Interesting to see how others looked at this CZ. I like how it didn't just work out at the very first time for me. Helps me learn more.
Kudos to Sq, fxspin, xux for the indicator. Terrific job!!

Thank you, subs, it does make sense. What I find curious is that the trade set from July, 26, has not closed until now as seen in the screenshot. I have looked into the code, but it is way above my head. For the record (and Kissa), here are the ...

The Final Edition Guide says for "Box Ranges: Maximum height in pips...". So decreasing this parameter should only decrease the number of CZs found, right? Altering only this parameter from 20 to 19 to 18 gives 50, 23, 43 CZs as seen in the ...

Hey Mike, Yeah, that makes a lot of sense, thanks! You have a way of finding the right words.

What about all the traffic we are in, the lack of space? The way I see it, we would need to wait for the minor PPZ at 1.4550 to break. Then TP at 1.4600. Which size would you choose for a SL? I understand that expected %R does not make or break a ...

Can someone please help me with these numbers? A trade has a target price which is 20 pips away and a stop loss that is 30 pips away. What is the success percentage on the setup you need to break even? I was thinking 20/30 = 67%, but if the trade ...

I thought the same and just got a good spanking myself. Maybe too tight SL at 1.3860, just above yesterdays open? Ouch!

Wow, just wow. Pinbar breaks, the market tries to bag some tight stops (or maybe bounces from Nov 9th H1 PPZ at around 1.5630 ?), and goes to the FTA, not breaking below 1.5600, and there it stays for the day. I didn't play it, did not have enough ...

Also, there is now this PB lookalike developing. But its current close is above the 50 fib and then there's this 1.5600-1.5620 area close by. Came within 25 pips of first time back to the 365 ema on the other hand. Maybe this is one where it would ...

Hey Jim, Thanks for your comments, greatly appreciated!

And out at SL for +169 pips. I should have had a plan for the 1.58 BRN. A lot of focus on setup and entry finding, not letting stuff turn into a loss. Have to work on scenarios like these, when the trade is running very good. But to think of me ...

Oh my, still in this one for the full position. Consecutively moved the SL up. Hell if I know what to do now. I was only thinking until the FTA @ 1.5650-1.5670. Probably have to do some math on what happens if I take partial profit at x etc... Also, ...

You could try NinjaTrader, not a MT4 add-on though. I have used it for a while and it's pretty powerful. I have, however, not yet gotten down to achieving any level of sophistication with it. Cheers, dkc
