Nice picture! I tried to get the same one using the same settings as you. But I get a much lower Net Pip (1222.1 pips) I wonder why. Do you use 100 Days Back?
BoxMartingale=True?

Looking at the screenshot you posted the most obvious difference is your buffer settings, it looks like yours are set to zero. There is also a small difference in the size of your cz's but this is probably down to the broker. There will always be differences, your probably using different brokers, even if your using the same broker they have different servers for different customers, they might get their feed from different banks/market makers or whatever they're called these days. There will be different spreads etc.... all this adds up and if you have spent time tweaking settings then you will see how much a seemingly small matter of one pip added to yoru buffer zone can change results significantly.

It's also worth remembering that what your looking at is past, it's history, those exact conditions and price movements will never occur again and so it's impossible to replicate pip count and win ratio's in the next 100 days. You simply have to forward test and put your trust in the system.

pa has return to the cz on eur - usd after breaking up and down..... is it still ok to trust this cz or is the market showing hesitation
Looks good.

I would see there that the buffer pips on top and bottom of the zone is necessary. I found it absolutely necessary for me.

But everybody must do its own homework, never follow 'blindly' other one parameters.

And that is why I like trading SSBO - no matter what the market does, all you have to do is stick to the system.... nothing else.... it's really so simple! Hang on to your box, don't throw it out because of one or two bad runs, because you might miss out when it goes pip hunting :-)

Right now theres a cz forming on my gbpusd M15 chart it's 40 bars and counting but the indicator wont show it as i'm already in a trade from a previous cz, but I can still spot it, i've drawn a box round it, i always do. It's probably not going to break until the eu fin meeting tomorrow so i cant do anything about it anyway, i'll be patient and wait. It's less than 20 pips tall and 39 bars at the minute. Should be a cracking breakout when it comes.

Anyway, thats not the reason I'm here.... check this screenshot out. eurusd has barely moved today....
Grrrrrr, if it hadn't been for that Bundesbank rumour today I reckon this would have hit TP, a mere 6 pips away when the rumour broke. Ah well, theres more cz's to focus on later in the week I expect

I go back 360 days.

Also like others mentioned you have to look at buffer, spread, feed, martingale, etc...

The market never sleeps, but don't forget that there are 5 trading days/week.

100 days ~ 5 months

I was referring to fxglider - you asked about his high pip total.

cz on the jpy usd that broke down looks like it will retest the last cz area

this is in a band where previous czs have formed....

this could be a change in direction possibly a test of the new highs reached recently on jpy usd

Hallo, can anybody (Xux99 or anybody else convert this indi

http://images.forexfactory.net/attach/mq4.gifAuthorizedSSBODynamicBreakoutBoxFinalEdition.mq4 (http://www.forexfactory.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=1029433&d=1346332209)

to EA, that will work exactly acording to this indi, e.g. alerts convert to right orders. Everything at this indi is good, only add Lots, when BoxMartin is true, set Lots x Martinmultiplicator, when order goes to SL. Stairstepbreakout EA is different.

Many Thanks.

Oh how I wish I had a banning bat this morning...

If you can't even take a fucking minute to read post 1, gtfo of here.

Rant over

In other news, patience has been testing me lately; I have my first CZ on G/U since the 18th! It's not an "impressive" one, but it fits my criterias, needless to say that I am in.

Sorry, no pics though!

Man the price action on this has been looking quite ugly for the past couple of weeks, my really good looking cz came to nothing yesterday. looking at only 50% wins since the 10th. But on the bright side, the last time it had a two week spell like this the following 20 trades were 19 wins and 1 loss.
