- The indicator places Semaphore points on the maximum and minimum of a higher, medium and lower period.
- It includes A,B,C Triangles for easier spotting of reversal chart pattern which occurs very frequently and has a very high success ratio.
- Both Semaphore and A,B,C Triangles have Alerts and Push notifications to a mobile device when they occur on the chart.
- These indicators are very useful for breakout trading and spotting support/resistance levels which gives good opportunities for positions.

I have had this since June 25th. The premise is good and I understand how it may benefit the trader. I have 5 different semaphores, and many were free, but adding the triangle makes good sense. However, unless you are sitting at the computer and flipping through 28 pairs and a multitude of time frames, it will be difficult to catch the trade. I am a swing trader and I understand it takes time for the triangle to appear, but what do they call it when a signal shows up and then disappears? Isn't that called "repainting? I have had triangles show up, but disappear. In fairness, the indicator is not expensive, but nobody should only be given five activations. I trade on many devices and in two weeks I only have two activations remaining. If things change I will update the review for the others. Update. Many of the signals have played out well. As promised, I revisited the review and moved the rating.
