    I wanted you to go though older posts not only because repeating again what was already written here would be boring, but also because reading the discussions and our thoughts when we were developing this might give you an additional value. But there is also a lot of not-that-valuable-information to dig through, as you say, so it's somewhat a double-edged sword I guess.
     

     
    I am not rude to people who are asking for information. I do mock and strongly oppose people who don't know something but they think (or pretend) they do know and thus they don't and won't listen anything and anyone no matter what. That is what s.t.u.p.i.d.i.t.y is and it's the most dangerous thing on Earth, not the lack of knowledge (sometimes people confuse these two things). Actually, when you don't know something and are aware of that and want to learn that's what makes you wise (remember scio me nihil scire).[spoiler=why human s.t.u.p.i.d.i.t.y is so dangerous]Even though there is probably always some person or persons truly evil at the top, it's not them who actually do the evil. It's all those s.t.u.p.i.d people who listen to them. Hitler didn't kill millions, s.t.u.p.i.d Germans did. Stalin didn't kill millions, s.t.u.p.i.d Soviets did. If retard Kim ever stop only empty talking and start doing something, it won't be him who will launch the missiles, it will be s.t.u.p.i.d Koreans. It wasn't retarded Popes or Cardinals yelling "she is a witch, he is a non-believer, kill them, burn them to death" who killed many innocent, it was s.t.u.p.i.d people who listened them. Obama is not really responsible for the damage he is causing, it's s.t.u.p.i.d people who voted for him, listened to him and still keep listening to him. It wasn't Bush who invaded a sovereign foreign country under false pretenses, it was s.t.u.p.i.d brainless American soldiers who do what they are told like puppets. It's always the same, s.t.u.p.i.d mobs, over and over and over again thorough all human history.
    It's not Rothschild, Rockefeller and other retards them alike who are enslaving this world and destroying all the good there is, those don't really do anything, they are old and degenerated. It's thousands and thousands s.t.u.p.i.d people who work for them who are really responsible for all the evil, for billions people suffering. Think about that.
     
    There is a few bad people making up their plots and intrigues, but they themselves don't do anything real. They are the same human being like the others, they are not better or above others, they were born naked and will die and rot naked. The only thing different about them is that they have this strange urge to manipulate, control and enslave other human beings. Their existence is not very surprising, there are all kinds of people so it's to be expected that even such retards will happen. What is a huge surprise, though, is that these retards always find a bunch of s.t.u.p.i.d sheepish servants who for an inexplicable reason are willing to not only listen to them but also fight for them their wars, kill the innocent people and do the harm to this whole world. And until the scientists find out what makes these s.t.u.p.i.d people behave s.t.u.p.i.d like that and listen to those very few evil mastermind wannabes, this will go on forever until the human kind is extinct.
     

     
    Well, no, in general terms it's not hard to understand. As you say, for the new thread the info should be consolidated so I just may as well start writing some brief overview right now:
     
     

    (the following is a draft) 
     
    To understand the OBELs and the reason why they "work" it's necessary to have a basic understanding of how the Options work in general.
     
    For the following watch this page http://www.cmegroup.com/trading/fx/g10/euro-fx_quotes_settlements_options.html and you may also take a look at this formal introduction: http://www.cmegroup.com/education/files/options-on-futures-basics.pdf.
     
    New things we see here is that the price range of the underlying security, EURUSD futures in this case (which is nothing else but a spot EURUSD adjusted by the forward points), is split into levels called "strike". These strike levels are further divided into two types, one is called "call", other is "put". There is also an expiry date.
    Now, traders can write (create) and sell the call and put Options and they can also buy them, thus an Option has its own quote and this price is fluctuating based on several factors (the quote of the underlying, how much time remains to the expiry, perhaps supply and demand etc.; the quote is set by the exchange so whatever it is based on that's just that). So the Options themselves are being traded thorough the trading session, they have their open, high, low and close, as well their own Market Depth via which the actual offers and bids are done. When looking at the already finished trading session the price of given Option is called "settle", that's the information we will need to know later.
     
