Yeah, I've still got a few pages to read since I left. I'll be sure to check out the variations which have been working for you. In the end, if makes money then it's exactly what we're after. I have to agree with both of you on trend. If there were ...

Amen! Pips are a useless figure to point out alone. I've always found it funny how everyone seems to quote everything in pips. I hope they don't all manage their money in pips as well! Anyway, good job bringing up percentages as this will hopefully ...

I know exactly what you mean. I guess the question I have is really: When looking at a higher high, if the price was even higher just 4 or 5 candles ago, is it really a higher high? It would be higher than the previous peak, but if the peak before ...

You're welcome. Quick question Bill: Do you pay attention to trend? I see quite a few trades in this thread where a higher high is compared to a lower high while the trend is moving down. When I set the TrendDistanceCandles property in my indicator ...

Congratulations on your wins. I'm not sure if either of those buys really adhere to the method as originally laid out by Bill though. The top chart looks like divergence, but there is a lot of noise in between the lows. I think Bill would usually ...

Corellation Value — I forgot to explain one of the options on the Overlay indicator. UseValue (true/false) This defines whether the indicator will draw itself using the relative value of the chart symbol vs. the sub-symbol or, if set to false, ...

I'm back (finally) — Hey guys. I have to appologize for being gone so long, but I got busy and then was kind of burnt out on metatrader programming. Anyway, here are the new files. As a quick refresher, the Overlay is an indicator and the ...

I've been running this through the backtester and I think it might be better to lock in the Long/Short entry lines once the target percent has been reached. Either that or to disregard the current percentage for a Long/Short entry line break once ...
- LucidObscuri replied Sep 21, 2009
OK, I've added quite a few additional options. You will get a signal, as before, when the percentage reaches your target. You will also get a signal when the percentage is equal to or less than your target and the current candle crosses the upper or ...

Ah Ha! I think I just got an idea. I'm going to do what metatrader should be doing for me. I'll copy the whole candle array into a new one and everytime I come across a missing candle I'll use the close price of the previous candle to create a flat ...

In fact, now that I think of it, this is really quite bad functionality by metatrader. It should know better since a missing candle will throw off all period based indicators. If it's true that there were literally zero ticks durring that period ...

This makes sense since when you drop the overlay of USDCHF on a USDCHF chart they are both missing that candle, so everything lines up. The problem comes in when EURUSD has that candle, but USDCHF does not. On the 5M chart I have lots of missing ...

OK, I've added a font size option and change the text. I also noticed the boxes were drawing on top of the current candle, so I fixed that. Before I modify the padding I've got a question about your entry point for this strategy. At first I thought ...

Hey guys. I'm really fighting with the missing candle issue. I didn't have the problem on the 15M+ timeframes, but I took a look at the 5M and the issue is very prevelant. I've tried deleting my data and refreshing (from the broker), but no luck ...

I got board today. Here ya go. NOTE: I posted this a minute ago, but I had to make a change since it would signal you to death. This will only signal once per candle.

Unfortunatelly that file is not human readable as it is the compiled version (the mq4 files are the source code). I could decompile it, but it makes the code ugly and boxes aren't hard to do anyway. I see what you mean about the buffer. Once I ...

Sorry, I forgot to include something. You do have to use ticksize to scale tickvalue properly. Here's what I do. double getLots(double stop, double risk, string symbol) { double l, val = MarketInfo(symbol, MODE_TICKVALUE), size = MarketInfo(symbol, ...

I'm not sure what you mean by this. If you'll elaborate I'll see what I can do.

Oops, I got my ECN logic backwards. Here ya go. If I get time I'll add color bars.

Indicator — I think this is what you're looking for. If not let me know. Happy Trading.
