On http://www.earnforex.com/metatrader-indicators/Fisher, you explain the use of indicator as going long when the bars change to green or short when they change to red. However, you should include a warning along the lines of 'The user must ignore any historical output of this indicator. The indicator adjusts the value of prior bars based on subsequent price data.'
I disagree this behaviour is obvious. Most people assume that indicators are static and what they're seeing on the chart historically, accurately represents what was shown in real time. Unless you're specifically looking for repainting/recalculating, it would be easy to miss. |
That's obvious because after applying this indicator on the chart you may see it change the previous bars when the new bar has formed. But OK, it looks like that's not so obvious after all. I'll add that warning to the download page.
BTW: This thread doesn't have any unmoderated posts, so I don't know why do you say that I didn't allow or didn't approve a post here.
