Hi All Last code adaptation to fit more pairs : New one is AUUSD. This one go quicly to Stoch D1 OBOS. So I have added a module to add trade if - Stoch D1 OBOS zone - but STOCH H4 confirm trade ( for Buy Stoch H4 UP and < param level for SELL Stoch Down and > param level ) Modification of module : Close on Friday : Take the best trade for partial close (not the first one) Code: Select all Modification of Module Close on 3 MACD : add a level mini delta pips between MACD Main 1 and 3 Code: Select all Take Trade Buy/Sell 1 - added for pairs like AUDUSD : filter with STOCH H4 2 - added filter for BUY on Stoch SLOW 1 < Stoch Slow 2 and for SELL on Stoch SLOW 1 > Stoch Slow 2 3 - added Minimum Level for MACD Main to take trade -> avoid range zone BUY Code: Select all Code: Select all |

Bonjour Phil, Really like the S/R detection filter. I had just one question on this. If I understood it right, you check whether pa falls within X points from the S/R zones calculated by the S/R indi. If it does it would validate your trade or not. Is the number of retest of the S/R zone embedded within the EA logic or do you consider that the other filters (MA + STOCHS) will take care of these situations. My point is that the "strength" of a S/R zone should decrease with the number of retest of that zone. I would usually not consider a S/R zone that has been tested more than once or twice. Sorry if the answer to my question is obvious or can be found within the coding you have already posted. I don't have the skills to find my way through coding jargon yet. Cheers, Ben |

Hi Ben S/R are used to avoid trade if Bid too near S/R zone (param pips) and only if strengh zone >= 4 I again have to refine these parameters. Could you developp this please ? S/R indi increase strengh with the number of hits, so I avoid trade too near. If I understand you well, you consider the opposite ? cheers Philippe |

Watching with interest guys - looks very interesting and I love the name I have to say that there are conflicting theories re supply/demand and retests. Most theories say that supply/demand create support/resistance areas because when price has moved from that key area in the past orders accumulate there expecting a retest. Even when considerable time has passed the order flows still remain. Then it gets less clear - some will say that on the retest the supply or demand (effectively the waiting orders) will kick in creating S/R and once seen as confirmed S/R more orders are placed at that area thereby strengthening S/R and repeated retests reinforce that. Others will say that it starts that way but each successive retest will attract fewer orders and therefore it becomes weaker. Bottom line imo is that if it works (and it certainly seems to be working) then don't mess with it ("if it ain't broke don't fix it") Cheers, Dave. |

..and it gets worse when the zone is "almost" restested, i.e. price bouncing near it, but still not penetrate it. Some says the order flow's getting weaker still your zone hasn't been really retested by price touching it. So evaluating the weakness of a zone is an art by itself. That's all words. Look at this GBPCAD resistance : ![]() Tested 34 times |

I agree with you - in my experience it is best to assume resistance will hold until it doesn't. The point I was really making is that what you have done works so no need to try to "fix" something that works. Have a good w/e. Cheers, Dave. |
