Your strategy and indicator seem to be ok. Your trading condition is too tight that's why you get seldom signals. Also, if you trade using bars, the condition is evaluated in the first tick where open/close/high/low are similar. If you trade using ticks, the condition is evaluated every tick. What you want to do is trade using bars but looking at the previous bar. Change the shift in the TA icons for 1, to evaluate the condition in the previous bar when you get the first tick of the current bar.
Thanks guys - yes the issues was I was using current bar, not i+1...switching to test the i+1 (completed) bar works a treat...the strategy is rubbish but the indicator is working!
Many thanks for excellent support
