[indigo cradle]

Metrics can be found in Lux Metrics; there's an entire dedicated script for all the metrics

[mild ridge]

Autopilot seems to be eliminating a lot of the exit signals

[indigo cradle]

It will indeed

Filter those out

[jaunty perch]

With all honesty, I think you made a huge mistake by changing the dashboard.

As for metrics, I don't like having a crowded screen with an unnecessary pane, when the dashboard consolidated it all into the main window

I'm sure there's others who feel the same way I do about this.
Please bring back the old dashboard!!

[indigo cradle]

We saw very very low usage of the metrics in the dashboard; especially Lux Control

[summer cedar]

Is update just under Lux Algo Premium?

[indigo cradle]

Indeed just Lux Premium

[jaunty perch]

I thought it was there be default

By*

[surreal wharf]

How can you measure usage when the dashboard is just there

[jaunty perch]

Exactly

[indigo cradle]

It was however we saw very very few using it; especially since it wasn't very special

[sly ivy]

WHY was the institutional profile removed 🥺

[leaden elm]

How do you get 4.0 as I seem to jut get 3.10

[indigo cradle]

@sly ivy It's still there.

[rich dock]

@CarMillie#0677 I was unable to create a Lux Algo alert?

[surreal wharf]

It’s a little too simplified in my opinion but it is what it is

[sly ivy]

Is it on premium?

[indigo cradle]

It is indeed

[indigo cradle]

I understand; we will assess how that goes

[sly ivy]

I meant is on the confirmation script?

[indigo cradle]

The profile is still in the main script yes

[mild ridge]

Under normal control, the exit signals are displayed after every buy or sell signal.. and they look accurate.. on autopilot they almost completely disappear

[indigo cradle]

Under S/R mode

[indigo cradle]

Yes they get filtered out quite a bit

[mild ridge]

Why?

[indigo cradle]

Because AP filters

[open pewter]

mind blown @indigo cradle

[surreal wharf]

I also understand what you mean but “inactive” or “volatile” don’t really mean anything and it gets crowded adding the metrics that only show volatility

[robust forum]

Not all trades have an exit.
The exits do look interesting on auto-pilot

[jaunty perch]

Can we have a petition to bring back the old dashboard?

Or am I the only one that used that thing??

[indigo cradle]

You can; if we see significant requests we can change that

[jaunty perch]

How can I start that

[indigo cradle]

However again; the only metric that you cannot get anymore is Lux Control

[indigo cradle]

We will see how many people ask about it after this update

[jaunty perch]

Why?

[sly ivy]

Might I ask, what's the difference between trend tracer and catcher

[indigo cradle]

It wasn't special and can have valid alternatives

[indigo cradle]

Catcher aims at predicting a move, tracer is more classical in trend following approaches

[brave robin]

can the dashboard items be sent via alert?

[sly ivy]

Thanks for the clarification

[indigo cradle]

It depends on the metric; institutional activity yes

If @jaunty perch and @surreal wharf really had something going with Lux Control and RSI doesn't serve the filtering purpose you needed DM me

I will see what I can do

[brave robin]

thanks...so not the trend state

[surreal wharf]

It helped a ton honestly

[indigo cradle]

Sadly not however you can use Lux Volatlity to achieve similar

[brave robin]

also,i know there are alerts for trend catcher green/red. but this can be classified in plots, correct?

[indigo cradle]

Correct

[brave robin]

i meant , this can't be

[jaunty perch]

And if for whatever reason, you don't bring the old dashboard back, can you make more in depth tutorials for navigating all the other features, and strategies

?

[mild ridge]

I'm observing these exits.. I like it a lot..

[vague vale]

how do i get the new version?

On NASDAQ the Take Profits look really good, for the ones that show

[jaunty perch]

Just the basic instructions. I've watched some YouTube, i'll go back and watch. Maybe I'm overthinking it all

[brave robin]

any specific settings that match with what you got on lux volatility

[indigo cradle]

We do have thorough docs, strategy videos so hopefully those help

[jaunty perch]

That's on the lux YouTube channel right?

[mild ridge]

Yes @robust forum they do look good.. I wish the autopilot didn't filter them out so aggressively.. unless I should be looking at it differently?

[indigo cradle]

Default should be good

[robust forum]

I found another way to update.

Remove from Chart
Remove from Favorites
Save
Close chart
Open chart
Re-add

I've done 3 that way so far.

[vague vale]

is it 4.0?

[mild ridge]

Ya

[indigo cradle]

It is indeed

[summer cedar]

But is the update just under lux also premium?

[robust forum]

its the only one I've seen so far

when do those take profit signals fire?

bar after?

[indigo cradle]

Once per bar close

[vague vale]

how do we turn that on?

[indigo cradle]

It's on by default

[vague vale]

any particular tf?

can you see them right now?

[indigo cradle]

You can indeed

the x

[mild ridge]

Signal Mode has Confirmation + Exits

[vague vale]

ok

[upper bolt]

blue cross

@vague vale

[vague vale]

yeah what does the blue cross mean

[upper bolt]

i suppose this is exit position signal

[robust forum]

Now we need a Blue Shield 🤣

[indigo cradle]

It is indeed an exit signal

[vague vale]

so blue cross is exit?

what are the other signals?

[indigo cradle]

It is a suggested Take Profit

Which other signals?

[robust forum]

Can there be more of them added?

[vague vale]

as in anything else?

[indigo cradle]

That should be it?

[robust forum]

a lot of awesome trades don't have one

[indigo cradle]

More exits?

Yeah they focus on accuracy rather than plotting frequently

[robust forum]

TP signals

[indigo cradle]

So alternative TP methods can be employed however they can be deemed "special"

[robust forum]

This one is awesome-Short would have been as well

[summer cedar]

Everytime I refresh I’m back to Lux Algo 3.1. Even after removing lux Algo from my fav

[rustic basalt]

Me too. Im trying later it usually has some sorta of lag TV

[shy relic]

you need to save the layout

[indigo cradle]

• Remove Lux from your chart
• Log out TradingView
• Clear cache
• Close browser
• Reload a fresh chart
• Add Lux

That'll ensure an update

[summer cedar]

Gonna try. Thanks

[robust forum]

reboot pc if needed

[mild ridge]

@robust forum are you using autopilot?

[robust forum]

I'm just checking them out on Forex and NASDAQ/S&P. They look good on auto

That being said, they are better with Opti settings on 5 min anyway

auto

opti

[brave robin]

Has this got any specific plot?

[indigo cradle]

The exits?

[robust forum]

BTC on 30 opti

[brave robin]

Yes

[indigo cradle]

4 for exit buy and 5 for exit sell 🙂

[robust forum]

auto a little better

[brave robin]

Thank you

[robust forum]

When they do show, they are good ones. However, I would need a genie to tell me if I should wait for or use the 2nd one lol

[brave robin]

Does these keep changing everytime you make an update? I think 4 and 5 were something else in previous versions

[indigo cradle]

It's just due to the addition of those 2

[brave robin]

Noted.

[robust forum]

holy crap

o wait-previous version-my bad

[indigo cradle]

Lots of new stuff to play with 🙂

Is there a way to separate exit alerts into Short exit and Long exit

[robust forum]

There is 4.0 on S&P. Dang

[indigo cradle]

Not currently due to a plot limit

[spare whale]

Did you close the app and open again to load?

[robust forum]

I closed the window. However after it updated on my BTC chart all I do now is remove from my chart and re-add and it works on the others after

[potent knot]

I see the blue exit signals only in some trends and not others. Is this by design? or can it be adjusted?

