If looking into future/repainting signals, it creates lots of fear while trading. Avoid this.

Initially when i saw the chart & code, i thought its Holygrail. Anyway, thanks for author

I think this is a great system. Once we create buy and sell signals for this system, its usefulness will be greatly enhanced. Many thanks for such great work and great post!

system based on Support & Resistance level on UPPER or Lower Bollinger Band
thats whay its Repainting ……………

one can keep Watching it for one week to understand it

Keeps repainting signals
Also in real time gives signals after 10 bars , which is of no use.
Kindly modify to change the afl. Also it should not keep repainting signals.

When i move the cursor on the chart, the info panel of amibroker keeps on flickering. Please let me know how to rectify this.
