Amibroker AFL with Buy Sell Signals


















I am posting another AFL, which can be useful to plan your trades. This AFL is particularly useful for traders who do swing trading. In swing trading the trader prefers to wait for a trading signal based on confirmed change of trend. This signal can take short to long trading days. In this trading system a trader can safely find an entry point, but waiting for an exit signal can take away some of the gains generated.

Most analyst advice, whenever a trade is entered, the exit point too must be decided based on some criteria. These criteria can be anything from percentage of return to specific price target.

What this AFL attempts to do is it gives an entry point along with a target price to wait for an exit. It also cautions the trader, with a stop loss level. The back ground color can be adjusted to suit the viewing comfort. The chart window also displays a trending ribbon, which serves as a trend indicator. The time frame can be adjusted for daily, weekly or monthly. In every time frame chosen, the entry and the exit points can vary. My opinion is to look for a weekly mode setting, which can give a meaningful value. A word of caution here – deploy this AFL along with other indicators for confirmation of trends. I suggest, the Stochastic Momentum Index for confirmation. I have tweaked the codes slightly to avoid booking profits too early.

Please back test this AFL before taking a call.

Happy trading and best wishes.
