You are correct about that, it should be 0.0800 I'll fix it in the first post (that was a typo)

Does any rule apply to filter such trade as on screenshot?

That trade perhaps should not have been taken as I explained, but in the worst case you took it you would be out at 15:34 bar at 163.35 when the fx sniper reached over the 120 level and the AO was in plus with a loss of about 12 pips, not too bad.

I have a suggestion, instead of using a fixed level for FX Sniper's CCI, use variable depending on volatility. For instance: Allow new shorts if, it retraced 20% of the previous high. If the previous high was 290 we allow shorts when it decreased to 232.

Yes, it looks like a worth while suggestion to study and backtest, but in the case of that trade I don't see how it I would have helped you b/c it had retraced already more then 50%. Nonetheless it's still a suggestion to consider

Wookey.