[indigo cradle]

They won't always appear

Because the criteria are not always met

So it's hard to essentially force a take profit

[potent knot]

I see....can you share what the criteria is? It'd be interesting to know when one can be expected

[magic vapor]

Interesting new update. Why are there two alert options for Strong Buy / Strong Sell? Are the ones below a Contrarian Strong Buy / Sell?

[indigo cradle]

That's kept under wraps for now sadly

[indigo cradle]

It's the same as before really, the strong buy next to the confirmation buy is just a strong confirmation buy

[mild ridge]

@potent knot in some cases I would just use the buy/sell signal as the exit strategy if there's confluence with the oscillator

[indigo cradle]

The Strong buy next to the Contrarian buy is a strong contrararian buy

[summer cedar]

Is there anyway to change “lux volatility” to %??

[indigo cradle]

It's already a % in theory; it's bounded between 0-100

It's a %

That's in Lux Metrics

[mild ridge]

Is Lux Metrics a separate indicator

?

[indigo cradle]

It is indeed

Under your invite only

[potent knot]

This is probably better on the Suggestions channel but it would be great to have the ability to adjust the exit's sensitivity levels so they can apply to smaller moves.

[surreal wharf]

It’s proprietary information

They can’t give out info like that

[indigo cradle]

I do understand adjusting these

If you open contrarian modes you could use these as exits and adjust these

[mild ridge]

@potent knot you can adjust the Signals sensitivity and agilities.. it does affect the exit signals

[indigo cradle]

^ this will also work but of course will adjust settings with it

[potent knot]

Good point - thanks!

[mild ridge]

Do the Any Alert Functions act like the built in Alerts in TV?

[indigo cradle]

Yes you can read here how to set: https://docs.luxalgo.com/lux-algo-premium-indicators/lux-algo/alerts

It’s currently showing in “stable, inactive and trending” vs bullish/bearish and %

[indigo cradle]

If you want Lux Volatility readings in % you can see this in Lux Metrics

[surreal wharf]

Yami-Ashi, it’s simple and intuitive

[mild ridge]

Ok I'll check it out

[surreal wharf]

Red, if everything else agrees, you short (or buy puts in my case)

Trading light today, but new feature saved the day 🤑

[mild ridge]

I'm observing Nvidia.. these new features help a lot with this bullet train

[spare whale]

Yup, that worked, thanks. I got to do like a gozilian charts, but is all good

[surreal wharf]

NVDA is one of my favorite but after the split I think the options contracts are going to depreciate which means less money to be made

[spare whale]

Friends I like an interpretation of the candle circled in red. Under the new Kantan-ashi view when I see the candle without a body, even though the price is clearly on top, does it mean that even though the prices is moving higher the trend is bearish?

[surreal wharf]

Bearish

The candle is bearish

Trend is up

The bottom at 415 and the top at 438, meet in the middle for a “change” in trend

426.50 is where I’d draw the line and say “yeah this thing is changing”

But it seemed to have bounced of that 426.50 range

Off*

[spare whale]

Why 415 and and 438, that candle has a bottom of 429 and a top of 433

[surreal wharf]

It’s not the candle

It’s the lowest point vs the highest point

Which includes the wicks

Divide the difference (23) by 2, and add that to the low point and you get 426.50

That’s your reference and it seems the market really respected that number because it hasn’t closed lower since even though the last two candles went below

The market overall is trying to stay bullish

Probably from tech companies edging slightly higher

QQQ is up which is a big part of the SPY

[spare whale]

Lol, we are talking about 2 different things, you're referring to NVDA right? I posted about SPU

SPY

[surreal wharf]

I’m talking about your chart

Where is the lowest point?

Roughly 415

Highest, roughly 438

That’s how I draw conclusions

[spare whale]

Lowest point of a previous day? That's a daily chart

[surreal wharf]

Lowest point of the last 15-20 candles

[spare whale]

Oh

ok

[surreal wharf]

Your chart includes all candles

In short, today is bearish

But OVERALL

It’s still slightly bullish

Market doesn’t wanna go down

[spare whale]

Ok, I get what you're saying

[surreal wharf]

Try adding some S/R lines if you trade long term

[spare whale]

Yes, that was my conclusion too, just wanted to know if today's trend, given the candle, was bearish

[surreal wharf]

Market moves respecting SR

Most of the time*

[spare whale]

I prefer the predictive ranges, I don't trade long term most of the time

Thanks for your help

Hi Guys

Can someone please explain me the logic behind the kantan- ashi

Im trying to understand the difference between regular hieken ashi

https://docs.luxalgo.com/lux-algo-premium-indicators/lux-algo/candle-coloring

See listed here:

[uneven spoke]

2 Questions on the new release of LuxAlgo 4.0: 1- I have noticed that the exit signals (X’s) are not printed for every Confirmation signal plus sometimes there are multiple X’s for a confirmation signal and sometimes there are no X’s. My request is to make it where there is a single X for each confirmation signal always and not multiple or none. 2- Also the other request is that in the alerts I do not see two Exit signals, can we have a Red Exit alert and a Blue Exit alert to match with the corresponding Red confirmation sell alerts and Green confirmation buy alerts respectively?

[indigo cradle]

So firstly these TPs are naturally based off criteria. We cannot force a criteria to be satisfied really. Multiple exits in a long trend can be useful for those that scale out of a position. Secondly sadly we have a plot limit so currently having 2 different alerts isn't possible until TradingView increases this limit

But yes, forcing an exit signal could cause issues

[uneven spoke]

Ok, thanks for clarifying, how do I avoid bad entries as several confirmation entries end up in a loss, is there a way to minimize entering into those bad positions and how would I know when to exit from a position if the X never prints?

[surreal wharf]

Sell signals are on fire

Just watching

MSFT looking pretty for puts and lux knew it

[indigo cradle]

There are lots of approaches to determining exits, in a few of my videos I show nice ideas for that

[surreal wharf]

I’m thoroughly impressed

[uneven spoke]

I am trying to automate with 3Commas to have a system in place so I won’t make emotional decisions, I am finding it hard to implement those ideas as I cannot create a trading view strategy using Lux Algo signals, is there any possibility of allowing us to use the alerts within a strategy code?

[indigo cradle]

You can't use the signals within strategy code currently; automated trading is an extremely tricky niche. Have you seen my first strategy video; it's very trend following and basic for automation in theory

[uneven spoke]

Yes I have seen all your vids, I will look into it some more, I guess I will need to use open source signals in order to implement my strategy. By the way, great job on your vids, how are you backtesting those strategies, I see you run a bunch of trades, is that all manual?

[uneven spoke]

Yes I have seen all your vids, I will look into it some more, I guess I will need to use open source signals in order to implement my strategy. By the way, great job on your vids, how are you backtesting those strategies, I see you run a bunch of trades, is that all manual?

[indigo cradle]

Yep it's all manual 😊

[uneven spoke]

Oh man, I feel for you, hope at some point in the future we can automate this backtesting and that you can allow your subscribers to backtest various LuxAlgo based strategies on their own as well.

[surreal wharf]

I don’t think trading can be automated; you’re given the tools and you trade based on interpretation. Too many variables involved which is why I find Lux to be so impressive, it manages to blur out the noise and focuses on the important price action.

It would also mean you’d never really learn how to trade on your own.

[rustic basalt]

Manual is not better than automated especially if you miss signals

[surreal wharf]

And signals aren’t perfect

If trading could be automated there wouldn’t be need for anything, just let it run

[uneven spoke]

You will actually be a better trader if u can automate as you will need to write code for your strategy and then let the computer do the job for you without emotions. The hedge funds do automated trading, they have custom bots running all the time, that is how they make consistent large returns.

[rustic basalt]

You dont have to max sensibily to win trades. I think with exit trades you can automate.

[surreal wharf]

I have yet to see a hedge fund get 906% returns in a year which is what I got in 2020

The better trader is the guy who can write the code, you’re asking for lux to be automated which means no effort in learning on your part.

