Wow, what a pretty sight. It won't mean much to you guys necessarily, but as the OP it stands for one of the most important decisions I've ever made, both as a trading mentor and as a person. Thanks to everyone that's participated in SSBO over the last 16 months! I truly hope it has changed your lives for the better. See you all at our 2 year anniversary...
Congrats! Again, thank you for all your persistance and efforts!

Dear All,

You may recall I was trying to trade this while on the go the other day but although a push notification was coming through to my phone I didn't know the exact levels. I've been playing around with the code to try and solve this and I think I've cracked it. Not sure if anyone else will find it useful but if you can't be in front of your computer all day then this may help you to trade SSBO while you're out.

Code is:
void send_trading_signal(int type, double price)
{s1=StringConcatenate(WindowExpertName(),":",StringSubstr(Symbol(),0,6)," ",op_str[type]," Signal"," @ ",DoubleToStr(price,5),"; CZ High = ",NormalizeDouble(upperBox,5),5,"; CZ Low = ",NormalizeDouble(lowerBox,5),5,"; TP Long = ",NormalizeDouble(price,5),5+(NormalizeDouble(TakeProfit,5)/10000),"; TP Short = ",NormalizeDouble(price,5),5-(NormalizeDouble(TakeProfit,5)/10000));
if (SignalMail) {SendMail(s1,StringConcatenate(StringSubstr(Symbol(),0,6),":",op_str[type]," @ ",DoubleToStr(price,Digits)));}
if (SignalPush) {SendNotification(s1);}
if (SignalAlert) {Alert(s1);}
if (SignalPrint) {Print(s1,StringConcatenate(StringSubstr(Symbol(),0,6),":",op_str[type]));}
}

I would recommend commenting out the original code and then pasting this above/below so you can revert to the original should you wish.

I also added the option of printing the output to your log file and having both push and alerts. If you wanted you can now have email, push, alert & print to log file all at the same time. In order to do this just replace the variables at the top of the code with the following:

extern bool SignalMail = false;
extern bool SignalPush = false;
extern bool SignalAlert = false;
extern bool SignalPrint = false;


This produces output as follows:
SSBO:EURNZD SELL Signal @ 1.55967; CZ High = 1.56015; CZ Low = 1.55975; TP Long = 1.55975; TP Short = 1.55975

You will notice that I've been using an M1 chart with an extremely small range (4 pips) and tiny TP (0.5) but this is just to get high turnover of signals for testing purposes. When you load it up on a M15 chart you should get all the information you need to trade this from your phone.

I hope this helps others in my situation.

Kind regards,
Steve.

Thats interesting never thought of using martingale like that before but for now im going to keep it simple for right now so that i could tweak the settings a little bit more to find the sweet spots. Your post actually got me thinking about new possible targets after consecutive losses. When price breaks and returns to our zone without hitting our TP its because the market still has not decided which direction it wants to go as of yet. So that means the subsequent breakout is going to be stronger and thus a higher TP might be called for. Right now...
My feeling about that :

- Completly agree your idea that when the market goes up then back to the CZ and down and back again to the CZ this is a waiting stage (maybe we can call it a "floor" between two stairs ?).

- But for me this doesn't mean that the NEXT stairstep will be bigger than others from previous days. I feel that it means only that we will have a succession of steps in the same direction when we leave the floor. The market will trend until next "floor" (for example from 1.60 to 1.55).

We had a "floor" for me in the middle of this week and now we are trending down, with the big bounce back from 1.6 resistance this morning.

My conclusions of that is that i would not widden my stops / take profits, or if you do it, prepare to wait 2 or 3 days for completion. This has a cost too.

The better maybe to lose the first trade and wait for leaving the floor. Don't know.

So you have the indicator on "MaxBreakoutTrades" set to 3 but you take only the first one. The others are only bounces that shows we are on a "floor". Wait for the next good trade : you will be now one stair away from the floor.

Maybe this is what FXH wanted to say "to avoid unwanted trades".

Its not about crossed fingers...its about bloodied fingers and bloodshot eyes = the result of months of fiddling, testing and reading to get settings that work for how you want to use the system!

Relax A.w.o.l, this was just a pause time...

I know it works for people who work hard on it.

For me this is now two years of work and i only start to make consistent profits. +10% of my capital this week... which bank can do it ? SSBO did it

Wish more and more pips to everybody !

Hi people i would you to comparing 2 Swg123's charts. The first at post 3888 and the second one at post 3096 (the 2° chart GU).
The first has been posted on 1th november while the second on 5th november.
If you see the individual trades on 1th nov there are a total of 52+17=69; On 5th nov there are 52+14=66.

How is possible?

100 day lookback. It's a rolling period, like a shift register.

Hello everyone!

I've been reading over this thread and it sure looks great. Kudos to the starter!

Can this system be automated? Are there any optimized parameters for certain pairs regarding the settings?

Any help is much appreciated, thanks

Maybe read some more.....plenty of help scattered around the thread. Try and find the post from FXH describing the 3 stages of the market. Once your at the stage when you can visually pick out the stair steps then your half way there.

Good luck!

keiichi2 , reading ALL posts before doing any real-account trade is more than advisable, this is probably mandatory for success.

Be patient, everything comes to people working hard. Its only a matter of time. I wish it happens to everybody on earth.

Good luck too !

what a morning to wake up too all my 6 pairs i have been following all formed zones and are close or in the process of breaking. Current GU 5 min short taken, was not on the initial break long however as I was sleeping.

Just a quick question FXH, on post 2060 you said that the 5min should ideally give you approximately half of what your 15min gives you in order to prevent against some whiplash, however with the settings I have applied for the GU 5 min it seems that i have hit some what of a sweet spot I am getting a lot more zones still with a high win percentage, I am just wondering if this is due to possible a small sample size (goes back to aug 15) and should i keep refining until I get to the ideal weekly target of CZs per week?
