A special thank you to Guner for the inspiration.
Without access to the original source code, I carefully studied the behavior of the UpDown V6 indicator through his posts, trying to understand the logic behind its signals.
My goal was to improve entry timing and reduce unnecessary signals. By developing and testing my own formulas, I was able to optimize the system so that it generally produces one clear entry signal, or only a small number of confirmation signals, for each trading opportunity.
Naturally, my indicator uses different rules from the V6 and is built with entirely original code, although its visual design may resemble the way the original indicator works.
In the tests carried out so far, the best-performing configuration has been **EURUSD on the H1 timeframe**. This result refers exclusively to the data analyzed and should not be considered a guarantee of future performance.
My indicator still shares a typical limitation of this kind of approach: during particularly strong trends, the market may continue extending and move by as much as 300 pips against a countertrend signal before the price eventually retraces. For this reason, every signal must be evaluated within the broader market context and supported by appropriate risk management.
Guner’s posts have been a valuable source of inspiration, learning and comparison. They encouraged me to experiment and work hard to develop my own approach and create an indicator that could come even remotely close to the quality of his work.
Thank you, Guner, for sharing your ideas and for continuing to inspire other traders and developers.
