I am scalping tonight on ETHUSD let's see how this goes with MACD and specific algo settings, im going to try to get that 30/40 win ratio @vagrant meadow
@hidden moss Now I’ve always said I only trade SPY & ES so my set up may need adjusted to accommodate other markets. Especially on low volume weekends.
How can i to back to v2.8
@ionic juniper Unless you had 2.8 saved on a chart somewhere I think it’s gone. Why do you need to go back?
The same settings i had on 2.8 look different on 2.9
Cant get it back to how it was
@ionic juniper nothing was changed except the default sensitivity
So just set that back to 4.15
Ok so just use those and it'll be identical
Maybe im trippin
Did you have "Use Heikin source" on?
Yea
Then it's identical
Ok bro thanks
Lmao
What's the settings for trendlines for 15 min 1 hour and 1 day
Need to have settings what use to be in previous versions
Trendlines haven't changed
But I get trendlines different when I change S/r significance
Yes that was the same as in 2.8
0 has changed for the trend lines
Totally identical

i never use to anything with numbrs earlier
so should I keep 0 or 2?
Use 2
2.8 had the same adjustable settings.
🙂
We have you covered with trendlines, S/R ect 😉🥰
got worried when things get changed
Gecko is really proud of the trendlines
Nah in changes we never remove a large feature or largely modify
Cool
Because we know people would have built a system around it 😉☺️
@vagrant meadow hahahaha yes sir 🥰
my favorite part is everything is optional. You don't have to have anything turned on you don't want to. So if I am struggling to understand price movement I can enable s/r & the trendlines to get a better picture, then turn them off when I need to. since I'm mobile 100% of the time the less visuals I have on my phone the easier it is.
Yeah the plan was to try and fit the different types of trader 😎
Some like trading simple S/R, some like signals for confluence, some like oscillators ect
good morning everyone 🙂
🌄
Anybody use this algo to support ICT concepts?
Because we know people would have built a system around it 😉☺️
@empty solar you just know I’ll have a fit if my lower band can’t be coloured.
I’m going to be making a video this afternoon - just reviewing the updates.
Does anyone have a particular question they’d like answered?
Hi together, can someone from the support add me to the vip stuff ?

@hidden moss they show possible tops & bottoms in markets

@latent cradle if you entered username wrong, send a screenshot of it to support
@empty solar just noticed I had £55 taken from my account even though I’m now on a yearly plan?
That'll be an error @wraith relic
Please email support@luxalgo.com
and they'll fix that
Okay cheers will do
I only trade crytos right now. Does anyone from experience have a suggested timeframe to work with? I have been trying to work with 1h and 4h timeframes.

How to set up alerts in TradingView: https://luxalgo.com/apps/help-center#hc-creating-alerts-on-tradingview
So I have finally figured out that to get the candles to be specifically what Lux repaints them to (and not a blend of tradingview colors) I need to turn off candle borders in settings. But how do I get the wicks to repaint per Lux colors?
Or do they just have to be white or gray?
wicks are just white/grey regardless of Candle Color Mode @drifting basin
So the wicks can't be controlled by Lux?
Only the bodies?
This information would be quite helpful for the guide. I had to figure it out on my own. This whole time I never knew how to do that and then I seen the picture examples in the guide and I was like hmm...
Now I see the markets with such clarity!
Yea candle coloring is just for the bodies @drifting basin https://www.tradingview.com/x/pMb100hK/
!candles
Candle Color Modes: https://luxalgo.com/apps/help-center#hc-candle-color-modes
Thanks for that clarification. Maybe wick coloring could be something the Lux team looks at in the future? 😉
hahahah if it were possible 😉
we'd do it
In pinescript it's not supported
only the barcolor() function 😦
Oh I see lol
as soon as it becomes availible yep for sure
So the reference you made to the candle color modes I have seen since I joined with v2.7. However the fact that you have to actually turn off candle body color in tradingview is not spelled out in the guide and hence why I never knew about it.
I always wondered why the color of the bodies had to be mixed and hard to understand lol
This changes the game for me big time!
I perosnally removed candle color
Each to their own 😄
Right. For me they’re like training wheels lmao
Yeah some may like some may not 😉
It's better to build in lots of features that people can use or not use
But we added lots of cool candle color modes 🙂
Agreed
The control color mode is quite useful. Now I can see with each candle who is gaining control
Weekends 🥱
what do the purple candles mean?
!candles
Candle Color Modes: https://luxalgo.com/apps/help-center#hc-candle-color-modes
Purple just means a normal buy/sell is currently active
thanks!
Purple candles also mean trade with caution (if trend change has occured).
yep, since a strong buy could turn into a normal buy (green to purple candles) which would be smart to exercise caution

any trades this weekend anyone?

