On March 23rd, price and OBV in BNF were speaking different languages I think, am I correct?

Today in NF one min also same I think.

Please correct my understanding if wrong. This is only an observation and I have high regard for Varun Ji and I like OBV cos it looks like it can make things easy.
Can you please post the charts with markings. I could spot some divergence in NF post 2.30 PM.

As an intraday system, we should test atleast 12 months (preferably months that include low volatility, ranging, high volatility, trending(volatile/non volatile).

Whenever i backtest an intraday system, i include 2-3 months from second quarter of 2012, aug/sep 2013, some months from 2014/2015, 2 months from 1st half 2016 and 2 months from 2nd half 2016. This would encompass almost all the conditions nicely.

As VJAY said, it must be completely mechanical. No discretion or ambiguity in what pullback is ..it should be clearcut as 'PB to 36ema or no trade(just to give an example). As i mentioned in some other post, discretion is reserved for experts and not for amateur traders like me :(
I am ready to back test the setup manually. All I need is some one defines the following :

Time Frame :
Exit Criteria :
SL:
TSL:
Tgt :

I had done a manual backtest for almost 1.5 years on another Trading System in another thread which actually opened everyone's eyes. The system had a fantastic result in 1 quarter but when i did the back test on 1 year data it was completely different. I am not trying to say that the system is not good but it is always good to have a larger picture which would give confidence to trade.

So if anyone is interested i am ready to invest my time and effort to manually backtest and share the results.

Cheers,

Bhai the thread u mentioned has hardly 3 posts, whereas the "real" obv thread has >3,000 posts. :p

Real trading and explanation was done in varun ji's thread. :clap:

Out of those 3k posts, I think only Tuna, xray, wisp, vjay, ST, Happy, understood the system..:lol: :rofl:
EDIT: Monkey business also understood.
Rest all might be Jumping into other systems.. :D

TraderRavi bhai said correctly - "Jab koi naya system lata hai, Kuch din ke liye bhid jama hota hai, phir gayab ho jati hai, phir koi aur naya method layega, fir bhid jama ho jayegi and the cycle continues " . :lol::lol:

I dont know .... but my understanding is as follows:

exit criteria is points only I think, I think if I recall correctly, varunji said keep booking profits at 40, 50, etc.
ISL is bar low I think
TSL not sure if there is a TSL
Tgt - none, take what system gives

Hi Vijay,

Thanks for the reply and pointing me to that post. :thumb::thumb:

Actually, i was looking to create a sound alarm when green turns to orange in band1 and blue turns to red in band 2 at the same time(from the code you posted). Currently, there is alarm when code turns from red to blue or blue to red only. Market moves very fast in 1 min especially and this sound alarm will be very handy.

Would really appreciate if you could help me out in this regard.

Thanks so much :)
