Thank you for answering so quickly!
I would them to print the arrows only when the line fully gets out of the bands
Below I attach the full pictures.

Thanks!

One more experiment : half trend that can be applied to price(s) or any other indicator - the possibility for custom indicators that exists for metatrader 5. That possibility (unfortunately) is not possible for metatrader 4 custom indicators.
On the example bellow, on the main chart it is HT applied multiple times of previous instance of itself + to some randomly attached built in indicators.

PS: when yopu apply any indicator to another indicator, metatrader 5 uses only first buffer of the target indicator. Hence, if your indicator is not providing "significant" values in first buffer the results are not going to be what you expect

Multiple times on chart seems make it a new style of "rainbow" display,even some corrections in choppy market situations
i tested it on some subwindow indicator with "previous indicator's data" and it looks reducing some more false signals -

One more experiment
___________________________

Seems that lately there is a hype of indicators with on / off buttons
This one will be one of those too, but :

  1. a lot of versions I have seen with on/off buttons are simply not OK

    1. they are making the indicator slow in runtime
    2. they are making it literally unusable from EAs or via iCustom() calls

      1. some of the version posted on this same forum that I have seen would take hours and hours to complete a simplest test when called via iCustom() even for short testing periods (did not run them to the end because I would need to take a vacation till they end)

    3. they are literally unusable in visual back tests too (for the same speed of execution issue)
    4. some are losing settings when ever you change anything in parameters (not related at all to on / off buttons)
    5. some are using global variables which makes a chance of a complete mess when settings from one reflect other(s) probable

      1. also seems that a lot do not know that global variables are written into files
      2. that introduces delay that can take seconds some time before the changes are "noticed"

So made this version - as an experiment.
So far it avoids all the above (and some issues not mentioned above). I am quite sure that some of the excellent coders on this forum are going to make even better implementations (once when they solve the issues in their existing copy / paste versions) but till then (while we wait that they do so), here is this toy to play with

One more experiment
1. Is it ok?
Attached Image (click to enlarge)
Click to Enlarge Name: screenshot.png Size: 2 KB

2. Is it possible to make button background color stay the same (as in inputs), when button state (on/off) changes? I guess not.

3. Re unique ID: I had a thought, that a set of all indicator inputs could make up indicator's unique ID. Why attach another instance of indicator to a chart with exactly the same inputs? What do you think?

Re unique ID: I had a thought, that a set of all indicator inputs could make up indicator's unique ID. Why attach another instance of indicator to a chart with exactly the same inputs? What do you think?

  1. Yes it is OK - in metatrader 4 it is not possible to have non-repainting two or more colored line displayed without an addition of 2 buffers for each new color

    1. some are using 2 buffers for main line too (like Nikolay Kositsin or fxsniper), but I prefer to use one and then "mask" that main line because that way you can read one single buffer for "basic" values of the indicator
    2. that case you posted is when there is some bars(s) down, 1 bar up and after that again down - if only one buffer for slope down was used, then that 1 bar up would be drawn while the bar is opened, and after that in would not be drawn any more (and that is a classical case of repainting)

  2. it can be done, but since I do not change the text of the button (just the tooltip - when you hover the mouse over the button you can see it) I think it is better to have it as additional information (not just the color change of the button text)
  3. It can be done like that but that way has some week points :

    1. metatrader has a limited length for names of objects (similar as for names displayed for indicators) - that means that you may end up with a string that is clipped from the right - and since that way we do not have a 100% control of what is done, better to avoid that way
    2. using unique ID from parameters is suitable for templates
    3. and you (the user) control the indicator 100% this way (additional parameter does not slow down an indicator in any possible way, and if it adds control, then, in my opinion, control should be added and allowed to the user)
    4. and finally :

      1. objects are identified by its names
      2. changing any parameter would make a risk of an orphaned object

PS: this indicator is one of the few indicators that will not make an orphaned button when you change the ID. I am not talking about versions that are deleting the button (and loosing its state) when any of the parameters are changed. This one keeps the all the states of the button before parameters change and still does not create orphaned buttons

Thanks for detailed answers, food for thought.

2. "it can be done" --- without changing button state back to off?

Unfortunately no.
Without changing the state back to off, metatrader will change the background color

That's what I thought.

I have to ask you another thing, please, if you didn't see it, take a look at this comment: https://www.mql5.com/en/forum/368200
Is it how it's supposed to be, or iT3 function needs some adjustment?

Didn't see it till now.
The volume factor (as it was meant by Tim Tillson) was meant to range in 0+some small value to 1 (since T3 is a sort of an EMA offspring). By inertia, in existing T3 usually it is not limited in inputs, but the volume factor greater than 1 should not be used. In any case, best place to check it would not be in the T3 function (the eternal speed of execution issue since even a single if then else can mean a lot if repeated a lot of times) but in OnInit() function

Got it, and I just noticed, you tried to limit it to no more than 1 in line 181, but for some reason it has no effect. Either that, or I'm missing something.

Added:
1. T3 smoothing,
2. Sorted values,
3. Сandles color modification,

Hi Mladen

I love love love your Haos Indicator, thank you for that great work!
I'm trying to enter "the dips". So when the first wpr average smoothing is different to the second - so that visualy you see the fast movingaverage (red line) as overbought and the slow movingaverage (green) as oversold. To make this process more clear it would be amazing if there would be a notification as soon as the line moves out of the OB/OS Zone. So from thick red/green line to the "normal" thin orange line. Hope this expelanation makes sense. Could I ask you if you have anything like that in your repertoire?

Thank you kindly in advance for your reply and support, it's much much appreciated!!

It looks somewhat similar to mladen's indicator here.
