This indicator is highly flexible and can be adapted to various trading styles. For best results, experiment with the parameters and integrate the tool into your overall trading system.

1, We usually enter the market on a 50% pullback, as this approach allows us to achieve a favorable risk-reward ratio.

2,  For candlestick patterns such as engulfing ones, we have configured a reversal signal, with an optional MACD filter added.

3, Buy dip signal

Given the natural upward bias of the U.S. stock market as a whole, we need to bottom-fish after a certain number of candlesticks have formed post-market open. This serves as a straightforward bottom-fishing signal. You should pair it with other indicators to assess the signal quality and enforce a stop-loss rigidly.

4,  The highs and lows of waves often act as levels of support and resistance. We have added bottom-fishing and top-picking signals based on these support and resistance levels. Always remember to place a stop-loss.

5, Personally, I prefer moving average crossover signals that align with the primary trend, which is represented by wave patterns. Below are the common moving average crossover signals.
