lol, your right FXH, unfortunately, my computer is need of upgrade and is very slow. But on the up side, im down to just one pair and using more MM to make the income needed instead of running multiple pairs (live) . This tool is BIG! Thanks to FXH and Xux99!

What is a bracketed input value?

A bracket is a number set that uses a hyphen -- e.g., 25-50.

Using a bracket will override that particular input in favor of the bracketed values.

How do we use this feature then? Imagine the AutoTest came back with a CZ of just 10 bars on the M15. (Which it does quite often in my experience.) But you feel that 10 bars is not enough for a proper CZ IYHO. If that's the case, then bracket that particular input (e.g., 25-50) and then no CZ in your test results will have less than 25 bars. Or more than 50....

Jay19,

Good observation.... This can tailor to everyone's own preference of risk, size of boxes, number of attempts per CZ.. etc... How exciting!

Something that I noticed, whether it was intentional or not, is the adaptability of the indie to ones MM and risk tolerance, and that IMO is a game changer.

For instance :

1) let's say one prefers to go with a max of Recovery #3 with regular Martingale;
2) while someone else prefers a less aggressive Recovery#3 AntiMGale;
3) or even a plain Recovery #3 without any MGale.

The indicator will optimize different profitable results for each of these 3 scenarios, all with minimal tweaking necessary. This is HUGE guys.

(Let me know if I'm spilling...

Good point - I am sensing I am trapped in the thought process that I can fine tune things to get better results - The journal idea which is really talked about on page one seems to be an area that I am feeling something is out of alignment with my trading mind. What I have so far is collect as much data as possible, that seems way to random. So I too am looking for guidance in this area.
Regarding the trading journal,

I have an excel file for just solely the stats so
win, loss, trade #, risk, reward, win%, loss%

something simple not too elaborate just the main points. Record each end of the month results, If i have two consecutive months with losing results I tweak my setting a little bit to get them into a winning state and then forward test that pair for a month before returning it into my line up.

then a word file with describing your emotions and reasons for the trade, why you took the trade, are you trying to recover a loss, are you martingaling, why did you set your stop there, how you felt when it reversed back, when it shot up etc.

I do this to help me to get a better control over my emotions during a trade so that i do not overreact when things do not go my way, becoming more robotic in a sense. There's always another trade. Hope this helped.

Loving CJ 15 this month. QP 40 and my second QP is either 60 or the previous zone. If my second QP hits, then in my mind a true breakout has occurred and i will only target the 1st QP on subsequent trades from the zone. green lines are where my QP was the previous zone. Yellow line is the trade i'm currently looking at. CJ broke again to the upside, (not on it as not in my trading time) so im looking for it to hit the bottom of the previous zone.

Try this Larry Kirkbride EA, best I have found, courtesy of the generosity of Hopwood.
Put CZ Line Drawing in the script files folder and drag it on the chart, move the lines to the position you like on a zone of congestion.
Next drag EA on chart and adjust 'auto calculate tp/sl' to true. Sit and relax.
Of course try on demo first and become familiar with the inputs.
Cheers.
I just tested it. when i check "true", an EA set wrong TP and SL, but "false", it set right? Some one help me

Listen up Everyone! I'm putting a stop to all the random EA's and codes coming into this thread!

If those EA's are from another thread, or another forum site, then go talk about them OVER THERE where they came from. I don't mind if you use them, and I don't mind if you PM other SSBO members about them. Just STOP adding them to the thread.

We already have an SSBO EA made by Xux99. It just hasn't been released yet. As you can see, there have been quite a few new (and amazing) modifications to the indicator, which Xux and I have been focused on for the last several weeks. When those mods have reached the apex, then we will go back to the EA and make some final tweaks. The reason being, and this is important so listen up, the EA is a dual indi: It works as both an EA and the indi, all rolled into one. So any improvements made to just the indicator will later get worked into the current form of the combo EA/Indi as well.

So... If you have an idea for the indi or the EA, send me and Xux99 a PM about it. We will talk it over, and if we like it then it will be added in. There are currently right now about 3 features in the indi that happened this way. So we do listen to you guys, and Xux is happy to spend his time making it happen if it passes our muster. But please stop polluting the thread with these random ideas and codes. If it doesn't come from Xux then I don't want to see it posted in here. Capice?

FXH any objects just let me know and i will remove the post. This is not an EA or another indicator, simply a script. This means it goes in your experts/scripts folder.

I am not a master coder and I'm sure someone around here can make what i did better (or maybe more accurate).

So there are 4 scripts in total:
SSBO.mq4: This one is for the simply CZ setups that are based on no minimum bar closed. i.e. when a new CZ has formed, you simply drag the script onto the chart. It doesn't ask for anything...it will automatically place 2 pending orders...

Don't get me wrong. I am deeply impressed that you follow SSBO closely enough to want to experimentally code a whole series of compatible scripts for it. I honor that creative spirit, I really do, and I'd hate to limit it in any way. But random indi posting usually happens in threads that are leaderless, or that have no expert coder working for the system. But SSBO has both.

In the future (for you and for anyone reading this), take your ideas straight to Xux99. If your codes gets Xux's endorsement it's safe to say you're on the right track.
