Ran strategy tester on EU 15 minute over the weekend so I can see the market as I would in live environment and see how the zig zag works live and using stochastics like I normally would with zig zag channels and trend lines. Made a return of about 60% on that pair for the month of January this year. A total of 23 trades with 3 losers so a win rate of 86.95%...Again, not being arrogant or anything like that but its all just the same thing repeated over and over again but just with different variations and different twists as you apply different tools and such...in which some may require more work while other methods a little less to achieve the same result...but anyway...I will post the results a bit later once I return home.

here is the equity curve along with the entries and other additional info for anyone to look further into at their own desire...well I tried adding the other part of the results but it wouldn't let me...it should go without saying that the bottom axis is the days of the month and the right axis is the account balance...

1.Could you explain a bit more what condition triggers in this test a entry?
2.How does the same test perform just without the zig zag channel (same or did the zigzag channel improve the results)

BTW: I played a bit around with the RIV (Relative Vigor Index) indicator - it might have some useful additions in combination with the stochastic. Did you ever check it out?

1. Trend lines drawn from zig zags must create some kind of consolidation
pattern for price to break out from whether it be a wedge, ascending triangle,bearish channel, bullish channel or whatever and than the mtf stochastics must just show room for price to move in a given break out direction...to write everything I look for in stochastics is way too much for just this one post but anyone who has followed the thread and how I use stochastics should know how they are applied or refer to spudfyre mtf stochastics thread for a better explanation...

2. I didn't use the zig zag channel indicator as I would prefer to draw my own trend lines and such so could not answer this question.

BTW--RVI is just another oscillator in my opinion...

totally forgot I was even short on this pair but just got home and saw it still open...still only up 2%...but stop set to break even and I will just see how it plays...ideally price will run back up to the 4 hour 50 sma and fail there and turn back down but judging by the stochastics the down move may be pretty exhausted...

Do you still use the 50, 100, 200 EMA or only the MTF 50 SMAs?

hi Paul,

I noticed that now most of your trades are on M15 - any reasons?

hi Paul,

I look at about 14 pairs including exotics and such with high spreads which the 15 minute absorbs the higher spreads and reading the chart is just a lot less of a hassle as it gives a good overview of everything going on and what you should expect...

my beautiful messy charts lol with all my crazy trendlines and triangles and pyramids and shapes haha...but a nice breakout from the consolidation triangle...duh...it would break out to the upside because of the daily rope mixed with all the higher time frame moving averages supporting price...along with the daily pivot supporting the price as well...
