- Specific RU filter < 4
(The specific filter value is not reported with the alert, It is possible to set a minimum value but not a maximum value, so you can't use this filter because it need that you put a maximum value of 4.
In trade-Ideas API, this specific filter value is reported so i can discard all alerts that have Specific RU filter > 4.
To resolve this problem and let you use this trading system and future trading systems that use specific filter, i will create a little software that use Trade-Ideas API. This software will show you specific filter value for each alert reported.
Should be ready in two weeks)