15min chart weekend scalping super easy on btc
ikr lol
i'm short, so i had a buy limit hit from that but also an alert about price coming 'near' my stop
very confusing for a second
I just now realize that the trade setup feature is no longer? Why was that removed?
It was super generic and we would rather add more unique features into the main script
so we are releasing it for free in the next few days
Oh ok
wassup lmao
What everyone using on the sensitivity 
Anyone trading stock with trading view?
Does anyone know how to add a digital tracker to volume indicator? Like real time volume digitally next to scales?
Something like that?>
Instead of just volume bars, I'd like to see exactly what the volume is currently at
Yes @patent skiff i believe that green label you see on the right is actually showing that
What indicator is that?
yeah im trying to see how to enable it. Thats from someone video on youtube
Not sure if tradingview even has that capability though
@regal drum depends on timeframe. for 1m I use 5, 5m and above i use 3.5
@DeGeNERaTE thank you ScaLpER#4340
Just out of curiosity, how many of you are trading as his main job? Who lives on trading?
Does anyone know how to add a digital tracker to volume indicator? Like real time volume digitally next to scales?
@patent skiff add volume to your chart, then enable "indicator last value label"
Hi, sorry if it has been discussed already..so we should use normal candles instead of HA in the new version ?
You use whatever you prefer
We make the tools, you can use them however you prefer ☺️
Thanks
guys how come i cannot see invite only script on trading view?
i dont have the invite only option
done lol
i had to refresh my profile lol
new user here -- for the scanners here in discord, what signal mode and candle color mode are those using?
Our Discord market scanner alerts all use the following:
- Heikin Ashi Candles
- Default Lux Algo (V2.7 inputs & no toggle options enabled)
- Normal trading hours (no extended hours)
- Main exchanges / brokers such as NASDAQ / TVC / OANDA / COINBASE / BINANCE
TradingView alerts are set per your exact settings, timeframe, and enabled toggle options at the time you set the alert.
Adding the Equalizer band makes it require more confirmation to register a signal as "Strong".
So they were using a sensivity of 4.25
thanks, so it sounds like the scanner settings will be optimized regularly?
Not yet but very soon in the future we will be releasing lots of new content 🙂

hey carmillie you use macd 12 50 9 correct? @vagrant meadow
hey carmillie you use macd 12 50 9 correct? @vagrant meadow
@ocean snow On a 15m timeframe. Yes. Just keep in mind it is a laggard though so there’s always a decent push downward before a bearish crossover. So I think I’m going to make it more sensitive

