Hello i would like ot share some interesting ideas about the Taylor Trading Technique i also currently found a
way to describe it in a automatic trading system for amibroker. I found the easylanguage code for the Taylor Trading System invented by Murray A. Ruggiero Jr in the book Traders` Secrets Psychological & Technical Analyses.
Which is a very rich book because it discuss both the systems of individual traders and there psychology.
Thanks to big mike for making a webinar with Adrienne Laris Toghraine, which made me interested in her books.
Ok so i will just post the source code for amibroker.
Maybe somebody can test it, to validate if the results are feasible right now they are just to amazing.
Maybe i have done something wrong with the system logic. I will check that and keep it updated.
Oh forgot to say i will code it in Multicharts.Net also just to test it with a second platform.
Right now it is working on daily data i will also try to code some intraday entry and exit strategies using the posted system as a daily trigger
for intraday decision.
i have now uploaded a very rich commented source code. It even has a
license text included to prevent me from being liable to damages the code could cause.
It also says that i should be informed about experiences and improvements of that piece of
code.
I have another question are you still using the TaylorTradingTechnique sheet from that vendor.
I am in doubt that you are because your last post is from 2009 ?
Would be nice to read what happened to your Taylor Trading.
richbois you have my great respect i think you are doing a great job at your website.
But i am not a subscriber i only tried a demo time once so i know about your service.
I just modified my previous upload so just dowload it again and it should be commented richly.
The only thing that I dont agree with is the fact that your cycles change every time you run the program because if you have a Buy day violation on a Sell day of SS day, the next time you run your program that day will become the new Buy day. That maybe what Angell wanted to do but it is definatly not as per Taylor. His method you determine the Buy day once and it stays for ever.
Having said that if your program is making you money as is, dont fix what is not broken
By the way if you can code it for the NinjaTrader.com platform i will test it for you
indeed i agree with you Taylor seemed to never changed the cycle and in my opinion this is totally ok.
Because you have the buy day low violation rule and the short sale day High violation rule,
which give everybody enough flexibility. But i think he respected Limit days which maybe made him change the cycle.
I guess i will not code it for ninja because i am using the MC.NET platform.
But it is very easy to understand, therefore i wanted to be posted as a starting point for everybody
who like to develop a system based on taylors ideas.
By the way you are the absolute Taylor Trading Expert i think.
Do you know Murray A. Ruggiero Jr. book called Taylor Trading Methodology i tried to find it
on amazon but only found one article published by Murray A. Ruggiero Jr. Inside Advantage Maybe you can contact him at linkedin
if you are interested in his work about Taylor.
Thank you for sharing the AmiBroker code, it is much appreciated. I went through the code in the book by Ruggiero and your code seems to be missing these lines below.
BLev(.40),SLev(.80),Ct(3),BuyFilt(TRUE),SellFilt(TRUE),Hold(-1); //an input parameter that is also not in your code
If value1<BLev and Seq[Ptl]=0 then buy("Bl") at low -NPts points limit;
If value1<BLev and Seq[Pt2]=0 then buy("B2") at low -NPts points limit;
If value1>SLev and Seq[pt3]=0 then sell("S1") at High +NPts points;
Can you please explain why you didn't include this part or is it included and I am missing something?
