Yep, I miss him too. But maybe you can give me some idea(s)?

Thanks PTG, I have read the thread 2 times and have studied all of his charts. Probably I am blind and can not see what you guys see. Please recommend a good doctor then :)

Azuremaster, might be you can describe how you come up with the zlines on the chart. I am sure MO and others would be happy to help you.

I am in a same boat as you - I have readed NLA twice and am re-reading it again. Here's my interpretation of zline (attached chart). Basically the line help us to idenity the price that most traders got "zeroed out" at their BE level.

Hey Lis, I am re-reading the thread again (3rd time and on page 235 at the moment lol).
From what I have read here, here is my understanding of zline: we have increase of momentum to the upside. The candle body is 2x larger than previous body. That means, we have traders that went long in the Mighty zone- from the open to 50% of body. Any Zline in the Mighty zone is a true Zline. Zero line is a line where traders entered long and when price returns to ZL, traders have zero profit and exit. We take long here. Vice versa for shorts.

Now, from what I know. If we see increase of momentum, we know that there is demand at that area(big boys bought there). Usually they will try to bring the price down again to the entry area(or ZL) and to hit the stops of other traders and to buy some more. After that the price will go up. This is another explanation of Zline concept.

P.S. looks like your ZL was good for short but it never happened.

Personally my zline trade involves a breakout and a momo bar, and follow the saying "body in the direction of profit, wick in the direction of loss.

The chart was for a long trade. The candle after the momo bar "wicked" the zline and up it went :)

Zero Lines are only for discretionary traders and that is why there are only about 5 or so traders on this forum that make money with them.

They were meant to be analyzed on 4 hour or greater time frames!

If you want to use them on a 5m chart then go ahead and act a fool :lol:

Zero Lines do not signal trades!

Their purpose is to determine direction and areas where there is a low chance of draw down.

IF YOU DO NOT UNDERSTAND THIS PICTURE THEN ZERO LINES ARE NOT FOR YOU:

#3: short, closed at BE
#4: long, closed at a loss
#5: short, closed at a loss
#6: long, closed at a loss

#15: long, closed at a loss
#16: long, closed at BE
#17: long, closed at a loss
#18: short, closed at a loss

I have read the thread 2 times. Body in direction of profit, wick in direction of loss. Body is 2x larger than previous candle. 3 winning trades out of 18. Looks like I don't get this method. Any ideas?

I see, so you wait for the bar that wicked the zline to close and then go long?

Wow MightyOne, now I am totally confused. Looks like the fact that 90% of ZL charts I see in this thread are 5min and 15min is an illusion!

I see that Es/pip enters off 5/15 min ZLs. But now you say that ZLs do not signal trades...

I think I can understand the concept. I see that you combine 6-7 4hr bars into one. And the zero lines are located in the lower half of that combined bar. But I don't understand why there are 4 ZL. And 200 pips stops? This is something new. You always taught that SL should be less than 20 pips and therefore we trade off 5min chart but not 4hr.

Thanks for your answers MightyOne, I really appreciate it!
