I just got a quick ten pip snap there. I think we should consider trading off the middle yellow line too.

I'm still not sure what to trade with..

What settings to rely on?

Cause with one settings it's showing

BUY now and with little different settings those lines are far away or

showing SELL. So, not sure which settings to believe. Is that really "SELL"

Signal? or Maybe BUY? I think I'll stick with v2.01 for now.. At least

there is not a such big spreads with different settings... Just IMHO.
Different settings draw different lines, just as with any indicator, so of course one set of settings may show still show a buy while another set shows a sell.

using the middle line was actually part of my mm with atrema, when the 3ema entered inside the red bands I entered wth 2 lots, closing one when the middle line was reached and letting the other one go as by aicccia's instructions. It also means doubling your losses and in the long run did not proove to be profitable. Plus, if you start a trade at the middle line you get heaps of whipsaws. This system has potential but the most suiting MM has yet to be found. i'm glad this time around there seems to be more interest.
Lot's of pips to all,

aiccia,

I noticed in the code that you only set the atr in the init() function. Is this correct, or did you intend to set the atr in the start() function?

thanks once again for all your help with this terrrific concept

I'm liking this version much more then the previous ones. The losses are being kept much smaller the before. The problem again is that watching the chart 24hrs a day is impossible.

Any update on a possible EA for this new version?

thx,
todd

I'm sure someone will correct me if i'm wrong. But the way I use the bands are:

White line closes above the lower channel red line after having been below the blue line, I go long.

If the white line suddenly turns and closes back below the lower blue line, I go short.

If the white line crosses the lower red line to go long and continues up past the upper channel lines and then closes back below the upper red, I go short. And if the short turns on me and the white line again closes back above the upper blue line, I go long.

Well is that wasn't a mouth full.

Anyway that's my way of using the channels.

thx,
todd

Yes, that is exactly the way I am testing it

Yes, it's supposed to be that way. The atr is set with a period of 1000. That never changes, so I just need to load it once.

aicccia,

I don't know about anyone else, but I'm still seeing the V 2.01 rules on the first page. The V 2.08 download is there but not the updated entry/exit rules.

I know you are very busy, must have slipped through the cracks.

Impressive indicator. But I want to ask, just loaded it on GU 1M with default settings, and seems like its getting absolutely killed ... am I missing something?