Even with lux people can still lose money

[uneven spoke]

Oh I write my own code I just want Lux to provide me ability to use the signals in my own code.

[rustic basalt]

Exit trades are made for this. If you backtest manually you should see if your automated strategy wins or not

[feral basalt]

Hello! I am new. As I test Lux, I notice the buy and sell alerts show between 9 to 11 candles before the ideal entry in the 5 minutes chart trading stocks. Is there a setting I need to move to make it more accurate?

[surreal wharf]

If you write your own code, why don’t you backtest your own strategy and automate it? I’m confused as to why Lux needs to automate for YOUR code to work...so maybe if you explain that I’ll be able to understand

[surreal wharf]

Interesting observation, I’ll take a look later

[rustic basalt]

If you can do that ,basically you're raising the risk to incur in stop loss

[surreal wharf]

Oh I see, I get it...but I doubt you’ll be able to do that.

Gotta wait and see what’s next

4.0 is insane though

[uneven spoke]

Yes I see improvements in 4.0, I am curious how did you make 900% in 2020, can you share your strategy just basic idea of it, were you using leverage, or was it just doing normal longs, just curious on how you accomplished the impressive number.

[surreal wharf]

I trade options. I don’t do forex for many reasons, the main one which is the fact that I find it harder to track financial information on forex pairs

Before lux I used floor trader pivots with volume profile, 60% accuracy with proper risk management

Also, I hate the idea of pips LOL it’s just weird to me

I only trade high volume, high market cap stocks, with decent volatility

2-3 weeks out and slightly OTM

[uneven spoke]

Ok cool good for you, I focus only in crypto.

[surreal wharf]

With lux my accuracy has jumped to 80-85%

Taking less bad trades

[uneven spoke]

Very impressive, good for you!!!

[surreal wharf]

I tried crypto, I’m so ignorant when it comes to it that I tried cashing out and sent it to the wrong kind of ETH

Whatever that means

Lost like $400 and it’s not recoverable

[uneven spoke]

Oh I see, yes you have to be well versed in crypto and understand the nuances, but once you have the basics, you should be good to go.

[surreal wharf]

Yeah, there’s a bunch of different kinds of ETH and some exchanges don’t accept the one I was transferring from but they were eager to take the money

It’s in a limbo

[uneven spoke]

There is ETH (ethereum) and then there is ETC (ethereum classic). ETH is the new one and ETC is the old one.

[jaunty perch]

is there a way to put metrics in the place of volume on the chart? in a way where it's subtle?

[indigo cradle]

Which metric do you have open?

[errant sand]

Hi, I just tried the new version but didn't upgrade my main setup yet. The new candle patterns are nice. If there's some resource for how to best use them, it would be welcome. However, I really liked the contrarian signals being an option to display at the same time but in different colors. It helped me check my own intuition before confirmation.

The exit signals are something I've wanted before for when price starts to stall after a huge uptrend but without confirmation that it's over (just to protect profits). It would be nice if there was an alert feature for it. I'm also not sure what the red X is? It just seems like the lowest point over a period but I'd like to understand better how these exit signals work.

[shy relic]

for more info on the candles see https://docs.luxalgo.com/lux-algo-premium-indicators/lux-algo/candle-coloring#candle-mode

An "Exit" alert condition is available, while the orange "X" symbol refer to an exit sell signal. Hope this helps.

[charred falcon]

Confused on autopilot feature. I thought it should be turned on all the time for automatic adjustments to each time frame. But LA seems to be more accurate with it turned off, at least on the lower TFs. Suggestions?

[indigo cradle]

Autopilot will make automatic adjustments; if you prefer it without it's totally valid to not use it

[indigo cradle]

To display at the same time you can load 2 versions of lux at the same time 🙂

Thanks

[charred falcon]

My question regarding autopilot is which is more accurate, autopilot off with default settings or autopilot on?

[indigo cradle]

Autopilot is a method to dynamically adjust the signals; we don't have any official metrics on this. What I would suggest is visually deciding which method fits your trading style more. Autopilot often reduces number of signals which can be an issue for some traders

[charred falcon]

If the default settings are left in place, are they mostly tuned for the lower tf's or higher tf's?

[indigo cradle]

It's more signal frequency rather than high/low tf; it really is a style thing; really really hard to say

[errant sand]

Is there some practical advantage to not offering that feature anymore? I guess I'll have 3 versions running (one for the institutional profile). It's a bit cumbersome but fine. Thanks for the candle documentation.

[jaunty perch]

[errant sand]

Is it possible to have an alert with multiple conditions required for it to trigger?

[indigo cradle]

It's just to make the menu clearer and of course can be loaded with 2 scripts yep

And sadly not off multiple conditions currently

[errant sand]

The benefit of the setting is also that I don't have to manually setup colors.

I don't think it was confusing there tbh.

[indigo cradle]

I understand but with the addition of exits it became a little much

We will look at adding it back

However the exits do act like them

[charred falcon]

Ok thank you for putting up with all my questions. Now I am just asking an opinion question. Do you and/or the Lux team typically run it with autopilot on or off?

If you can't answer for the team, then just asking your preference?

[errant sand]

I think they'd mostly use the optibot settings. Otherwise, why would that info even be offered?

[charred falcon]

If that is true, then it raises another question, does the auto-pilot reproduce the customized opti-bot settings and if not, then what is its purpose?

[tidal fractal]

Can you use lux on Webull

[indigo cradle]

It's a personal thing however I prefer having it on 🙂

[indigo cradle]

It's an alternative approach to optimising settings; since we cannot mass import optibot settings into TV automatically

So it dynamically adjusts to the market

[feral lava]

Best explained here: https://docs.luxalgo.com/lux-algo-premium-indicators/lux-algo/signal-settings#choosing-the-right-method

I was comparing with Forex and Indices and it seems auto-pilot looks best for most of those

[charred falcon]

Thank you. Appreciate your patience.

[faint portal]

Hey just had a few questions for the new v4.0 release.
Are the "take profits" configurable through the payload for a webhook? Also is it possible to configure the TP/SL in the payload of a webhook alert as well in TradingView?

[indigo cradle]

When you say payload are you looking for the plot?

[faint portal]

Yep.

[indigo cradle]

Plot 4 for exit buy and plot 5 for exit sell 🙂

[faint portal]

Is there a good spot to see all the plots and what they're allocated too?

And is there a plot for TP/SL?

[indigo cradle]

*5 and 6 my bad

and yes in the style tab you can see a list of the plots

So it's counting to the TPs

[faint portal]

❤️ perfect, exactly what I'm looking for. BTW you were right the first time, it's 4 and 5, cause plots start at 0 😛

[indigo cradle]

Ah yes I can't count 😉 It's late hahahah

[formal token]

What happened to Lux Market Control in the last update?

[formal token]

@feral lava what happened to the Lux Market Control? It's no longer available

[feral lava]

Lux Control was removed for further simplicity of the dashboard - we try to remove features we see as unnecessary to get the data you need 👍

[errant sand]

The contrarian and exit signals (no alert possible?) seem quite different. For previous versions, I was observing the contrarian signals partly as a preliminary exit idea. This version, the contrarian signals seem too early for that. For example, I was testing it against 3.10 for Ehang and QQQ. Even the strong signals seem wrong - at least during the Ehang crash from 129 when it's giving the strong contrarian buy signal with the stock's at 94 (fell to 43). There are fewer signals but I'm not sure they work better. I'd also like to understand more about how the exit signals work and what they mean. I get it in concept of course but comparing them to contrarian sells or regular sells. It doesn't just seem based on volatility. For example, for Ehang, I see the price go to 108 and then dip to 90. The take profit signal comes later when it's back at 103 (not bad at all).

