Limitations of Intraday AFL

This AFL cannot continue a signal from previous day. In the example of SuperTrend, if ST continues in sell signal from yesterday, this AFL cannot plot fresh Sell signal at market open. For this purpose, the complete modification of original afl is required. Please share your coding requirement in comments section or avail personal consultancy.
