I am not polluting any thread, FH. I barely post at all. Question was a fair one. How is it mathematically possible to risk the same amount every trade if using martingale. I thoroughly back tested this system over the last several years with quite ...

How is this possible? Don't you use martingale? I don't see how you can possibly keep it at .01 every time.

I think he just meant that he left the SL override as 0 and used CZ as his SL. Which would actually be 17pips due to buffer (and of course spread). Not 15 like he said.

I noticed that every once in a while the new indicator has to be reset, because it doesn't show properly - it doesn't show that the trade got stopped out or hit TP, even if the price went well over the price target. Once you reset it, it shows fine. ...

The idea is to open 5 trades with your same original risk. Therefore if you wanted to risk 1 lot you'd open five 0.2 lots. This could work out nicely or not, depending on a lot factors. I personally will not use this option since it seems as though ...

Thanks a lot for a thorough explanation. It is really a brilliant idea. I am all for using an EA, I just wanted to fully understand it first. I'd still like to understand the difference between the last two indicators and how this last one is ...

I'd appreciate if you could explain how the N value comes into play since I have a hard time understanding it. Your picture shows the top of the CZ to be at 0.998 and buffer is 2 pips so entry is at 1.000. But if we take spread(2) and N(2) into ...

He might be right. If that's the case, just change the 'statscorner' value to 1 and one of them is going to show on the right side. That way you can compare both of them side to side.

Forexhard, I don't know if you saw my last post, but I'd like to understand the difference between the last two indicators, since you said that the newest one is more selective. Thanks again. Here was my question:

No problem. I thought the last indicator followed your rules pretty well. What is the difference between these two indicators when it comes to the trade qualification? Thanks.

There is a mention of the 'RecalculateZeroBar' in the PDF, however that option is not a part of the new indicator. Also, is it just me or is anyone else getting completely different net pip results with the new indicator with the exact same settings?

What indicator are you using to generate your tick charts? Thanks.

What if those next 2 trades didn't pan out? What would account look like after 1 year? Also, what would it look like if you didn't double your risk after 3 losses?

I corrected my earlier post. The only thing that needs to be addressed is the 'individual trades won' since it is actually showing the number of total breakouts, instead of just wins. This directly influences the 'individual trades win ratio'. So ...

I told Xux99 to take a look at the last several posts on this thread. He said that he will do so and fix any issues. Very kind of him!

Yes you are right. 'Individual trades won' is actually the number of breakouts and not the number of wins. Individual trades lost seems to be correct. So the 'individual trades win ratio' is incorrect. The number of net pips seems to be correct ...

Thanks for your response. And yes I have. I just loaded the default indicator on this chart to show the stats issue. Also, number of net pips is off as well. One more thing, I am trying to figure out how the average number of pips works. I am ...

Forexhard, I've attached a screenshot of my chart. 85 CZs found, max trades per CZ set to 1. Individual trades won: 83. Individual trades lost:36. Total of 119 trades. I thought that the total should be 85 trades since my setting is ...

Hopefully someone is able and willing to answer my questions: I am trying to understand the difference between 'trade set win ratio' and 'individual trades win ratio'. I am assuming the individual trades is a winning percentage for trades taken ...
