Install FAQ
1. How to check if you have installed both Butterfly

indicators correctly?
They will need to appear in the indicator’s list after

attaching the Butterfly template to the chart (see image
below).
2. The Butterfly Forex Trend indicator displays as “J”

and “K”. How come and how to solve it?
This happens when the Free Font Wingdings 3 is missing on

your computer. It’s a free Microsoft font that comes by
default with any windows based computer.
Don’t worry, you can download the font for free on this page:
https://www.wfonts.com/font/wingdings-3
Download the font on that page and install it onto your

computer, here’s an example on how to do it:
https://www.wikihow.com/Install-Fonts-on-Your-PC
Or just search “How to install a font for windows (your

version).
Setting up the Butterfly Forex signal alerts
The system comes with onscreen, email and push alerts.
You’ll need to enable the alerts you need from the

indicator’s inputs tab.
How? Right click in the chart and press the indicators list.
You’ll see both indicators, Butterfly Forex Signal and
Butterfly Forex Trend.
Select one indicator at the time and then press “edit”.
Then go to the “Inputs” tab to modify its alerts and some

other input parameters (if you like to experiment with this).
You can enable/disable alerts.
Finally press the “OK” button to save your preferences.

Butterfly Forex Software Usage
The Butterfly Forex system works on any time frame from

M1 up to the monthly.
For scalping purposes, use M1 and M5 trading charts.
For day trading, use the M5 and M15 charts.

For swing trading, I recommend using the M30, H1 and H4
trading charts.
How To Trade With The Butterfly Forex System
1. Buy Signal
Only 3 simple steps needed…
 Open New BUY trade when both the Butterfly Forex

triangle and square buy/sell signal are colored GREEN.
 Place stop loss below the most recent swing low price.
 Take profit when an opposite signal appears on the chart
or at a fixed profit target (see more below).
It’s that easy!
Looking at the M15 USDCHF chart below, both colors are

GREEN (square + triangle), so we open a BUY trade with a
stop placed below the most recent swing low!
Ignore any red sell square signal when the triangle is

colored GREEN!
Exit the buy trade (3 options):
 Exit the trade for a fixed profit target*
 Exit the trade when the triangle (right upper corner of

the chart) changes color from GREEN to RED
 Exit the trade near the previous swing high level

(resistance)
*About the fixed profit target: The vast majority of traders

prefer to go for a fixed profit target. It’s simple and you
don’t need to calculate anything.
Below you will find some typical take profit targets for the
different time frames:
M1 chart: Aim for 10-25 pips
M15 chart: Aim for 25 -40 pips
H1 chart: Aim for 50-120 pips
D1 chart: Aim for 125-300 pips
2. Sell Signal
Only 3 simple steps needed…
 Open New SELL trade when both the Butterfly Forex

triangle and square buy/sell signal are colored RED.
 Place stop loss above the most recent swing high price.
 Take profit when an opposite signal appears on the chart
or at a fixed profit target (see more below).
It’s that easy!
Looking at the M15 EURUSD chart below, both colors are

RED (square + triangle), so we open a SELL trade with a
stop placed above the most recent swing high!
Ignore any green buy square signal when the triangle is
colored RED!
Exit the buy trade (3 options)
 Exit the trade for a fixed profit target*
 Exit the trade when the triangle (right upper corner of

the chart) changes color from RED to GREEN
 Exit the trade near the previous swing low level

(support)
*About the fixed profit target: The vast majority of traders

prefer to go for a fixed profit target. It’s simple and you
don’t need to calculate anything.
Below you will find some typical take profit targets for the
different time frames:
M15 chart: Aim for 25 -40 pips
D1 chart: Aim for 125-300 pips
3. Neutral trend or range-bound price action
In this case, ignore all buy and sell square signals on the
chart until a trend forms again, either up or down.
You can stick with your current open position, if any.
FAQ
Q: I missed the first square entry signal, can I enter at the

next square signal?
A: Yes, but generally, the first square entry signal generates

the most profit.
