Seems to be working very well i've set the minmum candle size on the H4 to 2.8, I think that might be a little high for some of the quieter pairs though, we'll see. Question is should I be trading the quieter pairs anyway.

Hi xaphod, Plamen or any of you other absolute geniuses who have the ability to create these indicators and robots etc.
Would any of you know how to set an audible alert on the tmc or tdi when the red and green lines go above the 68 level or below the 32 level??
Thanks for your help.

Amm... isn't 2.8 (two point eight) value far tooooo small for HA candle to consider it a "good" one??

The size is in PIPS (works fine with X/JPY pairs as well: 80.45 - 80.25 = 20 pips, for example). Hmm.. I was thinking of 10-12 (for H1) and ???? for H4.

Am I missing something..

I thought a setting of 2.8 on the indicator = 28 pips - am I right? Are you saying 2.8 = 2.8 pips? I didn't think .8 of a pip was possible.

I would say about 12 pips for H1 (again depends on which pair).

I'm using about 70 for the daily.

Argh.. lol

2.8=2.8
28 = 28

What You Set Is What You Get :-)) [WYSIWYG]

Again:
2.8 = 2.8 pips
28 = 28 pips

How come you thought 2.8 would be 28 by the way ? :-)

Well it seems to be working e.g a setting of 7.0 is only giving me alerts for Daily candles sizes above 70 pips and 2.8 is only giving me alerts for candle sizes for above 28 pips on the 4H. Maybe we're getting confused with pips and pipettes here maybe. Yes I agree 2.8 pipettes would be way to small! lol !

Looks like it is related to Point() value... Hmm... How many decimals you get from your broker? 4 ? Give me an example for EURUSD and USDJPY please...

I got: EURUSD= 1.43736 (five) and USDJPY= 80.097 (three)

Got it.. Missed that thingy.. Will be fixed soon. For now, just use your "small" values, i.e. 2.8 (yours) instead of 28 (mine).


Thanks for the feedback!

//----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
//so it works with 4 and 5 decimal brokers put this in init and then use myPoint wherever you would use Point in the code
// declare myPoint as double

myPoint=Point;
if((Digits==5)  || (Digits == 3)) myPoint=myPoint*10;

//----------------------------------------------------------------------


//------------------------------------------------------------
//  Determine if symbol has a suffix and use it
//------------------------------------------------------------
  
    Suffix_Size = StringLen(Symbol()) - 6;
    Sym_Suffix = StringSubstr(Symbol(),6,Suffix_Size);

//------------------------------------------------------------

Usage then would be like this in the indicator.

Code:

 MarketInfo("NZDUSD"+Sym_Suffix,MODE_BID);

plamendp, an easy way to make your code universal so it does not matter about 4 or 5 decimal brokers or currency suffixes is to use these two snippets.

[code]//----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
//so it works with 4 and 5 decimal brokers put this in init and then use myPoint wherever you would use Point in the code
// declare myPoint as double

myPoint=Point;
if((Digits==5) || (Digits == 3)) myPoint=myPoint*10;

   double p = MarketInfo("EURUSD", MODE_POINT);
   if ( p == 0.00001 ) doSomethingWith53Decimals();
   else doSomethingElseWith42Decimals();

Yeah, however I use an workaround because there is no iDigits() version of Digits (TMS is Multisymbol). Anyway. Attached indi should work now and haCandleSizeThreshold must be set in *real* pips.



I use the following to determine the behaviour:

Inserted Code

   double p = MarketInfo("EURUSD", MODE_POINT);
   if ( p == 0.00001 ) doSomethingWith53Decimals();
   else doSomethingElseWith42Decimals();

assuming broker is strict about the convention 4-2 (4 decimals for EURUSD/etc and 2 decimals for JPYs and alike).

Yes, it is possible, but I am not going to change the original. Instead I'll make it possible in the Watchdog, which, when set in a given way, is identical to Original.

Hi Plamen,
For some reason the watchdog is not quite working properly when I load it. I have downloaded the latest version.
Once I load it into my expert indicators folder , I open the platform and put it onto my chart. This is fine up to this point. Then I save it as a template. The problem is whenver I open another chart and try and use the template, the watchdog goes haywire (I cant attach an image here so I will post the same message in the indicators for TMS thread with an image you can look...
