1. hi sir i have created my own indicator and it is using the current data, can u explain how to switch it to from using current data to frozen data please, thanks
2. Hi Pete,
   I have 2 questions if you have the time to answer. Its TOS platform offer the option to make the trades automatically when you use their strategies ? or is there a way to do that?
   
   For example I use a lot Hacolt strategy, and I just twitch the time frames for P/L positive and go for it, but I work throughout the day and I miss key entry points, I could not even find a way to create an alert for the strategy actions, only for studies. So the other question is, can I create at least an alert on my phone? when an entry/exit point occurs.
   
   Sorry for the off topic questions, I respect your work and I enjoyed all your videos. I will give it a shot to MTF as well.
   Thank you,
   Cheers
3. Can I donate? I won't be able to give much but I want to at least give some.
