{quote} If it does continue up and take out this zone my question was where would it go next. There are no zones above this big zone so in my mind it has to return back down anyway. Unless it just keeps on creating zones above and allows the zones below to expire!
No.the zone was born and it is now below us. We are going down.

Guys I have a question. Didn't Eurusdd say that there is a very high probability that while we are in similarity price will not leave the range that was created while we were previously in dis-similarity. Which is 1.3065 to 1.3119. But we are above that?

Yeah I noted that too. He did say that there was a 95% chance it would stay within so I assumed that this is one of the exceptions. Maybe down to that technical fault he pointed out at 1.3158?

What is more likely:

a, a zone needs to be taken out
b, a zone acts as resitance/support

About those two opportunities we have talked in this thread, how do we know which one is the best solution?
I think, if we will understand this, we know what direction we have to choose.

I don't understand what you mean by "know what direction to choose". As i read the current state, we have an open DZ below, and we just went into a state of Sym. That means take a short trade. My plan is to take larger size when the trade is in the direction of the prevailing trend. Smaller trades if the direction is against the prevailing trend or, as in this case, the current trend is sideways. I do not use hedging. If a trade does not work out, that is ok, time to wait for the next set up. Good trades to me are those that I follow the system, not taking trades before the setup is complete etc. If the system has an edge, you follow the rules, and use good MM techniques, the account will build over time.

My position sizing strategy will develop as i grow more familiar with the strategy. My early thoughts are risk 2% on trades with the trend, and 1% for others.

We are referring to this...

On my chart, start of dis-similarity is Green bar and end of dis-similarity is Red bar! Within that region mark the high and the low. Now after dis-similarity ends, there will usually be a little gap before dis-similarity begins again!!! On the 15min eurusd chart, there is 95%+ chance that during the wait, the 1EMA will not break the high/low of the previous area. On my charts, I marked those wait-areas with a blue rectangle!!! {image}

There should be a comma between the words similarity and price. I didn't mean it as a term.

And since it broke that level it has rejected that zone for now maybe?
Another sign to me that we are heading up to correct the zone above.
Looks like we might get a new ZZ leg confirmed at the lower BB band!
I get strong dis-similarity between brokers here! GFT at middle BB band and OANDA at lower??!

This case is due to the technical-problem at 1.31583. The move eurusd made was to correct a technical problem at 1.31583. Such moves make no sense from the fundamentalist's point of view! It was a technical one!

Has the technical problem been resolved now?

Morning All,

Great to see my long closed at 13149 while I was asleep!!!! Thanks EURUSDD. My homework paid off.

I am still comparing charts as EURUSDD suggested. No one is talking about this so I keep bringing it up until you all tell me its not valid.

here are his words from yesterday am....

If you want to use them, you will have to open two 15min charts side by side and install the indicators; one indicator to a chart.
The rule is very simple:

1: When one indicator shows start of dis-similarity and the other doesn't, the zone that will be created is a very good target.
2: When both charts show dis-similarity bars at the same time, the zones do not appear at the same time AND one zone is taken out before the other one appears on the other chart, then that zone is a very good target.

and here is my current chart comparison....please comment (the royal blue rectangle is one I marked as unborn zone)

Well, even if we correct the zone above or not, we should probably expect price to come down soon since we have zones below?
Also, H1 timeframe shows a new zone will be born between 1.3101 and 1.3070.
The zone around 1.3029 is not showing up at GFT broker, only at OANDA and SHOULD be a good one!

Ok, so we should not expect the zone prize is in now to be closed?