     
    Simplified call and put Options mechanics
     
    If you buy a call Option for 1350 strike it means that you can request the seller of such Option (this is done automatically via the exchange) to sell you EURUSD for 1.35, no matter what the current spot quote is. You don't have to request it if you don't want to, it's your right, not an obligation. You can exercise this right anytime from the moment you bought the Option up to end of the expiry date (this is true for the so-called "American Options"; there are also "European Options" that can be executed only at the expiry date, not before that; we are interested only in American Options). Obviously, you will exercise your right (you will "call" for his EURUSD) only at the moment when the (spot) quote is above 1.35 so that you could immediately sell his EURUSD on the (spot) market for profit (this all is done automatically via the exchange too, so you just indicate your will to exercise the Option and you get the profit).
    Therefore, your motivation to ever buy a call Option is your belief that the price of EURUSD will rise above the strike level before the expiry date is over. Similarly, the motivation of a call Option seller would be the opposite - he would sell such an Option only if he believed that the price of EURUSD will rise above the strike level not until after the expiry (thus the Option he sold would expire worthless). And, logically, you can only buy a call Option if the current price is below the strike (otherwise there would be no Option seller to buy it from).
     
    For put Options the situation is somewhat reversed. If you buy a put Option for 1350 strike it means that you can request the seller of such Option to buy EURUSD from you for 1.35, no matter what the current quote is. Obviously, you will exercise your right (you will "put" your EURUSD on the table for him) only at the moment when the quote is below 1.35 so that you could first buy cheap EURUSD on the spot market and then force him to buy it from you for more so that you make profit (again, this all is done automatically, you just "click" and get the profit).
    Therefore, your motivation to ever buy a put Option is your belief that the price of EURUSD will fall below the strike level before the expiry date is over. Similarly, the motivation of a put Option seller would be the opposite - he would sell such an Option only if he believed that the price of EURUSD will fall below the strike level not until after the expiry. And, logically, you can only buy a put Option if the current price is above the strike.
     
     
    Options Break-Even Levels
     
    The above was a simplified explanation for buying/selling call/put Options. What was simplified here? We didn't take into account the actual price of the Option. Because if you buy for example a call Option for 1.35 strike, you can't rush into executing it once you see EURUSD at 1.3501 because the profit you would have made would be probably lower than the price you originally paid for the Option, so the expense would be bigger than the income resulting in a loss for you.
    Therefore in reality for a given Option you first need to calculate so called Options Break-Even Level (OBEL, in short), that is the price the underlying security must at least reach so that if you executed your Option at that very time you would end up at break-even (income = expenses = 0 profit). The calculation itself is obviously very simple, you either add or deduct the Option price from the nominal strike level.
    For example, for 1350 call Option the OBEL is 1.35 plus the price of the Option. That is, the EURUSD must rise not only to 1.35 but also a little bit higher so that if you execute your right to buy EURUSD from the Option seller for 1.35 and you sell it immediately on the market your profit would be equal to the price you originally paid for the Option.
    Similarly, for 1350 put Option the OBEL would be 1.35 minus the price of the Option, so that you will be only interested in executing your right and thus selling your EURUSD to the Option seller for 1.35 if the market falls below 1.35 by that much that the profit you would have made would be equal to the price you paid for the Option.
     
    So in other words, if you bought a call or put Option and now are thinking about executing it, you don't really watch the nominal Option level (strike) but the OBEL because that's the very point when (if exceeded, either up or down) you would start making an actual profit.
     
     
    Now it should be clear why OBELs are so important. All those who bought Options want the underlying to cross OBEL from non-profitable (worthless) zone to the other side. All those who sold Options want to prevent just that. To better understand this it will be useful to look how the buying and selling of Options differs and who is a typical buyer and typical seller.
     
    If you buy an Option you pay a little price. That's either the end of story (nothing more will happen, you won't execute the Option) or, if the underlying crosses the OBEL, you exercise the Option and have profit. So your possible loss is limited only to the original Option price, it can't be any higher. Your possible profit is unlimited, you don't know by how much the underlying rises or falls above/below the OBEL until the expiry is over.
     
    If you sell an Option the situation is exactly reversed. When you sell it you get a little money immediately, that's the price you sold the Option for. This money is all your possible profit, you won't get anything more. Now either the underlying will not cross the OBEL and thus the buyer you sold your Option to will not execute it (and thus nothing else will happen to you thus you end up in profit), or it will cross and he will execute and you end up in loss. Your possible loss is unlimited, the same as his possible profit.
     
