hi guys i have found this pivot afl here at the site.......i m sure many of u have seen it....there 2problem with this afl ==
1) the arrows get vanished in case of wrong trades....arrows shuld remain so that we can see wrong trades also nd test it...
2)the arrows of buy-sell comes aftr 1 day delay
can anybody rectify/edit this formula so that these problm gets solved
yeah guys sorry i know i have forget the afl nd thats why i have posted a new thread....may be u guyz have not seen that....soory.............here is the afl=
