scissors, the third post in this thread has the EA I would modify to follow your system. It has a counter from the last center bar and simple tests before entry that could be modified for your entry.

tradeforlife1, maybe the entry in my EA, after the 3 bar MA turns in your favor, then a trailing stop instead or as well as,  a 100pip TP.

mam.trader,

From the point of view of a programmer TZ has given me ideas of how to separate minor highs/lows from trend change highs/lows, given an easy way to code a search for patterns, timing etc, all of which can apply to trending or ranging markets. It can even help the EA to tell when a market is trending vs. ranging. In fact my current…[Read more]

hmm… I see your point.   I guess I have to second your question to saver0, is the time left always hours or is it bars in each time frame listed?

Ken

Saver0,

Sent diceman555 a message to contact you here.  Now I guess we will see if the assholes mess with me.

Thanks for starting this and the TZ percentage dashboard.

Ken

Just tried a post but dont see it. sorry if it gets doubled.

Hi scissors,

My EA has TZ detector and timer already in it, but I have many ideas to try already so unless someone else wants to modify my EA it will be awhile before I can do it.

Do you mean 48 bars after the left half forms or after a complete TZ forms?

You may be able to use this…[Read more]

Hi maahome,

Hi mam.trader,

Glad to see you here.

There are methods to use the TZ concept to trade trending markets, but I am not yet sure if they are better than buy and hold strategy.  I wrote an EA that tripled an account (in backtesting)  during the recent EUR/USD move by assuming that the PTZ would fail (80+ % fail) and selling on the  retrace. In oth…[Read more]

GIO,

HOURS, NOT MINUTES

Sorry about the caps but I program in a language that requires all caps for CNC mills. This will happen to me once in a while. I am not shouting, get used to it. :)

After I posted Kiads post was there and reminded me that I also have a time filter in there to control the window where the trade can be made, but I think this will have to be changing with “wave length” of the market to be effective. Maybe a moving avg. of the time between the last three TZ tops for sells and bottoms for buys.  Another project…[Read more]

Hi Traderforlife1,

I have been working on an EA that does the opposite. Since 97 percent of PTZ get closed I am trying to figure out how to make an EA that picks the right time/pips away from start of PTZ to trade back to it. Did some work with stuff i saw on the sim thread such as PTZ outside of BB and I have my own ideas about momentum with…[Read more]

It opened to another tab in Chrome. I ended up copy and pasting into a meta-editor window.

I have not been revoked or suspended because i am too busy to keep up and really do a lot of posting on the similarity based threads. I will gladly relay any messages from the revoked to people on FF that they want to contact. If you want to keep it somewhat private email me at cybercut@ymail.com and I will relay for you.

So I see you labeled time left in hours (which I didn’t know before), the percent is obvious, and the first column in expectation of move in Pips right?

Its like they went down the list of my favorite people and banned them! I guess if the secrets of success get out they will make retail forex illegal and FF will be out of business.
