Hi,
Were the trades in your pictures marked up live, on the hard right edge, or after the fact? They look like they were marked up manually, using past data. I believe Fisher repaints the past (someone else can verify?), so if they were not marked up live, they're basicly worthless.

I know that sounds rude, and that's not my intent, but it's true. I know I've made many an "amazing" system by manually backtesting a system, only to find out that my 'dream' indicator repaints the past, and what I have marked up isn't what was there during live trading.

Having said that, it doesn't mean the the combination of indicators you've used can't be made to work, it just means that in live trading the charts might not look as perfect as your pics.

If those charts were marked up live, well then, my humblest apologies. You're on to something good and I'll start testing tonight.

Keris
