{quote} Hi We just changed to iphones and I now have working very well MT4 and Trade Interceptor on the phones. both are better in places but MT4 nicer updates it seems, but less indicators BUT Trade interceptor has a cool multi chart display option which is great for MTF on the move works on ipad also
Yes, I love TradeInterceptor. Just useless for this thread with all the modifications. The iPad MT4 is also useless as I dont know or can't find a way to import custom indicators. I have Interceptor on my Android phone as well.

Over the last days I spot some intersting things and I hope I can explain what I found in simple words (hope you can see my picture it is the first time I try to upload one) {image} - for me there are 2 kind of zones. Both are produces by price when the candle close is outside the BB. - the first zones are sim-zones that means Stoch is outside BB too (grey box) - the second ones are dissim zones that means Stoch is not outside BB (blue box) - for me zones (both) must be cleared from that direction from where they result. for example we have a close...
This might be usable to further validate a ZZ leg
I want more brain power!

The MT4 app for my android phone would be great if I could use custom indicators, like the ZZ or such.

Yep I agree limited for this thread, it is good as the fallback if internet goes down and in a trade or have to go out but also the hotspot tethering is good with a connected small laptop/tablet/notepad laden with indicators which avoids all corporate firewalls restrictions and breaks free from landline dependance.

Its part of my risk management in case of internet and power outages, we live in UK countryside and are on the edge of reliable services..

BBZZ "Method" Notes... can anyone add further?

Terms

  1. Bollinger Band = BB
  2. Bollinger Band Middle Line = BBMID
  3. ZigZag Indicator = ZZ
  4. ZZTOP = Recent Swing High on the ZZ
  5. ZZBOT = Recent Swing Low on the ZZ
  6. Closed Outside Bollinger Band (COBB)

Method

  1. PRICE & STOCH must be COBB to be a proper ZZTOP

    1. Best confirmation is Price CLOSE to cross the BBMID on the opposite side.... but watch out for fake/reversals on the next bar
    2. Slow confirmation is ZZBOT

  2. If combined with Semafor + StochDiff (any version)

    1. If DS Starts and ZZTOP Prints, can take that as a short signal and exit on the next semafor opposite dot.
    2. Can Short and scalp the BBMID.

Notes

  1. PRICE can still create a top or be higher than the previous ZZTOP, but have STOCH inside BB.... this high can then lead to a next low
  2. PRICE spikes over the BB (no close), that candle could be used to start to clear a zone (thanks MattKirby)
  3. If Price forms a ZZTOP but does not close over the BBMID, trend to continue
  4. Make sure you check the higher timeframe as a reversal could just be a retrace.

{quote} There probably is if there is (most likely) as my remote is for Apple. What I really want is a Web Based remote site/app (that's free for one connection)
Teamviewer.com has a free app (for private use) for desktop/android/apple/linux, etc. Web based access as well. I use it daily.

Shiva says it's a short squeeze. Could be.
No C.O.B.B. Close Outside BB and it's crossed BBMID...

Orderflow in play

I see dissimilarity of correlation, USDCHF up, GBP USD up, AUD USD dropping, USDYEN shooting, only EUROUSD was sulking away from the group And now she has to be similar or else!

{quote} yes you are right.it is repaints.
All zig zags repaint.... you probably want one were the history is kept.

Zig Zag is nothing but +1 or -1 or +1 or 0. Price can go higher it is still +1. It can go lower still it is still -1, only when it changes trend and exceeds conditions then it goes to +1.. nothing in between.

Edit:
therefore a swing hi to swing low is nothing but: +1 -1 +1 -1 +1 -1

Absolutely - basically it's a fractal calculation so if it is to be true to the real definition it needs five candles to mark the high point which it can't know for sure until until 5th candle is completed.
