{quote} I am not scaring you. EURUSD will only go back to that top from a level below 1.3341.
Oh ok... i get what you're saying now.
Sorry... Monday... slow.

a serious buy should be considered after eurusd drops and closes below 1.3341.
I see how you are sequencing this now... I had the same idea but I went in too early.

{quote} So even if it passed BB earlier then moved top we do not see it true one since it is not connected directly with BB touch/cross, right?
Sorry dude, I'm not getting what you mean.

ZZ Swings always have PRICE/Stoch outside BB.
With my added 2nd Stoch, if STOCH2 is 0 or 100 then that extreme is a signal that it's overbought or oversold for that timeframe or move.

If price/stoch1 are outside BB AND stoch2 is at extreme, then I have confidence that is a legitimate ZZ.
If semafor and ZigZag confirm that also, then I have 4 indicators giving me the next sequence and general direction.

If I go to other timeframes and they all say...

Bottom 5M, Bottom 15M, Bottom1H, Bottom 4H.... then I am looking for a major top and a place to long
Bottom 5M, Bottom 15M, Bottom 1H, Top 4H then I'm still looking for a top but there has to be a bottom on the 4H so longer term has to go lower
Bottom 5M, Bottom 15M, Top 1H, Top 4H then I'm looking for lower on both 1H and 4H and the minutes are just going through corrective swings
Bottom 5M, Top 15M, Top 1H, Top 4H then this is a countertrend long and I should be on the lookout mainly for shorts.
Top 5M, Top 15M, Top 1H, Top 4H then I should be looking for shorts

It's just sequencing and overlaps... prioritise higher timeframes over lower, previous confirmed swings over minor swings.

Vlady, I was talking about a couple of candles before ZZTop. There was condition for price and stoch met, both touched or even passed bb. However confirmation with second stoch may give different view I see that now.

Okay Chappies Just had a look, still flat but the 1H is the barometer for the day. The 4H is still there for the week, ie. Need to see a legitimate ZZT (see that post from the past) The black hole has not been neutralised. Eurusdd is saying mini up... I want it to go to 340X at the very least before I consider shorts. {image}
Ok, if it's on the 1H... the candles before ZZT that were outside BB should have been the top but it wasn't.
It was COBB and even the Stoch2 was at extreme... but then the market spiked. It's unresolved at 1.3379 and needs to be corrected.

Thanks Vlady, please confirm settings of 2nd stoch.
It's in the Practical Approach thread:

Quoting vlady1974
{quote} I think the settings have to align to the timeframe. The Minutes should be set to BB of 60 ie. 60 minutes and then you can experiment with multiples of the 1M, 5M, 15M etc. ie. 60/1 or 60/5 or 60/15... then further divide into 2 or 4..... or multiply by 2 etc. The Hours should be set to BB of 24 for 24 hours... etc. 5M is set to 48, BB of 60. 15M is set to 12, BB of 60. {image} {image}

Basically, I try and make it look nice and readable. Minutes use 60 for the BB and then I do a MurreyMath/Binary type division until the stoch is clear. By that I mean if the Stoch goes too flat at the extreme, then you basically can't tell when the price will turn. ATM, my 5M is set to 48, 60 and the 15M is set to 16, 60

Any buy must occur below 1.3341. Now eurusd is below 1.3341 but the down is still not complete yet.

Ok since there is a zone on top to be clear and I can't pick my extremes that well yet i should play it safe and put a buy order just above that level and target the zone above.
I want more brain power!

I've had 1.33337 for a while now. So I'm buying around there.

Me think a proper fall is developing. eurusd will consider that top again from a number below 1.3335
