burnssss, I'll explain this issue in a separate post, but one more case is when everything "fits" and you are waiting for "next bar" and instead you are getting a fractal. I fail to see the similarity to the similarity... ;-} G.

Fractals, ZZ & the Pissing Dog

burnssss, 1. Yes, but I'm still looking for a better way than just "more than 3 bar away". Sometimes the "error" is a better entry for trading. 2. Yes, good description, but there are more cases when this kind of "errors" occur - and we have to ...

Fractals, ZZ & the Pissing Dog

jmn5611, "Expose my trading" - that's not going to happen here. The purpose is to test a theory that knowing what to trade, a little "edge", R/R, M/M combined together can achieve a lot. It's not going to recommend trading in such a way on regular ...

Fractals, ZZ & the Pissing Dog

emonts, I'm still here, not going anywhere... I said from day 1 that I'm also working and testing Renko/Range bars. It's exactly the same system and algorithm - but I think it will bring better yield with some innovative R/R & M/M. G.

FXEZ, Your account drag and money management article is one of the BEST I've ever read! Thanks. G.

Fractals, ZZ & the Pissing Dog

FXEZ, You mentioned average DrawDown - based on what strategy? I don't think that implementing that indicator on Renko charts can be called "reversal system". Account size is $10,000 and needs to be doubled within roughly a month. That's ~20 trading ...

Fractals, ZZ & the Pissing Dog

Can you roughly double an account ? Trade-explorer is set up and waiting to start on next week open. Strategy: Little "edge" applied on Renko charts, statistical tools and "Out-of-the-Box" thinking on Risk/Reward & Money-Management. Wish me luck... ...

Fractals, ZZ & the Pissing Dog

Ok, I think it's time for practical application. The question on hand is something like this: Can you roughly double your account within a month? Not using Martingale and other "crazy" things - just logical things but with totaly different aproach. ...

Fractals, ZZ & the Pissing Dog

killerno, No, I start calculation from the confirmed ZZ in cases of "error" predictions. What I meant was that I don't have a swing pattern with "01" and that length and a "next bar" with high probability against longer pattern at that point. G.

Fractals, ZZ & the Pissing Dog

killerno, Going back to that example: ZZ position is confirmed only 5 bars later. Following that confirmation point I can't find in my DB a valid pattern for swing signal that contains only 5 down bars. G.

Fractals, ZZ & the Pissing Dog

killerno & candero, It's obvious that your algo isn't processing the "error" prediction as it should. Also, part of that process is to insert that error zz leg into the database and recalculate. And therefor I don't know how many such data items you ...

Fractals, ZZ & the Pissing Dog

Starry, Currently I'm not using it - but it was very usefull at the begining of development. I'm currently busy implementing the same ideas on Renko charts - it seems like much more pips in every ZZ leg. G.

Fractals, ZZ & the Pissing Dog

killerno, In your (mine) posted example the down signal at the start of the big move was an "error". In those cases the algo start calculating again from the actual ZZ top after it is confirmed. That's why it "skip" the intermediate up moves and ...

Fractals, ZZ & the Pissing Dog

emonts, I don't understand your statement about alternating fractals. The last fractal have not yet revealed itself, it will reveal itself two bars too late. So we have to look for current fractal pattern, current total length and wait for a ...

Fractals, ZZ & the Pissing Dog

burnssss, Please try to consult crodzila regarding "next bar" and fractals probability calculation. He did a great job assembling and compiling all in one coherent Doc. G.

Fractals, ZZ & the Pissing Dog

burnssss, I don't know what you or others are doing "wrong", if at all. Assuming we all start with the same historical data and same SET1, SET2, SET3, my database is changing when: 1. I get an "ERROR" prediction - new elements are inserted and the ...

Fractals, ZZ & the Pissing Dog

The SHORT signal on Friday close (post #263) ended up in ~30 green pips on this week market open... FerruFx, is everything ready for our arrival? ;-} G. image

Fractals, ZZ & the Pissing Dog

beachloup, Burnsss example and my response are the way I'm currently doing it. I understand your logic - but please try to understand mine. In that example: We currently have actual length of 10. When checking length 11, 12, 13 we already "looking" ...
