We are here to continue a journey that started elsewhere.
The purpose of this thread is to further explore the ability to rationally and consistently predict major SWING points in Forex trading.
We all know that ZigZag indicators are lagging, repainting and thus not very good for entry points for successful trading.
Some of us (and I sure hope they’ll join us here) started a journey based on analyzing FRACTALS, ZIGZAG legs and all that is within it and their internal relationship. Using massive historical data, statistical tools, and filtering we got to a point that most of the active members are getting meaningful results.
We want to continue this in a much more coherent and controlled way – so this 1st post will always include latest and updated DOCS, Indicators and references to major post issues within that forum and external links.
Later on I’ll post guidelines for my current algo just as a baseline to avoid repeated questions, but feel free to suggest variations on the subject.
Ahhh…and what about the “Pissing Dog” that’s on the title of this forum thread? – well, dogs have the tendency to piss on every tree and POST that is on their way. Not because they have to or want to contribute something - it’s just to let out a few drops of urine, leaving pieces of their DNA - in order to say “hey, look, I’ve been here…”. And what is that have to do with Forex or trading or sharing? To tell you the truth, the ultimate truth - Nothing, really.
Let’s roll our sleeves and start...
