{quote} Hi Robot Trader, Your indicator will have enhanced capability to predict the future if you add TIME element. I am a trader with patience. I have been using this attached indicator for more than 10 years now quite profitably. The historic zlines drawn by your indicator are better than the 10-year-old indicator. So if you can embed print the time factor on your Zlines, it will be great. Addition of time stamp "Minutes/hours/week/months Ago" on the historic Zig Zag will help forecast in terms of time as well. Time Stamp (xx minutes ago) will...
@simnz -- thanks for the suggestion and indicators -- I'll check them out. But, to be honest, I don't want to fall into the trap of adding everyone's favorite indicator to MM Detective -- you can imagine how that would go.

I appreciate the screen shot, there are too many lines for me to figure out how it would be used. It would be more interesting and helpful if you could tailer the screen shot to better make your point. Also, most importantly, how it ties-in with MM psychology. I'm not interested in adding indicators for the sake of adding indicators -- you can already do that by attaching them to a chart. However, if an indicator helps provide additional clues or insight as to what the MM is up to then, yes, that would be a valuable addition. Thanks...

You are a technical person. I am not. If not feasible, just ignore my suggestion.

TIME is an important element missing from your indicator.

When the price level comes closer to past Zlines, you can see the probability of touching the line in TIME terms. If Average Daily range is not met and the past TIMELINE (judging by the duration in ago printed) is reachable the probability of the target being met can be assessed.

@simnz -- just to be clear -- you're not interested in drawing more lines using the Bkybbb_ZLines indicator but, rather, simply adding labels -- is that correct?
And if that is the case, couldn't you simply glance down at the timestamps along the chart's X-axis?

There is this tug-of-war of how many graphical elements to add to a chart -- some people feel the more is merrier, while others cringe at that thought. The chart created by this indicator already has a lot of stuff going on -- so I'm not so inclined to add more unless it could be shown that it enhances the clues left behind by the MM.

Btw, Bro @robots4me, maybe you could check bellow indicator coding created by master mLaden.
especially the way dealing with MTF for comparison, since this maybe could give us more 'lighter' MTF that not eat big MT4 resources.

@Nih98 -- thanks, I'll check it out. I'm familiar with mLaden's work and he's great. But why are you concerned about 'lighter' indicators? Why not just buy a bigger machine? Here's a recommendation:

I'm interested to know whether the real target is around 146.313 with the breakout of 145.688 not enough to clean out... a sucker move to entice sellers into the arena having already taken out 144.969........but then, until they show their hand, who knows....

hi robots4me, thank you for starting this thread and making great & useful indicator. in my opinion it's better to have independent MTF and HLF subject from eachother. currently if all timeframes already active and you set all fractal levels to false (or viceversa disable all tf settings and enable fractal levels), no line displays on chart. and finally if we can set different color for tops and bottoms arrows & lines separately for HLF mode.

thanks

It doesn't seem to have a very good spec are you sure it is up to the job, but I must say at least the price is affordable, just a couple of decant trades will pay for it

@Robot Trader -- exactly my thoughts. Furthermore, because of the affordable price I was thinking he could buy several machines -- you know, and devote one to each symbol that he trades.

{quote} Just requesting the Op to add time tag to HIS coded zlines. Why u hv problem with my request to OP?
Ho hum. I have no problem, don't get your hackles up.

You have answered my question in the way you could perhaps have asked your original one:

''Would it be possible to add a time tag to your lines?''

I actually agree - I think that would be a good idea.

My point was that you used Blubbb's actual Z-Line indicator (and shared it) to illustrate your point. Z-Lines are Z-Lines, they are not what the OP is using here. This could cause confusion to those who don't know this.

Having said that, do what you like, it's not my thread and I'm not going to get into some kind of slanging match.

Have a good one.

Now I like this post Andy although you are part of George’s inner circle you have indicated there still is some uncertainty - something we of course never get from The Master himself or Kevin. Could you elaborate on what you mean by the MM showing their hand? Is this during reversal as it’s occuring or afterwards (when it’s clear) - or are we talking about TMA confirmation etc?

look forward to learning more from you.

@moodybot -- thanks for the MM psychology. Hope you don't mind I've uploaded a screen shot with indicators -- I still rely on them to give me context. Also, like a child, I enjoy looking at colors.

A question -- why do you say that was "sneaky"? The price was moving upwards and the M30 target from a couple of weeks ago was in close proximity.

The move was against Daily momentum, H4 at the time siting exactly on 200sma, with a break above of only around 8 pips. That is not enough of a break, they usually take 2 or 3 bites at it. However to go against momentum requires a good shove. Tonight we have red news, that will be their cover story.
With the gap on the 15 min and also 1 min really close together, it was a real target, all be it 2 weeks old.
Price had initially moved down, but with a 135 pip range and news due the move up was a reasonable assumption based on the above reasoning.

Now what will they do... is the current move over, will they head for the upper level first, or go for the liquidity gap on the H4...wait for them to show their hand. The up move for me wasn't valid to take a short, price did not enter into my TMA. Until it does, I won't trade.

Why do I say it was sneaky? The gaps are not all that obvious unless the chart has been studied.

Topcover..It there wasn't news I would go with the flow and trade short from the second breakout at the gap, but only with the TMA in agreement...which it isn't.

Cheers.

Andy

Hi Bro @Robots4me, it's not about myself. I think maybe better if you share tool/indicator in public then we also consider users/traders with minimum computer power like old laptop or notebook.

I myself has enough power PC with dual GPU to support 8 monitors.
