mladen thanks you very much! Is it possible to make an EA with this indicator? Thanks!
So you finally got it working eh? Good finally! Actually try changing bollinger band period to 5 on 15 minute chart. Then scalp pullbacks at M1. Good for scalpers.

If it's on M1 it's not too noisy. But only if you are scalping. Here's an M1 chart with M15 TF M5 band. Make sure the pair is moving not some ranging pair. It will be crap.

But scalp on EU not GJ. GJ spread is 1 pip.

{quote} Dear Sir, I don't know how to contact you privately, hence this post. Many thanks for sharing your excellent indicator, and also the indicator here. I would like to write a trend-following MT4 EA that uses iCustom() to retrieve values from both of your indicators, and use them as filters for its entries and exits. As you've been so generous to share the indicators publicly, I believe that I should also share the finished EA on Forex Factory's forum. However, I won't proceed...
Dear Hanover,
Did you had the time to program a EA based on this indicator? If yes, can you be kind enough to share it.

Thank you

I gave up on the EA. The iCustom() calls to these indicators were crashing MT4, and I wasn't able to find out exactly why. I suspect it had something to do with the latest MT4 build not being able to cope with the iCustom() code, which was compiled using MetaEditor/compiler build 509. I do all of my coding using MQL4 build 509.

Ok. Thank you for the explanation, although it is quite a interesting indicator.

{quote} It does not repaint All the best
Hello Mladen, Everyone
I hope im not violating any forums rule by posting this here. ive been trying to code a logic into my EA for while but i cant seem to figure it out.
Hope u can help ..

Scenario
------------
i have multiple op_buy orders opened at same price in this sequence with lots, 0.01,0.03,0.06,0.12...
i want to circle through all the buy orders close them and leave only a certain lot (lets assume 0.02)..
Can you help with some code.
Inserted Code
//+------------------------------------------------------------------+
void MarginProtect()
{
//////////////MARGIN BUY
if(totalBuyLot()>=(Lots*4) && Bid-lastOrderPrice(Op_Buy)>PriceRange*PipValue*Point)
{
double tb =totalBuyLot();
double sb=totalSellLot();
for(int i=OrdersTotal()-1; i>=0; i--)
{
if(OrderSelect(i,SELECT_BY_POS,MODE_TRADES))
{
//////BUY
if(OrderSymbol()==Symbol() && OrderMagicNumber()==OrderId && OrderType()==OP_BUY)
{
if(tb-OrderLots()>(0.02))
{
bool ret=OrderClose(OrderTicket(),Lots,Bid,Slippage,Red);
 
if(ret) tb=-OrderLots();
 
if(ret==false)
Print("BuyOrderMarginClose() error - ",ErrorDescription(GetLastError()));
 
}
else if()
{
///////////This Is Where i Got Stuck Cant Figure Out The Logic
}
}
 
//-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

There should be no reason for crashes
Here is an example iCustom() test call and it works as expected (just a simple trend buffer reading and displaying as comment on the chart)

Many thanks for your reply.

I assume your test case was compiled using build 600 onward. All of my compiles are done using the old build 509. Perhaps the latest MT4 runtime does not like them. Or maybe the problem lies elsewhere. I don't know.

Anyway, I've trashed that EA and will resume work on a new one when I have some spare time. It enter trades in ways that don't require iCustom() calls to 3rd party indicators.

Why?
Because I have a huge number of indicators and EAs written using the pre-build 600 tech. As long as they continue to work correctly, I can't be bothered mastering the new tech and rewriting them. I'm trying to spend more time improving my trading and less time on (needless) programming.

You are probably right : right now I can not test the older builds, but I doubt that build 509 can compile some of the features of the new code correctly. In any case keep us updated on the possibility of it : it is always worth knowing if it can be done or not

happy coding

That indicator simply writes out a comment in the upper right corner with the current state of the trend buffer
It is not an indicator to display values - but a simple iCustom() call test
