So I assume that you use the indicator only to help indentify consolidation zones? If so would you want to open up a bit and give a little insight how you trade them? Do you use support and resistance etc. as your takeprofit levels? Do you let some ...

Before everyone goes their separate ways, could you guys give your thoughts on how to keep up with the constantly changing market? Since any setting wont work forever, in what circumstances do accept that the settings arent viable anymore and change ...

Ok I missed your point, but yes I agree that maybe it should be somewhere else than in recycle bin.

If people still want to post here then why posting here should be banned? It reads in the first post when the thread was moved to recycle bin so it doesn't disturb any new readers who will find this thread. Especially if forexhard still wants to ...

Ok, i was just sceptical about your settings because the indicator behaves a lot differently in live feed compared to the past history, especially when the box is only few bars long. I have hoped for a while that there would be impovements to the ...

Can I ask why you use 3 bars long box on 4h instead of longer box in lower tf? Based on my experience the results will differ guite a lot from the history stats with such a short box?

Hi forexhard, do you, xux and others still keep working and fine tuning the indicator and posting here? I agree that most is already said here, but I've seen the talk about auto-optimization, multiple take profit levels, EA's etc. and those seem as ...

If I doubt that the box will move/repaint, then yes, I will refresh the chart and see where it will stick. But like I said with right settings you can elimanate that pretty well. Unfortunately, me being quite cautious with my trading, I'm yet to ...

Yes I know that but my "wish" was that the box wouldn't move around anymore once it has formed...

The box can indeed move and cover the breakout candle even after the arrow has shown up if the breakout candle is within the limits, it happens less if you use autoreduce and some buffer zone. I personally would like that the boxes wouldn't move at ...

batemap, I'm not sure that this causes your problem but you have both EMA filter and min bar closed filter on, I would suggest to use only one of them at a time.

No you didn't have martingale on in that picture, just when you said you could miss a trade you had to take caught my eye. I personally use settings that show results that I like without martingale but still use it from time to time...

Have you thought of using settings without the martingale? Then it wouldn't be an end of the world if you happen to miss a winning trade while you are sleeping etc.

Profit would have hit on EU, GU and GJ, shame I only took the GU but shouldn't complain about making profit

Yes maybe I should have added that it was the 1st recovery trade, the short one hit the stoploss

Take profit hit

Yep, I think the NFP will trigger it in couple of minutes..

I'm also in short, likewise I'm not so confident that it will go down much today after that big bull move of yesterday but let's see what the market tells us

Yeah, that's the main reason why I like more those settings without the EMA filter or candle close, but since I can be behind the desk most of the time when the breakout occurs it's not an obstacle I can't get over.

Just out of curiosity, I see that many of you are using the EMA filter, what applied price setting you are using? Is anyone using anything else than 0 ie. close?
