EA and more — davidb I agree with a lot of the sentiments expressed in your last post. I'm aware of the difference it made for me in looking at the chart once I removed the automatic Squalou indicator that selected the consolidation for us. An ...

the-game — I'm glad of you being thoughtful enough to not want to give people headaches, but with the small and large rectangles of your post I have no idea where you are asking us to look. Could you place the small box over the area of ...

vladv — I'm pretty happy sticking with GBP/USD and the 15 min time frame set out in the first post. It is easy to get lost in the simplicity of a method by adding numerous different currencies and time frames to it, more so when one is such a ...
