Hi,
I wrote about this argument in the FF after being inspired by EURUSDD charts. I would like to share again this concept here, in order to find new ideas about a possible development.
As you can see time frames are in 3:1 ratio and so are settings for the same trading system applied to both charts (they must be no repainter).
In the lower chart there are 2 more signals that the upper one, remembering EURUSDD’s words “a situation that has to be corrected”. It means that you can reverse the two different signals because they are not confirmed and *maybe* use them. If the correlation between signals is around 85/90% you should use a 10% of contrarian trades, but only with a good money management.
The first issue is that sometimes in the lower Time Frame signals are appearing before the higher Time Frame, and when the higher time frame signal is published as a confirmation, you have to manage a position that potentially is not winning.
Has somebody tried to check this?
Thank you
Hi Pigh,
Interesting.. what’s the logic behind the arrows and +/-1?

Hi,
it is simply a channel of moving averages shifted of “x” percent, very similar to a bollinger band.
you can use a RSI or a Moving average (without shift) if you prefer, but the moving average has a bigger impact with the phenomenon of “delay” in the bigger time frame impacting the lower time frame
You named this thread Autocorrelation.
At first I tried to get an idea of the topic by reading wikipedia (see: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Autocorrelation ) I’m having trouble to see the connection between the thread title and the content of your 1st post.
Can you provide some hints about that? I’m a bit baffled at the moment.

“a situation that has to be corrected”
I see what you mean
Correlation and Cointegration have interesting idea.

The definition for autocorrelation sounds like a “cross” correlation between a signal (or the value of a variable) with itself, in this case we have a signal in a minor time frame with the same signal on a major time frame

Correlation and Cointegration have interesting idea. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Correlation_and_dependence http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cointegration The sell signal appearing in the bottom chart (and not in the top chart) is “too early” and for this reason (probably) is wrong. This is the main idea
I stumbled upon John Ehlers’ latest book recently, titled Cycle Analytics For Traders. Absolutely worth reading, it contains a complete chapter about autocorrelation. I’ll start coding an experimental indicator based on that chapter when I have some spare time.
Typically for Ehlers the reader should be prepared to be confronted with a nice portion of mathematics, most of it IMO understandable at an advanced highschool level. Part of it will require some knowledge of math and physics at an undergraduate engineering level if you really want to dive in deeply, but you can skip those parts and still gain valuable insights.

Simplex very good idea :) I am a perfect ignorant and my point of view is only empirical, but I see something very interesting behind the autocorrelation. Having here skilled people will be a plus!
For those who would prefer to get an idea about Ehlers’ view on the topic before maybe reading his book: here’s a link to a Powerpoint file on one of his websites where he explains the concept briefly.

It also shows the concept of the very interesting Roofing Filter.
Cheers, simplex
