Saw this on my charts this morning, and empty CZ. At first I thought it was just a refresh issue so moved up a timeframe and then back but it still appeared. I have closed MT4 and re-opened twice but to no avail. It's the first time I've seen it do this and I'm wondering if I have uncovered something....

Hi forexhard

The need to introduce my self is self evident. I have been watching most of the activity on Forex Factory for about 7 yrs. yet never participated in any way until now. I have stayed in the shadows per-say mainly because of all the dribble, pipe-dreams and naivete scattered throughout the various forums. I mean no disrespect to anyone, in fact it's quite the opposite my admiration for their courage at an attempt to break free from the bondage’s of a job to increase their wealth moves me. The one thing I always drilled into my children's heads was There Is No Such Thing As A Good Job.

Your system on the other hand has a great deal of merit, I have been following you from almost the beginning, had to go back and read the 1st 75 or so pages. Will admit that I have not practiced the guidelines that you laid out for everyone to follow. I probably been around to long. I have been trading futures since the mid 70's lately almost daily, currently have accounts with TDAmeritrade ThinkorSwim platform for options and IB concentrating in grains and currencies with a long only daily system. I was also a stock broker in the early 70's.

I have 4 demo accounts with (Alpari, MB Trading, Oanda and IBFX) and been utilizing (Auth. SSBO Dy) and generating incredible consistence results. I am to say the least quite impressed. Also being aware of the vast differences achieved between brokers as to results. I am very familiar with MT4 workings and testing EA, in fact the matter that caught my attention was term you used (CC) congestion zone, I/WE call it a static period my ((nephew) the programer)) have had many attempts to no avail at construction of EA's along the lines of your CC less the BO we never for whatever reason considered the BO. (My hat is off to you I believe you got it). His job was to write and I did the testing, over the years probably thousands of hours. I have been retired since 95 with lots of time on my hands. I would appreciate if you would include me in the testing period. I will be an asset with the testing to move your project forward in a timely fashion.

Looks like another good CZ is forming on GU. The more I practice drawing these the better I am getting at "seeing" them first. I am terrible at anything remotely to do with drawing, but this is a great exersize and I would encourage any new folks to do as instructed and spend a lot of time on this and not just go straight to the indicator.

AUS/USD has a nice CZ going.

I won't start using the indicator until I feel like I have mastered doing this by hand first.

Hi all,

I've added a line to the indicator so that MT4 platform will send me Push Notification on my iPhone instead (works on Android too). You'll need to install MT4 mobile platform on your mobile device to work.

Also, changed the message so that it includes the timeframe of the chart where the message is generated from
E.g. M5 GBPUSD...... or M15 GBPUSD......

Reason is becuz I trade on both M5 and M15 with different T/P and S/L settings so it becomes essential that I know which chart is showing me signal when I do not have access to my computer...

Fred:

On your iphone, go to the settings tab of MT4. Presuming that you have picked your broker and provided your credentials, go to the messages section. At the bottom of the screen you will see "MY ID" with a unique number. This number must be put into the push notifications option tab on MT4 on your desktop. (Tools/options/Notifications). Click on enable push notifications. enter the unique ID number and send yourself a test message.

GU sure has been ranging for a while. I imagine all sorts of people are studying their myriad of indicators to predict which way it will go next. Me, I am just waiting for a break either way.

Dewey, I'm a bit behind you in the thread reading but appreciate your comments. It's a fairly quiet time witness your GU CZ image that runs on 'forever.'

I am finding I prefer crafting the CZ boxes on my own, but perhaps I will feel different down the road. It seems FH traded SSBO for several successful years without any EA or indicator, so it surely can be done. It also strikes me that a CZ is where you find it, in the size it actually takes on which may be a bit less or more than prescribed limits with the indi. I'm just musing.

By the way, roughly how many pairs are you trying to monitor at this stage of your learning?

Every success to you, of course FH, and the many SSBO practitioners out there.

Thanks. I want to learn this without the indicator first so I don't feel dependent upon it. I am focused on the one pair for now, G/U, but I have been playing around drawing the CZ's on other pairs to get the practice in. You bring up a good point which is something I have been thinking about and wanted to throw out there and ask the more experienced ones:

Is it best to decide in advance which size CZ's you will trade and stick to that plan, as the indicator would steer you towards doing? Or should we just look at what the market gives us--look at the CZ in front of our eyes on the chart and trade off of what's there?

FH --

There is something remarkably powerful about 1) the stability of SSBO as you have designed it, and 2) your firm leadership over the forum to guide it so far and long without it turning into a pile of mush with 38 'helpful' indicators added or just going dead. And of course the founder long, long gone. But you are still with us. Quite wonderful. It really says a lot about you as a person.

There are very, very few similar examples across the forums of FF.

Hats off to you! Cheers.

Hi all,

I have been watching and reading from the sidelines for a number of weeks now and feel its time to make my 1st post. Firstly I would like to congratulate and thank Forexhard and others within the indi development team for a superb system and a complimentary indicator.

I have been frustrated of late as I cant always monitor the potential breakouts (work commitments etc... just like most of us.) and every time I see an opportunity based on the Expert Advisor CZ zones the trade ends up going in the wrong direction and typically the ones that move in the correct direction I miss, so for that reason I'm really looking forward to the auto EA currently being tested by a select few. This way I should hopefully catch all breakouts as opposed to the select few I encounter when I have time to look at the charts.

I also like the manual aspect trading as it feels much more rewarding when you get the trade correct without being overly dependent on the EA.

Example:

A few days back I had a buy signal for EURGBP which I decided to enter and unfortunately that went against me! Then today there was a sell signal and I missed this and typically it moved over 300+ pips.

I hoping I have finally found a system that can reverse my fortunes.

Thanks again.

Anyone know why there was no down signal in the chart I posted?
Also have had a few issues with alerts lately.
Anyone experiencing these issues?

From your picture it looks like your TP was already hit, once your TP is hit the indy will start looking for new zones and won't give any signals on the old zone which had already hit TP. Once TP has been hit its up to you to decide how to trade the subsequent BO's from that zone
