Good point ! — Thanks for poInting out. I did not realise that! EP

The gg53 "Killing Zone"

Its my first trade with this method. — Looking back on it, yes you are correct. I was not paying too much attention to the consecutive bars as we are yet to determine the ideal number of bar to End the KZ. EP

EU 5M — It even works on 5M!

The gg53 "Killing Zone"

I'm just not sure that using an arbitary min pips is the ideal solution. As suggested earlier, using the sum of 2 previous bars will overcome the Doji/pin bar issue and still be in tune with PA. As such, have modified the indicator and also ...

The gg53 "Killing Zone"

consolidation zones — Yes, that thread uses consolidation zones with a minimum number of bars within a fixed range or something. The problem I had with it was getting the right breakout, but using the OBv with it, might just be the solution. EP

The gg53 "Killing Zone"

Minimum previous bar — Yes, the Big Bar is defined as 'x' times the previous bar. However, as we saw with a previous bar being a Doji/Pin Bar, that definition will pickup bars that are not really big. So, when the condition for a previous bar ...

The gg53 "Killing Zone"

Min Size of Prev bar — Well, if we use greater than "x" times the ATr as Min Size of previous bar, and then the Big Bar to be 'y' times the Prev bar, then the big Bar must actually be 'x' X 'y' times the ATr. EP

The gg53 "Killing Zone"

Doji/Pin bars — In the absence of any other criteria to determine the Min size of the previous bar, I used the ATR, with an external parameter (PrevBarSize- default 0.4) The closer we get to the ATR the less bars meet the criteria. It also, ...

The gg53 "Killing Zone"

Draw Lines manually — Zack, The indicator only scans for Big bars and 3 consecutive Up/down Bars. It is very easy to draw the lines manually and move them along as new arrows appear. Sometimes, if Chart TF is changed, the arrows get jumbled. ...

The gg53 "Killing Zone"

Zone still inside the Big Bar range — Is the zone still valid because the OBv tracks did not change even though the End was signalled? The see-saw was yet to be disturbed by the Game changer. Also, on the 30M chart the Zone High/Low was still ...

The gg53 "Killing Zone"

Bar Size parameter — The indicator already has an external parameter ("T") for Big Bar Size . EP

The gg53 "Killing Zone"

Big Bar criteria — Yes, gg, the Open/close option as explained is logical. In which case, we probably need to use a factor approx 4-5 times the previous body. EU chart is attached with T= 4.5. It is setting up for nice breakout. (Vertical and ...

External parameters — The coding to externalise bar counts is a bit more involved. Futurespec is definitely your man there. EP

The gg53 "Killing Zone"

3 Bar End — Gg, I went back and re read your previous posts, and I realise that you wish to optimize some of the criteria, like 3 bar and and the 6/7 bar condition for establishment of the killing field. The indicator I used is attached. It ...

The gg53 "Killing Zone"

The Killing Zone — OK gg, I modified the indicator to signal Big Move bars when compared to previous bar instead of ATR. Also corrected the consecutive bar signals. Now, as this strategy relies totally on Gadi_OBv breakout, I just want to ...

The gg53 "Killing Zone"

Consecutive bars — Thanks gg for the concept, and Jusiur for starting this thread. To help visualise the killing zone better, have put together an indicator to: 1. Identify Last Big Move - Red Arrows. It Uses a Factor(1.5) times ATR14. 2. ...

The gg53 "Killing Zone"

Nice tips — Will need to practice that! Also, good suggestion to look at AU, seems to trend well and would be ideal for bounce trades. Thanks, EP

The Fives — Have been trying to use the 5 SMAs but not so easy in real time. However, on reading your post, I just realised that "hug" is the key to picking fast moves and will use it to attempt actual trades. EP

Entry Indicator — Thanks for the Entry Indicator. Reversal signals are so perfect, it creates an impression of repainting. Have tried to find out more, but it remains a mystery. Will keep under close observation. EP
