Zero Balance Indicator

Discussion in 'Strategy Building' started by swingwaver, Feb 17, 2003.

  1. I make Zero Balance Indicator for TS2000i.
    Zero Blance indicator Larry Williams's indicator.
    Please see his book "The definitive guide ot futures trading"

    If you have interest, use it.

    I want to draw line in future.
    Do you know how to draw in future or left side of chart.
    with TS2000i.




    {*******************************************************************
    Description : Zero Balance Indicator.
    forecast_step is predict step value.
    Please see
    "The definitive guide ot futures trading"
    Larry Williams (japanese: p.297)

    Usage: Buy set up is that Zero balance line make
    continous lower low by 3 times.
    When Price crosses over Zero balance.
    Sell set up is that Zero Balance line make
    continous high high by 3 times.
    When Price crosses under Zero Balance.

    Parameter: forecast_step(3)
    3: predict 3 step future's point. (default)
    2: predict 2 step future's point.
    1: predict 1 step future's point.

  2. Your account is about to have a zero balance indicator. :p
