Personally it's not that bad for me - quite normal actually, to scale in. Shorts at 11, 21, 45. Could add another one at 35, R3 just for fun.

{quote} Just when I have made a nice EA based on the CI method you come up with this amazing work. I may have to put CI EA on hold and work with this. I was seeing very good backtest results with CI though. I may still start forward test tomorrow while working with new indicator. Here are some backtest results. {image} {image}


Hello, splendid results and good work, it's a shame that you leave this EA, you could? share to try to evolve it.


Thanks and sorry for my boldness

I've been wondering about the value of stoch for 1 min as it cant be 4500 which relates to the 300 for the 15min so I've tried changing it to 900, 5min 180 and 15 min 60. BB and zz values as Bull.bear suggested. Value Labels shown on chart. Thoughts please, ....

Have you tried to increase num of bars limit which is currently 1000 by default? For 1m chart it should be larger than 4500.

For 1m, it can't be set more than four digits for stoch indicator because it is restricted by metaeditor. I m not sure if the stochdiff can be set, because the indicator is user defined. Of course the bar limit must be more than 4500, if not how it is going to calculate.

On my computer it's impossible to use it on 1m cause it makes freeze my MT4 terminal.

Agree. It is normal. That why I don't use 1m. CPU took too long for the calculation.

I think maybe need to re-code the indicator. Maybe there are too many looping cycle inside the coding, I m not sure now because I have no time to check.

Looks like the Dollar news affected sentiment worse than I thought. However it's daily trend remains intact and is in sync with the weekly, suggesting higher prices and conversely... should mean lower prices for EU in the longer Daily/Weekly term.

However for today, both EJ and UJ scaled lower to a range between the last 2 trading day's pivot points. Seems like a positioning move rather than a change in hourly trend. UJ's high on the 15 July is still intact and the low of 9888 isn't in danger. If anything, a recent swing low of 9907 (previous day's S1) could be a swing point for the current hourly down move.

All this is influencing EU but this slow rise towards 1.3200 is starting to form the traditional cup and handle which requires one last drop to 1.306X to gain momentum for 1.33XX. I will hold my shorts until the end of NY session and will close any losses only at that time if price hasn't yet gone lower than 35.

Zoom out on M15, i call that the Crone pattern. Maybe some kind of head and shoulders

The dissimilarity zone is two days wide. Waiting and waiting for similarity takes place...

I believe i will not win the $3000. Eurusdd is a show man sometimes !

Eurusdd told to us in the beginning that we need to setup our charts / indies so that 97% of the time they show similarity. If they don't, then the initial setup is not correct / optimal for the TF.
Now if I increase the # of bars in the indie and scroll back on my charts, I rather see something like 50% dissim / sim ratio. Which seems to be off, wouldn't you think so? Or is the 97/3% guidance not valid for our current single TF stoch setup? Or am I making another mistake somewhere?

For me the current dissimilarity started almost 2 full days ago. Is it the same for everyone?

Pls. forgive me for keeping asking, but I thought I got the concept and also made some promising trades, but now I feel I still miss something...

Yes it is the same...I also asked this question already, because dissim should not be more than 3 %
