Today I would like to post an AFL that i found suitable for Commodities trading. This AFL plots valid entry points and stop loss. However I suggest the stop loss can be followed suiting individual risk levels.I systematically adopted and traded with discipline this could be good tool for trading commodities. This AFL is also applicable in other markets too. But I find it more comfortable in commodity trading.
I am not the author of this AFL. I found it in the internet, and modified it to look better.
Happy trading
