Hi FXH.
Could you please make the NetPips = A BOLDENED NUMBER
and preferably a sign in front of it rather than, or in addition to, a colour ? When it is amidst a bunch of candles it is difficult, on my monitors at least, to see either colour or number unless I turn brightness way up. I already changed the colour but cannot change only the net number.
Sincere thanks,
AltosT

Hello,

This thread has inspired me to leave the lurker closet and try and participate. Here is my problem.

I attached 2 charts, the indi as you can see is set to M15. If I read correctly setting the indi to M15 should plot the 15 minute CZ on any chart. If I have that wrong just do as my name says.

As you can see it is not doing that. It is plotting a CZ on the 5 minute chart that is different from the one on the 15minute chart any help that you all could give to fix this problem would be appreciated.

Thanks to all in advance

As I have read this thread I have set the indicator to some of the settings that others have posted and I get no where near the same results. Am I nuts or am I doing something wrong?

I am very very very new to Forex so feel free to kick me. OTA did for over 10k in lessons and where am I but here in this forum. Thanks by the way for this. I am just confused on why the results are different with same settings. Is it the broker or the spread etc.

I can find the CZ's manual but really would like to use this indicator so I can trade from office or on road when I cant sit and look at charts for 6 hours.

Example Wally 1953 has settings of 16/16/M5 gets 197 CZ's a week and 600 pips, I get the what is in the picture I attached.

My other question is this. If I set a parameter of 20 pips length 20 bars why are CZ's being drawn that are say 18 pips 82 bars.

Thanks for the help in advance

It amazes me how some guys can understand the 1st post, read the entire thread, demo, take notes, and eventually become self-taught traders, and how other guys download the indi, ignore everything else, and jump to the end and expect special treatment.

The font style and font size are both customizable. Pick a bolder font from your library, and input a larger font size, and that should do it.

Hi

I just started to get familiar to this trading system.

I have been thinking on how to set my TP in a manner that is in sync with the market movement and not to go for a set number of pips.

Taking this chart from the begining of the thread:

When setting the TP for going short or long could I rely on the previous levels of S/R, for example:

Is it a good strategy to adjust the TP in corelation to the "room"/"space" between the CZ and spots where the price met resistance or support?

I have been trading a fixed size hand drawn cz placed so as to cover as many candles as possible, particularly the later ones if possible. I make the end of the CZ for GU on the candle before the London open, for no other reason than that it suits the time that I can be in front of my computer to place my trades.

It seems to work as well as the indi as far as results go. It eliminates BO's in the low volume Asian session if any. If a major BO has happened then I would have been too late anyway, so that would be a no trade day for me, or I could try the same thing in front of the NY open, as the market often consolidates ahead of the NY open usually waiting for the news if any.

Just another way of doing this strategy, if you like the EA when it comes, you wont need this. Thought it would be of interest to the thread.

I think he just meant that he left the SL override as 0 and used CZ as his SL. Which would actually be 17pips due to buffer (and of course spread). Not 15 like he said.

The thing is, the default SL is always the opposite side of the CZ unless the StopLossOverride is engaged. So by having the MinBar set to 1, his actual SL could be much higher than 17p depending on how big the breakout candle is, and where it closes in relation to the Buffer. Regardless, the indicator will always compensate for these extra pips and keep the TP/SL 1:1 ratio intact by default, but it's important to keep all these variables in mind when adjusting your settings.
