Here is how my system would have handled the last E/U CZ. It was a very choppy market this time, and over-all it's not looking good for coming out of this with an easy profit. This one will make you sweat a little. But not really, if you are using ...

Altoronto, interesting chart, but what you are highlighting can not be classified as Consolidation Zones. It takes much more data to form a proper CZ than is given by 8 minutes of chart time. Not saying you can't somehow manage to scalp some pips ...

First of all, if you think that we bucket shop traders are creating any bias in the market you are sadly mistaken. It's just not possible. If you really understood how massive the FX market really is you would understand this fact for yourself. At ...

Thanks for stepping into the discussion. Your post brings up two key points for me. Both are extremely important, so I don't dare try to rate one above the other; they are both worth having tattoed on our foreheads: The first is to always remember ...

Anyone else noticing this perfect arc? Price has retraced precisely to within the CZ from 2 days ago, and then stalled. We are being primed for another breakout from the very same zone as before, just 48 hours later.

It took 5 more bars to confirm direction. Entry on the red arrow, TP on the green. Come on guys, speak up and tell us all your experiences. I am not a signal service. This is supposed to be a group effort. Who was following this same trade, and how ...

Not yet it's not. Simply going past the buffer line is not enough. Wait for at least 2 candles to close outside the buffer zone before you pick a direction. FxH

Galen, I guess I didn't make myself clear, so let me try again: If you don't know what the indicators are searching for, then you have no business commenting on them. Before you do anything else you need to read my thread about Stairstep Breakouts ...

Galen, your last comment above shows that you misunderstand 2 key elements of my trading style. First, I have said repeatedly that each pair needs to have it's own customized settings. There is not any setting that can be considered universal. You ...

Squalou, I just realized I mentioned something to Steve about my system, but not to you directly. I apologize very, very deeply if this has caused you to waste any time: Reagarding the CZ formation... The number of bars is a minimum value. If set to ...

My standard settings are 22-25/15/30. So this will give back CZ's that have 22, 23, 24, or 25 M15 bars, and the CZ will be 30 pips high or less. This is recommended for an M15 chart. Other time frames have different CZ sweet spots. Under no ...

I only posted this info here Steve, because this thread seems to be where all the EA coding is happening, as opposed to just normal trading talk or talk about Squalou's Forexhard indicator. In the end there will still be the Awesome, plus the ...

Squalou, see you after the weekend. Here is my complete system, all in one pic. It is very close to your EA now, but not exactly. Unlike Awesome, my system does not allow for automatic reversals or automatic lot size increases just because the SL ...

The tester graph from my earlier post. 16 CZ's over 5 weeks. +20% with just 1 pair on 1 TF.

Squalou, I've been running your EA through extensive tests. It works perfectly with my CZ's as the intiating filter. From June 7th until today it creates 16 CZ's with my settings of 22/15/30 on the EU M15. Which comes to 2.5 CZ/s per week, which is ...

Hey Squalou, the buffer lines seem to repaint. They disappear, and then return, etc. They are not 100% constant like the CZ boxes are.

Agreed. Amazing work, Squalou! But what do I do now? I'm all out of mods! It's perfect!
