Vlady, you really are the GUY!!! This is an excellent explanation, maybe the best I've ever seen so far on swings. You help me structure my thinking. Thanks!

The similarity system

Wow, needed some time to catch up. Eurusdd and all others, thanks a lot for your efforts trying to explain and to share your views, all this information is a huge help for those who wish to learn!! Yesterday I had loss, I think I tried to combine ...

The similarity system

But it would really be interesting to know where price will be in reference to the zone that is currently forming. And I believe Eurusdd referred to this new zone.

The similarity system

According to the rules, that little gap is overall like 97% of the market time, isn't it? At least that was my understanding previously.

The similarity system

Yeah, this can be correct. But whether the breakout was on the low / high does not correlate with whether the zone will be cleared from below/above. Just look at that long zone from the 15th. Price broke below, went down, than went above the dissim ...

The similarity system

I'm asking, but my problem is that I cannot answer. I know this would be one of the keys, and it might be just my ignorance. But quite frankly, I don't have a clue. This dissim started with a huge up spike, before that market was almost ranging (on ...

The similarity system

Sure, here you go.

The similarity system

On my chart another dissimilarity started. Can anybody else confirm this?

The similarity system

Neio, this is super, thanks a million!! Great to have all the wisdom of Eurusdd in a single place.

The similarity system

That's exactly what we'd all like to learn, but this knowledge is apparently not coming easy...

The similarity system

If you're using v1_80 of the indie, make sure to set the zone_lifetime_in_days parameter to higher, if you wish to see it. By default it is set to 14, which matches what Eurusdd said about zone lifecycles: "everything beyond two weeks should be ...

The similarity system

Thanks Vlady, very neatly put, I was just about to share the same thinking of me. And now I'm not sure which direction it will finally take. Also it just started to bounce back up from the daily pivot, which eventually matches the lower ZZ lag, with ...

The similarity system

Yes, confirmed, finally something I see the same.

The similarity system

Yes. In v1.8 there is a setting 'zone_lifetime_in_days', and by default it's 14. If you increase it to eg. 75, the zone will appear. For me it was something with MT4 getting mad at the number of objects somehow. After restart it displayed the ...

The similarity system

Or I'm just an idiot... I needed to exit/restart MT4, and magically the zones appeared. So it was my issue, not yours, sorry!! And yes, it is from June 20th, and around 1.3258. It's something like 26 days old, and I wonder how strong it is. I also ...

The similarity system

Strange. I even set the number of bars setting of the indie much higher (to 3000) and still there is nothing there. I also zoomed out the chart scale to the extremes, but nothing. Can it be that our price flows are such different across brokers? (I ...

The similarity system

What you described makes a lot of sense, thanks a lot!! However, I also don't have the zone above (on neither of my accounts). So naturally, my conclusions - at least based purely on my charts - are different. I'm more biased to expect a short, ...

The similarity system

Eurusdd told to us in the beginning that we need to setup our charts / indies so that 97% of the time they show similarity. If they don't, then the initial setup is not correct / optimal for the TF. Now if I increase the # of bars in the indie and ...

The similarity system

Maybe I'm wrong, but I can see somehow dissimilarity "calming down". Still not similar, but almost...

The similarity system

Not yet, at least on my charts it's still in dissim zone.
