wanted to ride the move a bit, since it was a big move.
The limit was something 20 or more but I wanted to watch the bb bands and candles to see if we got reversal on the 5 min, good time to exit.
Not a price channel, it's bb bands period 10, dev 2 (for time frames lower than 1 day).
Bollinger suggests those settings in his book.
ahh...I see. If you like channel based stuff i have another indi I was working on...I just now combined it with jivacross and set the MAs to 5 and 21....looks promising. Btw the dots dont repaint except on the current bar.
blue dot then green arrow=buy
red dot then red arrow=sell

Interesting.
The dots are what in relation to a channel?
Would you post it?

use it as a zerolag/zerolag cross? Ive experimented with these and found them to be too whippy.....might as well use price/ma cross imho.

The simplicity of this is refreshing.


Cross up 10/40 wait for next candle to close up marked with an up fractal.

Cross down 10/40 wait for next candle to close down marked with a down fractal.

tp 12
stop 10
Excuse me once more, it is again me with that fractal thing I think to me it is a question of definition:

So an up fractal is given if there is the arrowhead up ? Or down ?

fractal appearing below a candle means up fractal
similarly
fractal appearing above candle means down fractal.

tops and bottoms of swing highs and swing lows.

It's confusing..

Hi there, once more me, I hope I don't get on your nerves but in order to take into consideration what you explained me before about the fractals I would like to ask a question concerning your first chart example:

So, after your blue arrow appeard you had 2 up fractals in the following which you did not use as an entry, right ? Only after the 3 up fractal you chose your entry, ok ? So .. why ?

thx again

The idea was to enter only when a fractal appeared in the direction of the arrow and the candle also was in the same direction.
So for up arrow, up fractal (appears under the candle) and candle would also be up candle.
