Hi Juan, Just remember fxhard has said that any data beyond 100 days is likely to be unreliable and so will give mixed results. Personally I had look at my settings over 100, 30 and 5 days. I then have a look at each of the cz's over that time frame to see I am happy with them. For example you will see some trades happen which you may never take like on a friday and then it gaps on a monday giving you skewed results. Once I have manually looked at those CZ's and happy with them, I leave the settings as part of my 100 day forward test (as recommended...
Hi Oztrader

yes i check it all cz on 100 days and its nice on first trade for 60 pips

Not so much unreliable as unnecessary and redundant. Anyone needing reassurance that the system works only needs to spend a week reading the thread: No testing required, back or forward.

My preference for backtesting parameters is a time frame that can also be forward tested. 100 days works well for this, for a variety of reasons.
To improve is to change. To perfect, is to change often.

Hi chaps,

I'm in this one and have screenshots (the latest version of the indicator installed first time, no problems at all so now I can provide charts again) for both H1 and M15.

I did suffer a small loss this morning when I bottled it early out of a USDJPY long trade. This is the last remaining hurdle I have now in trading (and by far the most difficult to get over), getting over the emotional aspect of it, like someone mentioned trade like a robot, once your in your in no going back, either SL or TP. It's been said more than a few times here and thousands of times elsewhere to take emotion out of the trade.

I know SSBO works, I dont need more faith I just need to stick to my plan. Jeez the amount of times I tell myself that.

Although I'm happy with my settings I still have some exploring to do with the indicator, such as playing around with the MA method and discovering what the 'applied price' variable does. Due to the problems I had with the previous version (I never did manage to resolve it on my laptop) I couldn't spend any time twiddling with it. So this weeks task is to re-read the thread from mid january to discover precious gems about the revised indicator.

On a related theme, aimed at other FXH captains, with the indi now using increased resources, have any of you changed the 'bars retest' variable? I've changed it to 96 bars on a couple of my M15 settings thinking I only need to autoupdate once a day. The reason I did this was to stop my screen freezing every 3 hours on each chart while it updates. I would value the thoughts of other users.

Update on GBPUSD, got stung on the initial breakout but more than made up for it in the recovery trade.

I have changed mine to update at the beginning of the month. I have thought of changing it every 100 days. One way to keep me from fiddling around with the indicator. On my lower time frames I am updating it on a weekly basis.

Actually you don't need to worry about it. Just identify good CZs, maybe there will be none maybe there will be good ones. Identify the CZ and place your buy and sell stops on either side accordingly.

Sure, being aware of the news may inform your trades but it really isn't trading SSBO. If you're worried about the news, stay out of the market, if not worried about the news base your trades on CZs. The news just means you'll probably get a quick result. If you're not over-leveraged there is nothing to worry about.

Cool, that does make sense. I think this coming Sunday I'll close my charts and reload them from my templates and then the charts will update on a Sunday during not trading hours. I'm assuming it can do this while the market is closed.
