceIndex onto the forum, it has developed into so many variations and questions, with the introduction of the boomerang, all of which is very similar to the way I trade, I though it best to put a full
scale model up for discussion.
I trade very simply. WhatI have done is put together a platform that KEEPS me out of trouble, as I will explain fully what this means. I prefer to miss out on a trade even though in hind sight it turned out to be good. I would like to have more probabilities on my side.
PERRYs TRADING PLATFORM:
1. MASlopeBoxMuti (
SMA 40) - Purple dashed line
2. SMA (3) - Black line (price type = median)
3. SMA_colours (14) - Red,Blue,Grey
4. ForceIndex_v02 (EMA 13) - First row of coloured bars at bottom of chart
5. JeffADX (5,15) - Second row of coloured bars at bottom of chart
6. DM(5) - Last indicator at bottom of chart
7. jtRAngeMarker - Show me the exact begining and end of the current trading bar
8. PriceLineIndicator
9. MurreyMaths
10. TheAboxForRange(5,25) - This shows me a little box with the actual ADX number above or below my threshold of 25
RULES:
1. ONLY TRADE IN THE DIRECTION OF THE SMA(40). Never try anything else. This will keep you in the money and sane, with no stress.
Long Entries:
1. The SMA(40) must be going UP or
FLAT . Look at the SLOPE - either 0 or +plus (Blue) . Most of the time you can see the direction by just looking at the line.
2. SMA(3) must be ABOVE the SMA(14)=BLUE, and ABOVE the SMA (40).
3. ForceIndex = BLUE
4. ADX = GREEN
Short Entries:
1. The SMA(40) must be going DOWN or FLAT. Look at the SLOPE - either 0 or minus(red) . Most of the time you can see the direction by just looking at the line.
2. SMA(3) must be BELOW the SMA(14)=RED, and BELOW the SMA (40).
3. ForceIndex = RED
4. ADX = GREEN
The above is a very VISUAL way to read a chart. Very simple and very very effective. Always look at the SMA (40) and its direction. Many instances we get a full setup that looks perfect, but the SMA(40) is going in the other direction. DO NOT TAKE THIS TRADE. In most cases you will get stung. Even if the odd trade works out, do not take these trades.
As we proceed I will show you 2 methods of entering the trades even more safely, but for the moment I would like all to just understand the simple visual setup and look at charts. You will suddenly see how simple it is to SEE a good trade. This method will also keep you out of
CHOP which so many get caught up in. You will see that in a choppy situation, one or more of the above will not fall into place. Again watch you SMA(40).
Perry, does the SMA(3) must be BELOW the SMA(14)=RED both have to be below the 40 at the same time or just the 3 SMA below the 10 and the 40?
Thanks,
Eddie

FOr a long trade, the SMA (3) must be above the SMA(14), but the SMA(40) has to be going UP or FLAT . They do not need to be above the SMA(40) if it is going UP. Most cases you will find that they are above the SMA(40), but there are instances that they may be below the SMA(40), as long as it is going UP in the direction of the trade. For a Short trade it is the opposite.

What about in this instance. Force and adx positive. 40 slope up. 3sma above 14 and 40 BUT the 14 is red or down....does this matter?

You have a legitimate entry, but always look to your left to see what your first resistance will be. You have a swing high at 1.3508 which will not give you a lot of room for a move, unless you keep a very very tight stop. Another sign is if the candle crosses both lines at the same time.
I am looking at an indicator that will make this visually look much easier to see. Hop to be able to put it on the board in a day or two. I am testing it now.
Have you taken some SIM trades and how are you SEEING the trades.

For ES, I identified 2 Perry trades per enclosed ellipses. The first short aligned with the Market Profile's "Short only" strategy while the second long would be a counter-trend one.
If I understand Perry's set-up correctly, one will enter upon completion of the signal bar incl indicators. There's no short after the first short (+ a few seemed to be profitable trades) because Force Index (Panel 2) and ADX (Panel 3) must be aligned. Unfortunately today ADX has not been co-operative!!
Thank you.

Hi Perry
I'm demonstrating a novice way to add audio alerts. It has been working for me and not sure if it's the correct way to do so.
First, I will try to find an important point (line) where it asks the indicator to draw text or arrow.
Second, record a wav file and save it in the sounds folder.
Third, add the audio script immediately after the DrawText etc line per enclosed samples.
Fourth, right click on the indicator and choose "Save as" to create a new indicator (so that the original indicator will not be replaced).
Fifth, press F5 to compile the new indicator.
Note:
1. Sample 1 (DMplus_v1): Need to add an extra pair of {} as the script does not have it.
2. Sample 2: Simply add the audio script as it has {} already.
