{quote} I dont have your top zone. 15M tf still, original settings.
If you're using v1_80 of the indie, make sure to set the zone_lifetime_in_days parameter to higher, if you wish to see it.
By default it is set to 14, which matches what Eurusdd said about zone lifecycles: "everything beyond two weeks should be considered dead"

Lessons learnt yesterday.... As for direction today. Here is a very important post: {quote}
LOL I was just reading that.

To me this tells me that the zone above, on vspatrick's chart is NOT an alive zone to be taken out. Therefore the active zone is below price - which is what he was alluding to last night.

BTW... price still outside Lower BB and re-painting ZZ Low.
I would definitely want this to make a Lower High below yesterday's high.... actually, scrap that. Any ZZ TOP during similarity could trigger the short that will cancel the lower zone.

Hi xixi, Thanks for your great indicator and for looking at the problem I am having. I tried again but this is what I get, .... (I am with FXCM)

Yes, I don't want to see it - as it has confused me before. I'd prefer not to have a zone that will attract a trade

That example was given by EurUsdd and that top zone was more than 15 days.... (ok just by few days).

The way I understand is any zone within 15 days has better chance to be the next target.
the market is not random but anything can happen.

If Price goes down too fast it could start another dissimilarity zone.

Here are some important posts regarding trend:

Quoting Eurusdd
IMPORTANT: The charts MUST always agree before a new trend (minor/major) begins. Therefore, if they do not agree after a certain time, the trend is expected to continue!!!

Quoting Eurusdd
Remember, there can never be a change in TREND without similarity!!! That is the reason for this fallllllllllllllll!!!!!!!! We needed similarity, check post #47 and #54. Take care everyone! Try and master this and you will never have to second-guess.... You don't even need to folow fundamentals. Everything is already discounted and reflected in the windows you see!

{quote} THANK YOU!!! YOU GOT IT!!!! You summarized it nicely!!!!! yOU NEED TO WATCH YOUR CHART TO SPOT IT!!! ONCE YOU DO, MARK THAT PRICE AND target it. As long as you have not seen a difference, have faith that the current trend will generally continue!!!

I have been drawing zones manually, the indicator for me, is not always producing the same boxes as some of you guys have. I'm aiming for the box down at 1.3067 area.

I guess you haven't loaded enough M1 bars on your chart.
Just open M1 chart and press 'Home' about 100 times or so then try again.
Also, note that your stoch_period is not correct (should be 4500).

This is my chart with FXCM:

would have to determine the point at which the graph changes trend to 1.30687. that's the difference between eurusdd, who knows the exact moment that point. I think the price will fall to this point for the correction of the anterior and the creation of new dis-similarities

That's exactly what we'd all like to learn, but this knowledge is apparently not coming easy...

I personally think that using fractal analysis to determine more precisely that point. We will have to read a bit more about that topic, and I think that is what really makes this system good

I do have two different zones on the 15M and 5M chart
15M = 1.3036 to 1.3030
5M = 1.3077 to 1.3072

15M I use the original seetings and for M5 I use 900 stoch and 72 BB
