First pic shows what I see when I look at a naked chart.

Second pic is the same chart with only the indi attached.

Anyone notice any patterns or other applicable correlations?

Possibly greed is next. But what we are looking for is a red zone. We do NOTHING until we see a red zone. No CZ, no trade. Period.

When there are no CZ's (red zone), it's usually because we have something like this pattern showing. Which is fine. I have nothing against this type of formation. It's just not a CZ. When I see this type of formation I know not to waste my time with this pair. Again, no biggie. It just means I can focus on the pairs that do fit the criteria I am looking for.

My CZ indi is set for 24 M15 bars. That's 6 full hours. Or, put another way, 1/4 of a trading day. So even if the tail end of this orange formation does become the start of the next CZ, I know that it's still at least 3 hours (12 bars) from becoming one.

Great stuff here, have you thought about developing this into an algorithmic program? I may be able to help you out a bit.....However, I can tell you that you are on the right track to something very profitable

... and there you have pinpointed my problem. I am actively seeking out the trades.

By this analysis, my recent comment about the PA retracing to the CZ is somewhat moot. Just because it has retraced to the CZ does not make it a CZ. My problem is that I am impatient. I constantly have to remind myself of ForexHard's comment to let the trades come to me rather than chasing them (I am paraphrasing).

There will always be another trade opportunity. There will always be another trade opportunity ...

I'm encouraged that you saw the correlation. Your recent posts are why I made these pix.

OK, so I was wrong. It only took 7 more bars for a CZ to form. Sue me.

Anything here worth commenting on, men?

These CZ's are happening now.

It will be interesting to see how they look in the morning. Place your bets asap. There's no money riding on the outcome, so be brave and make your wager/opinon public. Right or wrong, the poster with the most interesting comments/observations (to me) wins a 15-min Skype convo with Yours Truly for later this week. So jump in, the water's fine!

hi guys.

your system looks fantastic, I was just wondring what stoploss do you recommend? and also how do you go about filtering out the fake breakouts as I demo'ed the euresd this morning. A buy trade was triggerd at 145310 and it was fake, so i lost. then later we had a sell 144854, which was a winner however I lost due to my narrow stoploss.

regards

It's more detailed in the thread but most adjust lot size to risk and place stop on other side of the box. (IF sell then stop on top of box, IF buy then stop on bottom of box).

SGD/JPY EJ. Another smooth session down.

Just sharing..I always check the PA position on H4 & Daily to see whether it's : Near Major S/R , Uptrend/Down Trend/Range..then i'll prefer to place order when breakout in line with the trend (above green color/buy , below red color/sell)..Good Luck !!
