HOW STEINIZ-MTF-HAS WORKS
EUR/USD Monthly Timeframe (Short)
Here is another example of an image taken straight from the Meta Trader 4 platform. It depicts the "Heiken Ashi Smoothed" (HAS) indicator (on top) and the "MTF HAS Bar Lower A" and "MTF HAS Bar Lower B" (at bottom). This time the monthly trend is down.
EUR/USD Weekly Timeframe (Short)
This chart shows what happens when the Steinitz HAS MTF Robot starts from the highest timeframe (monthly) and scans one lower timeframe at a time until it comes to the first counter trend. In this example if found the (weekly) timeframe as our first counter trend.
As soon as the Robot finds a counter trend as indicated by a blue bar the program goes into "alert" status and waits for the first opportunity to enter the market immediately after a red bar is formed. Notice how the HAS candles tend to shorten as they signal a potential change in trend.
