DislikedI have made the following changes to my version of TSS (I started with version 1.0 few days ago, understood each line; though have problem understanding iMAonArray in OT3MA even after reading metaquotes site).
1. Minimum change in MA to affect the Trend = 1 Point (may increase later).
2. Separated the email and Alarm functions (first when I disabled Alarm, emails did not work).
3. Email signals only after at least one-third of the BarTime is over (for example in 1H chart, it will not email any signal until 20 minutes in to the new bar; I have made it as an external variable and easy to change).
4. Calculate SAR and report that also in the email. The email will also show the time left in the current Bar.
5. Planning to add dual time frame report in email from single Indicator file. Also, planning to write an EA that can display these data on a single chart (without going through different charts at different timeframes; I should be able to see these data for two timeframes independant of the chart timeframe). For me it is easier to write an EA to display calculated data than to make it enter trades and manage them (at least now)!
6. Also, I think it will be better if we allow the price to breakout of the signal bar-range (I am thinking at least by 2 pips?). If we wait for such bar-breakout and SAR confirmation (along with higher time frame signal direction), the chances seem pretty good. (Also, as mentioned earlier, we should avoid trading in narrow range consolidations and wait for breakout).
These are just my thoughts and preferences. So far testing only (not risked actual or demo money!). The point 6 above has a good summary of options I find interesting and useful.

I have been "massaging" the source too. I have included a pram to handle "weak" arrows. I have included "strength" as a param entered as points. If the peak which causes an arrow has slopes shallower than a certain value, in pips, an arrow is not drawn. That way "weak" arrows will not clutter the chart.
You will note by the coding in the source, I am not a programmer, but I try to pretend! lol Feel free to clean up the source and maybe share your efforts with us. That would be super and we would be very thankful. All the best.
