{quote} if you want to filter your entries by using the EMA, then wait for the EMA to exit the CZ and then enter the breakout there, just like how the SSBO INDI does it. this seems so obvious i am guessing that you are asking about something else?


Hi Greentruck- thanks for getting back to me dude, how are things?

Well what I mean is when you see the chart I posted before this page, the cadjpy. You can see on the left of that chart it says EMA: True, PERIOD: 1.

But you cant physically see the EMA on the chart it just automatically detects the breakout according to the parameters of the EMA.

Now with this new app when i enter the Exponential Moving Average in it shows it on the chart, so how would we select which trades to take and not to take? its confused me and thrown me off a little. Do you kind of get what im trying to say?

sure thing. so if you had turned on to visibly see the EMA on that cad/jpy chart you posted on 382, you would see that the indi will only trigger an entry once the ema exits the cz. so if you were to do this manually, without the indi, (which is what i think you are doing?), then just draw your s/r levels and then once your EMA crosses that level, then enter. its the same way the indi does.

Hey- Makes perfect sense to me but then why is it that sometime theres a week that goes by and i can pick out 3-4 trades that match the box range inputted into the SSBO system but it doesnt detect it?

Also- I have just clicked 'display ema' in the ssbo and a line down the middle of the most recent cz shows which left me baffled..? I have attached the pic for your persual.

Let me know your thoughts dude!

Thank you ramzam. Unfortunately this is not the latest version. If you would check the indicator posted in #5371 the parameters are not the same with yours. I noticed that the version in #5371 is more accurate and does not need to be refreshed periodically. Cause the indicator you provided lags if you do not refresh your charts regularly. Hopefully someone could share us a copy. Thank you!

HI Greentruck,

Hope you are well.

Srtill having some difficulties in putting the ema to visible on the charts, is this option under the SSBO indicator setting?

I have found that sometimes the SSBO does not detect a breakout even if the candle closes outside the CZ or takes the second breakout as a first breakout which is part of my filter for a trade. Maybe glitch somewhere. Any explanations of this also?

Kind regards,
Roni

Hi GUnight,
Thanks for your response. Unfortunately even after putting the ema to show via the indicator settings I am getting nothing. Do you know why this is happening?

I dont know Roni. But why exactly do you need the EMA from the indicator? Otherwise you can just use metatraders EMA.

I have found that some breakouts on the ssbo do not get triggered even when they match my filter for a trade which is ema:1 and a candle close outside of the buffer zone. So I wanted to see the ema line to determine why the trade is not being traded automatically providing all parameters are matched above. Could be an ssbo indicator issue?
Also on other platforms the minimum ema is 2. I'm just still trying to play around with my settings on the 1hour charts to find one with a great edge.

Very volatile week- some trades were taken out because i traded into S/R lines as per the breakout.

ALWAYS remember if a breakout is towards a massive resistance line or vice versa just try to sit out of that trade (if it is 20-30 pips away from your breakout)

Hi Nick,

Just checking in with you- Do you only trade h4 charts?

If you're anything like me, i too have found that trading higher time frames like the H1 charts provide better win ratios when using the indicator.

OK guys i have managed to take a screenshot of what i mean.

This example is of the AUDUSD trade, the blue line is the 1 day EMA ive added in manually to show you where the candlesticks break out.

You can see the first break happens including the EMA but the ssbo indicator does not enter- why?

it then breaks out for the second time and the entry is gained- this has happened on a few pairs and I am wondering why.

Someone care to explain?

Hi Roni, I don't use the indicator myself but which version do you use? Version 1.08 is the latest I think.

Another thing; there is no difference between a period 1 EMA and no EMA. For an average you need at least two numbers. Your EMA 1 shows just the close.

Hi GU night,

Thank you for your prompt response.

I downloaded this version from the website on fxhards page so I am guessing it is the latest one? Or am I mistaken and this is a bug?

Secondly- when I punch in my settings I get a better win ration with ema filter set to 1 than no ema at all so I'm not sure what you mean. The ema is always set to 1 on all my currency pairs and I have found it yields the best results.. I may try other ema number like 3,4,5 to see if I can use it that way but that still won't explain why sometimes the indicator won't enter upon the first breakout of a trade set.
Hope to hear from you!

It is easy to manual trade this method. But I wish the EA could be coded for cTrader!
