Capturing tops and bottoms is a very expensive hobby. If I posted my workspaces here it would look like a dog's breakfast to you but makes perfect sense to me. In sum, I like tick charts - 89, 144 for YM and 233 for ES. An 8 period Hull and a 21 period Hull provide good indications of market direction. I like TTM or Heikin Ashii on my charts too. I always want to err on the side of the trend when I trade. If you like, you can throw the following code into the jtHMA to provide audio alerts for directional change:

{ Alerts }
if (Value1 > Value1[1]) and Value1[1] < Value1[2] then //Change in Direction to Up
Alert(Symbol + " jtHMA UpTurn")

else if (Value1 < Value1[1]) and Value1[1] > Value1[2] then //Change in Direction to Down
Alert(Symbol + " jtHMA DownTurn");

Hope this helps.
