{quote} Hi Forexpinbar, first compliments for your results and your creative intelligence to try to find a simple way to trade all this profitably out all the complexity behind. Did you abandon heatmap modoki & currency strength meter because after some test you found your previous method wasn't successful or what ? Best regards, Bubincka
FYI I still trade heatmap modoki and currency strength..It is a profitable strategy so I am still trading it..Like I said I started testing out this strategy on Friday and intend to continue testing when market opens next week..
Goal of a successful trader is to make the best trades. Money is secondary

Glad to be part of this history momentum Even if I am not on the same side of the barricade.

I wouldn't ask but I have a big mystery that I am fighting with for long time and I can't match it exactly ... sister can you help me with this one please?

I analyze every single photo with the gap row's , when should I reset them, and when I should skip the reset?

Thanks,

If I am not totally mistaken (it only happens once in a while) the reset is 5 / 15 / 60 / 240. However, your time is another than ours and you know that already!

Sometimes when we reset / or not reset I am matching perfect. Only that I took the decision not to reset sometimes to help me entry faster in next trades, my decision is not equal with your.

Any little hint at least please?

The reset is always like what I've stated above. For the faster entries, you should use m5 / m15 only. Try it, test it and find some more filters to prevent from false breakouts.

I am using that points during NY sometimes, still didnt figure out yet how to switch between them automatic, only manual.

Regarding false breakouts... what is killing my trades are days / sessions without volatility. I used bulls&bears for volatility messurement but it seams is not always used by you.

Like what I've stated the time I came up with it the first time, it's a nice to have feature but it is not used for the trading decision. You have an accelerator and it shows very good already but once again I have to say that you have to measure the move of every currency for a certain (mtf) time-frame if it's strong enough to enter the market.

I am messuring that with GD and the next point near it, but in days without news or just random session false breakouts still happen a lot, this is the major problem to know what kind of day / session I am expecting and to messure it live not in the past, a resolve for this will improve the trading.

Thank you

Well,not exactly
I'm following your chat with Jibala,and I think it's pretty interesting
about the Gap,there is a lot more to explore, i.e. you could measure the Gap over a certain rolling period and check its values variation in precentage..I use to call this the "expansion" factor

I just build an excel with all the latest gap's only reset and not, and what was the reset point. I have 11 not reset in time, from 20 total, that's 55% of times when you took the decision not to reset them, I find it very relevant for the DGTS signal.

I think something is wrong here, right? Because there's always a reset!

Of course there is an reset at some point! just that some of the gap bar's skip the reset like I already said. That happen 55% of times , I just don't believe 55% of time you took trade decision based on bug or something like that This will never happen to you, I can upload the file so you can take a look.

Ok, only to make and keep it clear for our fellow traders/readers here in the community. Not to have too much confusion. No need thanks, I still have a lot of other work and don't need additional!

But that's exact what generate confusion, "The reset is always like what I've stated above." and when 55% of them are not like that ... I would prefer "That's one of nasap secret" and I would keep looking, so in the end are this points used ? Should we skip them sometimes for faster entries or just another reasons ?


EDIT: P.S. I am aware that I am spoon feeding some peoples with months of my own hard working research.

You're hard working, just my hard working research, don't want to take credits for anything I don't deserve.

sounds very interesting.... double expansion as opposed to double gap. nice idea

It can be done now in mt4 with bid ratio thanks to GVC

It doesn't matter how you measure it, pips - points - percentage or whatever, the main thing you measure and compare it!

And to make more clear for bourne, a ratio gain of 0% is just 0 , while a compare scale of 0 doesn't mean it gain/lose 0.

Sister I hope you just didn't choose another questions and ignore mine No more love for me?