I was using the 15 min timeframe.

[indigo cradle]

The new contrarian signals in general should be better. Naturally in a few instances the older method will do better however in general this new method should be better.

[flat galleon]

I just got the premium version and have no clue how to set it up. Is the standard settings also the recommended ones?

[indigo cradle]

Welcome 😊

Are you referring to the signal settings?

[flat galleon]

Yes, sorry 🙂

Also, a general question. Do the signal get more accurate the higher timeframe you are looking at? For example, are buy/sell signals more accurate on 4h timeframe than it is on 1h timeframe?

[indigo cradle]

If you give this a read it'll explain the 2 most common methods of signals optimisation: https://docs.luxalgo.com/lux-algo-premium-indicators/lux-algo/signal-settings#choosing-the-right-method
Default is a nice mid point. Not necessarily; timeframes don't really have implied accuracies however the higher the timeframe the easier it is to trade in general

[flat galleon]

Thank you! I'll have a look!

[coral cypress]

@indigo cradle morning!! The bulls in control feature from the dashboard is it gone?

[indigo cradle]

It is indeed for now

It was deemed too generic, a reasonable replacement is RSI

[coral cypress]

Oks thank you!

[graceful crystal]

yo devs

regarding the new update

is the bulls by lux % gone for good ?

on the spider dashboard

[indigo cradle]

It was deemed too generic, a reasonable replacement is RSI, the spider dashboard was removed over a month ago

[feral lava]

We released a much cooler free spider dashboard :)) https://www.tradingview.com/script/9K34g20s-Normalized-Oscillators-Spider-Chart-LUX/

[robust forum]

Looks like a schematic of a plane getting ready to crash into the candles. 🤓

[graceful crystal]

it helped me to win lots of trade

tho

[compact geyser]

Hello,
What are the settings on the Lux? I would like to make the signals up with what I see on my charts?

[indigo cradle]

How exactly were you using it?

[indigo cradle]

What exactly do you mean by this? The scanners?

[compact geyser]

I want to match the signals up with the signal that I see on trading view.

And yes the signals from the scanner

[indigo cradle]

!visible

[jaunty perch]

Our Discord Market Scanner alerts all use the following:

• Default Lux Algo (V3 inputs).
• Normal trading hours (no extended hours)
• Main exchanges / brokers such as NASDAQ / TVC / FXCM / OANDA / COINBASE / BINANCE

If you have created your own, custom TradingView alerts, be aware they are set per the exact settings you had at the time you set those alert(s).

[stoic wyvern]

Good job for the x signal

[indigo cradle]

Thank you 😊

[compact geyser]

Thank you! I think I have my sensitivity set to 100 and they do not match up to the signals. So I’ll set the default.

[indigo cradle]

Ah yes that makes sense

[graceful crystal]

idk looking at institution activities

whether i should ride with it

or should i be careful

after TA's

[indigo cradle]

Institutional activity is still there in Lux Metrics

[stoic wyvern]

Hey can I just use autopilot instead of having the headache to adjust it all the time?

[indigo cradle]

Absolutely yes

[marsh needle]

Hello everyone. I am new here. When I click on the scanners it just has the numbers one through six.

[graceful crystal]

only active or inactive

is % still there?

[indigo cradle]

I can see you've joined all the scanners, you should see the channels appear in the channel menu on the left

[indigo cradle]

Yes in Lux Metrics

You'll find Lux Metrics in your invite only scripts

In the settings you can toggle on institutional activity

[marsh needle]

I guess I’m doing something wrong. LOL! I thought I familiarize myself with everything last night but I’ll keep searching.

[indigo cradle]

You should see these in your menu 😊

These are the scanner channels with all the alerts

[marsh needle]

Mine doesn’t have those options

[indigo cradle]

Do you have a screenshot of what your menu looks like?

[graceful crystal]

for the end of trend index, does this work the same way as MACD?

[indigo cradle]

It's extremely extremely different and is very unconventional

You'll see it isn't following a trend conventionally

It isn't really a histogram with polarity

I see the scanners @marsh needle in the screenshot you just sent

[graceful crystal]

hmm so if its continue to be in red/orange. it means the trend is ongoing ?

i tried looking at the site, i still dont understand

[indigo cradle]

You read the docs?

[graceful crystal]

yeah

[indigo cradle]

Red/orange means end of trend likely

[indigo cradle]

Yep I see all the scanners there

I see Live scanners

[marsh needle]

But I didn’t have all the red alert on the right like you have. Mine just show stuff from yesterday.

[indigo cradle]

Yes for me it's just red because I haven't opened the channel; give it a few hours and you'll see messages appear when new signals are generated

[marsh needle]

Oh OK. Thank you for your help.

[graceful crystal]

what about the dark blue

or purple

a start of new trends?

[indigo cradle]

Well orange/red indicates a potential end of trend, anything that's not that... well suggests no end of trend so possibly a continuation of market conditions

[marsh needle]

I need to watch some tutorials that are labeled “morons” like me! LOL

[indigo cradle]

Hahahaha don't feel bad; if you're new to discord and the server there's a fair amount to take in 😊

[graceful crystal]

how about when its consolidating after an uptrend

the red / orange means ?

either up or down ?

either ways?

thanks gecko for answering

sorry for the trouble

[indigo cradle]

It would just suggest the end of the trend; if the asset was up trending and you see orange or red it could mean a reversal is occurring and visa versa 😊

And no worries at all

[marsh needle]

OK thank you for the vote of confidence!

[graceful crystal]

even when its on a bull penant ?

the metrics for the end of trend is to look at for decision making

[indigo cradle]

In theory yes; if the market forms a bull penant and end of trend is high; could mean a break downwards or some long consolidation

[indigo cradle]

Ah sadly not

It's a separate oscillator

[jaunty perch]

ok. ty

[graceful crystal]

and the stop buy signal is up

😆

highly a reversal then

[indigo cradle]

Yep so that's some valid confluence for a reversal 👍

[graceful crystal]

but on a different time frame

it state an onging trend

im confused

1hr says its going to reverse

and 4hr says its ongoing

with a stop buy

haha

[indigo cradle]

Yep this is common; these are fairly distant timeframes so can reveal different data

It's common that different timeframes reveal different things

[graceful crystal]

which tf does it works best

[indigo cradle]

There's no real best as per say but in general the higher the timeframe the easier to trade

[graceful crystal]

ok thank u

ok last question.
it says ongoing uptrend on the 4hrly, but it says stop buy..

hmm..

please guide me

[indigo cradle]

It's a take profit buy; doesn't necessarily mean it's the end of the move however it's a logical location to scale out of a position in nice profit

[graceful crystal]

i see

ok thanks gecko

great help

[quiet crag]

would love to learn more about the yumi. so when you have long grey "wick" to the upside what is that saying and vis versa

[indigo cradle]

Long wicks can be interpreted as potential reversal indications

Similar theory to long upper wicks on regular candles

[quiet crag]

long wicks on the top of the candles means trying to change from red to green right?

[indigo cradle]

Do you have a screenshot of the candle in question? But mainly it's just a suggestion of a price retracement

No necessarily a total reversal

[indigo cradle]

Wicks normally appear during larger precise deviations

So when the price deviates more you see wicks form

[quiet crag]

still dont understand

when I see a wick can I use that to tell a story?

basically what story can we read from the yumi

[indigo cradle]

So when you see a pick you can know the real close price deviated far from the yumi ashi. A large deviation can imply a possible pull back in the price in theory or a temporary cool off in the trend

The body of the yumi make trend following quite simple

[quiet crag]

hmmmm yes for sure

very cool

so far what I see is when the wick is on top then maybe 5 minutes or less then price goes up

and when the wick is on the bottom then maybe 5 minutes or less the price goes down. so its a nice "heads up"

[pure coyote]

I am curious if there are any plans for a lifetime subscription option?

