Yes it also seems the EMA repaints and resets price entries. i.e. if price breakouts and ema crosses the breakout line it shows an entry but then if within the same candle the price retracts the ema also does and the entry is cancelled (eventhough we might have taken the entry).
This is why the results look so good in hindsight.

Having said that , I may be wrong and I am still watching the EMA.

I entered on re-test (red arrow) with a pending order as I'd missed the b/o. Closed it manually at 25p.

I just love these tight overnight CZ's. (Vertical line = London open.) Even better at round numbers. Can't miss them on MT4 Mobile after spending a year watching PPA (pure price action) on the touchscreen.

The default Days Back setting is 100 days, which comes to 14.4 weeks not 4.5. If you are only seeing 4.5, it means that your platform only has that much old tick data stored up. In order for the Indi to work properly you need to import extra historical tick data from your broker.
To improve is to change. To perfect, is to change often.

Also pulled 25 from GBP/USD and 25 from EUR/GBP.

USD/CHF trade failed for -18, now in recovery trade but flirting with my SL.

Can't be trading this week as I'm out of the office; then again, this is a perfect time for me to sit back, watch the indie do it's duty, take notes until I fully understand how it works.

I entirely trust the system and am very thankful to FXH and XUX' hard work, but now it's up to me to fully grasp the new "concepts" behind the indie to get my confidence up.

I met my goal on this trade - took partial off at QP and just closed balance.

EURUSD today.
Hi jbosco, you seem to have your days back set to 10 days. I'm assuming this is intentional, I think such a short time would play on my mind far to much to trade that way but each to their own I suppose. When I'm tweaking settings I generally check 30, 60, 100 & 150 days back and see how the stats fluctuate.

It's a brave strategy and I'm curious to know if anyone else bases their settings on short periods.

I have noticed with the new indicator that it seems to change its mind. Today on eur/usd it signaled a buy and I made the order only for it to later change. I had 3 previous boxes on the screen but it had reverted to one. I opened the indicator, edit and closed without changing anything and it was back to the three boxes but there was no trade this time. It is happening quite a lot that I have to refresh this way. Perhaps it is my MT4, I am new to MT4.

Also, it is giving alert noises every time price passes the mark when a trade is open.

Anyone else having these issues?

As you can see here. No trade. Yet according to my notes it signaled at 9.30. I went long with it and the trade is still open.

Just caught it in the act. This is not the way it was. The stats have changed.

http://i220.photobucket.com/albums/d...ps558f49fe.gif

Yet after I refresh it by opening indicator, selecting edit and closing without changes.
Back to normal.

This time the indicated trade is still there.

I'm also having issues with the fibs. I activated them on the aud, when I deactivated them they are still there. I have tried reactivating and deactivating again and now have two sets showing.

Perhaps there is an issue with my MT4?

Can anyone else replicate or confirm they have similar issues?

Try the following on MT4: select Charts... Objects... Objects List and delete the lines.
Cheers.