@vagrant meadow what about 5 min?
and on the 5 min is your lux oscillator set to 50? @vagrant meadow
Hi together, knows someone how long the support needs to reply for the vip groups I get until now no feedback
Not really but it's quite simple:
- Top is the current signal
- Then it's the volatility from our volatility oscillator
- Then it's our lux oscillator on length 50, if it's red, it'll say bearish and if it's blue it'll be bullish
- the lux Control which is a measure of who has more market control
@empty solar the default setting is 11 but you use 50 now?
@latent cradle You are VIP
@ocean snow How old was this message?
OSC50 is old and no longer in lux
I just personally used to enjoy it
Ah ok ... i think lock means no vip
I just personally used to enjoy it
@empty solar lol it still allows me to set it to 50
Ah ok ... i think lock means no vip
@latent cradle Are you talking about the algo in TradingView ?
I run my oscillator on 50 👀
you said its not part of lux but im using it
i clicked on lux oscillator and set to 50
I run my oscillator on 50 👀
@vagrant meadow you use 50 on 5 mins too?
@vagrant meadow you use 50 on 5 mins too?
@ocean snow Yes
@empty solar if I use the sensitivity 4.25 in 5 min timeframe I high volume and the ticker was trend !! Is that work or I have to use lower sensitivity
That can work
@latent cradle Are you talking about the algo in TradingView ?
@vagrant meadow no i mean here in discord
Like Gecko said you are VIP here in Discord. What channels are showing locked? You should have all of them
@empty solar i mean in the beginning I have to check 2H timeframe with same sensitivity or there is difference sensitivity
It'd be the same to what you have set
Hi, Is there a way to add the Lux Algo indicator into another TradingView indicator, Trying to get the confirm values in my existing simple indicator script and back test it. Thanks in advance!
No sir not currently
@empty solar no worries, using a spreadsheet to validate and back test trade ideas - thought Id ask :D. Thanks
@rancid moat which video you talking about!! About the setup ?
Been tweeking lux for my liking. Backtest seem so far so good.
@zenith cedar what do you trade ?
niceee
my watchlist
Im loving the contrarian buys and sells so useful with TA and t/p s/l
gradient eq band is dope for trends
man lux is making it hard to lose 😂
@zenith cedar you mind sharing your settings?
haven't gone live yet with these settings 😅
But okay
sensitivity 4.05
I find that it gives better Signals with price action
but still it's only backtest
the best backtesting is bar replay imo
have to go live first to find out
is the only way I backtest 
Now chill my brain for tomorrow
the sensitivity is for 1h time frame btw

@remote topaz in what sort of timeframe?
hard to say i only trade 1m for gold and silver to scalp
its gonna do a lot on a 1min chart lol
Yea you right I prefer a higher timeframe
ehhh I dont like 1 minute
fxchoice spreads are a bit shit
for anything but major fx pairs
@wild palm Ive been trading some csgo skins recently
and damn is my inventory look suspicious
Do you have experience with Mam or Pamm accounts?
This the 45mins timeframe the candle didn’t breakdown the line so I think it’s going to reject and going up
@wild palm i forgot to reply to you. I backtested US30
It's my favorite instrument to trade
For the scalpers what's your setup for scalping
I would like to scalp but I still bad at it

i've been testing klawz's system for scalping gold and silver
let me link his video

if im at my computer for a few hours i keep it open and once and a while an opportunity comes by, its by no means a go to system for me
how's it going with this strategy?
@analog onyx Thanks! but how do i hide all of the other indicator values on the scales? It's too many, just want volume indicator value to how
I've fractured my brain trying to setup the atr with the histogram. Then I backtested the system which went good but cause unfamiliar with the strat I stuck to what I know.
I guess I never become a scalper
i've taken 4 live trades with it, won 2. not gonna do more live without more testing
i'm not really a scalper so its foreign to me
anyone here knows how to hide specific indicator values and only show one? on scales
scalping is tooo difficult for me man
@hidden moss what timeframe do you trade
generally 1 hour
This tradingview volume indicator is pissing me off 😩
1hr chart is awesome the bottom candle is breaking the support zone at the bottom breaks through
i've been testing klawz's system for scalping gold and silver
@wild palm Also - I use the same setup on higher timeframes. Strategy doesn't change.. just whatever I'm in the mood to go for.
all my FX pairs have alerts for my entry
on 4hr
interesting, thanks for the info!
and I just let those trades chill for 2-3 days usually
every once in a while, a trade will last a week on the 4hr chart
Most welcome
I think it's just whether or not you can watch all the info fly by you and seeing if you can grasp and predict whats about to happen?
i'll have to check it out on longer TF's 🙂
I think it's just whether or not you can watch all the info fly by you and seeing if you can grasp and predict whats about to happen?
@hidden moss I never try to predict what's about to happen
I just follow what's happening
Ok yeah that too, better not to predict
because it really messes with your head if you're making predictions
and mindset is the #1 factor to work on.. all the time
i take back what i said about predicting
but you're on the right path
I am not a greedy person I presume that's a good start
check your TA - a good TA will give you a good indication on what's happening
the best TA will just let you know sooner
what is TA?
Sorry I didn't get to the video yesterday, (to anyone who was waiting for it). I was feeling under the weather

