Latest version of the PSI tool delivers new special look aimed to bring you Detailed Account Statement for all important statistics. The integrated MT4 is not accurate. It does not account correctly for Deposits, Withdrawals and completely ignores cases like hedged trades, break-even trades, other broker related credits, bonuses and so on events and as a result all statistics like draw-down, total trades, average win size, rate and so on are totally skewed. PSI corrects these mistakes. In the example below a demo account was aimed to represent such case. The Maximal and Relative Draw-down according to MT4 were whooping 44% while the majority of this draw-down was achieved at time when the account was more then 10 times bigger after a huge deposit. So in a effect all trades were partitioned by their contribution at the account current state. So in reality the draw-down was much smaller in % terms at all times. In addition there are other tools and statistics. Like holding time, consecutive trades, two nearest Peaks and latest recovery against them. This is useful if you follow ICT recommended MM tactics to dial down risk after a loss and dial up only if you recover at least 50% of the latest drop in equity. You can also target the Report for only one specific instrument and ignore others or add or subtract amounts from the balance to fit your specific needs. Let say you deposited only 20% of your dedicated money at the broker and leave the rest at your account but you trade as if you deposited them fully. So with this indicator your account statistics will be based on the full dedicated amount not what is shown in MT4. In addition to the Account Report there is an option to totally ignore any Transfers (Deposits, Withdrawals, Broker related funds) and just focus on the statistics with Simulated Starting Amount. It works also in conjunction with focusing option on a particular pair only.

Latest version of the PSI tool adds ICT Fractals (or 3 consecutive candles price swing study) as well other options hiding labels, buttons or both but keep some the price studies on chart.

Latest PSI updates include the following:
• Lots of improvements on the Forex Sessions and the Day on Focus ranges. Also added ICT Killzones with ability to focus the range on the majority of the volume (candle bodies) instead of the candle wicks.
• Added range labels for all sessions as well as other tool-tip descriptions for each plotted line or tool.
• Added special button layout with minimum names and space taken.
• Divided the tool different options in categories with most frequently changed options on top for better use and customization.
• Each category has basic explanation and credits the popular and original source for its inspiration. Research on these is recommended.
• New button for easy switch between primary and secondary favorite display options.
• New On/Off button to hide and to display the selected options. Useful if for a moment the user wants to hide the labels for more chart area.
• Added Vertical Line for the NY Midnight Open or any custom period.
• Also the AVR Price and Past Results have new abilities like:
- add dividends for past performance results;
- new other options for Allowed Margin tolerance on new trades;

Added new functionalities to PSI.

Among them warnings if Margin Requirements are exceeded or when preset Margin Level is Reach for new position. This means the Risk should be lower to lower the Position Size. Either by lowering the Risk or manually prefer lower ATR.

Also there is a warning if a traded based on the last closed price already hit stop loss or take profit is not valid.

Added new button for ATR Stop Loss and Take Profits calculated based on the Live Prices or much better on the last candle Closed price.

Close means that the referential price for entry is the last candle close. This gives advantage to enter in much better risk to reward ratios (if you delay your entry for some reason) and the targets are calculated on the time of the signal. This is due to the fact the majority of indicator signals or price action patterns are confirmed only after the candle is closed not during its shaping.

If you are much closer to the candle's closing (something you can also check in the indicator under in the candle remaining time) you may switch to Live prices as they will be much more closer to the next referential price as the previous one could be already way off.

PSI Algo

This is a simple but effective Forex trading algorithm.

Strong points of this algorithm:
- Ability to take stronger or earlier signals;
- Ability to quickly exit losing trades;
- 2 confirmation filters to reduce weak signals;
- Identifies take profit or compounding opportunities;
- Excellent for trailing stop and break even stop management;
- Excellent to test your Money Management skills;
- Excellent to test your charting abilities to identify trend and avoid consolidation;
- Excellent to test your ability to utilize volume confirmation indicators;
- Excellent to learn how to behave and take full advantage during strong trends;
- Pairs with Flexible ATR indicator;
- Free and very flexible with lots of extras for best user experience;
- Right out the bat Take Profit and Stop Loss suggestions;
- Current Market Bias before the candle close and signal status is updated;

Weak points of this algorithm:
- Comes without volume confirmation;
- If not properly used can produce consecutive scrap trades during periods of low volume and range price action;

So, what you can do with it and what you should be using it for?

