Hi,
I have tried to use the signals/notifications given by this strategy, but they do not seem to work with current version of Marketscope.
My parameter settings Allow strategy to trade = NO. Show alert = YES
When/if you have time, could you correct this? Thanks.

Hi,
Can you add “Maximum number of positions” parameter to this strategy? I am trying to avoid the dreaded margin-call.
Cheers. flem_wad

Hi Alexander, Is possible to combine two strategies, Advanced Fractal for entry and Fractal trailing stop for the exit? It would be a formidable solution, because i have tested manually on so many pairs the indicator AFBSR and how to stop i used the strategy Fractal trailing stop getting excellent results .. Thanks in advance

Dear Apprentice, I am trying to back test the strategy, with the attached parameters(please see the attached image). Please let me know where I am going wrong. I am testing data for US Dollar, from 27 Feb to 29 Feb. If I am trying to use adv fractal indicator, its showing me lot of signals.
Also, please advice, in addition to above, how can I close my trades, if I use this strategy to auto trade ? Would you help me to correct the parameters ?
Appreciate your help in advance.
Thank you

Hi Alex, excellent job. Please, can you add the use of a Moving Average (ie EMA 55)? To determine the trend and enter or alert only with a BUY (price over the MA) or SELL (under the MA) in that direction. Thank you.

Hi
I was trying to slightly modify this strategy but am stuck at a code where I do a getHistory in a specified from-to period, but somehow all except this one getHistory works. Is there any limitations on getHistory after init block
Thanks Cant paste code here, as it says spam,so can send the file by email.

Can the standard BOTH, BUY, SELL dropdown box be added to this strategy similar to the others so that we can choose if it will take long, short or both types of trades?
thank you in advance

Apprentice,
I just tried to use the advanced fractal indicator with the Strategy Builder but the dialog said I’d not compatible, and to contact you?? I though I could get by using that until the advanced fractal strategy is updated because, the strategy builder has the Both, Sell, Buy option available.
If you cant update it anytime soon then can I see the code and if its straght forward perhaps I can update it

Thanks.

U have probably try to test it within Backtester? If so, by default, it should be set to yes.

What an awesome strategy i am trying to understand the code, is the position opening at the end of the Shift or in the middle of it?
Re: Advanced fractal strategy
Apprentice · Mon Apr 28, 2014 2:50 am
You have to understand how Fractal Indicator is calculated. viewtopic.php?f=17&t=724&hilit=Advanced+fractal Fractal is calculated for ((Number of fractals -1) / 2) periods ago. Therefore signal is delayed by this period. Shift is only an internal loop limit. Fractal + / - 1,2,3 …

Hi,
Is this working with the latest version of Trading Station?
I’m testing this and it looks like I’m not getting any alerts or trades triggering.
Re: Advanced fractal strategy
Apprentice · Wed Jun 24, 2015 6:56 am
Works in Backtester, which instrument, time frame, settings you are using. For Real / Demo trading, be sure to set “Allow strategy to trade” to yes.
Re: Advanced fractal strategy
Stance · Wed Jun 24, 2015 8:52 pm
Sorry my bad I think there was a problem with my trading station app.
I’ve re-installed it and it’s working now.
Would it be possible to add ATR to the strategy and only enter a trade if pip count between fractals is greater than 2x ATR?

Hello,
Is it possible that with different updates the strategy no longer works?
They worked before.

Hi,
I ran a backtest on this and it doesn’t seem to be closing trades? Is this how the strategy is supposed to work or should it close trades on an opposite signal?
