I appreciate your following my progress and such but yes everything is going well just been a bit busy to post as I've been working on a few different trading related ideas and such...I will begin posting again but trading is going great as I made about 63% last week or so... I've began trading the exotic pairs in addition to the majors as I'm seeing too much correlation between the majors these days so just spicing things up a bit but of course since those spreads are a bit larger I will only be trading the exotics on the 15 minute time frames but there is a lot of money to be made in this vast market...I'm also in the process of piecing together a dashboard to help follow all the pairs without having to constantly worry of switching from chart to chart as it will give a total and complete overview of everything that is going on and such...how is everything going with your coding...

Hi Paul,

I would appreciate some input from your great experience with using ZZ as SL.

* Do you have any guidelines how many bars the last ZZ should be away from your entries.
- e.g. would you skip a trade if the last ZZ is 15 bars away? Any 'rule of thumb'?

* similar do you have any guidelines about max SL pips?
- e.g. skip a trade because the Last ZZ is 40 pips away?
- e.g. What about if the last ZZ is only 4 pips away?


Thanks so much.

Cheers

Wow see this is why I tell people that trading can be simple. Looking at this makes it obviously clear and it looks good as it spells out clearly the price patterns with no confusion and than you can use mtg stochastics to gauge where you are at with price to set pending orders to catch the breakout...nice ATI very nice thanks...I will be expanding on this a bit and looking into it further. I will run through my simulator later this evening and see if its as easy to spot during live candles...

my apologies as I just realized that you asked this question but stochastics filter out when semaphor is too far away so I don't pay much mind to that...ex. the 5 minute stochastic would not move down for 15 bars and when it turns up it will create another semaphor before turning down again to give an entry...so I wouldn't be so concerned with that...I have no max pip or min pip requirement but add spread to stop losses for shorts and so if last semaphor is 1 pip away I will still set stop loss there...

In case you use it a lot maybe it would be a good idea to add some input parameters so that the info text can be adjusted (where to plot it)

just a thought.

Haven't looked at the indicator yet....just the idea behind zig zags and trend lines like it does so I'm not sure what you mean yet...

You don't need indicators to get to the top
