B3 Fisher Transform Trader ~ As you may have found, Fisher Transform (FT) is not an easy beast to tame. However, I have never seen an indicator so consistently early to a move, so, I had to pry into it some more. I tend to stick with indicators that work on many symbols and time-frames, but FT isn't one of them. For starters, I only had a small amount of success in back-tests and only with stocks not futures. I did find however that when set to 9-10 and tightly trailed with a signal average and then put to a intermediate chart like 2h to day bars, it seems to have a nice sweet space in back-tests. I found this to work in multiple platforms, and after plenty of testing, I came up with a few personal tweaks to the indicator. Then walking forward the tests have played out like the back-testing, which is key!

Each symbol you trade will have a sweet spot bar interval in that intermediate area, so long as you keep the input setting to 9-10 for the FT and 2-3 for the signal average length. You are welcome to test well beyond these parameters. :)

Here is a quick view of the success the system has had trading AAPL in binary long or short at all times fashion over the last 10 years.
