Maybe my settings wrong or maybe my internet laggy, idk. It didn’t give ANY trades during London open on ES. Tried reinstalling twice. Not blaming the devs but it wasn’t for me. Support replied fast tho.

Maybe good for pros but I’m new to futures and it kinda overwhelms me.
The entry line + stop + target templates were everywhere
and I couldn’t figure out why a short didn’t trigger even tho arrow was there. Later realized price never went below the signal candle low (oops). Still feels hard to use. -

I’m a veteran scalper (10+ yrs) and repainting indicators drive me nuts. This one doesn’t. Every arrow stays where it fired, even the losers. Perfect. Running it with MA filter ON + short-only for trend days. One thing: wish the audible alert had volume control, but that’s minor.

Not your average ‘arrow spam’ indicator. M Trader waits for the micro structure shift + MA alignment, which basically matches my own criteria for trend resumption plays. When the large colored arrow pops, I already see delta flipping on my orderflow. Having the risk template auto-draw saves me from mis-typing ATM numbers in fast markets. Chef’s kiss.

Honestly didn’t expect much but this thing catches the small-bar = impulse bar pattern like a sniper.
First week using it on MNQ and it nailed 4 clean shorts during the US open. I messaged support and they walked me through the SizeMultiplier setting because I messed it up (my fault lol). Super low slippage and the RR template it auto-drops is actually useful. -

Love it! combines well with my EMA setup, super smooth.
