The next update for Prime Combo Signal sounds exciting. (Late January to early February)

The meaning of the confirmed and instantaneous settings for Prime Combo Signal is vague

I want to know the differences between confirmed and instantaneous for Prime Combo Signal

For those curious, in this article

I will share the differences between confirmed and instantaneous when using the MTF for Prime Combo Signal

not only for myself but also to share with you.

Prime Combo Signal Update (late January to early February)

The update will add more items.

Various updates are planned, including payment methods and entry methods.

Among them,

you will be able to set confirmed and instantaneous for MTF

and

you will be able to toggle confirmed/instantaneous on/off for filters

【Basis and Recap】Differences between instantaneous and confirmed in Prime Combo Signal

As described in the manual,

Not limited to the Heaven and Earth indicatorsthe display changes up to the higher timeframe confirmation

For a 15-minute chart, the icon count required for the 1-hour timeframe to confirm is four.

Let's actually look at the oscillator.

15-minute chart

The Oscillator TF2 is the 1-hour chart. As mentioned earlier, four icons are needed for confirmation.

There are five icons. In other words, one confirmation already exists on the higher timeframe.

At this time,

• If MTF is set to confirmed, TF2 will be green in determination
• If MTF is set to instantaneous, the color will change temporarily for the moment of change

This is what happens.

In Prime Combo Signal, the result is judged by the indicator, so the entry may differ from the actual entry.

However, if future updates set all MTF to confirmed, theoretically the same results as Prime Combo Signal can be obtained.

By the way, let's also check how the 15-minute chart looks on the higher timeframe.

1-hour chart

The 1-hour chart at the same time.

Already one is confirmed in blue (orange frame on the 15-minute chart).

The second one is blue, but this second one has not been confirmed.

There is a possibility that the color changes until confirmation

.

Summary

In Prime Combo Signal, the MTF filter

• If used as instantaneous → judged by color until confirmation
• If used as confirmed → judged only by the confirmed indicators

That is how it works.

As also mentioned in A-busan's post, I feel it is better to use instantaneous for discretionary trading and confirmed for automated trading.

In A-busan's Investment Navigator, for DSATEA’s 1-hour trades, there were many times when the daily chart was confirmed, so personally I prefer the confirmed setting.

Since trends break from lower timeframes, I believe we should carefully choose how to use Prime Combo Signal or DSATEA's current filter to avoid trend reversals.
