{quote} Yes, we will always be limited in our trading when it comes to the similarity system, I think. Eurusdd has made clear that he will not share all the tools needed to be able to do what he does. So I think we have to use the tools provided from him, with our own strategies, and make the best of it. I don't see how we will be able to do something like spotting that 1.3204 level of "technical problem" that price had to correct? Or will we?
Hi spufuz,

There was a mismatch between the 24 stoch and 24 semafor at 1.32064 at 10.15 (chart time yesterday morning) i.e. the stoch reached 100 but no semafor high was printed. This is one of the charts I posted before the rise (but my posts get moderated and so don't appear until everyone has moved on LOL).

{quote} I posted the following yesterday, post 4217 I think, eurusd was around 1.3197 and I wanted to short but could see a zone above on the 4hr which stopped me (top 1.33037) and I did try to ask what people thought. The system was giving me this info so it does work. Don't lose confidence just yet as Eurusdd has proved a very good teacher but there is always a 3% chance things don't work out and the 4 hr (with 15 min settings) can be 8% out. 1.3187 is around the mid BB spot in the hourly and as a result I had thought of it for a short order BUT...
You did some great work last night dude.

I tried a few settings on the higher TF. I am going to say something contradictory: changing the Stoch values to match the TF allows the stoch to be more visible... but if you keep the R1 or R2 setting to 300 : 24 then the zone calc is based on that setting for all timeframes. 2 different things.

{quote} 15M, Sem really doesnt repaint, the dots once painted remain, the outer ring in yellow may move. It is not of concern to us, we scalp as soon as a dot appears after the dZ starts. This is one trade per zone kind of trading.
its really good
but ds appear almost once every day
do you think you just want to scalp once a day?

I would say that its no question its working for Eurusdd.
What we other is trying to do, is learning what we can from it an adapting it to our own trading.

Chart : Head north to Kanas City Me : So imma just gonna drive north is that it? Chart : Hell no man! I ain't your momma dude! Go figure! Me : Yo ZZ! Chart says we be headed north to Kansas. You er know the route there ZZ : You kidding me dude? Hell....I'm like a living GP and S brother! Me : You da man! ZZ : Turn left on 6 Me : Gotcha. ZZ : Exit 79 ME : Aight ZZ : Aw man roads closed. Turn back around on 7 ...

Thats interesting, thanks Vlady, will try tonight when I have chance. Good luck all today, I think maybe' luck' can be defined as 'dodging the 3%' and next time EURusdd says he's scared tighten the stops.

Repeating this: Dump the BB, ZZ and the zone markers. Note when the dissimilarity starts, trade the semaphore dot which appears AFTER the beginning of diss. {image}

This looks great. Straightforward. Which version of the indi are you using? And did you modify any major settings?

Thanks

Try this (shiva forgot the .mq4)!
Compile and copy paste to indicators after compiling. (don't ask why, just seems to work better for me)

Shiva I actually think R-V2 could be good to use on a chart side to side with your template!
The R-V2 line gives good hints of entry-point witch could be used also!
