{quote} When you have a 90+% profitable trade (based on the system settings), you have the advantage of playing with your R:R. I can chose to have an RR of 8:1 and still be profitable. However, if you are actively trading and experience enough to know how price behaves at certain points, you don't even need a SL. So yes let the price come to you (but wisely)
I can see setting up a probability to reverse or continue a known break, i.e. left-side formed - by varying the right side as time marches on and/or looking into the future, since the probability exhibits logarithmic decay. However, this is essentially using TZ's as resistance, and EURUSDD warned against this. The premise, knowing the probability of a TZ being cleared in x,y,z time, means one may trade towards or away from the zone. How to go from this to calling a specific target that is not itself a TZ, with accurate probability based on 1 chart, 1 tf, and only TZ's, I can't yet see. I don't believe that a target would be based on the calculated time risk * some RR, since this would make the target arbitrary, and therefore impossible to calculate odds of hitting (without other data). I'm not used to "not getting it" and this, while motivational and likely character-building, is excruciating!

Hi, {image} Not sure if this will help some people or not; however, I am hoping at the very least it sparks discussion so that we are clear on what the TZ's actual mean and how to spot them etc. My chart could be way off along with my calculations so happy for feedback. If you look at the image I have drawn either a black line, or if more than one pip movement drawn a black box. This line or box is only drawn at areas of price where the prior six bars or post six bars are not touched by another bar. This is how I am interpreting H. There is a mid-bar...
Thank you....

Not sure if this helps ,but for those scalping using variations of this methodology,ive established that there is a constant that can be used,that constant is that price returns within 10 to 30 pips distance is 66 % ,with less than 1% deviation from that.

Thank you for the information.

For the thick headed, can you show that on a labeled chart?

Consider the M1 price action +5,-2.5, +5, -2.5... repeat. On M1, this would show as having 1 TZ of 2.5 pts at the top. On M15, this would show as a continuous TZ of 22.5 pts. Seems to say that each tf must be clean independently of the other tf's.

Nice to see you dice. If it is possible, a chart can explain all of that

Lol, this pretty much summarizes my whole experience with trading. But to your point, we really have no idea how EURUSDD comes up with his predictions. I imagine it's more than 1 chart, 1 tf and only TZ's. For instance, he premised the discussion on TZ's by saying it was the first of 7 steps to making price our biatch... or, something like that.

I've been racking my brain to find the magic in one TF and 1 chart and TZ's only, but am starting to wonder if more must be incorporated to unlock full potential.

You are right mate. My SL was hit. some orders were profit, so it is still ok. Order made during FOMC are a "gambling" one, not based on TRZ or other indicators

@house,
Is this the end of USD strength ??

I was referring to FXJay and a few others who are able to do it as I had described. Granted, they aren't doing it with the precision of EURUSDD, as they hold much more than 10 pts DD on some trades, but it would be nice to see what they see as a starting point.

If one were to map a river of price based on TZ probabilities over time, or DS zones over time, etc., we run into the same issues. In a trending market, all of the probabilities that hadn't decayed to lim~0 would be against price action. There must be something that many of us aren't seeing.

There is a zone around 2765. At TF H4, it is not yet COBB, but @H1 we can see COBB. May be it will go down a little, before reach 2765.
