I just got a new powerfull PC and also installed the latest version of FSB. When trying to use optimization or generetaion of a strategy the speed is extremely low. With all other softwares that I use it is much quicker than my old PC but the only exception is FSB. Have you changed anything in the way you built the latest FSB version?

I have started to track results using Fibonacci on FSB just to see how trigger points change in real time conditions. It will take some time to see some solid results since I use long tme frames.

Any news on the no-redrawing Zig Zag formula?

I have checked and indeed entry level changes according to new highs or lows. But I was thinking whether you could change the indicator in a way so that it could produce pragmatic results. For instance when a new buy entry is triggered a new high will occur only when a 38.2% retracement occures. By changing the cause and effect relationship you could prevent the Zig-Zag incicator to redraw the signals.
So if you do that and at the same time we use Close and Reverse as a closing point we would be able to use Fibonacci for future real results as well. Is it possible?

I don't remember why I didn't include "Level" logic for ATR. I cannot see a reasonable  reason for that now. It looks like I missed it. It can easily be added to a custom indicator.


I have been recently examining fibonacci indicator on FSB. As a fibonacci supporter I am trying to understand 3 things:
1. How you set highest and lowest points in order to calculate retracement levels? What is the logic behind it?

I'm using a Zig-Zag indicator for that.

2. How sensitivity works?

This is something like minimum distance between two Highs (or Lows) in bars.


3. Why is this for demo only?

Zig-Zag indicator redraws (moves) the signals. It can set a High today for example, but if there is a higher high tomorrow, the indicator will remove the today's signal. This behavior reflects on the backtesting. The strategies look more profitable when using "Breakout" logic. Probably the strategies with the "Retracement" logic are underestimated.


This indicator is "dangerous" for backtesting. It doesn't show real result. This is 100% sure.
