  Any chance that you could upload a screen capture of the Bill’s Arrows settings that you personally use in your trading?

    Hi James… In support of the team, I’ve moved away from proprietary indicators and also to a less scalpy style recently. But, if I were to use the arrows today, I’d set it like this:
    
    aggressive trend: false
    aggressive entries: true
    late entries; false
    … and I’d turn chop detection on, of course.
