They’ve been abducted
The code is a bit tricky, 2 indicators overlapped.

Seems like the arrows were there, just not where I expected?
For reference I was browsing through 1M -1H on XAUUSD, on every other pair I can see the arrow sometimes, however it does not show all the time, I increased the bars and scrolled back on pairs where I didn't see any, so I conclude perhaps I don't understand the criteria fully which spawns an arrow my mistake Cagliostro!

That aside, does anyone like fibonacci pivots? I figure since we're trading on a fib, may as well add one last bit of confluence to it..! (I just like them personally)

In a nut shell, 38-78 are your common reversal zones, so I figure the closer the weekly pivots with these numbers are to the top or bottom of the auto fib box, the more likely it is to hold, not guaranteed of course but, giving just another edge.

Anything that trades to the 100 typically hard reverses after, however if the 78 holds, and the 100 is blown through, you can often see a rise to 138, and in rare cases, 161, or 200 normally on those high news days this happens.

Any thoughts? Is it just extra clutter?! I personally like them and I think they fit this system, but alas I'm biased as they typically chart my entire week.

Seriously? You’re complaining about an arrow? The system is literally called “Simple Trading System” — it started with two stupidly easy indicators, and somehow even that’s too much to handle.
Now we’ve got people crying: “The arrow doesn’t show!”, “Can you change the color?”, “Maybe add a button?” No wonder 99% of traders fail — they’re too busy polishing the handle on a shovel instead of just digging.

Stop trying to “fix” what was never broken and start actually trading.

If you read my first sentence I say it does show and I likely don’t understand what causes it to show :) I even say “my mistake”

Great take though 😉

A little secret, I've spent 30 mins to make both the indicators, so they are not polished at all.

Either way the dots and what I presume are trend breaks are visible so I'm fine regardless, I was just curious as to why this was the case!

My main thing here is just the pivots, mine are currently just weekly fibs with HLC, haven't really experimented changing it.

Fib levels to my limited experience are pretty good when normal market structure executes near them. For some of these charts you can see the 38S/R containing the 2 week fib HL, others you see the 78 around the short/long areas in the 2 week fib. With the 100S/R being right behind those 78's the potential for a reversal is increased to some degree, for me this is more of a preparing for the buy/sell in those areas with your STS Momentum to give me the true confirmation.

It's a great addition to my chart, thank you :)

So, when they're more polished, I can't even imagine what it's capable of! Momentum suggested good points in BTC over the weekend, and combined with Oracle, it gave me profits on a couple of trades. I've also seen some good turns in gold. I encourage you to give it a little love; I think it can work great in conjunction with other systems. As always, thank you so much.
