Very entertaining topic fractals repaint or not. I am enjoying all the jocks.

{quote} Hasib. You remember this Post 110,678 : Tien pips is good for me, more is always better. If it happens good, if not, try tomorrow again. That 10 pips is a two edge sword. When account grows and lot size is compound (in my case) from 0.10 to 0.20 to 0.30.......... the pips still stay at 10 pips. The profit for each pip increase according to lot size. lot size 0.10 = 1 pip = 0.10 /// lot size 0.20 = 1 pip = 0.20 //// lot size 0.30 = 1 pip = 0.30 That "more is always...
{quote} You people are so frickin helpless -- you've been trading for how many years and still require someone to hold your hand to figure out if an indicator repaints? I've attached the simplest implementation using MT4's built-in iFractal() API -- including the source code. Fractal markings are painted (not REpainted) 2 bars late -- because they require 3 bars to form a pattern. Go for it -- use Strategy Tester and convince yourself one way or another. No doubt you won't because it is so much more convenient to believe what you read on the Internet....
{quote} Two cents The difference is in a few lines of MQL4 programing TDI Red Green.mq4 (non repainting) for (i=limit-1;i>=0;i--) The -1 sets the counter to bar 1. Bar 1 is closed and red /green will not change TDI RealTime.mq4 (repainting) for(int i=limit; i>=0; i--) The -1 removed sets counter to bar 0. Bar O is open and is rising and falling with price action there for red /green will move up and down Both above mentioned indicators use the same iRSI and iMAOnArray values iRSI(NULL,0,RSI_Period,RSI_Price,i);...
{quote} @Tekkies -- I would never stick my finger in an electrical socket. I learned a long time ago to use my tongue instead -- the moisture is a much better conductor... DISCLAIMER: For those who believe everything they read on the Internet -- I was joking. Seriously -- do not use your finger or your tongue to check an electrical socket. Personally, whenever I need to change a light bulb I just call an electrician.

Quite a few years ago, i was asked to check the ideas explained in the Brian Millard's "Channels & Cycles: A Tribute to J. M. Hurst" book about, what turned out to be, a centered Triangular Moving Average (Centered TMA), and when I did so and wrote the Centered TMA, as if the whole hell broke through and ever since I am forced to tell that I have regretted that I have ever made that indicator

About "centering" as defined by Brian Millard and J.M.Hurst :

About some versions floating around :

PS: not posting the source code. I am not going to fall into the same trap when they are using the code of this indicator to sell yet another "wonder" indicator by simply using the free code and changing a few simple things in it. It is fully operational, multi time frame version with only one "issue" : it will always display that text in the upper left corner - like the example
{quote} No matter how many opinions from experts in the field that you present, your facts are just part of the age old tale of Copernican theory versus religious dogma. It matters not what the facts are or how convincingly they are presented, religious dogma REQUIRES and DEMANDS that you are labeled HERETIC, just as Galileo was condemned as a suspected heretic at the Inquisition trial. Did the label HERETIC change the facts? Of course not. But it helped in smoothing over the cracks in dogma that were allowing the light of facts to uncover the fallacies...
That post is from 2016, due to changde market condition and new MT4 coding structure, irrelevant and obsolete.
