It’s NOT semantics.

What’s the point in creating new indicator if you are just chasing price-action?

What’s the point of using just RSI (another Price-Action, and VERY lagging. BTW:CCI is better and faster for that purpose) to model Currency-Strength?

If you are into 30-40% of long-term trend, you don’t need all those fancy…[Read more]

Oh, really?

Price(t1) = 6, Price(t2)=7  —>  Diff=1.

MA(t1)={4,5,6), MA(t2)={4,5,6,7)  —> MA(t1,3)=5, MA(t2,3)=6   —>   Diff=1

So, in the above private case, MA’s Diff is equal to actual price Diff. and that’s just simple SMA. So your statement isn’t ALWAYS right…

Oh, I thought you know me by now… What about some kind of Volume-Weighted MA? You already recognize the power of VZO, Tick-Volume, etc.

No, it’s not. If you read and use Gadi_Currencies @FF, those are the exact examples that are given years ago.

The rule I gave is valid and accurate, and simplex proved it in one of his latest post.

The same logic that trade strong currency against weaker one can be applied to falling strong currency against rising weaker currency.

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…

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]

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.
