I'm using the newest platform available on Oanda. The other indicators on my chart are older and trusted. They have always worked well for me. We are trying to get your stuff up to their level. Take it as a compliment. Personally I can't code. But I ...

OK, this will be the last one for a while, I promise! What can I say, you've inspired me. It's all your fault! LOL Notes on pic. All of these histo lines should be painting over the orange threshold line.

Another registration-type bug. Notice that there are 2 4000 boxes in this pic, both of them are colored Gold. Both frames should be lining up perfectly on top of each other. But when I scale out to H1 or H4, your 4000 box (on the left) doesn't line ...

It also looks like the labels are a bit buggy. There's some obvious trouble with getting them lined up, and the CZ label is a different color. For better uniformity, all 3 labels should look as much alike as possible: Place them same price level ...

Now for the tricky part. When I tried to use different CZ settings, this crazy long CZ popped up. It comes up when either one of the 2 values are changed from the defaults. They do not need to both be changed in order for this to occur.

Wow. All I can say really is... Wow. I have found some bugs that I will put in the next post. This one is much more basic: ~Change the default heatmap threshold to 60, and the fractal threshold to 5. ~Make all box frame thicknesses 2 by default. ...

Have you read the Sq. info graph on that chart? 64 CZ's? 4.6 per week????

Hello Sconcha, and welcome to Stairsteps! You have my full attention. Anyone that passes on an indicator in favor of drawing the CZ's by hand will always have my full attention! These types of questions have 3 types of replies: the technical answer, ...

This is correct. The Sq. settings only prevent the CZ's from becoming too big (eg, more than 30p tall), but they do not prevent the CZ's from becoming smaller. This is also why we do not want or need the Auto settings. Because with the Auto settings ...

Almost. If AutoBoxRange=True then the hard pip values above it do not count. The hard pip values only count if AutoBoxRange=False. So there are 2 unique settings to the Sq indi. The problem is that if the Auto=True, then there is no fixed size to ...

This should help... EDIT: The 2nd paragraph should read, "Where the 2 blocks overlap is now a darker color..."

This is how the new 3rd histo should look. We don't count individual price hits like with the 1st two histos. In this case we are keeping track of where the past CZ's are located, and how often they overlap each other. The more times they overlap ...

Excellent work. Now that we're as streamlined as can be with the core platform it's time to add something new to the mix. I know that you are familiar with the Squalou indi (v.13). The next step is to add it and the heatmap together. In doing so you ...

You've been asking me why the "ignore" box. This pic is a perfect example of why I asked for it. Starting at the histos and working backwards, there are 3 zones marked out: The indi ignore box, a zone with 1 red underline, and a zone with 2 red ...

Paradox, let's play a game: I hand you a baseball and I tell you that you must toss it 100 times at a target down the way. But, it's a weird magical baseball, with strange properties. Because 70 to 80 of those ball tosses are going to reverse ...

Another happy SSBO camper! Congratulations on finding something that works for you! Some people spend years searching and never find it. Just tighten those parameters down until they beg for mercy. Better 5 perfect CZ's than 50 so-so. It's not how ...

Gotta love it. After a 5-day climb and a total gain of about 160p (the 140 shown, plus a few more besides), the whole thing comes crashing down right back to the CZ's upper level in just 1 day! Almost to the pip! Perfect.
