I coded RevealWormhole for 4 different timeframe pairs: 1 minute and 5 minutes, 5 minute and 15 minutes, 15 minutes and 30 minutes, 30 minutes and 1 hour. You can control the K period values with external settings. The defaults are not necessarily the best so you can easily change them per your discretion. I'll post the EA source code later.

Hey Saver0, Do you mean youre working with dynamic h values (i.e. different h values on the same time frame depending on price action) or its just the way you calculate probabilities thats different? Because its not quite clear how the zone you highlighted here (www.forexfactory.com/showthread.php?p=7829615#post7829615) would not be an h-recurrent one. I think this is what kprsa was trying to say.

Kind Regards.

Let me try to answer your question with another question.

For the price at current bar at this moment to be recurrent or transient, doesn't matter, what conditional shall H bars ago must satisfy?
When you answer that question correctly, you will understand what I was saying.

In my example, I demonstrated a zone or price level(s) in blue that is not Recurrent or Transient with a H setting of 80 (80 is the width of the zone in bars).

Green pips everybody!

Thanks for replying Saver. Pardon me, the question at *1 isnt clear to me.

The statement at *2 might be contentious for this reason: the price at a current moment temporarily qualifies as Transient if it has not been printed on the chart within the last H bars into the past, and is confirmed as Transient if it is not printed on the chart in the next future H bars. Isnt this what you understand by EURUSDD's proposition? I think all the prices in the zone you highlighted are printed at least once again on the chart within 80 bars into the past or 80 bars into the future from each price in that zone? (which, I'd suppose, would make them all '80-recurrent')

I will just reply with this again:
EURUSDD:
"Now if you get the h right for a given time frame and at the current price p, the previous bars never hit p, then probability is on your side for a hit
within the next h bars because the probability that p is h-transient is very low.
If your h is right, this probability should be about 3%. That is 97% of the time, at least one of the next h bars should hit p.
This works in theory and in practice for any stochastic process similar to the ones that govern currency prices!!!"

I can't do better than this other than to just give the answer to everybody out in the open.

Anyone attempting to trade into potential transient zones without a solid framework should become familiar with the zigzag indicator, because that would basically be what you would be doing. Try this, attach the zigzag indicator and let its period = h. Then compare where the zigzag draws its legs to where the confirmed zones are. In theory, the zigzag will start a new leg whenever a new potential zone appears, and repaint whenever it is cleared to a lower low/higher high.

Hello everyone,

There seems to be a lot of debate and confusion about probabilities at the moment, both on this thread and vlady's thread. I admit that I don't have much background in this subject, and by the looks of it I'm not the only one. I think it would be really helpful to us all if someone who has a deep understanding of probability could explain, as simply as possible, which assumption is right and which one isn't. Or are they both right? I know it might not really matter, so long as our trades work, and this isn't a classroom and no one's obliged to teach us anything. But I think it would benefit the thread a lot.

So here goes. This is my question:

1. Assume we have 1000 bars of data (this is just an example, I know sample size should be much larger than this).
2. Assume that h=5, where h is the number of bars before and after the middle bar. So total width of h-zone is 11 (including the middle bar).
3. Assume that within these 1000 bars, 970 are h-recurrent. That is, the entire price range of the middle bar is "touched " by at least one other bar within the h-zone.
4. Therefore, 30 bars are h-transient. That is, one or more prices within the price range of the middle bar are not "touched" by any of the other bars within the h-zone.
5. Therefore, 97% bars of the sample belong to the h-recurrent group, and 3% of the bars belong to the h-transient group.
6. Therefore, the empirical probability of any bar being h-recurrent is 97%.

So far so good, right? I think most all of us will agree with this up to now.

7. Next, let's split the h-recurrent group unto 3 sub-groups:
- i) h-left-recurrent (middle bar prices only touched by bar(s) to the left)
- ii) h-right-recurrent (middle bar prices only touched by bar(s) to the right)
- iii) h-fully-recurrent (middle bar prices touched by bars to the left AND right)

8. Let's assume that the bar counts of these sub-groups are as follows:
- i) h-left-recurrent = 180 bars
- ii) h-right-recurrent = 110 bars
- iii) h-fully-recurrent = 680 bars

9. Therefore, the empirical probability of any bar belonging to the following groups is:
- i) h-left-recurrent = 18%
- ii) h-right-recurrent = 11%
- iii) h-fully-recurrent = 68%
- iv) h-transient = 3%

10. This gives us a total of 100%, as expected.

So far so good? I'm assuming it's OK to include the h-transient group with the other three, even though it's not a sub-group?

So, all this is leading up to my big question:

11. Assume that you are looking at a middle bar and you can't see what's to the right of it (like in real trading).
12. Assume that the middle bar is h-left-transient (some prices not touched within h bars to the left).
13. Therefore, after h bars to the right, this middle bar will belong to one of two groups:
- i) h-right-recurrent, OR
- ii) h-transient

(it's impossible for it to belong to the h-left-recurrent or h-fully-recurrent groups)

Finally, assume that you want to calculate the probability of this middle bar becoming h-right-recurrent. What do you do? I think there are two options:

A) Since the total number of bars it could turn into is 140 (110 h-right-recurrent + 30 h-transient), then the probability is 110 / 140 = 78.5%, OR

B) Since it will also turn into either the larger h-recurrent group (970 bars) or the h-transient group (30 bars), then the probability is 970 / 1000 = 97%.

This is my dilema. Which calculation is correct? They can't both be correct, can they? Or do you take an average of the two?

I'm inclined to think that (A) makes more sense logically, but I could be wrong of course.

Thanks for reading this and sorry if it isn't clear. I'm looking forward to the explanation.
You reap what you sow.

Hi, I believe A is correct. B feels like it's double implementing the premises to a bar that's in the past or something.. that's probably not a good way to explain it but I think it's using bad logic.

Attached is an example of what I think you're trying to get at, with the yellow arrow designating the bar that we're looking at.

Now, if you try to apply possibility B to this, you'll see that it just doesn't make sense. Part of the "Larger recurrent group" requires that it be of the following possibilities:

- i) h-left-recurrent
- ii) h-right-recurrent
- iii) h-fully-recurrent
Ignored
You'll notice that the bar that we're looking at can't possible be left recurrent OR fully recurrent.

Hopefully this answers your question, I've been misreading a lot of things lately X.x

Hello everyone
Ignored
one should just simply measure in the past the relative frequency of what is now going on. to do this, you find the number of same situation N in the past, and measure the number of times it was a certain type of outcome, say N1, and calculate the relative frequency of this to be f=N1/N. Than you say that if there is a sufficient number of situations where this outcome has happened, you have your probability p=h. this is all you need to do.

in your case you would be looking at all the "potential" h-transient zones in the past, and let us say that there were N such zones/bars in the past, count how many times *in those cases* the zone became recurrent within the following h bars, call this number N1, and then look at your relative frequency/statistical probability N1/N.

in the recurrence statistic indy this quantity is called the "probability of fully resolving a potential transient/fractal zone", dependent on the whether you are looking at the mid-bar or end-of-bar zone.
