{quote} For M5 settings was Stoch 100 and BB 8
Is this the new optimal setting, for 5M?

{quote} Thanks for the figures Bull.bear. My head is spinning with all the charts/numbers as I have only followed this thread since Sunday and I am not a mathematician. Its a steep learning curve. Anyway I've had a go at a one minute template based on the newest indicators (thanks folks) and your values. Does it look at all sensible? {image}
Interesting chart.... here's a question.... if Dissimilarity starts and ends... why does one of the pink dots coincide with a Similarity and ZZ Top?

Check the top CI and the bottom CI... when they're both the same, ZZ tops or bottoms.
The zones... happen in between!!!! Wait a minute... isn't this what Eurusdd has been saying all along....??!?

Daily R2 broken and I will place another short. Anyone have a confirmed SM (Similarity) yet - or in other words, the END of Dissimilarity (DS)?
Not yet, at least on my charts it's still in dissim zone.

yes, in M5 900 and bb same
stoch is now price (in oscillator), i can`t find dissimilarities with stoch and price, they are same, so stoch is price and shows oversold and overbought areas, and USDCHF should show mirror image

Taypot I think you should put a Bollinger Band on yours. It's just I don't know what the setting would be for 1M chart....
Math guys? 300 stoch and 24 BB for the 15M timeframe... what's 1M?

you can`t get stoch 4500 in M1 chart, don`t see nothing`, bb always same

I meant for BB to be put on price. Since price = stoch... would price be in certain places on the BB as you are also observing on the USDCHF chart?

you can try different settings, but looks like that 24-2 for bb works everywhere

Hi Vlady, There is a bolly... Its like Bull.bear said ...360 for period (i've left shift at 0 and deviations at 2). I havent put a stoch yet as tending to use the lower indicator instead.

zz at 360 too

Also... in another thread which I will review later this afternoon... Eurusdd says that ZZ can also be derived from stochs... ie. Price.
Can't remember the maths... but as I'm piecing this together, in essence, you have everything you need on a chart to determine:

a) The start and end points of a cycle (Top to Bottom, Bottom to Top)
b) The function to identify zones or nodes of obstacles for price to run through in the future.

Can someone enlighten me on the move up? Was there a zone or just a case of dissimilarity running its course till it ends?
I want more brain power!

I don't understand, you will determine OS/OB area, what you will get from that ??? Divergence or what principle you want to use ???

Yes.

Also, the top of the zone coincided with ZZ forming a new top/swing high. It wasn't exact.... but Taypot's chart with CI has an interesting bit of info which I commented on above. If ZZ works consistently.... then you don't need a CI indicator.

Hold for Core CPI m/m in 8 minutes. I guess all anomalies will get corrected or addressed after that.

I have tried it, had to hold -400 pips for a week, until I closed it +100. I have seen runners from10-30 days, and drop to -700.

Cooo. Maybe I am getting somewhere! I have put a stoch on with settings 360 as 4500 didnt work. (Advice please!) Interesting to see that the pink dis areas start when stoch is at the top.
