I understand what you're saying. I'm pretty much self taught by playing around with code and never really had any sort of class or proper structure while learning it. It would probably be best to look into more conventional coding practices. Now ...

There is a big flaw with testing code on a live chart. It takes time... a lot of time. I could not have a signal for this for a month or more which isn't viable at all. Plus it's a strategy only traded during certain times of the day. On top of that ...

What would make this fail in the tester though? I haven't tested this on actual live charts.

Thanks! That will get me closer to figuring it out. I'll be trying to code it once I finish my current EA project.

It's not just about support and resistance, it's also the advanced patterns, double tops and bottoms, head and shoulders, wedge patterns etc etc. Which still leaves me to the question of how the code works and what the parameters exactly do.

My goal here is to learn how to program my own zigzag indicator which I can then use to mark more advanced things on a chart like support and resistance zones, advanced patterns, etc I know that it's a lagging indicator and that it won't predict ...

Alright here is a little update! So in order to fix it constantly running which I checked by printing stuff I put in an if statement which is this one: "if(rates_total > prev_calculated){}" This prevents anything from running if there isn't a new ...

Alright so it took me a little while to figure out what exactly everything meant however when I put in the code and put a print it within the for loop it would continue to print every tick no matter what. It seems to be fixed if I change this piece ...

You sir are a genius. I can't believe the fix was so simple. I'm going to blame this on my inexperience and do it yourself learning. I spent a good 5 hours trying to figure it out and all I found were workarounds that didn't fix anything. I'll edit ...

That would be "Lows[ii] = Low[ii];" in the second while loop.

From what I can see that is what my "Limit" does already however I still inserted it into the code just to test and even tried it in several positions however the error persists. I'm honestly baffled as to why it's giving me the error. This is a ...

If I split the while loops into 2 indicators it works perfectly with not a single error but not when they're in there together. It's not accessing anything that's not there either. So I'm not sure why it says it's out of range.

Hey guys, A little update! Thanks to this wonderful video I've figured out how it's drawing stuff as well as how to do it myself. video If you guys have any information on the rest of my questions let me know since I have yet to figure that out.

For me personally it's not quite there yet. Way to volatile, no regulation and it's not established enough yet.

Anybody that says a set amount of years doesn't know what they're talking about. You don't need an X amount of years. What you need to do is test your strategy over a period that has different market conditions as well as a large enough sample size. ...