[indigo cradle]

Sadly not; currently we go up to yearly

[pure coyote]

Ok thanks

[jaunty perch]

Might be an idea to make it possible to set 1 alert that overlooks not only the 5 minute but also the 15 en 30 min. Instead of setting three seperste alerts. Me myself would love a feature in which we can set 1 alert for 1 pair with multiple tineframes

Instead of choosing 1 per alers

[indigo cradle]

Sadly within TradingView an alert is bound to a timeframe when using an alert condition

[jaunty perch]

Also not possible within the any alert option

That it binds 3 urls of the chart

Into 1

As in weburk

Weburl

[karmic coral]

how does it work / affects any created alerts? should we change it on daily basis?

[indigo cradle]

Autopilot is a toggle so doesn't and can't be changed

It will affect alerts (not ones you set before turning it on however)

[lunar trout]

Hello. I could not work with your signals on the 30th timeframe in the bnb / usdt pair. set up the signals for the trading bot. And I myself saw how a sell signal appears, triggered and disappears, after that it reappeared and disappeared again in the tradingview. What have I done wrong?

[karmic coral]

so once we set on Autopilot and create alerts this autopilot setting will stays inside the alerts?

[feral lava]

yep! @karmic coral you won't need to adjust it will stay the same

[karmic coral]

wow! love this

[feral lava]

😁

[karmic coral]

my first test wish me luck 😄

[indigo cradle]

!confirmed

[jaunty perch]

A signal is confirmed only once the candle is closed. Meaning a signal could appear on your chart but is not confirmed until that candle is closed and the next candle has started.

Our automated Discord bots will never notify you on any signal until the candle has closed and confirmed it. If you're adding alerts for Lux signals in TradingView - make sure to select "Once per bar close".

[indigo cradle]

You need to wait for the close of the candle for the signal for be confirmed

[tribal island]

How do I know whether I should enter now or not when I see the word Strong in buying or selling.

I don't know 1% in technical analysis, so I joined you.
Is there an automated bot or something that can be linked with your program?

[indigo cradle]

Ah if you're brand new to TA I'd suggest maybe learning from babypips; there's no automated bot as per say. If you're looking for beginner strategies you can see them here: https://youtube.com/c/GeckoTrading

[tribal island]

For example, here, I consider that the price is high to enter, but the program says Strong buy

And there is a strong reversal candle, how do I know?

[indigo cradle]

Indeed; hopefully my content can assist a little

[tribal island]

I appreciate this, thank you

[lunar trout]

Thnx

"Our automated Discord bots will never notify you on any signal until the candle has closed and confirmed it" (c) Algo
What is it ?

[indigo cradle]

What's what? A candle close?

[lunar trout]

Discord bots

[indigo cradle]

The scanners you opted into

I see you opted into crypto alerts

[lunar trout]

exactly in discord?

[indigo cradle]

Indeed in discord

The scanner channels

[prisma plume]

Can you tell me why my exits are gray on mobile? On desktop they are red and blue, but on mobile both long and short exits are gray

[feral lava]

Yea we noticed this @prisma plume - it’s a TradingView bug we’re looking to fix or get TradingView to fix

[prisma plume]

Ok, Thank you. Was just wondering if I had set something wrong.

[karmic coral]

can i send buy and sell signals
the code I'm using
"side": "{{strategy.order.action}}",

with one alert?

[indigo cradle]

You cannot since it's not a strategy

[stuck fable]

Hi, it's me or in the Lux Algo 4.0 we can't put Alerts?

[indigo cradle]

You can still put alerts

Totally identical to 3.10; same alerts

Same way to set them

[stuck fable]

OK works now. Thanks

had to reset my TV

[karmic coral]

is there any way to minimize alerts? i had to create 5 for each bot!

buy, sell, stongbuy, strongsell, exits.

[polar ibex]

hey bro,market control by bull % this option removed?

[indigo cradle]

If you require the message field for a bot sadly not

[indigo cradle]

Was deemed too generic and you can use RSI in its place

[karmic coral]

if possible to add "any buy & strong buy confirmation"🙏

[indigo cradle]

That exists

Any buy

Any confirmation buy

also alerts for normal turn strong however

[karmic coral]

this one works for both?

[indigo cradle]

It will indeed

[karmic coral]

weird! it didn't send strong single

maybe i have wrong config

[indigo cradle]

It should do when set 🙂

[karmic coral]

that's awesome thank you!

[noble sigil]

Are contrarian signals calculated a little bit differently in the 4.0 version? Effectively, popping up less often but be more likely to play out? Good job by the way..!

[indigo cradle]

Absolutely, new method 😊😉

[hybrid harbor]

According to the documentation "Successive exit signals can occur during longer-term trends, as such the user can do partial exits instead of exiting an entire position."; how can we determine if the signal is for a partial or entire exit?

[lunar trout]

Please tell me what are the optimal settings for the indicator in the tradingview, so that my trading bot buys and sells for the bnb / usdt pair. if it's not difficult to skip the screen.

[noble sigil]

I use the autopilot settings it’s the best compromise. Alternatively, you can use the optibot settings but then you need to rewrite the alerts weekly.

[noble sigil]

I love you and hate you right now btw. That means I need to go back and revise 30 bots. 😅😂 Joking aside, they look much much better

[lunar trout]

Is "Autopilot" means "Optimal sensitivity"?

[noble sigil]

Yes. But from what I understand it is not as good as the settings posted on discord weekly.

[noble sigil]

That’s the one. As you will see the confirmation signals appear less often meaning that’s is less likely you will get caught at fakeouts.

[noble sigil]

You use 3commas?

[lunar trout]

I use Wunderbit

3commas is better ?

[noble sigil]

Never tried it, unfortunately. In 3commas, I use the confirmation signals with safety orders. So that I start a trade at the confirmation signal and increase my position if the price moves in the opposite direction. Then I close at 1% profit

I tried simply buying at the buy signal and selling at the sell signal, but it did not work very well as these signals are not designed for this purpose

[noble sigil]

I have 3 commas connected to a Binance account. What you can try do is use the lux signals to increase/decrease you position on spot. For example, when you get a buy signal on the 1h increase your BTC holdings by 1% when you get a sell signal decrease your position by 1%. Then you can add more such trades on higher timeframes and when you get a major buy/sell or bullish/bearish divergence on the lux oscillator.

Ironically, neither Binance with TV nor 3 commas allows such functionality.

[torn canopy]

how i cancel my auto renewal

[shy relic]

https://docs.luxalgo.com/faq#how-do-i-cancel

[shy relic]

unfortunately there isn't an exact way to determine that, if an exit signals occur during a ranging market it can be less likely for a successive one to appear.

[long echo]

Hey do I guys know what is the best settings for us 30

[shy relic]

look at DIA in the optibot channels 🙂

[lunar trout]

LUX, but how do you yourself recommend trading using your signals for 30 minutes or 1 hour?
in manual mode or automatically?
in manual mode or automatically?

What is the best trading strategy in your opinion using your indicators?
manual or automatic, if automatic, then with the help of which service?

[calm creek]

Question. Are you optbot settings compatible only with your latest release or can i skip having to add the new release and deploy the optibot settings?

[spice rampart]

hello- why institutional activity says inactive ? earlier it used to say a percentage i think .

on the dashboard i mean

[brave robin]

wish TV adds more plots soon. Yumi Ashi candles look interesting

[shy relic]

the tools are designed for discretionary trading and we recommend using them to this end, but it is possible to automate the signals with third party services. You can see some strategies here https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCDM5XcH0ogAPkNMGE8zK_og

[shy relic]

the dashboard will no longer show numerical values to make its interpretation easier, you can access the institutional activity values from the lux metrics premium indicator.

