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...
You are doing fine. The small green zone on the left is the one to look at in the short-term!

Thanks for raising this...
It would seem that the last zone to be created just below the current price does not meet either of these criteria. So is it a valid zone?

Would like to hear other thoughts....

The only problem I have with price comes from the STOC-BB-ZZ method. There is a problem at 1.31583. There is >97% chance that the problem will be corrected. So without any reason price can just push there, correct it and jump down again!
Eurusdd, can you share a little bit more ?

How can you know this is a "technical problem" ?

Thanks.

Thank you for confirming EURUSDD, I thought I had misunderstood you as no one else is doing this, so this is good.

Studying the charts I have just had a Eureka moment which makes me think The higher figure with the technical problem may be revisited before a fall as there is no new dis zone starting up there on the second chart but i need to think some more, just wanted to reply to you.

hmm, I do not have two different zones on both charts, only the green one appears on both charts at the same time.

don't worry. We do not have to see the same thing. What you broker gives you is ok!

OK but based on below.

1. Both zones started at the same time. So this is not valid.
2. The zones appeared at different times and no zones have been taken out. So this is not valid.

Am I missing something?


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.

Gents, I also spent some time with Excel and math, studying what we are exactly looking at.
I tend to believe, based on my investigations, that the ONLY thing that can cause dissimilarity is a change in the lowest/highest price for the last 300 bars. In other words, the dissimilarity we see today reflects changes from 300 bars back.
Whatever price does at the point of dissimilarity is simply irrelevant.

I'm currently doing simulations in Excel / Matlab to prove it, and I'm yet to find a way to cause dissimilarity by changing current price.

EDIT: one exception of course -> if current price is the one changing the lowest low / highest high of the last 300 bars.

That is the problem with your guys!!!
Did you read the part that said :"I did not GIVE Ralome the formula to IDENTIFY true dis-similarity bars" and " Ralome's indicator identifies only 60% of true dis-similarity bars". It is the best indicator(closest thing) we have that comes close to what MY TEAM USES( I am not going to share that with you though).!!!

Your proof will be irrelevant!!! Don't waste your time!

Yes, I think that was the 'very good target you mention.

But do you mean

Closed short at 1.3114 on ZZ leg completion. +21

I will try to find it to clear up the confusion, I think a couple of others were thinking along the same lines as me too. And don't take it as a criticism (incase you did) as it is not, I'm just confused.

I'm also Up 20 pips on a short too hahahah, which, confusion aside, I seem to be winning quite consistently with this stuff.

I understand. I said this move - up spin - is to correct a technical problem and so it will not make sense!!! I love objective criticisms. We are learning!

I see...I do not have that on my charts with Alpari or FxPro.

The zone below that at 1.3101 was what I was referring too. Is this one valid?
