help with Localized Stairstepping Heatmap indi

No, that was a pic of v.10. But after sitting overnight the Fractals are back.

But there's still something going on with the correlation between heatmap and the market profile. The white box is definitely the busiest area during the last 4000 bars. The CZ Heatmap points this out, but the Market Profile does not. (Although I am concerned that the warmest color on the CZ Heatmap is yellow; it seems like 9 CZ overlaps should have made it look warmer.)

It's just not making any sense to me that the white area is showing zero MP hits while the yellow area is showing 80+, and that the areas picked out by the 2 indis aren't even the same one. There is absolutely zero overlap between these 2 areas, and that has me confused.

The MP is based on SRZoneBars and CZ Map is CZBars. I think this by design otherwhise why even have different settings. What can I say, in the end indicators are a stupid gathering of facts.

I reattached your picture with some markup why I think it looks ok. I also attached my chart with same settings. You can see that it is noticeably differences from feed differences. Makes you realize how fragile indicators can be.

Excellent explanation.

Is the Fractal threshold only regarding the 1000 box as well?

I just noticed that the 4000 box is behaving like the Ignore box used to.

No artifacts should paint beyond the box.

This is the first time that I've been able to observe the CZ's overlapping in real time. And this is exactly how I imagined it. Great job. Big thumbs-up!

Paradox, here is an example of how this indi can be used. I know you've been curious about some of my techniques.

This pic shows how the CZ and the Ignore box have formed a perfect confluence. It's not often the CZ will reach 60 bars (what the Ignore box is set for), but it's a special moment when it does. It even has 62 at the time this pic was taken, which is even better.

For a breakout trader, zones of this type have a special significance.

Thanks but that is just a nice CZ. I think I understand the CZ breakout trading or at least I am not having a problem being mostly successful with it. It is refining my entire trade management and strategy that I want to continue to improve and refine. I can figure this out on my own but it is always useful to look for others insights to get you out of your box.

From reading your post here I realized I have no idea how you manage your trades and therefore even what questions to ask.

But on to why I posted. I am attaching a new version with only the minor change to address you backbeam issue a few posts ago. I am not clear if you are using the arrows-alerts in squalous indicator and don't want to post and explain my code if you have no need of it. My implementation can give the basic entry arrows but it is also for getting trade stats based on your entries and bullbearies trade management ideas.

If you don't need this than this will be the last public post of the code.

I am going to work on just trading this more as well as making some basic EA tools(Manually setting up the right series of pending orders and stops that is valid in the US is way a pain in the butt).

Eventually I want to revisit this some more and get some better analysis of the arcs. Maybe the CrazyEddy code you inspired could be dynamically applied there. Also could just get some more practical rules around the heatmap spikes. Either way I will just sit with it all for a while unless you have any further insights.

anyone using this indi ... if so how...........thanx