[shy relic]

yes, confirmation signals were not subject to a change and as such optibot is still useful.

[calm creek]

ok so i dont have to bother to update just yet and the optibot can work on the current 3.10 i have deployed?

[dim fulcrum]

Hi what does the optibot do with the time frame provided

[indigo cradle]

Correct 😊

[indigo cradle]

What exactly do you mean?

[indigo cradle]

These are the timeframes the optibot will optimise

For example optibot15m will optimise the 15m charts

[noble sigil]

I had the time to have a look at the changes on the contrarian signals.. There seem to be much much more spot on.. and I was happy with the previous ones but these are clearly better

[dim fulcrum]

Do they work on autopilot mode also

[indigo cradle]

Optibot? No, when AP is active you cannot change settings

[dim fulcrum]

So they are mainly used for manual mode

How do i import them into trading view

[indigo cradle]

You need to manually enter them, you cannot import

[dim fulcrum]

Is there a function for Long and shorts

[indigo cradle]

A function? What do you mean?

[dim fulcrum]

Like is there something that shows when its a good time to enter long and short

Similar to the strong buy and strong sell

[indigo cradle]

My videos shoe some ideas for this yes

https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCDM5XcH0ogAPkNMGE8zK_og

[noble sigil]

FYI, as it turns out, I do not need to rewrite the alerts from scratch. I can just open the old alerts and then replace the old indicator with the new one, which is very easy and super fast.

[hybrid harbor]

Thank you for the clarification

[grave mural]

For some reason I’m not getting any notifications from the indicator on trading view. Can somebody please help me?

[indigo cradle]

May I see your alert settings?

[indigo cradle]

Ok I see

And on the alert creation tab

May I see the actual alert, where you select the alert any

[indigo cradle]

The alert menu please if possible

This tab

[grave mural]

Sorry

[indigo cradle]

Looks perfect

And where were you expecting an alert?

But didn't receive it

[grave mural]

This most recent sell signal

[indigo cradle]

Can you show it on the chart? What I'd suggest doing is remaking the alert; 99% of the time that fixes it

[grave mural]

Dang I meant to send this one. I don’t know why it keeps sending the same picture

[indigo cradle]

Seems like the bar closed, I'd suggest remaking it; really should fix it

[grave mural]

Should it say allow once or every time

[indigo cradle]

Well if you're making a Lux alert neither

The top drop down should be Lux Algo

[indigo cradle]

Exactly like this

[grave mural]

Like this

[indigo cradle]

Well if you're using the alert any and want the boxes you ticked to be used

Select any alert()

Not any confirmation

[grave mural]

Correct?

[indigo cradle]

Spot on 💪

[woven dome]

I have a question?

Does the dashboard no longer show the percentages of institutional activity and bulls activity?

[woven dome]

@indigo cradle

[indigo cradle]

The institutional activity can be seen within Lux Metrics

So if you load up Lux Metrics that can be viewed

[woven dome]

What am I looking for in there I just see. A big red bar

[indigo cradle]

In Lux Metrics?

You go into the settings, instead of volatility select institutional activity

[woven dome]

Ahh ok..but no way to view it like before?

[indigo cradle]

Afraid not currently

[woven dome]

😔

Ok thanks

Before was good for me

Because I don’t use that many indicators

So I have no confirmation signal

[indigo cradle]

How exactly were you using it?

[woven dome]

I was able to see it along with the signals

[indigo cradle]

But how were you using it?

What were you using the data for?

[woven dome]

When things would spike up out the blue and also I liked how it showed the percentages of the bulls

It let me know if I had the bulls support going into a trade

If I was going long it made me more confident

[indigo cradle]

You are able to use RSI as an alternative

It's very similar

Both are momentum based

Both show bullish or bearish momentum

[woven dome]

Ok it was a nice touch I guess I got used to it

[indigo cradle]

I do understand, we just felt it was a little generic at times and there are equally decent alternatives

[woven dome]

And it was apart of the actual signal indicator so it was like a two for one

But I understand

[indigo cradle]

If there's a high enough demand we will explore options

[summer cedar]

I agree. I liked seen actual %

[woven dome]

Yes it was nice to know when you were running out of bull power on each time frame

Like you knew you had the cavalierly with you LOL

And it was a strong indication that it would be a push

[indigo cradle]

Understood, for the moment I'd suggest RSI and we will look into options

[hidden patrol]

hey how do i get green candles on my chart? im only seeing purple or red never green, i must of changed a setting should i just default it? thank you in advance

[woven dome]

Or you could understand why the numbers where holding up

[indigo cradle]

Do you have a screenshot?

[indigo cradle]

Looking at your chart; it looks like you have a very high sensitivity?

Or you're using AP; either way it's just not showing green as there is no clear uptrend yet

If you zoom out you'll see some green

[hidden patrol]

ok got it, thank you for the help as always

[ocean vessel]

I have no clue how to bring up the charts w the strong buys/sells

[indigo cradle]

Have you just signed up?

[ocean vessel]

Yea, I’m signed up and paid for Luxalgo, do I need to pay for trading view too?

It seems like I need two subscriptions for this to work

[indigo cradle]

No you don't, you just need to setup

!guide

[jaunty perch]

How to setup the indicators on TradingView: https://docs.luxalgo.com/getting-started/setup-tradingview

TradingView.com --> Chart --> Indicators --> Invite-only scripts

[ocean vessel]

I don’t see an option for “invite only

[indigo cradle]

Try logging out then logging in

[ocean vessel]

Did that

Is there a support phone number?

[fresh arch]

If I just signed up, and changed my Trading View Username, should I wait 2-3 hours before trying to connect my account?

[indigo cradle]

There isn't; have you connected your accounts?

[indigo cradle]

Is it a new account?

[ocean vessel]

I did connect, it is new.

[indigo cradle]

How new exactly? Within the past few hours?

[fresh arch]

Yes, new account, but I changed the username before attempting to connect the accounts

[ocean vessel]

Yes

[indigo cradle]

Your Tradingview account

[ocean vessel]

I’m minutes away from requesting a refund. 450$ a year there should be a support number

[indigo cradle]

Ok; so for Logan, if your account is brand brand new it will take a few hours to appear, if not give me a message

[indigo cradle]

I'm happy to give totally live support here for any questions

This is because your account with TradingView is brand new and takes time to update in their systems

It's not our side

[ocean vessel]

It’s not even close to the same thing. I use TD, if there’s an issue, I call they answer, we can even do screen sharing. And I don’t pay them 450 a year

I’ll give it until Monday. Already not a happy customer

[indigo cradle]

Please calm down Logan, I believe I'm being totally reasonable here. Happy to help wherever I can, I've answered every question I feel

[karmic coral]

i can finally see green in my profile, my first day of testing this indicator 😋

[indigo cradle]

@fresh arch I believe that should all be ok

[fresh arch]

Thanks, I'll try connecting later!

[ocean vessel]

I’m calm, but I just paid a year up front and I have to wait hours for it to kick in? Think about that? I pay 20 for a pizza and it gets delivered in 30 minutes

[indigo cradle]

Please understand it's not on our end; we provide an indicator on TradingView. When you create a Tradingview account it takes time for that account to register in their user list. We use the TradingView user list to give access

[topaz willow]

Calm down dude

[indigo cradle]

So we need to wait on TradingView which takes 1/2hrs

If this delay is an issue I'm happy to extend your subscription by a few hours

To reinburse for the hours lost

[ocean vessel]

It’s not the money or the few hours. Maybe you should consider partnering with somebody other than trading view. I’ll give it a chance but like I said, this isn’t the way to start off new customers. I’m giving you feedback that can help your business improve. I’m sure you lose many customers who never say anything about why.

