Tricky indicators

It may sound strange, but there are indicators which change the previous signals. This behaviour of theirs is not of vital importance for the historical test, but it is disastrous for real time trading.

The Fibonacci indicator is one of them. It is based on the Zig-Zag indicator and determines the respective Fibonacci levels between the defined tops and bottoms. With static data they are strictly fixed; with real time data, however, it is possible for the price of some bars to fall and, afterwards, rise sharply. This results in a change in Zig-Zag's "opinion" of the previous peak values; consequently, it can change them. There follows a change in the Fibonacci levels between the last bottom - top. Forex Strategy Builder testing algorithm will take into account these changed values which best reflect the price movement. The problem arises in real trade, where we cannot change the level at which we have concluded a deal.

The difference between the forex strategy back test and the real trade, depending on the chosen logic, may consist in either overstated or understated results.

Practice shows that this is quite tricky. In cases when the result is unrealistically understated, we simply ignore this strategy. In the opposite situation, however, the overstated result can lead to real financial loss.

The only indicator, exhibiting such behaviour at Forex Strategy Builder is the Fibonacci indicator. We have marked it with For Demo Only!

Please, be extremely careful when using it.