You should be using this algorithm for learning purposes only. PSI Algo is heavy on visualization so it will help you better understand the market and your psychology and how you react to it. Use it to test how you stand in avoiding consolidation and taking full advantage of strong and lasting trends. Test your Money Management skills. If you don’t have all those skills, you will not be able to take advantage of this algorithm (and anything else) and you should aim to improve yourself. If you already possess these skills chances are that you have acquired a successful strategy and you don’t need this. However, you can still use this to test new ideas – like new volume or exit indicators, etc.

Disclaimer:

PSI Algo is profitable if you have what it takes to be a successful trader and apply it in a system. If you don’t, even though you will get an adequate entry and exit signals, you will screw it up. So don’t rush it. Just test on Demo account to see how close you are to master those skills. Use higher time frames for better results. Your goal should be to learn and develop your system by aiming to:
- avoid consolidations;
- identify trends;
- avoid weak low volume markets especially during Asian session;
- set proper risk (MM);
- learn managing your trades – trailing stop, exit, scale out and take profit, even compounding;

With all these in mind aim at least to be break-even (on Demo) and if you can you are going into the right direction where you can try to develop your own style and a complete system. Naturally by adding more pieces to the puzzle – like applying confirmation patterns, indicators, etc.

So DO NOT TRADE ON REAL, especially if you don’t have any successful trading experience with PROPER Money Management. If you don’t understand what is said here, DO NOT TRADE ON REAL BUT TRY TO LEAR ON DEMO! This is not a magical indicator that will replace a good trader, but will help you getting closer to be one.

Despite all of that’s been said here, if you still arrogantly of foolishly ignore the warnings and prerequisites to be successful and loose real money on Forex – it is not my fault. It is not because of me, or your broker, or the weather. It is because you are EXTREMELY stupid.

Read the Manual for better understanding of how to use PSI Algo in MT4 and read the signals.

Have fruitful learning experience.

Enjoy!

Manual for PSI Algo

Main objects
- Chart symbols indicating different signals generated from the algorithm as well as the current information on the side with real time recommendations and commentaries;
- Buttons to switch between Sell and Buy preview and switching on and off Filters;
- Arrow Up symbol indicates a Buy signal;
- Arrow Down symbol indicates a Sell signal;
- The bigger the arrow the stronger the signal is as it can have Tier 1, Tier 2 or both Filters support;
- Tick means that the current signal is still valid but showing weakness (Tier 1 Filter disagrees with the entry). So, at this point taking profit or reducing the size of the trade and move the stop loss to break even for the remaining part is recommended;
- Pointing triangle means that on the last candle one or two of the filters previously in disagreement with the signal now confirm it. This could be used for compounding or as a continuation trade if you already closed your position on this signal. Shows on chart for non-selected filters.
- Cross means an opposite signal is activated. This should be used as an Exit signal for the current trade. Depending on the activated Filters not always and Exit will mean a valid opposite entry.
- By adding the Filters, you reduce the number of signals to only those which have more strength by multiple confirmations.
- By ignoring the Filters you can still use them for early exit or adding more to your position you even enter earlier (more aggressive style) in the market at better price.
- By examine the current Bias you can manage your position before the close. Note that the signals are generated only after the candle is closed. The current Bias is the picture in this moment as if the candle closes like this, but until it does it can change and reverse. That is why valid signals are only when a period of examination is ended.
- Filter 1 is excellent for avoiding trading against the trend or if there is not momentum. It also signals early take profit opportunities and even continuation trades on the active signal.
- Filter 2 gives more validity and overall strength to the signal. Very aggressively it can even be used to stay in a position even if a counter signal is activated. Given in mind if the Stop Loss, Money Management and your analysis allows it of course. Trading against this Filter is not wise decision especially in higher frames so if the algorithm already told you to close your position and Filter 2 is also not in your favor probably you should.