[indigo cradle]

Will absolutely take that into consideration, apologies for the delay and happy to extend your subscription if needs be.

[ocean vessel]

Thanks.

[karmic coral]

luckily i never had an issue with it, it took me seconds to get an email and link my account.

[robust forum]

Tradingview is the most used and subscribed. I'd imagine they'd have to recode a lot of stuff for extra charting by adding others.

[indigo cradle]

Indeed, if the user has an account it's instant, if it's a brand new account it takes a few hours

[indigo cradle]

It's the biggest finance website in the entire world 😊

[robust forum]

You don't completely add or change things for 1-2 people with random issues. That's not cost effective.

Also yesterday a lot of DNS servers went down, things could probably still be delayed.

[karmic coral]

yeah it happens so many time on other group, glad my TV is premium month ago 😄

[indigo cradle]

It's just TradingView normally, new accounts need time to update in their DBS

[fresh arch]

Actually, I just noticed that the account was created a while ago, but I didn't like the Username TradingView gave me, so I changed it before trying to connect. Would connecting the old Username be the answer, or just wait patiently like a good boy and go play with my dog?

[karmic coral]

on trade pro had same issue

[indigo cradle]

@fresh arch DM me your username and I'll double check things for you if it's not working within the next hour or so

[karmic coral]

this works with Binance futures?

[indigo cradle]

It will work with binance yep 👍

[karmic coral]

what a time saver

alright about to create new alerts 😄

[jaunty perch]

What does the orange and blue cross mean

[indigo cradle]

Those are the newly added TP points

[grave mural]

I have a quick question

For Trading View alerts, does the algorithm need to be on autopilot in order to receive them?

[indigo cradle]

Nope; that's not needed

Any settings can be used

[grave mural]

Im still having a hard time receiving alerts still

It’s very frustrating

[grave mural]

Can you help?

[indigo cradle]

From what I saw you selected the correct boxes in the lux algo settings

you went to the alert tab correctly, you activated the alert

Are you able to show exactly where on your chart you were expecting an alert?

[grave mural]

I haven’t received an alert since 10 am & that alert didn’t even pop up

[indigo cradle]

But the label on your chart came well before 10am?

And there hasn't been a signal since

There's been nothing for it to alert from what I can see; I see no labels

[grave mural]

I understand. If I want to continuously get alerts from the chart do I change the expiration time?

[indigo cradle]

What exactly do you mean by continuously? You want an alert every single bar?

[grave mural]

I’m new. I didn’t have a paid version of tradingview & I literally just bought one just now because I could only get one alert & I needed more than one alert because I planned on trading more than one pair. I just don’t understand how to set them up for each pair. I want to set alerts for my favorite pairs on the 4 hour Time Frame

[indigo cradle]

That's correct: so the chart you have open/timeframe you have open when you create the alert is the one used in the alert

For example if I wanted an alert on the GBPUSD 5m chart; i'd open that chart and create the alert

So in your case; you'd go to the 4h chart; go to the asset you want to set an alert on, create the alerts, then open the next asset, make the alert ect

[grave mural]

I see. Once I set it, will I keep gettin alerts? Or do I have to go in and set them every time

[indigo cradle]

You will keep getting alerts yep; just tick open-ended

So they don't expire

And you'll get alerts as long as it's set

[summer cedar]

Can someone help me to clean up my charts and maybe see if I should remove some indicators or add others. I am new to chart reading so I’ll take all advice I can get.

[indigo cradle]

Have you seen any of my videos; some nice ideas for cleaner strats there

https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCDM5XcH0ogAPkNMGE8zK_og

Here if you need

[grave mural]

Do I have to adjust the time?

[indigo cradle]

Nope

Just select open ended 🙂

[sand trench]

@indigo cradle any way to set alerts for the new yumi-ashi candles whenever they switch colors? love these new candles btw

[indigo cradle]

Amazing to hear you're enjoying them; sadly not due to a plot limit with tradingview. As soon as this is a potential we will add this in

[grave mural]

Sounds good! I have another quick question as well

[indigo cradle]

Ask away 🙂

What are the best settings for the 4 hour time frame for the algorithm? Settings that will work across the board on the 4 hour

Or will I have keep adjusting. I’m just tryna make this make sense because if I set alerts for each currency pair, that means my sensitivity & agility would be the same. So would that affect the accuracy?

Or would putting the algorithm on autopilot help prevent this

[indigo cradle]

You would want to use autopilot; if you don't like having to touch settings then that's what AP is desgined for

[grave mural]

Ok that makes sense. & autopilot adjusts to each time frame correct?

& it won’t have any affect of the accuracy of the signals?

Because I honestly think I didn’t get any signals because I was constantly adjusting the settings for each time frame when doing my technical analysis

And adjusting the signals would essentially affect the predictions of the confirmations , correct ?

[indigo cradle]

Well enabling it will impact accuracy because it changes the signals but is designed to be simple to use and self optimise to market conditions

If you want the simplest experience i'd recommend it

[grave mural]

What are the best settings that would work across the board for each Forex pair on each chart so I won’t have to constantly change them

[indigo cradle]

Autopilot is what you want

Enable it and you can forget about settings; it'll self adjust them

[ocean vessel]

I was able to link, now it says “you can’t upgrade to premium in the app” no clue what that means, thought I paid for premium

[tough dagger]

Hi, the new update with the blue X and red X. I had a question about them. How are those indicators used and what are they for?

[indigo cradle]

Do you have a screenshot?

[indigo cradle]

Those are TPs

[tough dagger]

What are TPs? Sorry, kinda new

[indigo cradle]

That's ok 😊 suggested Take Profits

[tough dagger]

so blue is sell and red is buy?

[indigo cradle]

Yes, so you're on a free plan of TV (most folk here are) so can have 3 indicators on your chart at a time. You currently have RSI, stochastic RSI and something else loaded I can see. Remove those from your chart then you can load Lux

[indigo cradle]

They are take profit points so it's not really entering a position; it's exiting a buy/sell

[tough dagger]

oh i got ya. Thank you :]

[ocean vessel]

Ok, which of the 3 is best?

[indigo cradle]

Which 3 indicators are best? We provide 3 indicators in total

[ocean vessel]

Also, metrics, or oscillator?

I mean which do I click on?

[indigo cradle]

It depends which features you want really; if you're new start with Lux Algo Premium and Oscillator

[ocean vessel]

I want the strong buy and sell signals and to see the divergence so I can anticipate the cross over

[indigo cradle]

Then you'll want the oscillator and the Lux Algo premium

[ocean vessel]

How do you use both?

[indigo cradle]

By clicking both and loading both

Or do you mean how do you actually understand the indicator?

[ocean vessel]

I mean both. It looks like I have duplicates here,

[indigo cradle]

It seemed you clicked the Lux oscillator twice, you can remove one by clicking the x

[ocean vessel]

I don’t see an X

[indigo cradle]

In the top right of one of the oscillators you should see it

Tap on the name of the script

And you'll see it appear

[ocean vessel]

My screen looks nothing like that

I tap on it, and dots come up

[feral lava]

should be just like this

[feral lava]

hover over the title in the left

[ocean vessel]

Im scrolling around and I don’t see any titles

[indigo cradle]

Can we see a picture of your full screen?

[ocean vessel]

I think I got it now

[feral lava]

nice! let us know if you need any more help!

[grave mural]

I set all my alerts. So I should be getting notifications for all of these currencies correct

[indigo cradle]

Correct; all looks perfect

I see multiple pairs for the 1/4h 🙂

[fresh arch]

@ocean vessel check out their tutorial video, it really helped me out! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7qs0r6A8HBw

[grave mural]

No strong buy?

