fx or Xux,

You had mentioned there were many updated versions of ssbo, both on the indi and the ea addressing all the issues discussed on the thread here. Is the SSBO indi on page one the current version? If not is it possible to update that one, the indi side of it?

Thanks!

doji

Patience, my friend They are still working on it

And if last week was great for you, then what?

...

If you can't stand losing, then you are in the wrong business.
If you can't tolerate several losses in a row, you are in the wrong business.
If you don't have the patience to build up your edge over the course of several weeks, you are in the wrong business.
Yes, sir!

Having said that, this was my first Trade Set Loss on G/U in 100 days forward tested, no settings changed.

Thank you!

2 of the 5 trades i took in the past 24 hours or so (the other 3 were AUDUSD, EURJPY & EURUSD) AUDUSD is still running. Feels good after some setbacks in the last 2 weeks (6% down) to get a string of decent wins on the board.

If anyone knows how to superimpose 2 screenshots onto each other I'd love to know how. I want to take an H4 chart with cz's and drop it onto an M15 chart with cz's, if that makes sense.

Short EURUSD 1st tp 20 pips


let's see....

P.S. Im using the indicator but base my trades off more visual cues i.e. the current box is larger as it automatically set, but the actually highs for this cz are smaller, hence my SL is above them and not the box. I use the indicator as a rough guide.

FXH, thanks for the thread. Very interesting and certainly thought-provoking.

I have a few observations:

1. The indicator is a clever piece of coding but I wonder about using it blindly - and therefore its usefulness in back-testing.
I see a lot of people setting their parameters, finding the best win percentage and pip count combination and then looking forward to withdrawing their winnings. However many of the CZs don't look anything like a CZ to me. Sure there are some narrow candles but often price enters one side and exits from the other and the price action is one way through the zone.
Are we not best to see some tops and bottoms in the zone?

2. The parameters will restrict to a certain box height. We had the classic CZ on the EU on 10-11 Jan. Have you seen many better ones? My 15M settings for this pair were 26 pips x 30 bars so there was no box. You would have to take this one though. It was over 70 bars long.
My point - the naked eye is still way ahead of the indicator in this respect. I am pretty sure from your posts that you don't take them all and you no doubt take some that don't meet the criteria just as you did before the indicator was written.

I totally agree with this view and it was a good reminder for me.

Morning folks,

I'm posting a screenshot of an H4 chart which I started with a couple of days ago. I should have noticed before but please take a look at the pic. You will see that the last 2 cz's formed as per my settings. However, the cz hasn't adjusted itself to take account that the bars within it are smaller in range than the cz. They should have been drawn as 40 & 50 pip ranges but both are stuck at 60.

Might already be a known issue, I haven't looked back in the thread to see if it's already been mentioned so apologies if it has. Has anybody else seen this on their H4 charts, I seem to recall that there are a couple of folk using H4.

Like I said a couple of pages back, I expected the CZ's to return to normal once the range from last week was broken. So far, so good this week...
