Merry Christmas!!!

First up, merry Christmas to you all of you leeches. I for one was planning on staying in bed following the Zero on my handy iPhone, but due to some damn TOS data bug I had to roll out of my cosey nest and find a work around. I would curse right here but it’s Christmas, so I’ll tone it down 😉

Some of you are complaining about all the recent changes on the Zero. Well, my dear rats, when do you suggest is a good time to make changes? Exactly – right now nobody’s around which is the perfect time to sneak in improvements, which I have been working very very hard to implement. Probably 200 hours worth of labor in the past two weeks alone. So, please be patient with me – I promise that things won’t change around much further. I will stick with the colors, the layout, the signals, etc.

The 30min chart is gone – I never saw the benefit of showing anything outside the actual indicator chart anyway. This also allows me to size up the ‘real’ chart a bit more – something you vision impaired leeches should be able to appreciate. The signal lines have changed a teeny weeny bit – the exit lines are now pink. Very simple. If an exit line is in the center, exit anything you have running. If it’s pointing up only close short positions – if it’s pointing down only close long positions. Everything else remained the same.

Yes, the alerts have slightly shifted in the past few days as I have been improving the algorithm and also fixed a few bugs. Not a big deal anyway – we haven’t seen a trend for over a week now and probably won’t see one until next year.

I suggest you just let all this sink in and go through the chart to study the alerts. Not all of them are winners but the majority (and the good ones) are. I think considering the flat tape of as late the Zero has held up quite famously in not giving us false alerts that lead us into traps. Actually, the past few days were instrumental in developing a whipsaw alert that senses monkey business and gets us out right away. However, I have also been keen on not optimizing this thing for flat markets. There might be subtle chnages in the future but I really like the alert system at this point – so, if you don’t like the colors you’re out of luck, sorry.

I’m going back to my (hopefully still) warm bed now – will follow the action on my iPhone. But I don’t expect any major moves today. Enjoy your holidays, my dear rats – for we have much work ahead of us starting next year. There are fortunes to be made and I’ll make sure we’ll get our share.

Wishing you a Merry Christmas from Mole’s evil lair.

UPDATE 11:03am EST: I’m stopping the Zero feed for now as there appears to be a TOS data problem, which causes the indicator to not update. Obviousy they are having some issues over there or maybe some of the data I pull does not get delivered today. Will let you know when this has been sorted out.

UPDATE 11:29am EST: I figured out which of the data feeds is broken and unfortunately there’s nothing I can do about this right now. Have emailed TOS support to get this fixed. So, I will keep the Zero feed down for now – my apologies but this is out of my hands.

UPDATE 11:59am EST: Okay, it took me 30 minutes exactly to find a work around to the TOS data feed problems. Zero up and running again. Merry Christmas, steel rats!

That’s right – we do Christmas ‘old school’ down here in the evil lair.
