OTL can you give me a run down of managing trades in ToS again :D

I really really want a way to quickly manage my stop loss, everything else is what ever.. It seems like if I close my stop loss order, it just like, closes the whole damn order... why can't we just drag and drop it? or at least modify it real fast? I have to be missing something

Edit: Oh wait, I can just modify it by right clicking on it... weird how I can't do that in OnDemand it seems.

Edit2: Wtf I can click and drag it too... why couldn't I do this before

In "Forex Trader" there are hotkeys too. Alt+S and Alt+B will auto send either a buy or sell order based on your parameters. Alt+R will reverse the position (though, careful w/ this as it doesn't automatically set your stop) and Alt+F will flatten the position.

Setup an order template to include a stop (it'll be like -70 for -7 pips) and then when you send an order it'll automatically add it for you. ;D
 
after the pretty obvious DT prior to the news, here's this.

Got um both 8)
and I still feel like I don't know what I'm doing...

I don't think I will until I have that 95% winrate
 
>:D

UC is offering some more, too. doubt it'll be a crazy pull but it is obviously breaking down

Yeah for the ADX, I don't think I'll bother trying to play with it anymore, I think it needs special settings that we don't have to be of any use (if at all) :D

I have the super-secret one for mt4. I just re-coded it for thinkroswim:

Code: 
declare lower;

input n = 14;

#plot h = 35;
#plot l = 15;
#h.setDefaultColor(color.red);
#l.setDefaultColor(color.red);

def gd_88 = high - high[1];
def gd_96 = low[1] - low;

def gda_104;
def gda_108;

# If price differences are equal or 0, set 104/108 to 0
if ((gd_88 < 0 and gd_96 < 0) or gd_88 == gd_96) then {
    gda_104 = 0;
    gda_108 = 0;
}

# Otherwise set 104 to the highs differentiation, 
# and 108 to the lows differentiation
else {
    gda_104 = if gd_88 > gd_96 then gd_88 else 0;
    gda_108 = if gd_88 < gd_96 then gd_96 else 0;
}

# Calculations

def gda_112;

# Low differentation modification

gda_116 = gda_116[1] * (n - 1.0) / n + gda_108 / n;

# Do some crazy calculations.
def gda_120;
gda_120 = Max(
    Max(AbsValue(high - low), AbsValue(high - close[1])), 
    AbsValue(close[1] - low)
);

# No idea what this does.
def gda_124 = gda_124[1] * (n - 1.0) / n + gda_120 / n;

# Conditional work of some sort..?
def gda_128; 
def gda_132;
def gda_136;

if (gda_124 > 0) then {
    # Low and high %?
    gda_128 = 100.0 * (gda_112 / gda_124);
    gda_132 = 100.0 * (gda_116 / gda_124);
    
    # Crazy calculations again...
    gda_136 = if (gda_128 + gda_132) > 0 then 100.0 * (AbsValue(gda_128 - gda_132) / (gda_128 + gda_132)) else double.nan;
}

# Set to null if not applicable.
else {
    gda_128 = double.nan;
    gda_132 = double.nan;
    gda_136 = double.nan;
}

def last = res[1];

# Plot it all
plot dx = res;
dx.setDefaultColor(color.green);

Eh yeah, if this is the same one, meh... I can see it being useful at times going through some history here, but it's basically showing the same signal as the ZMACD... Trend peaks out at first leg of DT, and on the second leg the ADX has crossed really low/flattening, basically signalling stalling in momentum (from what I can understand?)

https://gyazo.com/58a373fd5d5b3f4c300f16e40afcc6c6

but yeah... why? It's like the deal with the Stoch as well, seems redundant at times, useless at others. I guess maybe their use comes in during specific market environments? From what I've understood, stoch is mainly used in ranging environments. ADX I imagine is primarily for "trends." I dunno... Is there any value in waiting for multiple/all of them to conflate? :p

ie. if market is ranging, emas flattening, stoch comes into play.. if market trending, look to use ADX?
 
yeah no idea, maybe it's something you get a feel for eventually. i get that the 'real' use of the ADX here are the slopes.. but wth. i can see it :p
