Hey there, fellow traders! If you're looking to enhance your trading strategy, you might want to check out the semaphore indicator that highlights identical candles on your chart. This nifty tool shows you candles moving in the same direction across your selected timeframes—think of it as your own personal trading assistant that points out bullish or bearish patterns.
What’s great is that you can use this across all timeframes. Just toggle it on or off for the ones you want to focus on. Plus, it comes with an alert feature that beeps whenever a new arrow appears on your chart, keeping you in the loop without constantly staring at the screen.
Here’s a quick rundown of what you can do in the settings:
- Filter Arrows: You can choose to display only the first arrow for each direction, eliminating the clutter from extra arrows that might confuse you.
- Signal Timing: Decide whether you want the signal based on the current candle (index 0) or the previous one (index 1). Just a heads up: if you opt for the current candle, be cautious as it may not be fully formed, which could lead to false signals.
Important! If you get a signal from the current candle, it's wise to test it on the indicator tester. Historical data can yield different results, so it's better to be safe than sorry!
Example: TF: M1, M5, M15 with shift = 1, Only signal change = true
