New version "smACME Rectangle_v2.1" The algorithm has been changed a bit because in the first version only rectangles with 4 bars were considered. Now, some overlaps of congestion areas are avoided . {image} {file}
Thanks SwingMan, I'll check it out.

New indicator "smACME Rectangle_v1.0" In the book by Conway and Behle one will find an algorithm for a rectangle breakout trading, as part of their ACME trading system. I made some small adjustments to identify congestion periods and although the solution is not perfect, one can see something ... {image} {image} {file} {file}

Nice many thanks for your work.

This works nicely with the TMA bands as R4ME mentioned (nice to see you back)

Shall experiment and see if I can add a alert.

Thanks for your work Swingman.

{quote} Hi @Swingman -- thank you for this interesting (and different) indicator. I think this one is another "keeper"... I like trading price swings -- 28 pairs on H4 time frame -- and your smACME indicator looks to be a good match for that trading style. Also, since I'm trading 28 pairs on H4 then I only need to get one or two bars right -- i.e. I'm not looking for an extended run or trend. {image} The screen shot above gives you an idea of what I mean. This is a GBPJPY / H4 chart with @mladen's centered TMA as a reference. The smACME indicator...

New version "smMagicGator Signals_v1.3" The only new feature is whether one should draw the alligator lines or not: "Draw_Alligator_Lines = true / false" ----------------------------- Because many people also want to draw the dynamic octaves lines, here the new version "smPriceBoat MiddleHiLo_v2" In the chart are drawn the weekly lines. {image} {file} {file}
Mr. Swingman,
Thanks for this thread and indicator.

Is it possible to use this indicator return a value to be monitored to get the output through iCustom() in MQL4 to use as trade entry in my EA?

iCustom
Calculates the specified custom indicator and returns its value.
double iCustom(
string symbol, // symbol
int timeframe, // timeframe
string name, // path/name of the custom indicator compiled program
... // custom indicator input parameters (if necessary)
int mode, // line index
int shift // shift
);
Dear SM,
I use the PriceBoat in a EA,, just as is.
This works fine.
But now the error
"00:08:01.551 smPriceBoat Signals_v1.0 XRPUSD,Weekly: array out of range in 'smPriceBoat Signals_v1.0.mq4' (516,28)"
occurs. Wich i can't debug.
Wood you consider to give the line parameters?
I don't dare to ask for the source file.
Kindest regards Piet Cornelissen.
And as you mentionned i am to lazy to decompile.

Please explain how you can decompile.
I believed that in the last few releases that was no longer possible, and before that I could do with a program.

Dear Swingman,

I'm using smMagicGator Signals_v1.3. Is this the latest version of smPriceBoat Signals_v1.0? Or It is a different indicator all together?
Hi @pcorneli

- I'm sorry if I don't have time to check the indicator now, maybe later.
One have to try in the area of line 450 whether it helps to reduce "pos":
pos = pos-equals;

- If you also can make the parameters available for @riyas.biz, it would be nice.

- For the trend filter in "MagicGator is used the "Alligator" and in "PriceBoat" two MAs.

Here the source codes only for you and @riyas.biz:

There are loads of decompilers offered on the web. (or decompiling services)
I used to have one but that is gone with an old desktop. And yes i am very Old and Lazy but i still like a bit of programming.
I got so many lessons of that famous site of Steve Hopwood.

Dear Swingman,

Thank you for your response. I'll explore it. You are awesome!
Snel=iMA(Fonds,TF,10,0,MODE_SMA,PRICE_MEDIAN,0);
Snel_1=iMA(Fonds,TF,10,0,MODE_SMA,PRICE_MEDIAN,1);
Snel_2=iMA(Fonds,TF,10,0,MODE_SMA,PRICE_MEDIAN,2);

Trend=iMA(Fonds,TF,110,0,MODE_SMA,PRICE_MEDIAN,0);
Trend_1=iMA(Fonds,TF,110,0,MODE_SMA,PRICE_MEDIAN,1);
Trend_2=iMA(Fonds,TF,110,0,MODE_SMA,PRICE_MEDIAN,2);

It is the least i can do, i hope i got you clear. Snel is Dutch for Fast.

{quote} OK, I could call it that! I was impressed by a video by Landry why should one consider the W1 timeframe in H4 trading: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t344Tau5d5I
this is a very useful video, and the box is a useful tool to trade market structure oh HHs/HLs and LLs/ LHs
Time frame gearing is also well explained
Thanks for posting it

Hello Swingman,

As I mentioned before, I used iCustom(), with your smMagicGator signal v1.3, trying to use @ M1 chart . Sell seems to be good signal, buy signals having spread issue, is it purely broker dependent?

For sure! Broker and time dependent.
I am not a trader, but I suppose that the ATR/Spread ratio should not be higher than 20%.
In dashboards where there are several pairs, I filter out the pairs with a higher percentage. Such a criterion can be to strict for M1.

Good Day Swingman,

I try to depend only on the signals from smMagicGator signal v1.3 but doesn't seem to be the case so I'm thinking of adding 3EMA and check for consensus between signal and EMAs(50,100,150). What do you think? I did not understand the signal filter anyway... Please note that I only want to do automated trading, I can't sit in front of the screen to do a trade. I'm not an experienced trader, only reason because there is a programming language to apply my passion

Hellow Swingman,

The 1M does not give any grip so moving to 5M.
