1.Actually, so far Iāve tested no fewer than 3,000 to 4,000 indicatorsāmaybe even over 5,000 by now! Iāve seen all kinds: ones that repaint, lag, or just sit there like duds doing nothing. There are even ones where following the signals always makes you trade the opposite way⦠the list goes on and on.NikaFX wrote: Tue Sep 23, 2025 4:32 pm OMG Kelvin you are literally everywhere on this forum!Its just request after request after request... and then another request!
Serious question: do you actually spend time to test any of these indicators? No hate just genuinely curious!
2.At first, I used to spend money on paid sites to buy indicators, recharging hundreds or thousands (of my currency) at a time. But letās be realāI got scammed more often than not. Those indicators were basically useless.
3..Then I found this forum, plus a few others where pros share stuff for free. I checked them all out and downloaded quite a few indicators from those places. But this forumās by far the best. First off, thereās a group of genius coders here. They actually care about helping people, donāt want anyone to waste time on wrong paths, stick with the community, and share knowledge selflessly. Sure, Iāve seen them hit a few snags now and then, but they always fix things later.
4.Iām not a comp sci majorāmy backgroundās in biochemistry and molecular biology. Not knowing how to code is my weak spot. Right now, the only coding I can handle is for Tongda Xing (a Chinese trading platform): I can read its scripts, and occasionally write simple ones. And I taught myself all that! Oh, and this forum account is my boyfriendāsāmy real nameās Kelly. Super glad to meet everyone here. This place crosses borders, itās like a total private safe space.
5.Iām not bragging when I say Iāve tested so many indicators. I once tried to test over 1,500 MT4 indicators in one night, but I couldnāt pull it off. Even with sneaking in time during work, it took me about 4 or 5 days. Basically, Iād load an indicator up, set it to the 1-minute timeframe, watch it for half a day, and I could tell if it repainted. Iāll keep the ones with ālegitimateā repainting to observe more, but the ones that are just pure nonsenseātotal random repainting? I delete those right away. Thatās my testing routine. Iām really serious and persistent about things. Though I do love shopping, buying nice clothes, chatting with my girls, hitting up bars⦠you know, normal stuff!
6.For the past year or so, Iāve been putting more energy into testing these indicators. Iāve been staying up late, and I think Iām even losing some hair. I know I should sleep earlier. Some nights I donāt hit the pillow till 3 AM, then have to get up at 8 AM. This level of obsession isnāt goodāI need to be nicer to myself. But then I found the SMC indicator, and it totally changed my perspective. Since I use MT5 to trade domestic futures, thatās why I was asking the pros here to help me get an MT5 version. So if any of you experts passing by have the time to convert it, itād be such a big help for anyone here who needs it too. Maybe theyāre just like meāstill searching for a ālighthouseā to guide them through the endless sea of indicators.
