There we go! That's it. Now we have what I consider to be the core platform of the heatmap. Keep what's showing here and toss out any unused codes, and what remains will become the platform on top of which any improvements will be made. The only ...

Sue, 3 quick comments: 1. We allow price to tell us what to do. We never anticipate direction. We simply take the breakout price. 2. We can do this, because we have chosen parameters which give back only the very best CZ's possible for that pair. ...

Correct. I am referring to a cosmetic/display change only. As far as I can tell from here the behavior will remain the same. Label the 2 frames BigBoxBars and SmallBoxBars. Make them look like post #54.

The preferred outcome would be for you to delete the current Shift design and replace it completely with what you see in post #54.

No, not multiple instances of the same indi on a chart. I mean just change the name to something slightly different so that we can identify it as the newest version. I will simply remake my templates and delete the older version of the indi.

Stop regarding the Shift feature. This is something different. Let me try again: Imagine for a moment that there is only 1 box at all. Not 2, not 3, just one. Imagine that it is set for 1000 back bars. So then, these are the bars we use for ...

Also, just in case there is a problem with all the different versions overlapping each other, how about giving the next release a new name?

Notes on pic... Liking the contrasting dots and the histo labels a lot.

I am impressed and even slightly embarrassed that you spend so much time going over my posts. I'm not used to the concept that my thought processes are considered interesting by anyone other than myself. But ignore those older posts. They were made ...

Please don't take it personally. I wasn't trying to give you a complex or anything. It's just that lately we've had guys posting lies about us in other threads, and one of those lies had to do with Martingaling. So it seemed like a disclaimer was in ...

Yes, exactly. That color contrast is precisely what I'm looking for. (With the dots, not a 2nd solid line.) Yes, but the date tag at the bottom still shows up as a black artifact (like the threshold lines used to), and the line itself is way too ...

Caution! — The concept of progressive lot sizing is as old as the hills. I even use it myself some times. Some times. <--- Please understand that part of what I am saying. I do NOT use this tactic often, and I definitely do NOT recommend that ...

Working great so far. 2 cosmetic mods, please: 1. In the attached pic I've highlighted the empty histo place markers. Is there any way to make their color match the threshold line? 2. Please completely remove the Start Line feature. I can't think of ...

Bullberries, this is a very reasonable way to approach the market. Congrats on figuring out a method that feels right to you.

I see what you mean. That gray box was just something I made in in Paint. That pic is not from an actual chart indi. The triple-box pic is though. You are correct. The MT4-created boxes will divide the extreme Left/Right candles down the center. And ...

Sure you can. I have several indis that do exactly what I've described. Here's one painting 3 overlapping boxes: 1 at 30 bars (the small solid orange box) , 1 at 1000 bars (black frame), and 1 at 4000 bars (gold frame) all working together. Each one ...

Nice update. Before and after pics attached for my box idea. Note: The box does not include the current bar or the histo. Also, could we have a way to adjust the position of the histo itself? I'd like to be able to move both artifacts more to the ...

You see guys, this is exactly how it goes. Someone that I've banned for trolling the thread just comes back under a different name and tries all over again. I've seen guys with a half dozen FF identities. They use them for scamming and spamming, and ...
