I'm a bit confused today. I ended up slightly down when I should be up.

The indicator alarmed three times for 2 trades....

1st circle for when my stop loss hit -28 and a sell alert popped up which makes sense as price had gone past buffer, then hit stop loss and then triggered. That's fine, perfectly acceptable...(as you can see there is no arrow for the first sell alert but there is one for the second)

So I hit the magical trade button and then, strangely I get another sell signal. So I had to widen my stop...
Your chart says to me you had 2 wins - at the worst 2 break evens. Tell me I'm wrong FXH.

AWOL, it appears as though you have engaged the StopLossOverride feature. Please tell me if this is so before we go any further...

Correct. I wanted to set my own stop loss.

Hi happy I don't practice been live for 5 or more years now. The chart tells it all plus was a breakout of the Asian market.
Thanks. Yes the graph "speaks" itself.

I am actually trying on EURUSD (at least 10 trades before making any conclusion) but want to check for one other pair.

I try to figure out how it is profitable with your settings : can you give us the number of trade wons and number of trade lost for the last 10 you made for example ?

Few people here show their lost trade. Maybe they never lose but i am not so sure of that.

It will be very helpfull.

OK. But did you read the Guide warning about this feature? (<--This is rhetorical, don't answer.) My point is, I wish that you would heed the warning.

Besides that, I don't see a bug. The indi is doing everything you asked it to do.

HappyForex, please go back and read paragraph #2 in the OP again. We NEVER ask for templates or settings in here. In this thread we assume that everyone has done all the exercises mentioned in the OP, we assume that everyone has read the entire thread at least once, and we assume that everyone is telling the truth about their trades and their exeriences in general. It's all about mutual respect and trust. And I have absolutely no problem with banning anyone that break those rules, or violates those expectations. Everyone is treated as equals, until they out themselves are unrepentant noobs; then they get treated as such.

Ok no worries. I realize its not a bug and am happy to continue as is so thanks FXH!

Just signed up for an MT4 live account. First surprise to me was having used a demo I presumed the spread was fixed and not variable as I see it is now....not a big deal my settings work fine and I'll use my separate demo along with the live MT4 as backup. Booya!

Hope some of you caught the BO on EJ 5 min didnt take the trade because already had a couple bad trades this morning on 15min time frame but it was a nice BO if anyone caught it. I was on the BO on EU 5min however, and banked 20 pips so its an okay morning so far, just moved SL to BE

You are right most people don't post losing trades. I trade 90% cable and will post a chart in the morning from London opening with my settings.

Hi,

I am just asking for winning percentage, not the settings itself. I think it is almost neutral to say "i had 7 wins and 3 lost". No more.

I absolutly believe in what everybody write here.

I tested the indicator but it is not accurate enough (spread), even this is a very good work. Nothing replaces live trading experience.

Don't worry C345, you don't have to post your chart. You gave me the answer... 90% means at least to be investigated.

Good luck pippers !

Here's my point in all of this: If YOU want to post YOUR trades YOUR way, then by all means do so. No one will criticize you, no matter what you do or don't post. But what you can't do is ask this of someone else. Because no one is asking of it from you -- at least not if they are following forum guidelines. But if YOU feel that something is missing from the dialog in here, then I encourage YOU to do something about it instead of pointing fingers at others.

In internet terms, you are coming off as what's known as a 'concern troll'. Don't be one. Lead by example, and everyone around you will do the same.

Thanks for the tip, but I'm not convinced it's the same problem. In this case I think it's a misplaced decimal point. It was reading 2.4 pips, but in actuality it should have been right around 24. Xux is looking into it...
Xux has messaged me to say that he found and fixed something here.

Everyone, speak up if you think you spot a bug anywhere in the coding. It may prove to be nothing, but better safe than sorry. So far Xux has been incredibly fast with his responses, so let's honor that in every way.

HappyForex,

Man your blowing this way out of context. Try to ask constructive questions, not those to indicate you havent read the thread, dont feel you need to read the tread. Its not what your asking its how your asking.

I have had 12 wins, 1 loss in the last 12days. Today...posted below.... As you can tell my entry was against my setting in on this pair. The entry is actually higher, per indicator, but I have learned there is usually a pullback. This was a set and forget trade for me, I took it put in tp,sl and went to bed, I lost. This doesnt mean the whole method is crap. Do your own work, ask constructive questions, not accusatory. Today...posted below....So how does this reflect on FH or his SSBO indicator?? It doesnt. My trades were random, I didnt take everyone, why??? because you still have to use some common sense, s/d for example. This thread is all about an 'edge', understanding the edge and learning to trade this 'edge'. If you want to learn and get some constructive help...lose the attitude and stay...otherwise..your wasting alot of peoples time. Dont even respond to my comments here if they are going to be argumentative. Forgive and forget, lets move on. This is a great method, thread. Join us or leave us and find something you believe in.

DC, I asked Xux about it a few days ago, and he wrote it off as a minor glitch in the MT4 coding. He wrote, "The latest Metatrader version may have a bug that changes candles high, low, open, close data. I have seen it sometimes when I backtest the EA. Some candles show 0 as close value." So if Xux's not bothered by it, I think we can safely ignore it too. And if it turns out to be something, I know Xux will find a work-around.
