I'm trying to install the ALF indicator set. I got the fractal candles, but I dont have the center line that price is supposed to pass through. Instead I have a line above the candles AND a line below.

I downloaded and installed everything as directed on the first page and checkd it a couple of times. Anyone know whats wrong?

You need to save the ALF.ex4 file in experts/indicators folder and drag it on to the chart.

Question for Lou here, or am I being just dumb? On beta testing of IT candles, what do we do on candles that are black or white? The reason I ask is because on post 558 you say at B trade would have been good for about 20pips, however on my chart all these candles were black including your entry candle, and I thought we only went long on green, short on red. Could you explain entry conditions using IT candles one more time for a simpleton like myself just so that I am clear.
Many Thanks
Geoff
That trade signal shows red on the Fractal_Candles and is also an open below ALF which meshes with the basic entry guidelines - BUT it's counter-trend (which I didn't like).

Some would take it anyway which is why I mentioned it.

That was an EPIC response.
I wish I could say it's original but I saw it on Jacko's journal and in a Bill Williams book before that...

I steal my lines only from the best...

Ok Thanks ...
I hope you don't feel I'm being rude or having fun at your expense - if so, I apologize.

I've earned a reputation out here at FF for being anti-indicator and I enjoy removing unnecessary indicators from charts even more than some enjoy putting them there in the first place.

My Significant Other is the best trader I know (she trades equities) who barely knows what a chart is, much less an indicator, but she is very successful. She shrugs off her occasional losses (some so large that they would make my hair catch fire if I incurred them) as if they did not exist and almost never worries about her account balance.

I'm really not anti-indicator - just anti-more-than-one-indicator-telling-me-the-exact-same-thing.

Anyway, I hope I have not offended you. Many out here will tell you that I will go to great lengths to help others (and they're right), but I sometimes rub people the wrong way.

Any problems, let me know...

... for your feedback on IT_Candles.

Keep in mind that this indicator is an experiment only at this point. I plan on watching it (putting in my screen time) for at least a week or two and, if results are not what I want, it will not replace Fractal_Candles.

Hi Guys, Lou G - thx for sharing attitude and nice work. I would do the same if had any brains

Does anyone else see the tendency that arrows are in pairs – more often than not. First arrow against the trend is usually wrong – the second one with the trend is right and nice move follows?

Btw. Sorry for noob question. What program do you use for browsing forum posts? I got tired of F5-refreshing. RSS is also no good for me since not entire post is shown?

thx in advance

... late in the day. The same ones will also show up using Fractal_Candles.

Based on a glance at ALF (about the same now as at the left of the screen), EU may be ranging more than trending.

EDIT: Oops, sorry - we already did that up trade earlier. ONE more good trade...

Ok, I think I know the problem, when I try to download the file for some reason it downloads as a .php file. Tried downloading it from the first page of this thread and the thumbnail.

Could someone please message me with the correct file in the right extention format?

Hello KumoDragon, download from papperclip at top of this page. Hide images to find only mt4 files.

no problem to save as php. but, after you save it, rename it to what it really is, including the file extension (.ex4 etc.)

then, download the next one from post 1, and so on.

(it took me a few runs around the block to figure that out myself)

Did that I'll try it again. I see the file after I download, I put it in the proper folder and it still doesn't show up in my custom indicators or indicators

Thanks, finally got it. Must have been a file type thing, had a file with exact name and extension in the folder, but when I pasted it this time instead of overrighting it, it made another one right next to it. Strange.

thanks...I wish you were there earlier for me when I was running around the block.


I worry about going back to paper clip because sometimes one must find several paper clips to get all the needed files. This is why I always go back to the original post. Most thread starters always update the files in post 1.

Please correct me if I am wrong.


thanks a bunch

Everything in Post #1 is up to date - the .php thing has something to do with Internet Explorer (I've heard). Works fine with Firefox ( and with Iceweasel which is the Linux browser I use.).
