This is getting very interesting! I've attached an indicator (public domain) which should be useful in playing around with different settings for 'h'. It's a fractal indicator where you can choose how many bars go to make up the fractal e.g. if you want 7 bars on either side, set the total = 15 and those on either side = 7. I have used these settings in the example on the M5 chart but this is in no way a recommendation, I haven't had time to play about with it yet to find the optimum. In the example a few things come to light. The first rectangle...

Many thanks Hepsibah,

This indicator is useful because it is possible to highlight the fractals where price has not re-touched within h-bars on both sides (i.e price was transient) - Red arrows on my chart below.

Also you can configure it to highlight bars where price was not recurrent within h bars before the bar closed but where it did return at some point within h bars after it closed. White arrows on my chart.

Please note I did not highlight those bars where price returned within 2 bars of the target bar close.

This is the heart of the matter and it works on any time frame. I will prove this to you. {image}
Do you think you could possibly send me two examples where you drew the price prediction. I would be extremely grateful...

Hi Eurusdd, Vlady and others ...

I try to understand this. Is my image right ? If price goes up through transient rectangle A, and landed at the top of Recurrent-Area, the price will goes down to A again ?

Thanks

Edit: because of transient rectangle at the left (the level is the same as the top of dark green Recurrent-Area) is very thin, it has big probability the price will go there ?

You are wrong. You do not know if that region is transient or recurrent yet because it is still forming. What you do though is wait. The moment price goes above that region, you can assume it is transient and then prices very close above it recurrent. Those prices are the ones you will expect a re-visit within at least one of the remaining h bars.

if price goes above the region before it is done forming, you can assume it is transient and the prices above it recurrent. Those prices are the ones you will expect to be re-visited, not the prices in the region.

{quote} Everything before the bold is correct. You are not guaranteed longs. What you are guaranteed are re-visits. That is what you should trade!!! If you suspect a zone to be transient and price moves to a region which will then be recurrent, you can then trade the re-visits. But don't try to buy when price hits the top of the suspect zone because the zone is still forming!!!
Eurusdd, based on hepsibahs chart and his h settings could the green and red arrows,(i.e on the open of those bars), be considered the highest probability entries???.../

which statments bellow are correct:

- once h is calculated for a currency pair and time frame is it always valid or needs to be calculated every day/week/month
- h is always the same for any currency pair for same time frame
- h is always the same for any currency pair for any time frame

Thanks Eurusdd.
Another question: Lets say the white candle is the candle on next Monday (not closing yet). The price goes through region, and the region is now transient (even the candle is not closing yet). The area above it (dark green) becomes recurrent area, right ? So, we are waiting for the price goes far enough (up or down), then we put order with target some where in recurrent area ?

Thanks

exactly but only the region above is tradeable. Let the probability be on your side.

If the forces of demand are very close, almost equal then there is a way to find the optimal value for k. That is why I trade only eurusd because demand and supply are almost equal. That is the strengths of bulls and bears are almost equal in every state of the market.

How you calculate k is up to you. That will differentiate you from another person applying the same principle. Keep that secret.

because restaurant you will visit many times soon when you start making those six figures regularly...

You need to start calculating your hitting probability.

Wow, it is difficult for me to close my eyes ... I hope this is my last question before sleep ....
I think i got it now. But, if there is only 1 region at upper, and 3 or 4 region at lower of current price. We must take each upper and lower, or ??

Thanks

No!! focus on the zone price is concerned with. the current price should guide you. The whole thing is simply. This and the DNA are the two tools one needs to develop revolution! I gave you people just the idea. You can modify it the way you want. But there are even more powerful things. That i keep for heaven. Nice weekend.

Hi to all,
Eurusdd,
I'm a little sick, but I am following the thread.
The main idea is the search for recurring areas. Maybe that's your "omega".
If the candle is inserted into recurring area have high probability.
The numbers are very powerful jajajj.
I kinda liken it to the convergence of a series. There comes a time when the transition probabilities are very small and then assume recurrence.
I now will read more carefully, your assumptions.
Thank you very much.

hello all, am i right in assuming that Proposition 1 http://www.forexfactory.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=1491112&d=1408196176
is only valid for markets that tends to moves in ranges? and that transient prices are harder to find in higher TFs?
