So far trusting the indicator has been more profitable than trading naked with what I see, and trading the indicator allows me to have clearer plan to follow with my trading.
So I have to say I trust the indicator as long as I know what it's doing and what faults it might have

Straight to QTP, well taken this morning after a few losses.

Note that I find my settings using the new indicator and slap them back into the general release as it hogs less resources from my computer and doesn't repaint new settings.

Notifications- I know this subject has come up before, i've just been reading the thread from the point at which the new indi was released in January. I've set my 'send notifications' variable to 31 as recommended and yaaayy i'm getting a notification of a CZ forming, so far 6 times for the same cz. I am curious about the other input fields for email, trade etc... as I can't see that it has been brought up in the thread. So my question is threefold

a) how do i stop being notified of a cz forming more than once?
b) for the other fields is it simply 0 = no notification, 1 = send notification?
c) where a field requires two values (e.g. 31) what are the acceptable values and what do they do.

OR will putting 31 into 'send notifications' cover everything?

I've requested push notifications be sent to so I'm hoping my phone will start pinging at me sometime in the next few hours.

I'm in danger of a second wrist slapping today but in nearly 50 pages i could only find the set up push notifications and the 31 value to get messages into my MT4 mobile.

I'm guessing you've re-read this post.

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.
Although I don't use the notifications, I'd say that 31 should send all notifications possible.

As far as the "more than once" notifications, my guess would be that the repainting of adding new candles might be triggering the notification - I have never played with this so I can't confirm, just suspecting this is what's happening.

Therefore :

10 = Trade Opened + Nothing
11 = Trade Opened + New CZ
20 = Trade Closed + Nothing
21 = Trade Closed + New CZ
30 = Trade Opened, Trade Closed + Nothing
31 = Trade Opened, Trade Closed + New CZ

about the notifications on cz forming - when a new candle closes and it is within the parameters of your settings for a cz, a notification will be sent. The notification for a new cz stops when price touches the limits of your cz.

sounds like a basket trade could be an option but at the end of the day 20 pips in the bank is better than 0 pips in the bank. It all comes back to probabilities and the distribution curve in order to maximise those opportunities. I wish MT4 came with a statistical analysis tool, i'm convinced the banks have these programs with their huge resources to extract these probabilities (to answer such questions as 'if PA breaks out to 20 pips, how often does it then reach x pips, and x pips after that without reversing by more than Y pips or hitting the...

Cheers guys, I dont know why i didn't think to search xux99's posts from his profile. I missed it because I was scanning through for the first screenshot with the new indi as my starting point.

All sorted now.

What new indicator would that be? I follow along regularly. The most recent update of the indicator I have is 02/21. Is there one more recent that I somehow missed?

Its so simple its hard.

I set my notifications to 31 and trade alerts to 1. signal on my phone tells me when short or long. I enter a limit or stop order to to enter at the given price. Now im in. Next signal I log on then close the trade manually. It tells me either way. Stopped out or Take Profit was hit. I check after i close the trade. Pure statistics. I do this on one pair as a backup for when i'm working on my computer. Works great, don't miss a trade unless its one I chose not to take(example, certain times). Again I only trade one pair this way...so the signals don't get confusing.

Hi Panamamike,

It's not yet ready for general release, FXH has released it for testing to the folks who have posted over 100 times to the thread. It's heavy on cpu resources and so it's difficult for just him and xux99 to test widely on just a couple of computers I guess, the fan on my laptop is constantly whirring so i know it's eating up resource.

Which reminds me, Alpari told me a couple of months back they were hoping to be offering a free hosting service for live accounts as long as you trade at least 10 times a month. I seem to recall them saying sometime in Q1. Are there any other Alpari clients here who have heard about this as I would dearly love to get this indi onto their servers, I think my cpu will retire in a few weeks if i'm too heavy on usage. Think I might need to reduce the number of charts i'm monitoring.

Interesting. I have seen Fxhard post elsewhere about using the midpoint of the CZ as pivot where the stop loss can be placed (correct me if Im wrong).

missed it oz was asleep - stupid human body needing sleeo

also i read your questions about mm and rr you posted a few pages back. risk reward ratio can be tricky with these breakouts because if they stay in range

your in the worst place in to be in. my approach which im using currently is to have a %2 sl IF the breakout happens quickly however if the breakout is more of a

crawl-out i look for a point beyond past pa in the box somewhere around the half way mark a place where theres some extra support (maybe) - not necessarily

the mid point though

doji rock im watching that cz aswell - i have recently drawn a new slightly lower box over recent pa

some of my favourite pairs are forming and then some at the moment eurusd-pic cable aususd usdcad-pic eurjpy eurgbp

now this could just be due to the bank holidays and what not but i doubt it

US data coming soon could be a trigger
