Regarding the wavy lines, do you mean to put the SL at the last candle where wavy lines appeared?
Thank you
Well, I'm new to the thread but I'll 2 cents it until someone else does. :)
NB mentioned that the indicator arrows, lines, etc. were placed in relation to currency pair volatility and to place stops on bottom or top. I took that to mean just on the opposite side of the actual arrow or line, not on the candle extremes themselves.
However I haven't found in direction on stops for the RAD trades. The script puts TP but not SL. I'm using 20 pip s/l and 30 pip t/p
Snaggin' some pips

Just one thing, I trade mainly Binary Options, will HGI be appropriate for it ?
No
Also, what other indis will you recommend to use as something really strong when it comes to filtering out wrong trend signals (big arrows),
If a big arrow is a wrong trend signal then would you really be relying on yet another indi (YAI) to tell you that ?
I trade on M1 with exp. time of 5 min.


What does this even mean ?

Rads are to let you know that a trend is expected to continue. If you are in a trade you can stay in. If you are not in a trade you look for your best entrance on the next swing high/low and set your trade up from that point. Rads are informational not necessarily a trade signal.

Hello Traders. This is my first post. I am Chilean and in training period in forex. A week ago I started to try this indicator, which seems very promising. However I want to check if the indicator repaints. Yesterday I did 2 operations on H4 (audjpy and cadjpy) with 2 huge red arrows. I started the operations after closing the candles with arrows. Those arrows are small today.
Unfortunately I do not know how to insert photos of the operations that bring me doubts. I hope you can help me.
TIA

Just a word of advice dont use the word repaint here. This indicator tells you the conditions of the market at the time it is done. If the market changes the indicator changes and lets you know the market changed. That is not repainting that is informing you the market changed from a strong move to a range move. A strong move you can stay in the trade and ride its strength. If the market changes and you get the small arrow then take your profit because price is not going to run. The indi was designed that way. So if you dont want to feel the wrath of the Mighty Hopwood thrown at you dont use that term. Markets change and this indi will change with it so you can make better decisions in your trading. Good luck

I needed to know if I was right, and so it was. That does not mean that the indicator is good or bad. It simply does not help to look at the historical chart for conclusions.
You were lucky here tonight. Bob happened to be viewing, in a good mood and inclined to reply. You might have caught me first. That would have been bad luck.

As a general rule folks, people using the term "repainting" here tend to demonstrate that they could not be arsed to to even the most basic of reading. Then they come up hard against me. I do not like them.

I trust I make myself clear from time to time? I can always institute some bans if not.

Well guy's I have a massive apology to make :hi: hats off to everyone involved in this especially the main contributors Bob, Steve, Ellixe, Milanese, Baluda etc. I have been researching and trading Commodities and Forex since around 1990 so have tried and tested many, many systems indies and methods. I also have many succesful years experience of pokerbotting bitcoin mining and other crazy stuff including neural nets to make money. Some succesful others wastefully not :roll:

So I came to this forum somehow via some link and started reading, if im honest thinking in the back of my head here we go again another dead end adventure and eventual waste of time. Made some unfounded assumptions about the knowledge of some of the contributors and shocked at the lack of tolerence. I initially made some stupid comments via backtesting thinking I knew what I was doing and was slapped down :o .

So why the appology, well I jumped in and Demo traded HGI and had 12 straight losses, thinking this cant be right and Steves comment "Read the effing manual, ok?" :youknow: was niggling me, so guess what I read the manual several times :idea: . Then read the HGI thread (on page 60 atm) and still getting more and more useful info/setups. this all resulted in me trading this Thurs/Friday (avoided Fridays in the past) and got the following results.

7 straight wins +172 pips whilst unable to screen watch and purely recieving alerts to my Empty4 mobile app :!!:

So I humbly apologise, would like to contribute where I can but will certainly try not to offend. Keep up the good work guys and thanks again. Next step will be to try to get my head around HGB. I will send some donations when the money starts rolling in :good:

Nice to have you on board and you certainly seem to have alot of experience. :good: You will appreciate the posts here as they are clutter free and devoid of hogwash and non sensical posts from traders who have no clue of what they are talking about and arrogant at that, a trait very much out of control in many other forums. Steve is doing a great job in this department.

Looking forward to your inputs.

Cheers
Leon

Me and all the other mods. My approach is not always popular, but it sure saves a lot of wasted time reading crap posted by dimwits.
