One Catalyst Signal (Smart Upthrust) on One Chart Using Smart Advisor. One method nets 40 pips. Another method nets 173 pips

This chart looks at one signal. There are many others but for this article only the Smart Upthrust is looked at. The Smart Upthrust is a very strong weakness signal but when some warnings are present will almost always fail. When using EOM Targets each trade with no warnings was closed at target except one for a combined total of 40 pips. Signal to signal as a method would have netted approximately 173 with no losses and one trade possibly still on (total assumes close prior to weekend) at the time the screenshot was taken.

No Warning Present:
1. Profitable (EOM and STS)
2. Profitable (EOM and STS)
3. Profitable (EOM and STS)
4. Profitable (EOM and STS)
5. Fails on EOM 4 Step Trade four but continues using STS and is profitable for approximately 50 pips

Warning Present
6. Fails with Warning Trade not taken.
7. Fails with Warning Trade not taken.
8. Fails with Warning Trade not taken.
9. Fails with Warning Trade not taken.
10. I missed this one on the chart originally so it’s out of order. This one worked even with warning which happens at times of course. Just as some trades with no warnings fail occasionally. Personally with my experience on these signals (One of my favorites) I would likely have taken this short anyway.

You can clearly see the difference in how each signal reacted and why the Smart Advisor warnings are so important.
