Latest indicator development... "Dragons Path". It's purpose is to derive the current trend. An overall bias, if you will. Obviously not good with entries as it considers trend change based on breakouts of a previous range.

Next I am going to develop "Dragons Eye". It's purpose will be to gauge the current order flow down to the current candle. This one will be extremely choppy, but used to find those perfect entries. Should be interesting.

Dragons Orb will be the final EA I build to glue it all together.

Can you tell I'm bored and am really enjoying the mythological theming of this?

How have you bastards been doing

The only time I have to trade is before bed and during my lunch hour with work and studying. Actually I study through my entire lunch hour at my desk anyway. Looks like its going to be this way for a very long time as there are so many licenses I have to get

I've been trying to switch to H4/H1 for my trend and entry TFs but I may have to switch that even higher.

But continuing with my current TFs we've put in a new H4 low but it wasn't very impressive. H1 supply is about 50 pips above current price with local H4 supply about 95 pips above and local demand about 190 pips below.

Hopefully down until wed/thur

On Wednesday, the European Working Group, a group of senior
Eurozone finance officials just below minister level, will convene to
review whether all national procedures are in place for the signing of
the second rescue for Greece. After the IMF board of directors’ meeting
on Thursday, all elements should be in place for the official launch of
the E130 billion lending agreement.

As it goes, nothing is ever perfect in this world. But, try not to think of it in terms of a fake break out. Think of it as the range shifting directions, then reversing directions again. This does not happen very often, and will be handled by proper MM.

Generally when this does happen, order flow follows suite right along with the range fakey and you do not get a signal until the range has shifted back (reversed again). With a bit of proper setup, Dragons Eye should be able to properly distinguish this *most* of the time. As for the others, well, i'm not building this collection of indicators to be flawless That is a pipe dream, and as awesome as it would be, I know better than that.

Not sure if that made any sense. But the 1m is notoriously bad about fakeys... here is a quick example.

Here we have the range shift to bear (first red line). The range shifts back to the Bull side without any type of order flow confirmation to sell.

I used to do this kind of work on quote tracker. Disregard the overlays and look at the arrows (once a candle is closed and the arrow is there, that's it).. That's for direction.. Now look at the arrows at the bottom and watch what happens when you have TWO up arrows and a red stripe on top of them. Conversely when you have TWO down arrows and a green line on top of them..That used to be my "bet the farm" signal.BTW, it still doesn't work if you can't execute it..
