Applying logic that is 1037 ticks or 103.7 pips as there are 10 ticks to a pip ( in forex anyway).
Tick value, your broker should tell you.
Don't trade cryptos, so I would double check.

The following is my understanding. Anybody please feel welcome to correct me if I'm wrong.

The basic unit that Metatrader uses is a 'point', not a 'pip'. A point is the smallest movement that an instrument can make, i.e. it is the final decimal place that you can see whenever MT4 displays price. Some folk call it a 'pipette'. Pit and futures traders used to talk about price movement in 'ticks', not 'pips'.

A 'pip' is explained here. For the major currencies in use in MT4, a pip works out as being equal to 10 points, even for JPY pairs, consistent across virtually all brokers. For exotics, metals, indices, cryptocurrencies etc, a 'pip' has no consistent meaning. That is the (unfortunate) answer to your question, at least as far as I know.

Sorry, I don't know the terminology used for bitcoin, as I don't trade it. You could try Google, or asking your broker (the units/terminology may differ from broker to broker, I don't know), or posing the question on one of the bitcoin forums.

Assuming I understand what you're asking, try watching videos like those here and here. Use Google to find many more.

[Note: I merely Googled "mt4 one click tool help" to find resources that might help answer your question, and those videos were hits near the top of the returned list. I don't necessarily endorse any brokers or products being promoted in the videos.]

Hi,

I haven't used TDI for a long time now, so I can't answer your question off the top of my head.

However, I've just watched the attached TDI indicator for about 10 minutes on the EURUSD, M1 chart. Although the TDI lines moved around (including apparently relative to each other) whenever the chart subwindow replotted itself as price jumped suddenly enough, I kept the mouse crosshair over the most recently completed candle (which I assume is what you mean by "bar 1") with MT4's data window open, and as far as I could tell, the values highlighted in the attached screenshot never changed. Values for previous candles (bar 2,3,4,....) likewise didn't change.

However, if by "bar 1" you mean the current candle in progress, then (obviously) the TDI values change as they are immediately recalculated as they react to changes in price.

Despite being fairly old, the attached indicator is quite comprehensive as it allows MTF TDIs, and also some alerts facilities.

Hope this helps. If I haven't understood your question correctly, please repost and I will try again.

David

thanks for your quick reply. as i said im using the tdi with renko charts, attached, and the problem im having is the most recently completed candle(bar 1) repaints as well when the price moves up and down. not necessarily the values, but the slope of the indicator definitely changes. i know this is a very obscure thing to ask but i was told you'd be the man to speak to and clearly you are. it might not be fixable the way i want it, but basically i just want bar 1 not the move in any way

Renko isn't native to MT4, hence I assume that the M67 chart in your screenshot is a synthetic chart that has been created by an EA. This potentially complicates things, in that it's hard to know whether the repainting is caused by the calculation in the TDI indicator itself, or in the values that it is using in the calculation, that it obtains from the chart that's created by the EA.

TDI is a derivative of MT4's RSI indicator. You could try attaching RSI into a separate subwindow of your chart, to see whether bar 1 of the RSI repaints. If it does repaint, then this would point to the problem being caused in that the value that it's picking up from the EA is somehow changing retrospectively. If it doesn't repaint, then you know that the problem exists within the TDI indicator itself.

Admittedly that doesn't solve your problem, but it does get you one step closer to identifying its probable cause. And if you're going to have a programmer fix the problem, he would first need to know whether he needs to change the renko EA, or the TDI indicator.

again thanks for your help. i use the offline renko chart generator i found on here that is actually an indicator, and not an ea. https://www.forexfactory.com/showthread.php?t=684131

so im not sure if that rules out the charts or not but what i can say is when i reconstructed the tdi indicator using the mt4 rsi i experienced the same problem, so im thinking its specifically the TDI indicator but i could be wrong. i'll experiment with a different renko chart maybe

Hi Hanover,

Do you know of any text /headline/template/bigger text font indicator which can be used to print small or big text with colorful fonts or backgrounds on the screen for the purpose of teaching or describing the template saved?

Kindly provide the links for such indicators.

Thnak you.

Please excuse me, as I'm struggling to make sense of your request.

Text as displayed on a MT4 chart as objects. The text in the object description is displayed on the chart, up to a maximum of 60 characters. The font, size, colour etc of the text is determined by the object's settings. A script, indicator, or EA is capable of creating and plotting objects with whatever settings are specified by the program code.

An indicator can't possibly know what you are trying to teach, and therefore what text you want to display. Hence what I suggest is that you manually create your own text objects along with your desired fonts, sizes, colours etc, and then save these as part of the template (or create a new template specifically for the education, if you want to leave your original template intact).

Hence the simple answer is that I doubt that any such indicator exists, for the reasons that I gave.

Sorry if I've misunderstood. Please feel welcome to post again to clarify further, if you wish.

Sorry for causing confusion. I remember u had posted 10 years ago a couple of indicators which could display text on the chart. Text had to be input in the indicator or loaded from the set files.
