Welcome back, its good to hear from you. Apparently your time was well spent. I look forward to working with you again. I'll start testing this week, looks like a completely different aspect & approach to the CSS. I was viewing three BSSs on the bottom of my charts but this Dashboard completely overshadows that process.

Best Regards
Ray

9x9 uses all of the timeframes to measure strength. In order to have all TF's available to the optimizer, you will need to set the Period = M1. Watch the grid in 9x9, if you see 0 in any row, stop the optimizer, set the period to the missing row TF, start and stop it again and then restart on M1.

BigPictureClose was removed as it was giving back to much of the profit. Use TakeProfit, StopLoss, TrailingStop .. ect

Many many thanks for sharing your work.
I try optimize your EA. But in V2 missing variable BigPictureClose.
My results show just 2-3 trades from 2016.12.22 until today. I think that is incorrect, or no?

Many thanks in advance.

Well done on a well thought out system. This almost reminds me of Maddy where we looked for strength over various timeframes. This used to perform well in trending markets and my my did the pips roll in when the trend run was on. Just something to be cognisant of. We could be seeing some change overs on the higher timeframes as far as Superslope is concerned . We are either ranging or the swing is already in progress. Therefore do not despair as the Ea will fall in line. My thoughts would also be not to have the Big picture close on for trade closures but rather have a particlar timeframe for closures Ie the daily time frame change in direction as the closure or whatever timeframe the user selects. You may have lots of small closures when this happens but if the trend run starts you could be in for a great reward.

You are onto something good
Stick to it.
Cheers
Leon

Thanks for reply.
But can you explain me please, where I find 9x9 grid when I optimalizing?
I think, that visualization working only for backtesting...

Thanks.

NewBarTradeTimeFrame = default at 1m which means that second order is opened 1 minute after the

Thinking to put it on 30m. But probably when the trade is opened the 14th minute of the 15m timeframe probably will open the next trade the 1st minute of the next bar but so far didn't test that.

thanks,
