You know all those traders on the TS forum ( who never share code ) imply the Buy Zone isn't any good because I never provided backtest to prove it to them. They imply since it's not a strategy it has no merit.

Meanwhile, tjmxxx just makes money using the Buy Zone in real time trading with real money... go figure!!

"Could have been much more, but I guess I still don't have my mind right and take profits in even numbers-----LOL. I need work on this!" THAT'S GREED TALKING, tjmxxx - BE CAREFUL!!

SMAA BUY ZONE ENHANCEMENT




I used TRO PLOT to plot the weekly open ( openw(0) ) and I modified SMAA BuyZone to have an iOpen input in the radarscreen.

Notice you can trade the weekly open buyzone all week long. For those who are longer term traders, this is a trade to consider.

Notice how the previous week's open ( white dots ) acted like resistance for the current week!!

ELD attached.

I'm interested in how you determine the ranges for the buy zones. How did you come across AAPL to have its zones +/- 0.10 from open and how did you come up with 0.03/0.04 for forex? Does the same zone you use for AAPL apply for the whole herd you have their TRO?

I used statistics to determine the zones.

Yes, the whole herd uses the same zone.

Buy Zone disappearing off chart

Postby tradecrazy » Thu May 31, 2007 4:35 pm

TRO,
Do you know what could be causing the _TRO_BuyZone to be dissappearing from the chart? It appears briefly when I click on a new symbol but then suddenly goes away.

thanks,
Mark

Trade Zone setup check

Postby Shane280us » Sat Jun 02, 2007 3:23 pm

I've been reading through the thread and trying to understand but I'm having alot of trouble setting up the AUD and I'm not sure if I'm doing something wrong with my numbers. Can somone check my set up for me pse.

I'm getting how the setup works candle green, in the tradezone, go long above open etc, it's just as I swap between currencies and change the set up numbers. EUR 0.0003/.0004 JPY 0.3/0.4 etc. I guess because I've not seen this before I'm not sure what it's supposed to look like. But the AUD does not seem correct so any help appreciated.

The AUD buyzone should be .0003 / .0004.

What are you using?

TRO how do you determine the opening price for each pair? I use QuoteTracker so I have to make the lines manually

Hi Avery,

Do you pull data into Excel or something? Or is TS adequate. I guess you are looking for numbers that historically if they break go for at least X points a high percentage (Y) of times? just interested in learning a bit more about the process used to come up with numbers? I'd like to have a crack applying the concept to other instruments (DAX is appealing)

Thanks :)
