PLEASE - either identify yourself as beta tester or post a chart along with your question so I know which candle version you're using...

Thank you
In fact, anyone with a question should post a chart if the question is chart-related.

Posts like " I have a problem, candles are not right...." and do not include currency pair and time frame are very hard to respond to.

In addition to this, I'm also trading...

It's working fine - look back to Friday. There have been no bear candles since then on GY.

Hope you've been long since then - you can buy us all dinner

H LouG,

First of all I'll confess to being a luker, and enjoying testing out your indi's. Thanks to you and the coders for all your input.

I am currently beta testing the IT_Candles, however I am having the same problem as others regarding the candle colouring. I cannot seem to get any all-red bear candles to show up see attachment. Luckily GU and EU it is all up today so only green candles required :-)

Hope you can help

N.

Hi Lou, yes Instant trendline is on, removed everything else to make sure there was no interference. Still not working?
Have never had any problems with any of your indies!!

Hello, what are the blue/red lines in the charts (post #533)


@Nick'em, can you share your indicator on the huge price and the candle time? Thanks!

Open the pair you want to see - chart will default to H1, green on black.

Set color scheme to black/white.

Set background to something neutral but not glaring.

Set Grid color to something contrasting so you can see the bid line.

Add indicators.

Save as template so you don't have to do this all over again next time...

Probably Instant_Trend - you don't need it on the chart (unless you like it).

It simply has to exist on your system so IT_Candles can find it.

Fractal_Candles_SR_v3 (if you're using the original setup) doesn't need it at all.

Lou G,

Hi, I noticed after I took off the dotted lines, it keeps on coming back every time I changed timeframe. Is there a way to turn it off?

I get confused with those lines... hehehe ... what is its significance, pls?

Thanks for a great system and all your efforts!

The last gazillion posts have been chart/indicator related. This is okay (I guess) but let's see something trading-related - that is what we're here for.

Standard ALF_SR setup is in Post #1, including template.

Beta testing needs IT_Candles.ex4, Instant_Trendline.ex4, ALF.ex4 and ALF_IT.tpl. Get those from the paperclip icon.

Hi LouG,

Thanks for your template, however I still get the same problem,
with this template, no red bear candles

All your other indi's work great.

sorry to be a pain.

@Lou G, I am a certified LouG/ALF fanatic now!!!

Made my first ever ALF trade, and won with 6 pips ... hahahahah!


Enter a bit late, just went online now, and close at the first sign of retracement. After reading ALF thread 1 (old) and this new thread, I need to put in more screen time now.

Of course, I hope to understand more, so I will comprehend the charts more as I stare and backtest them.


Kudos!!!


@Nick'em, thanks! That was quick!



More pips to all of us!!!

... which is typical Monday, absent news.

Time to get your setups correct, so if PA actually goes anywhere we can concentrate on trading

I have original setup on demo, beta setup on live account, running simultaneously - just a suggestion.

and at the risk of appearing dummer and dummer, I have applied beta-test template to H1 Gbp/Jpy chart and red candles are not being produced, looking back to April. Lou, it looks as though the down candle color setting is not holding in the IT_Candles indy.

The day so far:

Long at point A, good for +80 or so.

Counter-trend at point B. If you took it, good for +20.

Long at point C, good for +20 or so.

This is on beta setup, same results on original setup.

Point A was during London session, so I was not awake yet, but I know many of you were, so it's included as an example - Brits get all the good trades

Don't know the reason for all the problems - I was very busy today trying to trade plus field all the posts - perhaps I screwed something up (or you guys did).

No matter, here is the beta setup (assuming you already have ALF.ex4).

Add ALF_Alert.ex4 if you want it.
