I like this approach, but...


despite the fancy TZ indicators, this strategy is nothing more then really simply buying the cross-close over the Donchian channel bands.
I see some logic here... in realy old Donchian theory the buy signal is created when the price action breaks through and closes above the upper band and vice versa.

Really basic system, which is known for dozens of years (maybe from 50ties) and not tradable in the long run.
I think more sophisticated filter will be needed to survive.

He is right to an extent. Others use the TZ tool completely differently, which ever way you it is used must be based on the probabilities associated with the TZs. The probality that the MTZ will be revisited by price is a lot higher than otherwise. I chose the opposite because I realized the tendency for price to continue in the its original path was much greater than it turning around once it started creating an MTZ. U really don't need a strong filter like he said to succeed with this method. You need good money management. Anyway add the this indi to any trading system and tell me if you can't trade it successfully with good MM.

Thank you.

what other system do i need or filters for this ? like EMA for trend ?

What is good money management risking small like 2 percent pertrade and a stop of 10 and a target for 20 for example ?

well we could agree that TZ zone is ploted every time the candle closes over the donchian band, where TZ h=donchian lenght.
just plot donchian channel with lenght 8 over the chart with TZ with h=8
signals are equal
this way you can make quick visual backtesting as much in history as much you want - buy every time the candle closes over the up band and vice versa

with forwardtesting the H1 or 15min timeframe, you would need many months to say if this method is tradable in the long run or not, 10 days is realy not enough,
with donchian channel you can make your own judgment in couple of minutes or hours... and as I see.. if we would take everysingle signal we would end up in loss, no matter how the MM will be set up
anyway i agree that according to the donchian theory the Alberts approach is more rational, then the opposite use of TZ zones (hoping that the price will come back to the zone)

Just an observation: Do you agree that the higher the H value the better the chances of the trade continuing in that direction.
