Good Afl for Buy & Sell Signals without giving false signals for side ways movement?

[sheldon365]

I trade intraday nifty charts using amibroker and would like a recommendation on a good afl which will give me positive buy and sell signals without giving false signals for sideways movements and false signals for small rises and falls or when it is moving in a very small range. I have tried a lot of indicators and they all seem to give false buy and sell signals especially on intraday charts even when the stock has just moved for 5-8 pts on the nifty,it is not possible to buy and sell so fast which causes a loss most of the time. So I would like to know which afl is good in giving positive buy and sell signals and filter sideways movement.

No afl or trading system is available for intraday.So for tested 500 afl and 20 trading systems.Don't waste your time.

Dear

You can not make money even using paid AFL's, specially in intraday trading. The best afl is your mind & experience.

So is it better not to trade intraday or no trading system works for intraday?

hi sheldon
No one says that dear, actually every indicator is meant to be good only for catching trend or following them
when it comes to short term 5- min chart sideways market it will give may false signals and they are designed like that only,
So u cannot get AFL specially for sideways market and if there is any when trend comes in u are not able to take advantage of the new trend

So my advice is concentrate on Support and Resistance and just try to avoid trading these sideways market

Special tip, Normally dont trade from 11-11.30am to 1.30-2 pm, during this period there is normally sideways market,
before11 and after 2 u will see good volume which will make easy 4 u, Also use good money management

I guarantee u will make good trades with reduced losses....just be patient and disciplined

Intraday trade, you will always only for generating brokerage for brokers. Smart traders will never do intraday. This is my view based on experience. Decision upto you.
