Glad you like it and appreciate the thanks.

I'm working on better "developing zone" code logic - It's actually pretty complex tracking them real-time, but I'll hopefully get it 100% sorted soon.

Hope it's proving useful making your trading decisions.

I'm actually going through all the TZ posts again to try and work out my trading strategy around using them as I've not yet fully grasped the approach to how to best use them at the moment. But will persist ...

I personally like the comment during this afternoon regarding ephisi's approach (scalping?)
It was diametrically opposite to what I was doing and I instantly realised that had I been able to view it that way, I would have salvaged my -30 pips today.

In many ways, we're converging because it is to do with the Developing Zone.
Perhaps I can PM you some details as I am also working with Burnsss on refining the K value ;-) (I know you'd be interested in that).

{quote} Just thinking out loud here so bear with me. The probability of a transient zone being a long term turning point is very low and the smaller h is, the lower this probability becomes. In other words, the probability of a transient zone with a low h (provided it is not within a TZ with a much larger h) being subsequently taken out is high. So instead of looking for the optimum h for long term turning points (low probability), why not assume that short term TZ's with small h are going to be taken out (high probability). If this holds up, I...

"I belong to a small trading group of five persons. We have been analyzing the forex market :EURUSD: for a while now and each person has a probability of success p (o<p<1) obtained from averaging his past calls.
So, if X says eurusd will rise to 1.23 within the next 3 hrs and his current probability of success is 45%, the group will identify his call with that number.
The more correct calls he makes, the higher p will be. In that way, he is motivated to make better calls and the group advances ....
We are not really interested in how he came about his decision, our group position is based on his p.

If I make 100 calls here and 90 of them are right and you place 10 pips stop loss each time and follow the simple rule above, you will benefit from my presence here more. But if I just give you an indicator and vanish, ." - EURUSDD

I still have this template on the 1H. It is for my ZigZag Bollinger method developed last year from the notes on this thread.
This is why I am very bearish - price is under 300EMA.

Now despite today's price action, let's humour the target of 3387. To achieve that from where we are, the only classical formation I know of that could take us there is a double bottom. Given we are at new lows for 1 year at least, the classic method is to measure the middle leg of the W shape of a double bottom and multiply by 2.
3387 Target - 3254 Low = 133 pips. 133/2 = 66.5 pips which is the projected middle leg giving 3254 + 66.5 = 3320.5 Which is 4 pips away from the last swing high before the plunge (that was yesterday... Josh's projection of 3322).

For it to continue down (which I speculate) it has to be a convincing Bull Trap. The 300EMA is my ultimate marker for this. If the Eurusdd's projection holds, then if 3387 is reached, it must be a challenge to 300EMA. If it pierces, then it could be a setup for a test/fail and we plunge into the depths of Hades. If not, we could have a new change in trend - or countertrend Wave 4 as some ElliotWave analysts have been debating.

The current ZigZag shows that the bottom is a significant one, the last swing was the top 342X.

And just to round out what's lying north of current price, there are 3 Dissimilarity Zones above that would be price targets only if price came from the bottom.

There may still be a further down to below 1.32531. Trade the breaks of zones in both directions.

1.3229 It cannot get a strong close above 1.3266 within 3 hours, look for Asia to drop.

Hello Mex2000,

your setup looks quite nice, would you mind sharing the EXACT indicators and maybe a template ?

That would be great ...

Thanks a lot !

Hmm ... i don't think it is a good idea .... learning process must be filled with practice, we must try to look for the best for us. The great concept is given, we just need to apply it using our own indicators.

Thanks samaralala,
This post is a good REMINDER .... thanks. Oh yes, i remember of it until now. And i will try to more CAREFUL in putting an order now, and try do Not too Active in buying/selling a pair, if it is not really needed. We do not know when Market will act against us, so a stop loss is needed - yes i am agree with this.
In my opinion, if we are just following a call without good money management, this is dangerous. My max loss is 2.5% - 3% (may be this is bigger than normally trader use, 2%) , but so far so good. I have followed Eurusdd's calls so many times, and probability of win is big. And i think with good money management, my account should be ok.

One question:
Some of us choose hedging instead of stop loss. Do you know which one is better ?
We can wait for good opportunity to close the hedging+original orders, and end with a win. But if we hold it too long, we must pay for swap Any idea?

NEXT MAJOR SUPPORT FOR TARGET ON SHORTS 1.3095. ENJOY.

Observation, When you catch a trend you will be more profitable letting your profits run. reserve scalping for when you observe a tight range. alternatively you can exit short at pivot and reentershot on retracement. add shorts at every opportunity and you will be more profitable. im gone back to my swing trades for now, in and out in and out. minimum of 10pips profit.

im short at 1.32551 letting profits run until i spot reversal. will add more shorts on retracements. not smart to be scalping in a trend when you can let profits run. i will scalp when range starts. thanks to eurusdds strategy i have refined my swing trade and daytrade entries entries to the pip. @eurusdd

happy trading