Does everyone have access to the VIP signals?
confirmation, contrarian, trending, ranging -- why? when? how? Interested in gathering insight how others are using the indicator. I'm mostly a long-bias trader on the longer timeframes, 1D. Patient enough to wait for the trend. Anyway, curious to learn more. Thanks.
You're in VIP jake
hello guys, with the 2.9 version do you use CONFIRMATION signals + CONTRARIAN candles on a trending market and vice versa on a ranging market?
New here good luck everyone
Yea I sold Apple right when it told me
Let’s hope we all have a good day! I’m trying to do my eyebrows and get a haircut today!
Come on Tesla!
Tp and SL option is back ?
It's really really generic
The stop loss was literally just close +- atr(14) * 2
If you want to use it
It's good to use your broker's ATR anyway - more accurate for live market data than what TV provides. I used to go by TV, but sometimes would just barely get stopped out by less than 5 pipettes - simply because my broker has a different spread - and therefore, a different reading on ATR(14)
started using ATR a few weeks ago and i can't believe how useful it is
highly recommend to everyone
I used to set stop losses beyond the previous high/low
started using ATR1.5 (on higher timeframes)... instant impact to the bottom line
ATRx2 when trading under 1hr timeframes
yeah i see 1.5x to 2x recommended, definitely the sweet spot

Never a one size fits all :p

next youtube video we are going to release is going to be about settings

just a quick question .. on contrarian BUY signal ..
check out KIN 's chart
it gave Blue BUY signal at 4.49 on oct 14 .. never told a sell signal and now the price is at 4.25 .. does that mean a HOLD ?
Nope they attempt to catch tops and bottoms
so Buy means it reached Tops in contrarian ?

does anyone have a low timeframe strategy that would be easy to use for beginners on forex?
Low timeframe isn't really good for beginners
well not a beginner but just an easy to use and setup strategy
ive been trading for many months now but just got the algo today, just wondering if anyone has any good settings for low time frame scalping
there's no such thing as 'good settings' that work across all instruments
it takes a bit of time to find what works for you and your trading style
(retracements, pivotpoints, etc)
but here's a strategy that I use on smaller time frames that beginners can start working with: https://youtu.be/35A1qSAtLZM

@cobalt stag
Gecko--I agree; forex can be a tricky market, and trying to catch all the small moves can deplete an account really fast. In my experience, to win in forex requires riding a longer-term trend and hanging on as long as possible 🙂
And it works for higher time frames - again.. make adjustments to sensitivity and agility to fit
@true jasper i did watch the video already, but since the algo has gone to version 2.9 now is it still the same?
just make adjustments to the sensitivity and agility, and you're good. I'll be making more videos about that this week
My strategy never changes - just the settings
and the settings never change much.. usually 3-5 clicks
okay thanks for the advice
No problem-o
Gecko--I agree; forex can be a tricky market, and trying to catch all the small moves can deplete an account really fast. In my experience, to win in forex requires riding a longer-term trend and hanging on as long as possible 🙂
@proven nymph it does get tricky.. I just steer clear of pairs that are heavily manipulated. But, depending on the day's volume, I can score some nice scalps in FX
EURUSD is the WORST for being manipulated
yes, but at least we're mostly past the days when brokers and traders used to move around millions via phone just for arbitrage or going after each other's option stops!

I think there is a delay taking place
@zenith cedar in the alerts?
Yup
If its a one bar delay its normal since the alerts trigger on the bar close, if its superior to that then there is an error

if thats the case make sure the alerts are set using the settings/tf you are currently using on your chart
some of the times it's good but some of the times it's just late
do you have a lots of alerts sets? Sometimes some delays can take places due to a lot of users being on tradingview
there is a lot of wisdom from many members here. lots to learn everyday.
today Gold has brought me much joy.
mt4 vs mt5..... is mt5 a lot better?
I use mt5 tbh its better.