    From the above it is clear that buying Options is relatively safe because the loss is limited. Anyone can buy an Option, there are no special requirements. However selling Options is not that safe, therefore to avoid a situation that you would be insolvent and unable to fulfill your obligation towards the Option buyer, if you want to sell an Option you are logically asked to maintain a certain deposit in your trading account. On the other hand if you are selling Options you get immediately some money that you can perhaps use for something else so that maybe even if the OBEL is crossed and your Options executed and you must fulfill and have loss, maybe that loss won't be that significant if in the meantime you have made a profit elsewhere using the money you got by selling these Options. In any way, Option sellers typically will be the bigger players, institutions, banks, whereas Option buyers will be smaller fish. But there is no reason why the bigger players couldn't be also the Option buyers and if the smaller players have enough money there is also no reason why they couldn't be the Option sellers too.
     
    So we have these big and small Option sellers and small and big Option buyers. Now, some big players, or group of players, have power to move the (underlying) market, that's nothing new, we can see it every day on the charts. So it should be not really surprising that there are players who do both - trading (and manipulating) the underlying while trading the Options at the same time, i.e. selling call Options and then trying to keep underlying below the respective OBELs, or selling put Options and then trying to keep underlying above the OBELs, or buying call Options and then trying to push underlying above OBELs or buying put Options and then trying to pull underlying below OBELs. All variants are possible and you can see battles around the OBELs every day. Keep in mind that these are American Options which can be executed anytime. And also keep in mind that there are wide spectrum of players (scalpers as well as short, middle and long term traders) so even if the OBEL is crossed and thus the respective Options become worthwhile that doesn't automatically mean that the battle is immediately lost because not everyone will hurry at that very second to immediately execute his Options. That's why some battles continue and sometimes the underlying is even pushed back to the worthless side of the OBEL.
     
     
    Being said all these basics you now need to think about it and use your common sense. Just because this is certainly possible to happen and is indeed happening it doesn't mean that it must happen or that it will happen every time. Guessing which Options are being sold or bought for these speculative purposes and thus around which OBELs you can expect the "sure" battles is the tough part. Also, sometimes a cigar is just a cigar so not every move of underlying around an OBEL must necessary be a result of manipulations and battles orchestrated by Options players.
     
    So in conclusion, there is no magic to the OBELs, it's just a tool, rather a simple tool, that could help you if you learn how to use it.

     
     
    Does this basic overview make sense? Please comment so I can polish this text.
     
    Also, while writing this I realized what I was missing, the "mystery" I mentioned in my previous post, that is why OBELs calculated from yesterday matter today. It's actually very logical. The reason is that when you buy or sell Options you calculate OBEL at that very time using the Options cost you either had to pay (being an Option buyer) or you received (being an Option seller). So this particular OBEL will be valid for you from now on all the way till the expiration.
    For example, yesterday you sold EURUSD call Options for 1350 strike. The price of these Options was $x, that's your income, so you calculated your OBEL and found out that the "decision point" for you is 1.3530. As long as the spot market price is below 1.3530 the one who bought Options from you will most probably not execute them and even if he will and you will have to sell him EURUSD for 1.3500 you will still end up in profit. Only if the market price rises above 1.3530 and the Options you sold are executed only then you will end up in loss. So 1.3530 is your OBEL and this is the OBEL that is valid for you for the whole time until the Options expire. Thus if you are a big player you will try the whole time to prevent spot EURUSD from exceeding 1.3530, no matter what the price of 1350 call Option is today or tomorrow or any other day. You already sold or bought your Options so for you only your particular OBEL from that time matters. Makes sense?

    Thank you.
    [spoiler=a bit of (un)related rambling]I just hate all those scammers, all those pathetic jesters who are incapable to achieve anything honest by themselves, all those arrogant bastards who all they know and all they do is just trying to scam you for the last penny you have. This human garbage can be found in every area, that's nothing new, but here in trading it's just really inhuman. As if it wasn't enough that you are trying to make it in the world's riskiest market, there must be these creatures who undermine you even further. It's everywhere - from fake brokers offering you fake trading, through all those fake e-books, webinars, strategies and methods up to all that fraudulent software with nonsense indicators and robots. This includes the forums as well. Vast majority of the trading related forums are simply cash cows for their owners. You can spot it quite easily - they censor, ban or otherwise get rid of everything and everyone that doesn't fit into their schemes and tricks. That's why I like this forum, it's like one of the very last oases in the otherwise totally twisted and corrupted world.
     
