Strategy overview

This entry sits at number 24 in an ongoing Spanish-language series from ALGOBOX Trading, and its title says "nuevas funciones" — new features — which is the most honest description of what it is: not a strategy pitch but a release walkthrough for a proprietary indicator suite. The names in it (MAC V Filter, Type, Wave, Shark Back, Cross, Golden Rose, Flow Master) are vendor vocabulary, not public technical analysis, so anyone arriving from outside the ALGOBOX ecosystem is reading a glossary before they can read a setup.

That is what makes the chart-layout marker at 2:40 the load-bearing part rather than any single signal. The video specifies a workspace — Type and Wave on higher timeframes for confluence, MAC V, and two execution charts — which means the method is defined by the arrangement of screens as much as by the tools on them. A confluence framework built this way has a cost the tool names never show: each additional chart is another place a condition can be judged as satisfied, and the 5:15 warning about avoiding a "Christmas tree" is the presenter naming that cost directly. It is a caution against loading the workspace until something is always flashing somewhere.

Two other markers point the same way. The "shadows" — grey zones on the MAC V filter, explained at 3:10 — and the note at 4:30 about candles losing their red/green colouring both describe a display that withholds information at moments the trader would most want it, which is a deliberate design choice rather than a defect. The methodology is mixed and no rules were extracted from this source, so what this page can offer is the shape of the framework and the vocabulary it runs on, not a reproducible ruleset.

Frequently asked questions

What is the MAC V filter in this video?

It is a proprietary indicator from the ALGOBOX Trading toolset, presented in this video as a directional filter with grey "shadow" zones. Because it is vendor software rather than a standard technical indicator, its internal calculation is not public and no parameter settings were specified in the source.

Why does the video use several charts at once?

The setup described at the 2:40 mark puts the Type and Wave charts on higher timeframes for confluence and keeps two lower-timeframe charts for execution. It is a top-down arrangement: the higher timeframes establish context and direction, the lower ones handle timing.

What does "avoiding Christmas tree" scenarios mean?

It refers to overloading a chart with so many indicators and signals that something is always lighting up, which makes it impossible to tell a genuine confluence from visual noise. The presenter raises it at 5:15 as a caution about how to configure the toolset, not as a trading rule.

Are the exact entry rules from this video available here?

No structured rules were extracted from this source, and the video is a feature walkthrough for a proprietary indicator suite rather than a rule-by-rule setup explanation. This page covers the framework and the tools it uses; the mechanics of the indicators themselves belong to the vendor.