Take a read through all the terminology here 🙂
The new lux algo don’t have tp sl?
I just joined and testing LUX ALGO. I found if the graph is going down, it didn't said SELL
Yep it was removed
@soft grove Please take a read ^
The STRONG in red is a strong sell
I'd suggest reading all through resources 🙂
It explains everything
@finite vortex We are releasing it for free in the next couple of days
Okay @empty solar
@ruby sinew It never repaints.
Allo question
allo question?
It didn't repaint
Look hour ...
No .... not same candle ...
It is the same candle
Hein sorry my error
both signals are on the exact same candle
Ok sorry
It's ok 🙂
Hi, Can we have a setting for Short Sale, like AMZN?
@true jasper enjoyed the two videos you posted on gold and scalping. Looking forward to seeing a video with your Lux 2.9 settings.
Easy 15 dollars today 💩
Did the bot just say to buy luv
LUV
I used lux as confirmation to a contarian signal
Contrarian
oooh
this was triggered, can take it as you wish but it’s good to be aware price is at resistance
to me it seems like a second wave of covid in the U.S. so its kinda against my view on it yk
Admin, for stocks scanner, kindly inform us before mkt close, plse
Mkt already closed at 4pm, yr signal at 4.01pm
Another market start
Yes sharif
@soft tinsel I assume ur trading options, the signals happen either happens on the half hour or the hour.
It’s not set up like how u want
Trade on the 45 minute if you wanna see a signal before market close
Good suggestion but my TF 1hr, 30mins, Daily.
Perhaps admin can create 1 more slot for Option?😆
Ya it kinda sucks when you get a signal at 4 pm but they can’t really readjust their whole algo for stocks
I mean if you were doing shares you could use the signal, but not for options,
You can trade options for spy 15 min into after hours I believe
does anyone know a good platform to trade options in the UK?
Can anyone tell me what it means when people say stuff like, " has to fill the gap " ? Or like when there is a candle with a long wick and it has to be filled.
Or maybe theres something I can read off of that lol
they tend to mean things like fill the gap asin for example
they are judging it on a moving average and it has to fill a gap before the currency or whatever you're trading bounces in the right direction
for example if they are following a pattern
but the pair hasnt come down to the 200 moving average or so
they want that gap to be filled
it depends in what context though
So filling a gap would come before moving in the right direction 85% of the time?
essentially yes
Thats crazy
its not always it would fill the gap though
depends how you draw your trendlines etc
everyone gap might be different
Right thats where the 85% comes in lol
to the next
Can anyone tell me what it means when people say stuff like, " has to fill the gap " ? Or like when there is a candle with a long wick and it has to be filled.
@smoky escarp https://www.investopedia.com/articles/trading/05/playinggaps.asp
My uncle got it for me he got it for me after I helped all summer pretty much as a gift
my old pc was so much better
But yk a bit overkill for csgo 😂
@empty solar does contrarian have sensitivity?
ohh ok I had candles on confirmation, thanks
@empty solar I made 5 profitable trades in a row
the contrarian combined with bands and dashboard is basically a money printer
@hidden moss contrarian in ranging market ??... signal was contrarian ?? Candle color mode ?? ...did u use default settings ??
here Ill show you a trade I made today with My TA
@hidden moss it would be great if you could give little explanation of your entries
what timeframe is that
I traded gbpusd today seeing it hit a point of resistance. The hourly contrarian signal and oscillator matched my trade with an rsi of 67 and price at the reversal band with a thinning eq band I set a short
1H
I used price action
everything lined up basically
What stock is that.
GBPUSD
I did use the reversal zones but didnt want to clutter the chart
@hidden moss ah cool thank you for that
@vagrant meadow thank you !
@hidden moss thanks a ton man...really helpful
I use oscillator and absolute strength to determine trades and a compilation of other tools to determine my confidence and confirm my entry generally this trade was great for market condition
I gotchu guys
@hidden moss wish u more success trades ahead
Thank you 😌
I was in GJ last night and I hate to put trades in my sleep abd it still went up for the buy
Waiting for a pullback for the major buy 👍
@smoky escarp I might be slow but what's GJ?
gbpjpy
hahahahah
Lol its okay @hidden moss
anyone watching any pairs right now?
more upside this week i think
12k retest soon
i thought we were gonna dip before the weekend but 4hr showed strong continuation on market open this week
I use oscillator and absolute strength to determine trades and a compilation of other tools to determine my confidence and confirm my entry generally this trade was great for market condition
@hidden moss do you use any specific setting in the asi or the osc?
@twilit rock what source you use for oscillator
@twilit rock standard/default
@remote topaz close
@twilit rock what length?
Standard, for scalping, but I been testing 50 for longer period trades

