I've indicated GBPJPY and EURJPY there, let's concentrate on them for a second.



I haven't been able to be in front of my computerscreen and follow this up closely, but it seems a bit weird that both the entry conditon and exit condition happen so quickly, one right after another.. It may really be that SuperCSSDiff{H4} is much more reactive than I suspected and thus that Min_SuperCSSDiff{H4} = 0.8 as a constraint for both entry and exit is simply too weak. Therefore I'm going to up this to 1.3 for both and hope that it holds. Can anybody confirm that he/she has seen superCSS{H4} being volatile enough to swing from positive to negative values in relatively short periods of time?

The 7LWMA is not exactly the same since the CSS is based on TMA slope as far as I am aware but looking back with the 7LWMA is as close as we can get visually without filming the TMA in real time.

When there is a CSS cross on the current candle then I think price is crossing the MA essentially and we know there are plenty of ocassions with plenty of whipsaw where price is trying to pick a side. Even though you are not using 0 point as price approaches it is the same deal. I am not sure what the solution to this will be although using a closed candle for exits (shift 1) may help?

Not sure if this helps but if you have both the CSS H4 Diff Entry and Exit min set to 1.3 would that not cause the open and close to happen simultaneously?

It is a bit tricky to explain the exit functionality but in this case having Min 2 it means that it must pass 2 on the other side.
Let me explain:
In normal Diff and Min=2 then if Currency1 - Currency2 > 2 it means a Buy.
In corresponding Exit Diff and Min=2 if Currency2-Currency1>2 it means CloseBuy.

I may rethink the meaning of the configuration if it is not logical to grasp.
Maybe I should change it to your thinking that in case of a Buy if it reverse to -2 then it should Close then it would be natural with Min=-2
If I understood you right then you have a good point and I will consider changing the meaning.

If you downloaded 5.19 last Friday then you should download this 5.20 instead.

Well that's what I tried at first but received lots of those errors nonetheless. I then asked Mathias' help and he wrote me this:

Maybe I'm something missing in the other settings??

Cheers,

Mathias I've just detected another such closure:

Have you reversed the logic perhaps?

Cheers guys and thanks for your magnificent work Mathias!
