Just want to make sure I understand this correctly.....

Where it says breakouts Long =22=Average 28.8 pips means that within my time period which is set at 15 days, it took 22 buy trades which averaged a max profit of 28.8 pips?

Where it says breakouts Short=26=Average36.2 pips means that within the last 15 days, it took 26 short trades which averaged a max profit of 36.2 pips?

Is that a correct assumption looking at the data on the dashboard?

Quick question, I have the new indi installed and I want to change the notifications. Am I understanding this right? (Sorry, long few days)

I only have 1 digit in the notification box, I have entered 3 and 1 in this format 31. Is that the correct way or am I missing something?

Cheers guys, excuse the ignorance I haven't slept much lately. Sick kids.

Edit. Forgot the chart porn.

One hing with the new indi, my settings had a 74% breakout success on this pair before I installed it. Strange but I'm too tired to work it out at the moment. Still, the results speak loudly.
Also, can anyone offer any advice on how to change the net pips colour. Either my eyes are boggled or it is overlaid with something making it barely readable.

Quick Take Profit was the answer I was looking for. You didn't pick it out directly, but I have to give you credit at least for being the first person to mention it by name. For me, the QTP is the one vital piece of information that I look for first (and some times only.)

There are many peripherals in the dashboard that can easily cause a distraction, as we have just seen today. You can, as Jay has just demonstrated, spend entire days tweaking and curve-fitting, and still seem like the end is no where in sight.

Personally, I prefer a much simpler...

Yes, 31 is the right setting if you want all the alerts.

You can change the colour of the net pips by changing the PipsProfitColor.

I want to thank forexhard for an outstanding system! I don't post much but hopefully that will change. I have been reading and studying the thread for a while and I started trading this system two days ago. It is a very stress free way to trade with obvious entries and exits.

I prefer the M5 TF for no other reason than I enjoy trading. I am trading small .05 lots to get my feet wet and to be able to use the Martingale piece of the SSBO. I have to say I prefer the previous version of the indicator tool even though I have been getting some repainting.

Here are my results for today. I am almost stunned....

EURUSD +20
EURGBP +20
GBPUSD +20
Another EURUSD +20
EURJPY +20

Total 100 pips! Once again...thank you! Your generosity and knowledge is appreciated more than you will ever know. Hopefully, this is a game changer!

SendEmail, SendNotifications, ScreenShots and Alerts options are now two digit values. For the first digit, 0 means no action, 1 means an action only when a trade is opened, 2 only when a trade is closed, 3 in both cases. For the second digit, 0 means no action, 1 means an action when a new CZ is formed.
Thanks a ton for the functionality to notify when new CZ is formed. It is slick. Thanks to you and FXH for tirelessly working to help out the rest of us.

In and out in less than a minute. Quite possibly the easiest pips I'll make all year.

Gee, shucks. Being retired and being able to be around my PC I had never thought about these signals going to a smart phone so hey, that is smart. I use an old Motorola and have not graduated to smart phones - presently no need but hey, nicely done xux99 and fxh. When I want alerts I just turn up the volume on my hi-fi system and can hear throughout the house. Old fashioned maybe but costs nothing. :-)

I haven't searched for the post FxH mentioned but what I do when I want to understand how the indi does it's stuff to make sure I get a good grasp of it (and I haven't been able to do this yet with the 2nd version) is make the settings so I can visually examine everything it is telling me. If you're getting 2-3 CZs per week then set the Days Back to 5 or 10 days and examine what it's doing. You'll see what it's adding up for you. Confirm it as you increase the Days Back to make sure you know what's going on.

My 2¢

On my MT4 I just select close trade and then change the lot size to the amount I want to close. Then hit close trade.

I also ignored the cable trades, both were indicated at the top of large candles. I don't trade those.

I am short eur/usd. I use the 30m chart for that pair and it signalled after a long cz. Same happened last Friday, it paid off eventually. I was a bit late getting in so reduced my tp accordingly.
