I do trade my rules, I just gave only one rule of using Currency-Strength indicator.

With my indicator I can also trade Counter-Trends with high accuracy and low risk, I’m not so sure it can be done with other indicators, since I haven’t seen a good one yet.

Strangely enough, above pics show  predictive indicator and not a lagging one…

Quite amazing, since it’s on H4 TF, i.e. 4 hours advanced prediction… so don’t let the facts confuse your theories…

Using MAs for trading, we always have to find some balance between two antagonistic mathematical methods: integration and differentiation.

Applying the MA (integration) to prices always introduces a certain amount of lag. Choosing a state of the art adaptive filter instead of a simple SMA can reduce the amount of lag while at the same time…[Read more]

There is no “definition” issue between us, just the way what and how you implement things in order to overcome “lag”, and make your indicator a predictive one.

If you use ONLY price-action in your calculations and considerations, your indicator will  ALWAYS be lagging and you’ll always chase Price-Action.

Here is a sample of non-lag,…[Read more]

On Currency-Strength:

There are two kinds of Currency-Strength indicators, and people tend to confuse between them and even program indicators with a “mixed” logic.

Absolute Currency-Strength, measure Currency-Strength based on some anchor in past history, either date or some meaningful historical value.

Relative Currency-Strength is more…[Read more]

Most CS indicators are lagging to some extent. And so do my early attempts to code a CS. All those discussions with @gg53 about this topic convinced me that this is not necessarily so, and my latest CIX is tuned to be much more reactive than every CS I coded earlier. But ok, it’s a bit choppy now. And since we want to calculate a slope, ‘some’…[Read more]

Thanks for this:

I also experimented with VZO settings different than the defaults suggested in Khalil’s article. I found that VZO 4 … 8, limits around 60 looked interesting, so very much similar to your suggestion.

I will certainly try your breakout, anticipating the reversal! I’m curious how the exact timing will meet CIX and CLEAR.

Regarding VZO:

I think you get better entries playing with VZO parameters and range (try VZO 6, range 55 & -55), thus trading just the breakout of the range (i.e. on lower range breakout – signal Long, Upper range breakout – signal short.)

Your method will also work Ok (a bit lagging), without fine-tuning VZO.

It will still give you an overview of the FX market, and you have more than enough guidelines on how to make a better one.

Use my guidelines, and you can profit with it, but I’m using much more enhanced versions. You need to consult lower TF when using that version.

Trading Currency-Strength alone is: Currency A is above 0 and pointing UP, Currency B is below 0 and pointing DOWN, Go LONG on AB pair.

BTW: GOOD Currency-Strength indicator isn’t lagging, but precedes Price-Action by at least 1-2 bars.

If yours is lagging, only trade the Recycle-Bin Market with it…