too good of a gif🤣
The black slot is too big for the slot so the yellow key won't fit at all
And the divider makes it so I cant click it in
it will appear in the top left as v2.9
when you select from the indicator menu it will just say V2
Okay
@thin trail how bad is a 30 dollar spread on btc 
Has anyone figured out a way to automate this yet?
There are ways such as using Alertatron or other third party services @brittle quail but we really don't recommend, we did not design it to be used as an automated strategy
I'm aware it was not designed to be automated however with extensive back testing on a 30min chart I've found the algo to be accurate at taking atleast 10 pips 93% of the time. Therefore with an appropriate stop loss I do not see a reason why i would not trust a program to run this automatically. I do understand this was not meant to be run automatically and by doing so I assume all risk and... well you get the picture.
Stop loss or Trailing stop*
Could be done on Alertatron or Threecommas i believe, not the most familiar with those platforms but i believe if you really wanted to, it could be done there @brittle quail

@brittle quail but you performed a manual backtest, did you do it in HA charts?
I did in candle charts with HA as source... does that answer your question?
@thin trail Thank you I will look into it 🙂
I did in candle charts with HA as source... does that answer your question?
@brittle quail it's important to make sure just in case, well just remember to be careful if you plan to use auto trading using tradingview, tradingview does not endorse any backtesting services
You'd have to be insane to automate this algo lol
Hi everyone, I am new to lux algo
If I were to do this It would be with the smallest lot size i can use (0.001 Through Oanda I think... been awhile since ive traded that small) and I would be supervising the automation for atleast two weeks on live account till it proved its self.
Ah forex? Have no clue about that realm.
Yes forex. its the only things I use this algo for. I trade options Monday - Friday But i do that more less by myself
I can see it working on minimum 30M to an hour TF. And yeah I only daytrade / scalp equities... no options or futures for me
@ashen light Hi friend, Dont be like me and ignore everything Im saying... for now
@ashen light Welcome to the Lux community bro. If you have any questions please feel free to ask! Just double check with main website to answer questions you may have glossed over
I was swing trading for a while recently switched my account to a cash account and started day trading options
Hi Damian
I cant get into options.. not my style/perosonality
Day trading options is stressful
Yeah dont be like me, Im here talking to you guys and forgot i had a scalp trade open.,........ Yeah its one of those day
How are the best setting for ETH or BTC? I now is depending on time frame! Experience what is better ?
Guys, stupid question - how do I stay up to the bot stock alerts?
Or do people really use it?
@ashen light you talking about the bot scanners?
I personally block those notifications lol. Stick to scanner
@raw jacinth I dont trade cryptos so I got no advice to really over. Im sorry dude
Is one uses it for crypto ?
@ashen light you talking about the bot scanners?
@brittle quail yes the alerts telling you what to buy or sell
^^
@patent skiff scanner means? Sorry I am too new to this
!scanners
You can find the scanner signals in these channels:
#695668653869236433 #695732700991979601 #695668580301144064 #695668800044925009 #695668811784781874 #695668827937177660 #695732857959612566
Included in the channels are thousands of TradingView alerts created on the Lux Algo V2.9 default settings.

