Hi Thread, Not been here for a while but got back here now. I am having problems with the buy sell arrows not showing, I have cleaned out all indicators and downloaded the latest set from the thread but it seems not to be working properly. I really like the buy sell arrows and would really appreciate any help if possible.
Hello friend, welcome back, today I am going to configure my setup to operate for the next few months, how much version of BTBA are you using?

Hi mate, sorry you are having issues and very sorry I have not been around in the thread much of late to respond more quickly.

There are multiple reasons why this could be happening.

I would check first whether the arrows are appearing on different time frames, just switch to a higher TF and make sure you zoom your chart out a bit. If they are appearing then it's likely you need to adjust the pip distance setting in the latest BTBA version to a lower value. I have my distance set at 10 pips for XAUUSD, but 10 pips for standard pairs is a long way away from price, especially when you are looking at the M1 chart zoomed in up close. Standard pairs you can probably set the pip distance at 1 or 2 pips, whatever is your preference, and this is also dependent on your TF.

If after you have checked the above and they are still not appearing correctly then it may be something to do with the file names, i.e. if you downloaded the latest set of indicators BEFORE deleting the existing ones the new ones would have (1) or possibly (2) at the end of the file name, which would cause an error. I realise you mentioned you cleaned out the indicators and downloaded the new set, but I am just checking this is the order in which you did this.

If the issue still persists after checking these things then it is something I probably need to look at myself over a Zoom session, if that is what you feel would help? I have done that with a few thread members here and I have been able to get people up and running. Let me know in a private message.

I also have a problem with the indicator, there are pairs where the arrow appears and in others it doesn't
Turns out it was working normally, I really don't know what could be happening.

GBPJPY appears arrows
EURUSD and several other pairs are no longer appearing
The strange thing is that it was normal until yesterday
I'm confused, and I don't know which setting I should change to try to get it working again

Hi thread.

I am also having the same issues with the BTBA indicator where the arrows are no longer appearing in real time. They will appear if I change timeframes and change back again, or they will appear again if I open the Indicator Settings and then close again.

This issue could be the result of the recent MT4 software version update to Build 1415, but that update happened on March 1st and these arrow issues only started happening these past couple of days, so I doubt this is the cause.

Please note this indicator was coded for me by the team at MT4programming.com. I have emailed them asking for their assistance and I hope to bring you an update on this over the coming day or two. Thanks for your patience in the meantime.

Hi Kirk et al

I recently been looking into this indi/thread and see some promise. I've also been trying the indi on Renko charts in order to get 'cleaner' signals and this does seem to be the case, but arrows seem to appear/disappear and then reappear on the 'correct' bar.
This seems similar to the realtime issue you describe, but a little different.

Thanks

Paul

Hi Paul.

This is not designed to work with Renko charts, sorry. It might be possible to recode the indicator so it does work, I don't really know enough about how Renko and offline charts work to know whether this is possible, but recoding this indicator is not something I am open to considering.

In any case I don't see it being related to the current issue with arrows not appearing correctly, as the BTBA indicator has never worked properly with Renko charts to my knowledge.

OK, while waiting for a reply from the coding team I may have had some success myself, it remains to be seen...

Attached is the latest version of the BTBA V5.0 (both versions, one with exit alerts and without).

This latest version introduces the Kuskus_Starlight indicator as an additional filter, and I find it works really well. It helps to filter out bad signals and allows you to stay in a trade longer. You will therefore notice in the main settings there is a new option called Kuskus_Starlight Threshold with the Default value being 30. You can experiment with this value of course, but I personally find the default value works just fine.

Attached you will see I have added ALL indicators that are being used by this latest indicator version. IT IS RECOMMENDED YOU DELETE ALL EXISTING INDICATOR VERSIONS AND DOWNLOAD THE LATEST VERSIONS FOR THIS TO WORK.

This latest version is working perfectly for me, all arrows are appearing in real time as they should, so I can only assume it will work as designed for others. If not then you are welcome to post in here and I will do my best to assist. But please note if I find you have not followed the directions as outlined in this post (i.e. delete all existing indicator versions and download the latest versions) I will simply refer you back to re-read this post.

I find it useful to load two separate versions of the BTBA V5.0, with the following settings selected:

1) BTBA V5.0 indicator 1
- Show Only Base TF Alerts selected
- Only Show First Entry Arrow set to No.

2) BTBA V5.0 indicator 2
- Show Only HTF Alerts selected
- Only Show First Entry Arrow set to Yes.

You can see on the attached screenshot how this looks, it is a lot cleaner. I have not experienced any issues with lag, but I wouldn't change the PLOT_MAXIMUM_BARS_BACK value to any more than the default value of '5000'.

Lastly, while you are welcome to add all of the available indicators to the chart YOU DO NOT NEED TO DO THIS. It clutters the chart window and reduces the available space for the candles to appear. The arrows do all of the heavy lifting - if an arrow appears you can safely assume that all indicators are in agreement without having to see this happening in a separate indicator window.

I hope this is helpful in your trading journey, but please, as always, realise that the arrow signals are NOT meant to be followed blindly. Use these signals at your own risk and by using your own discretion, preferably in confluence with an existing strategy you are already confident with.

Best wishes, everyone.

I see some people have already downloaded the latest BTBA V5.0 but about half of these people have downloaded the rest of the required indicators that allow the BTBA indicator to function.

AGAIN - if you do not have ALL attached indicators downloaded and pasted into your / Indicators folder the BTBA will not work. Please read the above post before blindly downloading and assuming it will work for you.

Hi Kirk,
I said I would study the system and am ready to download the BTBA, as I don't have any previous data d/loaded hopefully this latest version will be OK.

In your chart posted above is it Indicator 2.

Thank you for your valuable time and effort on this work, and hopefully you have retired for the evening, some of us never know when to go to sleep.

Ben

You are welcome, although I am starting to see a few problems with the HTF arrows again. The Base TF arrows should not be a problem, they seem to work perfectly well. Let me know if you have any issues.

I have sent another email to the programming team. Hoping I can get this sorted asap...tired of seeing these issues happening.

Received a reply from the coding team. The main guy who I have been emailing is away on leave and is due back over the weekend sometime.

If people are having any issues please let me know so I can collate this information and have it ready for him.
