It is generally a trend following system. And once i tried to correlate it with checking what type of periods it is using. But problem was that it was having random pivot periods. And then i asked Linkon sir, who told me that it is trend following system and very slow to follow on EOD basis.
To be frank, i dont know how the afl is written, other then that it calculates the pivot high or low of last few periods. Out of which i just derived the common fact that whenever price breaks the last range and closes above that, it is because of force in that direction is increasing. Momentum is gaining to that side, in the particular time frame we are working in. Also price goes up by breaking the previous range to upside, and down to breaking the range to downside. Thats how the charts are formed. I never complicated the theory with the understanding of the AFL. I just sticked to the basic theory of breaking of previous high to gain more height.
CCI and Pivot both act as a filter to each other. If one is right and other is wrong we dont take the trade. Both should be suggesting momentum in the direction. Remeber the entry points i discussed in the First Post.