You can go to the pinned message in #💬hangout to see the complete list of tickers/timeframes included in the channels or type the !list command.
These are our scanner alerts via Discord ^
@thin trail so users mainly use lux algo for the TradingView indicators?
Yes @ashen light
@patent skiff thank you bro, I am looking at scanz just now
@thin trail what are these things?
They just monitor price of some stocks and display it in discord
So Alertatron makes my head hurt lol
haha yea from what i’ve seen they don’t have the cleanest processes
3commas may be a better option @brittle quail
I think I'll look into that in the morning after trying to reading that a trying to figure out how to "write that code" my head is spinning.
I have a feeling with either option illl only be able to trade one way. But I guess that might be the price of automation
@thin trail Hey you still floating around in the shadows?
Connecting to 3Commas is pretty easy. Just keep in mind there is a lag between the moment a signal is triggered and the time it takes the trade @brittle quail
Im looking to test it on 30 min chart. So assuming the lag is less than a minute I dont see it causing a problem. Of course any and all input is welcome and appreciated. @golden charm
That should be fine.
The only problem I see is because algo has technically four different alerts Im unsure how to set that
I've send you a DM
is news coming up ?
I enjoy using version 2.8 more than 2.9. Anyone else comment on this
No because they are the same
Me too, what a pity to remove the Trade Set up!
Like we've said, we are releasing trade setup for free in the next day
Trade setup is absolutely generic and bad
It's the same
I don’t know off others just saying for myself
The only thing that changed was we removed setup
That's it
Signals are the same
Features were just added
Just one question: is it possible to add Lux Algo to Brokers like XStation (XTB)?
2.9 I feel is much better all the way around. The confirmations seem to be more on point all the way across. The Equalizer Bands (or clouds or whatever you just to call them) and clearer better to read
I really like 2.9 or since whenever we could print 4h signals on the 1hr
I believe you could that before they just made it a lot easier to understand that you can do that.
I see
I'm glad to have it regardless, I always need the extra confluence lol
also, anyone else using the gradient backgrounds??
madness
All the same, Point stands. Trade Set up will be coming back, it needed some tweaking. Lux has yet to let us down on or not fulfill their promises
Do you actually use it like that?
Its pretty
good morning!
Got 3 signals 2 were good signals and one bad. And I took the bad 1
It happens
happens to me way too often. now i'm kinda scared to take one ;/
Im not a fan of naked signal trading but yk win some lose some
Sure
And trending markets great signals contrarian + reversalbands is really good thats what I mostly trade
i like my settings so far. Backtest was 80% now testing it live
@tidal pier do you backtest the strategy before you trade or do you have a strategy to trade with lux?
@zenith cedar on paper i'm fine, it's stress free lol. when it comes to make it real then i'm very hesitant for some reason. but that's how i am. working on it to put he fear aside.
which leads to take bad decisions
Ugh I'm gonna have to start going to bed after 2am I keep missing so many good trades lol
I hate waking up and missing setups and opportunities
I lost a great trade on usdchf that I decided not to enter
2/3 successful trades with risk management is insane tho
Us30 is moving violent right now🤢
Since this update there's been huge losses instead of winns like the older version of lux algo..
@bronze lotus nothing has changed
Weirf
The signals haven't changed, literally nothing except the default values
So if you have the same settings there will be 0 difference
4.25 was the old sensitivity
The new default is 4.75
Thank you
Did you change the sensitivity of the alerts ? Only been one forex alert since 1am and iv seen plenty of strong signals. I'm curious why.
But nothing regarding any calculations except the S/R was changed
4.25 was such a low default
Think ill go back to that, thanks for the respons
I was digging the normal alerts at 4.25. I missed out on some good trades due to the change.
You should always try and keep track of what settings you like
It's honestly an impossible decision sadly
Some people prefer
Some people don't
But it's good people can set their own of course ☺️
Indeed
smoothing setting is gone, was ity replaced? because that affected the signal result a bit
No alerts since 1am last night . For forex...big part of why I got lux was because of the alerts. It's definitely throwing off my Stradegy now. Any chance you'll go back to 4.25 alerts?
I shouldn't have to though. The alerts were perfect!
Some people said they weren't 😔
Some people said they were
A lot of people complained there were too many
Some too few
The real goal is to let people set their own
We make the tools ☺️ the scanners are just an extra little bonus for some people
Because they take them blindly, I say they were absolutely perfect! I only took strings with my other classes confirmations and they always were on point
Have of some of us use the alerts as a strategy I work an 8-hour shift so as soon as I get a strong alert I look at my indicators to confirm the signal Now we're not getting any signals so now I'm not making any money because you change the sensitivity of the alerts
Let me see what I can do
I never traded with us30
Some people are just looking for money printer signals 😭
