{quote} Agree, however something fishy is in the air... are we ready to clear zones far away down?
It would certainly make more sense to me if we head down. If UP then I will start to lose confidence in these zones and prices attraction to them. This is no disrespect to Eurusdd as I totally believe in him. But I can only trade what I see and understand.

{quote} That's right. I forgot that. Is there some rule I have missed about that? Like if price closes the unborn zone before x candles have closed in dis-sim, it should be considered as "dead"? I still get a feeling that that zone acts as support right now.

Here you go...

​But this will not ALWAYS be the case because the indicator we are using is not the "best". There are cases whereyour claim will fail: However, what most of you have FAILED to learnr is this: The orIginal principle states that price MUST return to the level where the dis-similarity was FIRST DETECTED. So, even if price returns there and the zone has not yet appeared (according to Ralome's indicator), the CONDITION IS DONE!!!!! GET THIS RIGHT!!!!

I agree tight range. I will hold my short. If it breaks to the upside then if necessary I will use the Recovery method to bring it back to Break even at least.

Short 3199 and 3187
Closed short 3199 (auto) for 40 pip equivalent. One still open. Just got into work, not even seen a chart yet but in green.
At home, my MT4 15M formed a ZZTop then a ZZ Bottom (318X) and I knew outside Bollinger had to be a 200+.... Got filled in at 199 even though I pressed the button at 3203. That's trading

I am keeping a list of key posts for reference purposes. I am missing one that just came to mind. Does anyone know offhand the post # that describes adjusting the indicators for different timeframes?

40 pip or 4 pip = 40 pipettes?

40 pips @ £1 per pip

P.S. No I've not used the CI as I couldn't get my head around the settings. I need MadMoney and some others to give me a tutorial on that and trade setup. I've even read the manual prepared by someone and I still couldn't wrap it around my head like I did with BBZZ. But I want to... simple reason:
They are both the same principles

hmmm. I don't recall which post that is. But you could try looking through the pdf that I put together of all Eurusdd's posts about the BB-STOCH method. It will be a lot less to go through than this thread.

Not much news today, so I am anticipating a low volatility day. Can't be greedy, booking profits as they present themselves and looking at both 15m and 5m for entry opportunities.

The Trap of Probability

DAD: Son, if you toss a fair coin the probability that you will get 5/10 tails is 0.5.
SON: Cool dad!!!

------

Later that day: The boy bought a new fair-coin and a new gun!!!
BOY: I am going to test my daddy's theory.
I will toss this coin 20 times and If I do not get even a single head -I will kill myself!

Later later that evening: He got 20 tails!!!
HE KILLED HIMSELF!!!

Using 15M and value 8 for the CI. Tolerable stability but I think it can be better tuned. Being taught how to read the indictor properly helped mitigate mistakes tremendously. 1st top took in +15 on short. Second top short is going strong Own analysis concurs with short bias good indication I've learnt stuff


Edit : Gah!! Wanted to set a trailing stop ending closing the thing +25 still
I want more brain power!

Seems like it is going to test the DP(also Eurusdd's 1.31816) again, if it breaks it should go down to at least S1(also Eurusdd first target 1.3140)

Closed my short for now. Price seems to be ranging. Will look for another opportunity to go short.


EDIT: Watch it go south now....LOL