    All this human trash they could never make a living by their own trading but they will endlessly try to convince you of the very opposite - they will do everything to pretend how successful and experienced and knowledgeable traders they are. It's all fake, it's all only about appearance. Look at Madoff, look at Dreier, Ponzi or anyone else of that sort. They all admit that the key to successfully scam people (at least for a while) is in the appearance. It's not that difficult to check which of those pseudo-companies are real and which are just a fake. Just check whether they really exist, in what country, where they have the seat, the offices, check their public records, their accounting, whether they pay taxes, what well-known companies they partner with, how many employees they have, what kind of employment contract they provide to their employees and whether they offer them a standard package of benefits including the pension plans. One of the attributes that makes a company the real and trustworthy company is whether they are trustworthy employer in the first place. If you do this checking you will find out that most of these "companies" are fakes, either don't really exist or exist only on paper, have registered seat somewhere offshore where no honest company would ever register a seat, have either no offices at all or some small dirty office in some dirty office building, have all their support services being outsourced, have all their IT rented, have either no or a very few employees (and of a suspicious look and history at that). Often it's basically a one-man show operating from some lousy garage who just rented all that, paid to some kid to make a website, paid a license fee to Metaquotes, can't speak English and is dumb enough to not even hire a proof reader to make sure all the text have proper grammar. To even further lower their expenses they hire someone from Asia to write some non-working software and voilà. Then they make a few carefully selected and redacted screenshots and videos and they start spamming with their scams all the forums and infinitely repeat their lies until people start talking about it as it was the truth.
     
    Everything in the trading software and services area, except maybe a few rare exceptions, is a scam and their common goal is to get your money before you lose all of it on your own in trading. That's how they look at you: as a worthless retard who will lose everything anyway so they just want to get at least some of your money before that happens. Now, don't get me wrong, I of course don't support anything illegal in general, but cracking and sharing the software that will most probably turn out to be just another fake? Hell yes! Anything to lower the income of those scammers, anything to reveal their scams. I have no doubt no one would mind paying for a software that actually really helps him to make money, but about what software of all this plague of garbage can you honestly say that? I am involved in some security stuff within my work where I have to deal with the criminals so I know how they think, know their mentality (or rather their mental sickness), but I must say I have never encountered such ruthlessness and cold-bloodedness as in the world of high finance. So if I can do something to undermine them, for once, to crack some of their scam software or make some software for you, and have time and resources for that, I will gladly do that and I will take great pleasure in their pain and their desperate barking and efforts to harm or defame me, because people are not that incompetent to not see it through and not realize who is trying to genuinely help them and who is just trying to leech off them.
     
    I am not a trader, I stick to mine (sutor, ne ultra crepidam), I couldn't do that, I wouldn't have guts to do that and I truly admire all of you who are trying to actually do that. That's why it makes me so mad that in your almost impossible task you are attacked from left and right by all those scams. As a programmer I do and program as agreed in the contract and that could be all I could care about, but I always try to go an extra mile and make sure that what I do is actually useful, that the clients are satisfied and happy with the software. It's not only about programmer's pride and reputation but this client approach is what lay the grounds for mutually profitable long-term client-supplier relationships. I don't want you to use my software if it's not helpful to you, even if it's for free. And if I ever ask you any money I would tell you twice "don't pay me a single cent unless you are sure that the software will help you", even if the price was only a few dollars, it's not about the price, it's about the principle. But those scammers they don't care about any of that, they are just pure marketers. They simply figured that if they fabricate this junk product or service, set this price, invest this into advertising and get this level of refunds they will be profitable. At least for a while. So they just go for it. All the risks are already accounted for. But can you actually call something like that "a business"? There are countless marketing tricks and schemes you could use to get rich quick. As well as there are countless books and guides where you can actually read and learn all about it and thus quickly recognize when you see one. Oh, well.
     
    Anyway, you surely have something to look forward in the upcoming weeks so stay tuned.

    San4x, I know I told you that it would be great to release the fixed OBEL-engine with the fix applied to all instruments in the engine because fixing only the EURUSD and leaving the rest non-working may be confusing and deluding for people here. But I don't want to "terrorize" you by forcing you doing that, especially if you don't have time. Maybe as a compromise you could release what you already have with the working EURUSD as a "special version" now and then, if you find time and will feel like it, release the "full version" later. Just please rename it so that it's clear that it's only for EURUSD (like "OBEL-engine_EURUSDonly" or something), write a few words about it and the fact that the fix is not by me in the beginning of the file and perhaps comment out the external variables allowing to turn on the other (non-working) instruments (make them permanently switched off). That should be quite quick and no-brainer for you and the guys will get at least something working right now.
     