And some people like myself work 8-hour shift and use the alerts along with other indicators to confirm the alert that's my strategy That's how I win consecutive days and now it's been altered and I like to know why if it was working perfectly people just need to take the strong ones and check their indicators analysis instead of just taking any alert
alerts are gone?
okay, I'll mind my own business 🙂
New default is causing less singals. So yes, something has changed. Proof is in the pudding, 1 alert for forex since 1am
wasn't default 4.35 previously? Can you just change it to that?
4.25
And now v seen plenty of strong singals
can you just change it to 4.25?
Yes we can
Oh
Yep the user can
That's the beauty of it 😅
You can set your own alerts
With your own settings
yeah, I have a few setting depending on what I am trading
Yep is the perfect approach
Please do! Change them back to 4.25 (alerts)
The user can, but like I said, some of us have a 8hr job who can't be in front of the computer checking charts so some of us like myself use the signal along with other indicators as confirmation when I get the alert
i think he doesn't know how to modify the settings.
We all know that TradingView only offers limited alerts I do have the pro version but why would I do that when I'm paying for Lux I'll go and it's been working perfectly since I got it and now you change the sensitivity of the alerts and it's throwing off my strategy
My settings is at 4:25 within Lux I need the alerts to be at 4:25 because now it's skipping strong alerts then I could have made money on today
How are we benefiting from 1 signal a day now? This is horrible
oh, you are talking about the alerts here in the discord channel
just change it on your chart and set alerts on your Tradingview account
I shouldn't have to everything was working perfectly the alerts were coming in strong , Now we're not getting any alerts last one was at 1:00 a.m. It's thrown off my whole strategy ever since they altered the alerts sensitivity
Yes I'm referring to the discord alerts
So my question is can you change the discord alerts sensitivity back to 4.25?
They were perfect! People should know not to take them blindly even if there's a lot or a little anyways, They should do their analysis check their indicators etc. Before taking them blindly. So that's their fault! The signals were great at 4.25
I use the discord alerts as part of my strategy and I have over 500% gains since my initial deposit using the alerts along with my analysis and other indicators. So if I'm not getting any alerts now that means I'm not making any money. Defeats the purpose for me at least of using lux considering I work a regular job and use the alerts as part of my strategy.
Yes I understand
So I appreciate it if you guys talked about it. If anything there were more happy people with the alerts then bad I'm sure.
Just take a look, no alerts all day today. That's horrible
I'll see what I can do for this :)
The thing is this may just be a one off day
Since we use 4.75 and normal candles
which if you load up a chart has very very similar signals to 4.25 and HA candles
The lack of signals could just be because today is slower
well they would be
sending this here for everyone
There actually will likely be more alerts since it’s on normal candles, trust me i set up each and every single one out of around 1,200 manually
We are not using Heikin Ashi candles anymore because it is very confusing for most people — most people use normal candlesticks and a lot of pros think HA candles are misleading.
I looked at every single alert out of 1,200+ and with 4.75, use HA as source, and normal candles it is the exact same as 4.25 & HA candles
There’s not a decreased number of alerts, there will actually likely be a little bit more alerts with these settings. There hasn’t been #695732700991979601 alerts the past day because they are just all playing out as usual.
The new v2.9 defaults is a very good starting ground for people and trust me out of anyone, i set all of the alerts up myself and there is not going to be any decrease of alerts because of these settings.
^ And as an addition - if you had a working strategy using old alerts you can of course set your own. That's the whole beauty of being able to customise the system 🙂 If you had something working amazing for months with the old alerts it's worth setting your own again
so no need to use HA candles anymore?
Well if you want to use them still and like HA candles and profit with them stick with them 🙂
If you prefer normal candles go with them
Nothing changed, only default settings
Yep and scanners are now on normal candles to avoid confusion @tidal pier — a lot of people were confused and most traders don’t use HA candles. Rest assured the new default which the scanners are running on:
4.75 sensitivity, 1.96 agility, use HA as source enabled, & normal candlesticks
is near-identical to
old default settings w/ heikin ashi candles: 4.25 sensitivity, 1.96 agility, & using heikin ashi candles for scanner
the last few weeks with how choppy everything has been, HA candles are like trading on difficulty of god mode
at least from my perspective
yea for sure can happen, the main reason we changed to normal candles is because most traders aren’t using Heikin Ashi in their strategy and get confused by it. So new default at 4.75 & HA as source makes up for it on standard candles
thats a fair adjustment, makes sense
with normal candles and signals, HA as source is to get the same/similar results as HA candles correct?
Yep it’s basically identical, through a lot of testing it’s the same exact signals but in some areas there will be a little more chop
almost all pairs are choppy 😩
Perfect for bands and contrarian signals 😉
im so scared to trade reversals in forex 😆
check this signal I got
@warped nova whoa what pair
That's a rare one wow
ain't no bull control right now
