FoundLuxWhat it is built for
- Clear impulse moves in which several indicators take part
- If you want to filter out false signals from single indicators
- Together with the optimizer, which searches the parameters systematically

Confluence Engine Indicator bundling
The Confluence Engine does not rely on a single indicator. It combines MACD, RSI and the Ehlers SuperSmoother into one number — the score. It only trades when this score crosses a threshold.

How it works
The score
Each indicator makes a contribution. The sum gives the score. A single twitch is therefore not enough — several have to point the same way.
The trend filter
In addition, the next higher timeframe is checked. If it points down, buy signals from the small timeframe are discarded.
The time stop
A position that has reached neither target nor stop after a set number of candles is closed. Otherwise it just ties up margin without making up its mind.
What you set
| Setting | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Timeframe | On which level entries are searched for — eleven to choose from |
| Threshold | How clear the score has to be before it trades |
| Stop and target | As a percentage of the entry |
| Time stop | After how many candles without a decision it closes |
| Cool-down | Minimum gap between two entries |
Everything through forms — no code. Backtest and the Top 50 optimizer run at the push of a button.
When it does not work
- Sideways markets. There all three indicators produce false signals, and bundling helps little because they are wrong together.
- Over-optimisation. Precisely because the optimizer can test very many combinations, the temptation to hit the past perfectly is great. That is exactly what then fails in the present.
- Sudden news. Indicators calculate from the past. A price jump out of nowhere catches every one of them unprepared.
No bot always wins. Each of the eight has market phases in which it loses — that is why the box on the right is on this page at all. That is exactly what the demo account is for: let it run until you have seen a bad phase, not just a good one.
