I dont think i understand the EMA and the MA. I want the EMA to be displayed, and when i select thi from the ssbo settings a red line is shown all the way down my chart but no ema.

And more importantly- on a normal broker platform how do we set the MA period to 1 because they only allow a minimum period of 2.

This is all i do. How do…[Read more]

I dont think i understand the EMA and the MA.

Are these two different confleunces?-When setting up a trade I turn EMA to true and adjust the MA period filter to 1.

This is all i do. How do i do this on a normal broker platform…

Hi Xux99,

Could you just explain to me why i am able to get the MA period to 1 on the SSBO and on real time brokers i can only put the MA period to minimum of 2 and not 1.

When i click the EMA to true from false and then adjust the MA period to 1 i get the best stats on backtest..?

Xux99,

The min closed bar(s) are 1.

The MA period is 1- i do not know what you man by MA applied price settings, i do not use this function. Does that help?

Hi Xux,

My exact settings vary for boxes, for example for eurusd the box range is 18 and the length is 20bars- but I trade the 1hour charts so this equates to 5 bars on a trade and a height of 18 or below as per settings.
My ema filter is set to TRUE and the MA period is always set to 1 for all pairs as I feel I the win ratio when back testing is…[Read more]

The biggest issue I’m having is understanding the EMA period. I have selected this to 1 in the ssbo how come some trades are not being entered even when they break out of the consolidation box at the first time?
secondly I am using IG markets who are based in the UK I have the app on my phone and I am not able to download the indicator ssbo on i…[Read more]

hi Xux99,

Thankyou for your prompt response.

My filters are set to ‘min close 1’ so soon as the first close outside the box is identified my trade enters.

In regards to the EMA- I have put the ema period to 1- I have felt this has the best results. But some trades lag, like the picture attached on my previous post I found that there are…[Read more]

Hi guys i have managed to take a screenshot of something I am stuck with on the indicator.

This example is of the AUDUSD trade, the blue line is the 1 day EMA ive added in manually to show you where the candlesticks break out.

You can see the first break happens including the EMA but the ssbo indicator does not enter- why?

it then breaks out…[Read more]

Anyone?? no?? :(

Hi Guys-

I am now using another trade platform on my phone and when i add on the EMA it shows it on the chart but how do we determine which breakout to take because with the SSBO file it automatically configures the EMA depending on which value we put in for the period. But with the current platform im using the EMA is shown on the chart but how…[Read more]

I dont think you understand the concept of my previous post.

Can I take a minute out to explain the concept of a forum to you because it seems like you have your trading grasped but lack the intelligence to define what a ‘forum’ is used for. A forum is a DISCUSSION BOARD where noobs and pro’s alike share their personal experiences with something, i.e the SBBO system. For your information I have read your…[Read more]

Billyon,

Many thanks for your response!
What makes you say that this method will ‘eat you’?
It would be so profitable if we could use the same quickTP for the second, third, fourth trade of a set..
Does anyone do this? Or do they just keep the Quicktp number to the initial breakout only?

Hi Guys,

Hope everyone had a lovely easter break!

Been away from the forum for awhile been experimenting.

I have one last mind boggling question which I think only xux99 can answer (anyone feel free to assist)

So I have been using the SSBO dynamic breakout box indicator for about two months now but what I want to know can we not trade the…[Read more]

Mak,

difficult to make sense because some posts you say you move the SL line as second trade progresses and then some posts you say you leave risk on both trades for 30pips.

will try to figure out!

Ok I think there is a huge language barrier here because we have contradicting statements.

So we simple open a trade and another one with it keeping exactly the same stop loss. If the risk is still the same then what is the point here? If both trades fail we lose 30 pips and if they hit our tp we then make 30.. Where is the reward ratio higher…[Read more]

I get where you are coming from, at least slightly.

As I understand you would open multiple positions instead of just one and then keep the stop loss at the other end of the box for example 30pips. But then is that not the same as trading normally because you have a chance of winning more lots but if the trades go in the opposite direction you…[Read more]

Where would you move your original SL to then? below the second position when you open or the first one?

So let me get this right, you open a normal trade that meets your criteria, for example a one bar close outside the CZ zone. You then open another one straight after, but for both trades the SL is still the opposite side of the box? That means…[Read more]
