Edit: I can't believe I missed that ! Yuna, your vacation have been withdrawn : We need some nice eyes who can see it all lol !

Aediaz1! nice to see ya again too haha, how i wish i was really on vacation . i think u missed that because u kept thinking of me, WAHAHA

have a question here..

I don't see your whole upper line, but remember to have strong lines they need to be tested at least 2 times.

But yes, I favor downside on this, look at the volumes too (increasing, giving breakout more credibility). This could go down fast.

i thought volume is not really true volume when used in fx? or am i wrong? because from my limited understanding, volume is not reliable in fx. enlight plz

my current GBPJPY support and resistance levels... based on levels sensor indicator. Support and resistance levels are where the histogram has less bars closing at that price.. so where there is a hole in the histogram. as where I manually indicate with the magenta lines.

Might be that my subconscious mind had another issue making me unfocused hmm

Volume can provide us with patterns from time to time. When patterns occur, it gives strong credibility to the potential breakout. In example, when we have a pennant and we see volume have decreasing volume from start of the pennant. When price start to form for a breakout, you should spot after increase on the volume.

I hope you got the picture from my statement. Notice that you should not use volume-indicator as trade-signal, only as a tool giving another potential edge to your breakout.

Wow some fancy stuff you got there.

Have you tried comparing manually drawn lines contra your indicator ?

Just a wild assumption, but I bet some lines would match up ?

Don't we all love a new indicator

yes they are always correct... look at this trade... I knew it was going down... and a trendline and the level hole was a perfect entry...
the manual trendline was between two trendlines.. usually trendlines are wide.... because I had two valid trendlines.. in this case.. price was rejected from the first one... it broke it a little to reahc the "Hole".. and then went down before reaching the second trendline... was nice.

by the way.... this magenta line I have at the bottom.. was the target of the Header and shoulder pattern. from months ago... cool !

I see. 2 questions then;

  1. How would it react to pre-historical events? And when entering record levels I assume it would show zero ?
  2. I saw where you entered short because of the confluence between your indicator and TL. But I also noticed that your indicator shows resistance, we had a strong line tested 3 times. So the question is really simple; does it give another edge to S/R lines ? Does it show something we will not draw?

Thank you for sharing your indicator.

yes I'm the same emda

about your questions.. yes.. at record levels.. histogram has zero values.. it only counts the closes of the bars in each level for a given number of bars or period... in that example.. yes it was easy to spot the resistance level... because is clear to see it manually... that is why the hole in the histogram as so clear... but some other times... the indicator shows you other levels that are not so easy to see manually... you can try it yourself... you will love it.

Too bad he "left" us. I'm not good with indicators but he's MTF stochs contribution and explanation was truly gold.

Anyway, as stated, I love trying out new indicators like most traders do I assume lol.

I will test it, but allow me to be septic and rather look for disabilities rather than abilities at start. Who's the developer of this ?

Trading breakouts on larger tf's @ this hour can be risky. I have a 15m chart for eurjpy;

i understand your point tt an increase in vol upon breakout adds credibility to the breakout and using it as a reference or tool. but is there reliability of vol in fx market? i mean the vol indicator is not the true vol.