Lol never mind I had it on autopilot

[robust forum]

Crap-I forgot to add alerts for indices. Although auto-pilot works well

[lunar bronze]

How do I figure out the Agility? I'm trading SUSHI futures on the 1m timeframe and the signal sensitivity is 39

[indigo cradle]

Agility is a more advanced feature; Confirmation Signals Agility is specifically designed to filter out signals occurring during ranging markets, increasing this setting will generate more strong signals as a result.

[vivid musk]

@indigo cradle I just want to make sure, the scanner gets its signals from optibot settings right?

[indigo cradle]

!visible

[jaunty perch]

Our Discord Market Scanner alerts all use the following:

• Default Lux Algo (V4 inputs).
• Normal trading hours (no extended hours)
• Main exchanges / brokers such as NASDAQ / TVC / FXCM / OANDA / COINBASE / BINANCE

If you have created your own, custom TradingView alerts, be aware they are set per the exact settings you had at the time you set those alert(s).

[indigo cradle]

Defaults 😊

[vivid musk]

Thanks

[spice rampart]

[dreamy topaz]

Hello ,
Can anyone help to enable the alert on lux algo Predictive ranges.
As i am planning to make as an STOP loss or taking profit based on those ranges .

[open pewter]

Why is current session is not available @indigo cradle

[feral lava]

I don’t think it shows on crypto since it’s 24/7 @open pewter — or it’s because it’s weekend

[indigo cradle]

You want an alert when the price touches the range? Which part of it?

[dreamy topaz]

Hello ,
Can anyone help to enable the alert on lux algo Predictive ranges.
As i am planning to make as an STOP loss or taking profit based on those ranges .

[dreamy topaz]

yes , You are right.. ( Price Range & which range it touches)

[indigo cradle]

But which plot in particular; the predictive ranges consist of 5 lines

This is an alert for when the price crosses the mid line for example

SR1 being the upper blue

And SR5 being the lower red

[dreamy topaz]

Wow.. Thanks a lot.. This will help a lot ...

Just One More Small query , What if we need an alert for any Price Coss over .. like generic ..

[indigo cradle]

An alert for any of the lines being crossed?

[dreamy topaz]

Yes

Any predictive ranges Lines crossed.

[indigo cradle]

Ah you can't do it for any

You need to do it one by one

[dreamy topaz]

Ok.. Thanks appreciated for your support..

You don’t need @edgy hollow

[edgy hollow]

problem solved! thank you

[ebon pumice]

Hi, I was wondering do I have to buy a subscription for TradingView to get lux algo to work

??

This is what It says when I try to click on them

[feral lava]

Hey @ebon pumice nope it works on the free version 🙂

You’re just limited to 3 indicators on your chart at once

Make sure to remove any unnecessary ones. We also only have 3 toolkits so you can fully use Lux Algo on the free plan 🙂

[ebon pumice]

Great is there a video that shows me how to do it

??

[feral lava]

Just a matter of making sure there are only three on the left side of ur screen @ebon pumice 👍

[ebon pumice]

Great thank you!!!

Hello, I've just joined, don't know where to look, what is what, I.want.to trade eth, where are these bots?

Do I need to have purchased trading view first?

I really don't get it

[indigo cradle]

@proud mango welcome ☺️ have you connected your account?

[proud mango]

Dicord? Yes..any other accounts I should connect ? I'm totally unsure of what's required sorry..

[indigo cradle]

In the connect accounts dashboard there will be a place for you to connect your TradingView account 🙂

So there you enter your TradingView username

[proud mango]

Ok, I did that...and followed some instructions then got this..

What shall I do?

Thank you very much~

[indigo cradle]

So you can have a max of 3 indicators added at a time on the free plan

So remove the ones you have added currently

And then refresh the page and it should work 🙂

[proud mango]

I have paid for lux...its not the free sample.

[indigo cradle]

You have the free plan on tradingview

[proud mango]

But I can.only have free samples

I've paid for lux, trading view is freedownload...

[indigo cradle]

Lux is an indicator on TradingView. You have a free plan of TradingView which means you have a maximum of 3 indicators you can add to a chart at a given time. Currently you have 3 indicators added

So you need to remove the indicators added on your chart

For example; you most likely have RSI, MACD and probably Stochastic loaded on the chart

Remove these

[proud mango]

Ok, I have Bollinger bands now that's all, ....lux premium is still locked

[indigo cradle]

So now try refreshing the page

And see if it becomes unlocked

Or close and reopen app

[proud mango]

Oh I'm getting it now...

I'll do something else to check

Wait

That's my screen...

[indigo cradle]

Green Lock = unlocked

So you can click it

[proud mango]

I think I've managed it , thank you so much for your tine! So sorry about that

👍 😂

[indigo cradle]

No worries at all 🙂

[quiet crag]

can you please do a video like this for the new candle sticks?

[indigo cradle]

Will be working on content along these lines absolutely

[quiet crag]

should the kantan candles be read the same way as regular heikin ashi?

[quiet crag]

is kantan candles a truer representation to actual price?

[indigo cradle]

They should not; it's a different type of candle 🙂 - and it will be close to the current price but of course not the exact same

[quiet crag]

Gotcha so the different you would think maybe a couple of ticks at the most right? They look pretty close

I love the Yumi candles as well just of course looking for the best approach with them

[indigo cradle]

Both are smoothed approaches so shouldn't differ too much 🙂

I'll be working on some nice content for Yumis

[upper bolt]

does anyone know what are {{plot_#}} variables for exit alerts?

[indigo cradle]

4 and 5 🙂

[upper bolt]

so it's all in order am i correct?

[indigo cradle]

Absolutely 🙂

Yep

[upper bolt]

will it trigger if i set this kind of setting?

because any alert does not give me an option to modify message

[shy relic]

yes, make sure to select once per bar close to avoid unwanted alerts, except if once per minute is what you really want.

[upper bolt]

yes it’s set as once per bar close, it was my minor mistake and I think it’s unrelatable anyways
the thing is exit alert won’t trigger on any confirmation, am I correct?

[indigo cradle]

Correct, the exit alerts are a different condition

Is the exit recommendation available as a variable in an alert message? I could have sworn this info could be found in the TV data inspector, but can't seem to find the mapping similar to "Strong Buy" => "plot_1"

[indigo cradle]

It's plot numbers 4 and 5 🙂

[upper bolt]

@olive apex i've just asked about it, perhaps admins answers will help you in details

[olive apex]

Thanks. Out of curiosity, is there a way I could have figured this out myself?

@upper bolt Ha! I see your comments, funny timing

In order definitely makes sense.

Hi. I just signed up and when I add my trading view username I get this warning. "There was an issue with your username

• Unknown TradingView username. If you've just registered an account, please wait 2-3 hours so the TradingView database can be populated." My trading view account is not new.

[carmine goblet]

yes I did

Ok now it showed up after refreshing.

Also, I have another question, for the Optibot, is it possible to set the sensitivity and agility on tradingview for each stock without changing it for every stock?

[feral lava]

Hmm that’s odd - must’ve entered the username wrong, best to email [e-mail] with your username from here - they’ll ensure you’re setup within 3 hrs or so

[candid storm]

I’m using 4.0 trying to set up alerts. I’m clicking buy and strong buy in settings but I am not receiving alerts and they are not appearing in Tradingview alerts. What am I doing wrong?

[cursive spindle]

I can no longer see institutional activity on my desktop app, it reads ‘inactive’. It’s been like this since the new update came out. Any resolution?

[indigo cradle]

May I see your alert settings?

[indigo cradle]

It just means the activity is low. If you want more precise readings use Lux Metrics; institutional activity is shown there in full

[indigo cradle]

And you've created the alert using the alert menu?

I’ll give it a try Thank You
