You have super trend or similar indicator on your charts.
Are you aware that's a repainting indicator?

hi i am exited to share with you all my fractal system , down fractal buy, up fractal sell entry is 5 pips past the high or low example attached, 100 pip is the target and use a 50 pip stop loss {image}
Very good young man, you have read my mind.

Just optimize your time frame and you also need a better indication of a trend than just eyeballing it.

I understand your treatment hasn't been very effective for now. I hope the medical team finally finds a method to help you get better. Best wishes.

here is what i discovered,

if you get a down fractal the first candle to the right should be higher low and higher high , if not no trade

same for up fractal is the opposite sell if there is a lower high and lower low on the first candle right

good luck

{quote} It's the 2nd candle close that define the fractals. If the 2nd candle breaks the fractals, it will simply disapear ... making your entry (if triggered within the 2nd candle) a false entry. The MT4 fractals needs 2 closed candles each side ... to be considered definitive.
So, the main problem from here is that the visual backtest is useless. Simulation or forward test needed only.
Just an opinion. Based on research

1) chart A
2) chart B
3) both charts A and B
4) None of the above

You have 3 lifelines:
1) Ask a friend
2) Ask the FF members
3) Use your 50:50

And finally a new topic! You know that feeling when you're looking forward to reading a great topic, only to find out that it's still the same person churning out nonsense after nonsense.

I saw "fractals" and I was like "woohoo... Might be interesting to read it!" So I opened aaaand! Ohhh... :'(

If you at least tried the "system" but no... What a waste of time..

Seriously you should be banned. (But it's funny as someone already stated so well...ok?) You are not even trying to make something! You just paste repainting indicators on chart and be like "ooooo" this is AMAZING! Why no one else didn't noticed this holy grail? Well, guess what. IT DOESN'T WORK!!!


Oh here's a joke!! Do you guys know, what's jamesagnew body count? Well he doesn't count that. But his forexfactory thread count is currently at 58! Let's see where he'll go!

{quote} James is a good guy.
I think you'll find nobody is questioning whether he is a good guy or not, I am sure he is a nice fella. But the truth of many of his systems (all 58) are that they demonstrate a complete lack of understanding of the tools used, and this is the finest example. The man doesn't trade and can't trade, but seriously- if you have got something positive from his work then I respect you. Maybe you have seen something I cannot see, and I wish you every success.

But I end this by simply saying..... How many traders trade 58 strategies........If your answer is none then what is the motive?

Yesterday was an example where the fractal disappeared after the fifth candle closed.

- there are ways to trade the price fractals as I had learned over many years trading with bar and candlestick charts

- MT4' Fractal indicator painting of the fractal using Bill Williams formula is 'premature' but it has its specific and intended purpose.

I'm not saying he is bad. I'm just saying he is losing time with nonsense, instead of trading real things. Even simple price action will work. No need to invent something that doesn't even work because thing he use repaint as hell.

And yes, I saw functional way of trading fractals but it's not easy as this. That's all I'm saying. Like sorry, he has 58 threads. In a week he'll have 60. All useless. Do we really need to spam forum like this? I'm asking. So just tell me. If you agree or not.