    On a separate but related note, the CME is watching closely this and other activities related to (mis)using their market data and they are ready to take action once someone tries to profit from it without being their authorized distributors. This is especially towards the reselling, not when you yourself get the data directly from their public website and try to use it as an advantage in your own trading. That was also one of the reasons why I designed OBEL-engine as a fully stand-alone self-sufficient tool that isn't using any intermediate service, free or not, so you definitely should not need to worry.
    For this reason I will bury the OBEL logic deeper into my UDC FAT so that it will serve only as an internal supportive mechanism to help classify the UDC Levels data. The result should be much clearer and more relevant picture.
     
    I started some conceptual work on the sample code for a native UDC FAT client for Metatrader, as I indicated earlier, and I think I will be able to achieve latency around 200-500ms so that's surely a good news. Of course this is only just for the current "preview" phase, the final solution will have much lower latency. I also managed to create a synthetic quote stream, including a simple DOM, from several external data sources and it's (not really) surprisingly faster than vast majority of data feeds you get from your average retail trading platform, so funnily (or rather sadly) enough even despite the mentioned latency you maybe will get the EURUSD quote faster from my client than from your own broker, and definitely with a higher frequency.
    Even with the native client out I will most probably keep the visualization website running so that you can have a peek from anywhere (I like checking the web from my android phones), it needs only around 0.5 Mbps bandwidth so it should be acceptable even for some slower mobile Internet connections, and the working hours will get broader from the current 05:00-22:00 GMT to 00:00-22:00 GMT (the native client will run of course nonstop 24/5). The same goes for the length of the respective recorded videos that will be uploaded to YouTube almost immediately at 22:00 GMT without any further delay.
    A lot of exciting news..

    Sounds like a great and generous offer...!
     
    On another note: been testing the EURUSD on the adapted OBEL-engine and it's working nicely. I have been buried in projects at the moment but hope to find some time soon to adapt the code for the other pairs and will post the updated engine here.
     
    Cheers, San.

    There is a review of this on Systems For Traders website. Evidently its based around Gravestone and Dragonfly Dojis on the Daily Charts.There are some filters and it doesn't generate many signals but is profitable.Well overpriced as this type of Price Action set-up is available everywhere. Agora always overhype and overcharge imho but do give refunds ok.
     
    Hope this helps.

    Definitely, except you don't get that information in case of spot forex. The "volume" you get from your broker is a ticks volume, a mere number of times the price changed within given timeframe. On top of that a vast majority of brokers average quote stream, and each of them does it differently, so you get less ticks (thus lower ticks volume) than in reality.
     
    If you are thinking that ticks volume is the same as the real volume then you would be wrong, just because something looks similar doesn't mean it is the same. People (including those various pseudo-experts) very often confuse similar look with correlation. Correlation must involve dependency otherwise it's not correlation. There is no dependency between the ticks volume and the real volume. It's the same as if you said that every time you go to work it's daylight therefore it's daylight because you go to work. No, it's not. Neither it's true the other way around - you don't go to work because it's daylight. Those are 2 independent events that just often happen to occur at similar times.
     
    If you are referring to Gavin Holmes (of the VSA theory) who is rather aggressively trying to persuade people that the spot ticks volume is the same as the currencies futures volume, or if you simply want to guess spot volume by looking at currencies futures volume, then you would be wrong again as the currencies futures and anything what is happening on that market have no direct influence whatsoever on spot forex for the simple fact that the currencies futures quote is derived from the spot forex quote. The exact CME formula is: currencies futures quote = spot forex quote +- forward points. First the spot forex quote happens, then it is replicated onto the currencies futures market. So any kind of typical futures analysis (DOM, market profile, volume) is entirely nonsense in case of currencies futures and can not predict or assume anything because currencies futures quote changes when, and only when, the spot forex quote changes.
     
     
    Of course all those scammers who are trying to sell you books, webinars, various subscriptions, software, systems and whatnot will not tell you any of this. Although some of them are getting more careful these days. Typically during a seminar presenting some amazing futures software or strategy etc. an obvious question arise: "will this work on forex as well?" and the presenter instead blatant "yes, of course" often these days answers something like "well, I don't know forex, I don't trade it, but I don't see why it shouldn't work". So they just purposely play s.t.u.p.i.d, which is a good strategy actually because it helps them protect themselves against false-advertising lawsuits.
