filtering? — Hi bbolss, Don't think you need more filtering. Choppy periods always exists and are very hard to avoid. Maybe you can add some support and resistance to avoid going short just above support etc. and to get a feel of a possible ...

alf-mtf — Hi BBolss, I just saw Alf in the thread title so I gave it a look. Every trader has his own way of doing things, also the ones that use Lou G's Alf. So far I think your set-up tpl looks very nice and the mtf version is not such a bad ...

beta — Hi Lou, No problems at all. The candles are great, alf alerts seems to work fine as well, don't use them (arrows) however. Benjamin must be a proud donkey!

IT_candles — Hi Lou, I added them to the chart and they look real nice, less jumpy and sticking with the trend. Don't know how they will react in live trading. Some things look very nice in a static environment but tend to do things different ...

indicators — [quote=Lou G;3797084]While I have no problem with the use of supplementary indicators other than Fractal_Candles_SR_v3, I would prefer that their use does not take over the thread. Lou G Hi Lou, I think you have done a great job ...

Hi Lou, still use the alf v2 candles. The fractal sr candle come back to their original settings when you reload. I did check both of the candle indicators yesterday and as far as I can see they are the same color wise (or not?). The problem is that ...

entry — Can someone please explain when to enter a trade with the new candles. I am a little cofused about this. Do we wait till the bar close so the color won't change again or do we enter once we have color confirmation in the trend/alf ...

Hi Lou, How do we have to view the new alf candles? Do you wait for a black bar to turn red and a white bar to turn green, or do you wait till the bars close because it can change colors again during it's formation? Thanks pbb

exits, maybe a little of topic — Hi all, Just a suggestion to consider for exits for the ones that maybe not always have a good pa feeling (like myself). I use a combination of pivot lines and fibo expansion. Fibo expansion you can find under ...

Sorry, but I wouldn't go that far to say what's best or not. I guess it's more like what suits an individual. Looking at past data for the London session (or part of it) there are plenty of days that would have been great on a 15min interval and ...

nice to see you back — Hi Lou, Was with your prior thread from the beginning and really liked the way you managed that, just so straight forward. I am looking forward following this revisited thread and will reread a bit from "Trading Chaos" ...

kino span — I like the indicator, is there a post on FF where you introduced it. I like to see what the logic is or some set ups in the past when you started using it. Thanks again, great indy! Well I see the logic now and have to say that the ...
