FGDI MT4 (download link) - Trade if red line below 1.8 Details

Great indicator to filter out flat/non-trending markets to prevent whipsaw trades. Good example of an indicator that can help cherry pick higher probability trades.

Must combine with other indicator(s) to give buy/sell direction, as this indicator is about saying whether to trade or not, rather than direction. Note, not compatible with Indicator Matrix or Dashboard as doesn't have a direction component. Note, the default description for this indicators says need value below 1.5. However, in our testing, below 1.8 is much better as both improves profit and decreases draw down.

Lighthouse Details

Note, this indicator doesn't give buy/sell direction, just whether should trade or not, so needs to be combined with another indicator that does give buy/sell indication. Note, we recommend setting Priority=HighAndStart as this can cherry pick trades, where waiting for Lighthouse doesn't delay entry. Note, from our tests Lighthouse doesn't seem to work very well retrospectively, i.e. when looking back, so stats may show very few/no trades.

PipFinite Exit Edge (MT4/MT5)Details

By default will exit on normal or strong. If want to exit on strong then change Color Index, via CONFIG button | Indicator Values to Capture, to 3,2. To exit normal only set to 1,0 IMPORTANT: Untick 'Use for Exit' for other indicators if you just want Exit Edge to control exit (in addition to any SL/TP)

Top Tip: It's always a good idea to include exit indicators in entry as well, so the system doesn't try to open trade if would immediately exit! However, if you tick 'Use for Entry' on Exit Edge then will need to reduce Entry Threshold in CONFIG | General Settings, accordingly, as Exit Edge normally signals nothing. So, if have one other indicator than Exit Edge then set Entry Threshold to 50, if have two other indicators then set to 66. This will allow trades even though Exit Edge isn't signalling anything. ALSO set Priority of the entry indicators to High (excluding Exit Edge), so doesn't open trade because of Exit Edge!
