{quote} Wrong, only two lines. {image} Wrong again. I don't refresh M15 TDI. Post 109,778: Dave, I don't refresh M15 to update TDI. Post 102,194: - Do not refresh chart. Can post more > do not refresh M15 < is used. Do not try to walk on water Steve, you will sink.
@Tekkies -- there are 3 lines -- you've simply hidden the yellow one. You can check the source code:
MaBuf[] is green, MbBuf[] is read and MdZone[] is yellow.

@Tekkies -- you've been using that indicator for over 5 years, it has provided you "financial freedom", it is your "holy grail". Yet you don't understand the most basic properties of that indicator. And still you complain about it being a repainter and requiring frequent refreshing? What an ingrate.

Since there are non-repainting versions of TDI, then why do you keep encouraging readers to use the old, repainting one that you use? Why would you intentionally mislead traders? It wouldn't be that you are in so deep and it would be too embarrassing at this point to acknowledge your error, would it?

Anyways -- now with BBMACD (2,13,7) we have a solution at hand. We can substitute it for TDI and still follow BigE's rules -- yet, not be plagued by the repainting and refreshing problems you complain about.

{quote} @DrDave -- right on cue. You and @Tekkies with your Nazism. @DrDave -- you and @Tekkies make quite a couple. Her being an idiot and you being a conflicted schizophrenic with an axe to grind. And now that you both have adopted a Nazi theme that you can share together, you two have become the perfect match. What's next on the agenda? Where do we go from here? Now that I'm a Nazi what's the next accusation that's worse? I can think of some -- but then I would be spoiling your fun.

{quote} R4M-BBMACD-v1.00 Indictor (continued) I'm sharing an updated version of my modified version of the BBMACD indicator. I've added arrows to show the transitions from bullish-to-bearish and bearish-to-bullish trends. The arrow markings, along with the blue and purple dots, provide directional clues -- similar to Stochastics. By combining red-green crossings plus directionality in the same indicator then it becomes easier to identify where the algorithms align and to make your discretionary decsion whether to open a BUY or SELL position.

R4M-BBMACD-v1.00 Indictor (continued)

The screenshot below shows another comparison of BBMACD versus TDI. In the middle chart I've overlayed Stochastics (8,3,3) on top of R4M-BBMACD. You can see that the blue and purple dots correspond with the slope of the Stochastics indicator and signify direction. By combining these indicators in a single chart it becomes much easier to spot when they align.

The red vertical lines that I've manually marked show significant red-green crossings. You can see they are consistent with the transition arrows and may provide sufficient confirmation to enter a bar or two earlier than you would using just TDI -- though that is for your discretion to decide.

And for comparision purposes I've included the TDI indicator in the bottom chart.

Post 25 > TDI Red Green.mq4
There are six lines: black, red, green, yellow, two blue lines.

#property indicator_color2 0XFFFFFFFF // MediumBlue

Can understand now why you can not come to grip with the fact that TDI repaint on chart refresh.

Please show readers how you going to:

Post 647 How does the momentum look right now (12-2, 4-6)
#6
Entries and exits...
We Enter a trade when green crosses red on the TDI at the beginning of that candle...
If it's candle 3 or more don't enter... find another trade set up. The only exception is if green bounces off red and continues... it's ok to re-enter on the bounce...
Exit your trade when the green TDI line goes flat, starts to hook over or makes a check mark reversal.
If you add other things it will influence your decisions... usually to your detriment. Don't try to complicate it thinking it can't be this easy.
Important to study TDI entries on old charts, any time frame... Give yourself a chance and trade it like it's laid out...

Well -- @Tekkies -- originally you claimed the problem with BBMACD was it used 2 MAs. I was giving you the benefit of the doubt when I pointed out that TDI used 3 -- since yellow is often displayed. Now you claim there are 6?

So -- let's see, now. BBMACD uses 2. TDI uses 6. Are you still claiming that BBMACD uses more MAs than TDI? I am so confused...

Okay, okay -- I think I'm starting to get it. The light bulb is coming on. You use obfuscation to confuse readers in order to hide your illogical and idiotic thinking. Good strategy -- it was working. But I'm on to you now...

You've already accused me of that. You subsequently accused me of being a Nazi. I was wondering what comes after Nazi. Are you saying that we'll be returning to "disrespecting the OP"? Or alternating between the two?

I now understand this is all part of your obfuscation strategy -- where you say one stupid thing after another to confuse the reader and to hide the illogical and idiotic thinking behind your posts. See @Tekkies -- I'm finally on to you...

@Tekkies -- I admit you had me fooled. It's not that I haven't encountered idiots before -- I have. It's just that I've never before encountered one that was so persistent in publicly exposing their illogical thinking -- as if the more frequently they said something stupid it would somehow hide their incompetence. I'm not suggesting there is anything wrong with being an idiot -- there isn't -- we are surrounded by them. But an idiot who directs readers on how to trade? Well -- now, that's a different story. @Tekkies -- you definitely should not be the one telling people how to trade.

{quote} @T4Trade -- in a subsequent update I will expose some input settings -- for now the recommended settings for BBMACD are (2,13,7). If you want to experiment with other settings then you can do that with the original version that was posted. I'm not into re-inventing the wheel -- others have already done the work and concluded that (2,13,7) most closely matches with TDI, so that is good enough for me. As for other modifications -- I'd only consider them if (a) they also suited my purpose, or (b) there was evidence or proof they provide a benefit....
Great ,thanks its good to know that the setting is 2,13,7,that exactly what we needed.when i m changing the line size or color,it comes back to default,plz would u atleast make that possibility if we want to accustom it to our color and arrow size? thanks,im grateful that you did this work,its awesome,keep the good work going my friend.

R4M-BBMACD Indicator: Since @Tekkies has been complaining about how unreliable her TDI indicator is and that it repaints, then the door has been opened for consideration of alternative indicators that provide similar visual markings, yet are known not to repaint. MACD and BBMACD have been around for awhile and it has been proposed that BBMACD (2,13,7) could be a nice substitute. So, in the spirit of keeping this thread alive and vibrant I'm sharing a modified version of BBMACD that some may find easier to use and more reliable. {image} The screen...
R4M-BBMACD-OnChart Indicator

This is a new indicator -- a variation of R4M-BBMACD. The R4M-BBMACD-OnChart indicator uses the same code but displays its markings on the main price chart. Depending on how you like to organize your charts and indicators, this may offer some advantages. Whereas the R4M-BBMACD indicator uses blue and purple dots to denote direction, the R4M-BBMACD-OnChart indicator uses blue and purple lines. The blue and purple arrows denote transitions between trends.

The screen shots below show @Tekkies recent trade that she posted. The screen shots below compare BBMACD versus TDI. You can decide which provides visual markings that are easier to read. In addition, since @Tekkies uses a version of TDI that repaints and which requires refreshing at each bar then she can never be sure whether her charts are displaying the most accurate real-time information. And she knows this -- yet she continues to promote her version, at the same time complaining about its limitations.
