BALUDA'S SUPER CSS-2.0. THE SIMPLEST TRADING SYSTEM EVER

[VirtualFM]

It exists. Here:
viewtopic.php?t=4735

(well, I guess that's what he is looking for, it's not actually Baluda's CSS but the general All Pairs Currency Strength)

Someone made an upgrade with buttons but I don't like it because I think the buttons should be in the main window and not in the sub-window. Also if there are other indicators in lower windows, like RSI or WPR, the buttons go there instead of the main chart window or the CSS Window.
I would change it, but since I already changed the "normal" "10.7 CSS.v3.8ps_withAlertsCross" I don't want to mess with it.

Anyway, it's in this page:

I appreciate that the thread is fairly inactive, but thought it worth reminding folk (or highlighting it to newer members) of this indicator. I've used it in the past but struggled with the number of signals. Recently I was looking for something to confirm that the setup that I was trading had some momentum behind it, and having played around with a few indicators, remembered this one. I started retesting last week and it was great at confirming there was some weight behind a move. Below are some charts showing the thinking behind a couple of trades this morning.

First the D1 chart

The blue horizontal lines are monthly highs, lows and close. I use 3 MA's, a shorter one a medium one and a longer one (20,50,200 ema's but I don't think the type or duration is critical). The super slope indicator is set to the current timeframe with a slope MA of 21 and slope ATR of 100 (which I understand to be the CSS settings). We are in a downtrend.

Dropping down to the M15 chart there are some 'interesting' things to be aware of...

The market gapped and gaps tend to be filled. Any short traders who had their stops set to Friday's high were hit in the Asian open, followed by the rest of the session in a tight consolidation.

The yellow horizontal lines are the weekly high, low and close levels. The blue vertical lines are on the hour, with the first being 7am in the UK, and about the time I would normally start work. My bias is short.

Dropping down to the M1.

First we see the double top on the way into my 0700 trading window. I missed the first trade, but it is a good example of price action, timing and indicator confluence. After the double top, we get a short signal from SS, the price hits a cluster of lows from the Asian open, pulls back to the MAs. Entries could start in the blue box for a quick (45 minutes) 25 pips from a 5-7 pip stop/risk.

I was fairly certain that the gap would be closed and went short after the first consolidation. This was risky as timing was not great, but I was certain that the gap was going to be filled. We were getting close to the new hour and a significant level (50), but I had a 3 pip sl and took 1/3 off at 1:2, moving the rest to breakeven.

For the next hour price is forming a triple bottom, and a tight consolidation. We then get a higher high and higher lows coming off of the round number level, the MA's are starting to roll-over and we get a second long signal (and based on the angles it looks strong) from SS as price breaks out of consolidation. My bias is still short, so this is a CT opportunity which means I want to be out of the trade quickly. In this case I take 1/3 at 1:2 (6 pip stoploss and 12 pip for TP1), TP2 was at the most recent significant high (stops from short traders), and the 3rd TP was the double top just before the London Open. This was hit in the next hour but I closed it as soon as price stopped the explosive move (my bias is still short on the main trend).

I stopped trading just after 9, having made a small profit on my first trade and a decent 1:2.5 return on the second (in less than 10 minutes). Had I stayed active there was another clear entry around 0945 for another 1:2+ trade. Overall there were 3 decent opportunities using the SS with MAs, observing how price reacts to levels (highs/lows/round numbers) and timing (15 minute and 1 hour rotation).

I was monitoring GBPUSD, GBPCHF, EURCHF too (downselected from a watchlist of 10 or so markets). GU followed a similar pattern but was not so well engineered, while the swissy pairs never looked as clean. The point I'm trying to convey (clumsily) is that what seems to be working is ignoring many of the BSS signals and instead concentrate on the 'good-looking' setups. Then the signal tells me there should be weight behind the entry.

Hello! Anyone using Baluda in 2025?

[Joma]

YES

[ribeiro93]

I'm testing the indicator, and at times it generated false line crossover signals. Is there a setting to show only true crossover signals?

Furthermore, I'd like to know if there's an expert advisor that opens trades on line crossovers based on this indicator?

Hello, please excuse my English, I'm Brazilian and I'm using Google Translate... this is my idea when using this indicator... I see that currencies operate in cycles and regions. Each timeframe has its own time to complete these cycles... below is an illustration of how I'm learning to look at the forex market using this indicator.

The idea for the week is to sell CHF with some currencies stronger than it, or sell with all of them at the same time, as we will have a selling portfolio in CHF.

Note: I'm still learning, suggestions and analyses are very welcome, but understand, I'm presenting my point of view, I'm not here to prove whether it's correct or not, just to contribute and grow together.

NZDCHF is one of the currency pairs where I see it outperforming CHF... I opened a buy order, let's see.

The sale went as expected.

Since the cycles are based on timeframes, the sale on H4 and H1 has already occurred... what should we do now? Either go long, close the short positions, or just wait for the H4 and H1 cycle to rise again so we can sell again along with the longer timeframes (monthly, weekly, and daily)? I'm going to make a correction sale in NZDCHF and we'll see what happens.

Did you learn these concepts from Bonoto?
