MP -- some problems with HA and WPR that i notice.
There are TWO problems involved using the HA candles with the WPR that one should be aware of and can be tweaked to make a much more effective system in my opinion.
HA candles "lag" the REAL price movement because they need to average high, low, open and close, so naturally the price has moved on by the time all this is done. The ONE overpowering candle one should never ignore is a HA DOJI, as this pretty much tells you of a reversal --- another hint with HA candles is to watch their size as they move up or down --- as they DECREASE in size, you are getting closer to the tp point !
The problem I see with the WPR is that it gives no ADVANCE warning of approaching a tp point, which could easily be solved by the addition of an indicator called "support AND resistance". By the time WPR shows a reversal (because you have to wait for each next candle to see if it changes color) it will be VERY late and the price will already be well past your tp point !
with this overlay on your chart, you will be getting an advance warning when youre approaching profit taking and there are a few others, like silverlining, zigzag pointer, super sr7 and super signals.
the last named chart overlays DO repaint, but they repaint because they are DYNAMIC SUPPORT AND RESISTANCE INDICATORS -- you can choose to take profit when they appear, or working on the lower timeframes (such as 1 or 5 minute) watch if another arrow forms above (for longs) the arrow that already formed, because after a slight retrace from the first arrow, the price will go to the next arrow, and so on as long as arrows are formed !
If you are using zigzags, I would NOT enter a REVERSE trade before you actually see the movement taking place, as often the zigzag may continue up a few more pips (although today with GU it was something like 20 pips move )
Understand that when a zigzag gives a reversal signal, that currency may not start its reverse move till the next intraday reversal point, of which the majors are 12 NOON and 12 MIDNITE, EST
of all of them though, the most important to consistent trading would be "support AND resistance", IMO !
enjoy and trade well
your obedient servant
