cTrader Forex Trend Surfing question

Fil

Hello! :) The Trend Surfing indicator's sends the alert message even if the trend remains in the same direction. Shouldn't the messages only pop when the dots change colors? Many thanks in advance.

Hi, Can you provide more information, on how many alerts you get in a single trend, can you also provide your user settings as a text file.. Maybe share a screenshot with verticle lines showing when alerts happend

I get an alert every single period/candle. It should only prompt when the dots change their color right?
on a 30min chart I have this:

Ma period 1: 35
Ma period 2: 1.7
Ma type: weighted
confirmation dots: 2
signal spacing: 2
show text: yes

thanks

Thank you, I am running tests and will get back to you soon.

It seems to be working finer with me, tested on a 1-min timeframe, It may be worth noting the indicator will reset each time you work on the chart, it is best to run this on an isolated chart, also, internet connections can cause resets.

You will get an alert when the indicator first starts after 2 confirmations, after this, you will only get alerts each time there is a trend change as shown below.
