I have come across this indicator but can't remember how to find it. Can someone point me where I can search for this indicator or even better attach it here?

This indicator has buttons of all available currency pairs on your current chart and all you do is select the currency pair/time frame you want to look at by clicking these buttons.

Here is two modified versions which should do what you want.

Can anyone design a stochastic indicator that pop alert and show arrow at any cross level. This stochastic is good for following trend when combined with MA. This stochastic pop alert at any cross level, I don't want the one of 80 and 20, not overbought or oversold only. But pop alert also at either 10, 30,40, 50, 60...any level....
Any one or programmer please...

This indicator is awesome! Just what I was looking for.
Is there anyway I can get all currency pairs sorted? Its hard to find the currency pair I am looking for without any order in it.

You can alter the order of the Pairs by drag and drop in the Market watch, just highlight a Pair by one click and hold down the mouse button and shift the Pair on the list then release the mouse button, or if you are using the "Symbol Changer profit display v1" go into the inputs and use "Select Pairs Display option" to select "Manually select Pairs by the Trader" then add your own Pairs to the "Own Pairs Selected" input. So you have the option of all the Market Watch Pairs sorted as you want them or just use the Pairs you usually trade by manually inputting them. You can save your inputs by using the Load/Save buttons on the indicator edit window if you use the manual option.

Wanted to report this issue with the indicator. Let me know if and when it will be fixed.

This problem is only when you select the manual select pair option. my currency pairs are 9 characters and it seems it is not able to handle anything beyond 7 characters. It is not displaying it correctly nor it is able to pull proper charts when you click on it. Below you will see the example of my currency pairs and also a screenshot of how it is displaying it.


EURUSDpro,GBPAUDpro,GBPCADpro,GBPCHFpro,GBPJPYpro,GBPNZDpro,GBPUSDpro,NZDCADpro,NZDCHFpro,NZDJPYpro,NZDUSDpro,USDCADpro,USDCHFpro

It looks like more of a display issue to me as the timeframes are up under the Pairs buttons. The OS font size needs to be set at 100% or smaller because MT4 does not handle any other settings very well. Try that and see if that works, and if that does not work send me a link to your Broker and I will see if I can fix it.

Thanks for the update. Still some issues that I wanted to report you:

1) The label on it still says v1 instead of v2. This creates confusion. See screenshot below. Not so important for me.
2) When entering manually all my pairs....seems like there is a limit of 275 characters. Based on my need of 28 currency pairs with "pro" suffix and "," between each of them I need 280 - 1 = 279 characters to be input in that field. It seems like it strips everything above 275. So in my case it strips the "Dpro" part of my last currency pair "USDCADpro" and displays only "USDCA" See screenshot below.

My mistake...it seems like the limit is 256 characters. I doubt this is a limit on your code....I believe it the MT4 limit that is not possible to overcome. My suggestion is to give 2 lines for manual entry so you get a total of 512 characters and have the code read from both lines.

Please let me know your thoughts?

Or load the indicator twice by changing the "Indicator unique ID or magic number"

Here is the the indicator with a small internal update, the name on the window is dictated by the "unique ID" that is why it showed as v1 on your chart as I left the ID the same as the previous version.
NOTE : My screenshots have v2/v5 in the name however it could be anything like "12345" if you want as long as the ID is different for each indicator loaded on the same chart.

Thanks for your reply. That's a good work around. I like that. But I still don't like how it looks when I load the indicator 2 times. So I chose to rather use the "Auto setting" and hide all pairs in Market and sort them the way I want...That produces the exact result I want.

Thanks again for everything! This is an awesome indicator! Has made my life so much better. I would have not mind to even pay a small fee for this awesome indicator.

Regards

This I think is probably the final update
NOTE : You cannot change the name or the indicator will not work.
The input options are :
1/ Select Pairs automatically from the Market Watch
2/ Manually select your own Pairs
3/ Select all MT4 Timeframes automatically
4/ Manually select your own choice of Timeframes
5/ Chose to display the Pairs Buttons
6/ Chose to display the Timeframe Buttons
7/ Move the Timeframe Buttons separately from the Pairs Buttons
8/ Set the Timeframe Buttons row number separate from the Pairs Buttons
