I tested it for a while and checked the code. It left muitiple dots while it is changing direction in real time. This is a small bug, not repainting. I see no recalculation in the code, so according to the algorithm there is no repainting.

You said it much better than my AO AC explanation. Thanks xecret!

I just looked at the program and I cannot see any recursion of self referencing or shifts that attempt to look at a future bar. My conclusion is that it does not repaint. The random dots are caused by the index buffers not completely being cleared out with each new pass of the for loops.

Haven't seen you in a while since the fractal EA! Works beautifully and still using it every day!

Thanks for your input.

I think this should take care of the random dots. Give it a try and see.

EDIT:Xecret, you beat me to it LOL You have the same solution, just a different place..

Hi chaps, interesting indicator you have here. Been testing it on cable over the last half hour. Not keen on low timeframes myself a bit too whippy but willing to give it a try. I'll let you know how I get on.

I think I need a rennie.....

Just watching the current dot which has flashed from red to blue and back again a couple of times. Hmmmm... I suppose you would have to wait until it closes to take the trade. That dot was 14.48 uk time by the way.

Well, between 15.00 and 15.45 I put on 6 positions and made a net 3 points. I sold when it turned red and bought when it turned blue. But, I was taking every colour change, even while the dot/candle was live so I think I need to do it on the close. Stupid of me really, most systems wait for the candle to close. I'll do some more tests....

You should always wait for the close. Any indi will alternate if it is near the threshold of a signal. It's how the bar ends that matters.

Thanks Pipjunky, I did know that honest, just being a bit thick. I tried 2 more trades after that, I waited for the close. Made 20 pts on the first and lost 15 on the next. That's a one minute Cable chart by the way.

The problem I have found, and this is with many indicators, you should wait for the close but by then you have missed a good chunk of the move or infact the move is over. Still longer timeframes are probably the best way to go.

Incidentally, has anyone compared this to a standard Stochastic. You still get the same signals only earlier which is a good thing but, you get more false signals. Just some food for thought.

I think I'll have some dinner.

I would never use this on a 1 min chart. Anything will give you false signals on the 1 min charts. with filter I used it successfully today on the 5's but as mentioned previously I was looking to use this on the 4 hr.

I tried 1 min as thought someone else was looking a 1 min earlier. I trade for a London bank and am not keen on going any lower than 1 hour, too much noise.

Interested to know what you filter it against? Support, resistence, moving averages, trendlines. It's probably also safer to take the trades crossing up from the 20 level and short from the 80.

Sh1t iv'e burnt my dinner!

hope your dinner is ok. We were running it on the 1 min just to see if it repaints which the conclusion is that it does not.

I plan to use it on the 4 hr charts. Logan, pivots, tls, non lag MA are my filters. As mentioned I plan to use the EA with "Manual Confirmation" so still have to do some thinking. Depending on the testing the thinking will likely only have to be done on TP and altering SL etc.

Wow, that's a lot of filters. Never heard of a "Logan". Must be on the forum somewhere no doubt. I like what your doing Pipjunky, I've always found this forum interesting.

Just ate my dinner, my wife left me boiled bacon and cabbage, I must be in her bad books. C u later.

Not really filters per say. More for targets limits etc. The non-lag and mac colored would really be the only filters.

The Logan I got from a subscription site (I think) for signing up or something.

Here is a pic and the non lag with Logan. I prefer the Logan over Bolli bands.

Doesn't look too bad Pipjunky. I thought it was going to look like the cockpit of a 747. I see your non lag, looks a bit like a 3 period ma. You have fractals on there if i'm right, your Logan indicator which is a kind of variable channel which you use either side or the middle for price targets or stops I guess? Do you line up your cross of the non lag with a change in the DSS for an entry signal?

Oh and thanks for the indi, I'll have a look at it later.
