Happy and prosperous New Year to all of you wonderful people!

P.S. Is there a chance of coding options to switch off RAD, yellow Wavy and range arrows?!
Cheers!

If that is what you want, just change the colour of the signals to that of the background in the input. I would strongly recommend keeping them.

I don't underestimate the power of anything in this indi. I know that Bob has a reason why all the arrows are there. I would just like the option of switching things off, since I'm not looking for those small range trades.
I never asked for anything to be removed from the HGI.
I like Heiken Ashi candles so i don't really need RAD's.
it was just an idea for those of us that don't trade small moves,that's all.

Rad aren't range arrows though, they show trend continuation. Using pending orders, i think they're more successfull than big trend arrows. Often times big trend arrows appear only after i'm already in the trade using rad. Rads are also easily stackable. To each his own though, best of luck

Go here and use the 240/60. That was the precursor to HGI.

HGI can be adapted to suit every individual's style of trading.

Just that the wavy signals gives you advance warning that the trend is running out of steam, time to get out.

The Rad signal tells you that the trend has legs and is likely to continue. So, hang on in there for more pips. Also, if you see a Rad signal on the H4 chart, use Steve's STO7 trading aid to catch the retracement, no need to sit around watching the screen, just let the ea catch the trade if there is a retracement, and very few failed ST07 trades compared to when there are no Rad signals present before hand.

The range arrows are a good way of taking your profits from your Trend trades.

Btw, wavy signals of any colour plus any other signal makes for a great trade, just watch and see if you agree before ditching them. Besides, they are Trend reversal signals in their own right, especially the Blue wavy lines. I use the Trend buy/sell scripts to take the trades with instant market order and further pending trades at the next .20 lines, just like I would with the Big Trend arrows, equally effective.

Just my two cents. As I said before, you can use HGI whichever way you like to suit your trading style. NO ONE SHOULD TELL YOU WHAT YOU SHOULD OR SHOULDN'T DO.

Just like you, I initially removed them because too many signals are over whelming. But I have since discovered their true value.

This is one of my trades before I got HGI. As you can see, I would've taken more trades out of the same move using trend arrows.
I would not suggest to anyone to try and "improve" Bob's HGI. It is a trading system on its own! My problem is that I'm used to my style of trading so I don't want to change it cause it works for me,but anything that can confirm and simplify my decision making process is more than welcome. This is why I asked for blue wavy and trend arrows option. It's just to make things easier for me,that's all. Thank you Bob,keep up the good work mate. You're an inspiring man. Cheers.

P.S. there was a blue wavy just above the candle where I entered short, it is not visible on the pic though.
