Quoting BlackeagleDislikedBut SwingMan's indicator is the best one can get re. drawing tops and bottoms which can be used for both reversal and breakout strategies. I compared them with my manual drawings on several instruments I have been trading and they are very very close.Ignored
Just as an aside -- even if manual-drawn vs indicator-drawn are a bit different -- who's to say which is better to use? Clearly indicator-drawn has the advantages of (a) quick, and (b) reproducible. For manual-drawn to be better it would need to be demonstrated in a trading environment along with an explanation. I've never seen that. The anti-indicator crowd (and "boundless thinkers") simply say it can't be done. I suspect the truth lies somewhere in between -- manual, discretionary trading can yield better results, but at the price of tedious drawing and watching a screen for hours on end. Automated (or partially automated) trading may yield results that are "good enough" -- but you can then spend all that free time walking your dog.
