Hey guys is the red green cross repaint ? It's just RSI & MA right ? I thought it shouldn't repaint. But i see a cross disappear when i refresh while the cross candle already closed. Sorry if it was answered before, i just happen to test this indicator in my spare time. In red vertical line, green cross down before i refresh. {image}

{quote} Hi ChazFarote Short answer is YES. you can backtest with TMS TDI green red indicator at #25 Long answer is the indi needs refreshing before performing analysis (At least before trade open, BigE #11). So actually extra caution is needed when FORWARD testing. Additional info: 1. MQL community, one of many threads concerning iCustom() (used in TDI indi #25) giving wrong values in new candle formations https://www.mql5.com/en/forum/223727 2. #122947 Detailed...

{quote} Hi GeraldFX, I have TradingView and MT4 installed on my phone. TradingView is more versatile and can put up custom indicators and set up alerts to trade on the fly. MT4 is my broker, IG, trading platform for trade execution. I also put up the TDI on the chart. ==== First. Inspect the code of TDI green and red line. #25 has the .mt4 and source code can be viewed . {image} The RSI is 13, close. Green line is SMA(2) of the RSI and Red is SMA(7) of it. Note the TDI is calculated from the OHLC of original chart, not the HA candles. ==== Setting...

{quote} Hi Purevenom, TDI green and red lines are moving averages of RSI. The lines are based on candle close so no repaint should happen. Which indicator exactly you are testing? If it is a custom indicator on MT4, it will have the 'refresh' issue as you observed. This applies to all custom indicators on MT4. I have posted previously explaining why this is happening and how BigE avoided this issue as he checked charts once in a while and in between, he 'turned off his computer' (Post #11) For you to avoid this infamous MT4 code logic issue, you...

{quote} Hi Purevenom, This 'refresh' is due to MQL coding logic. The MT4 indicator you using is a custom indicator (use of iCustom(), iRSI(), etc). So all lines will have the same issue. On MT4, you can first use built-in RSI to plot the RSI, then use built-in MA to built the green and red lines of RSI. Trade well.

{quote} @tommydog.... the 'refresh' and re-painting is not a MQL coding logic. The creator of the TDI is Dean Malone and he explained that TDI version 2005 in his trading room forum. It was intended to update the lines ONLY when the candle closed. To help other traders back in 2006, DM created more versions of his TDI. MT4 platform traders have several options with different TDI versions. That version in post#25 used by the OP Big E still works they way he traded back in 2010. They key is to trade Price Action setups and follow his 5-Method basics...

{quote} Hi emmanuel, i don't actually trade the system. I just try to build scalping system using TDI. It doesn't trade at the crossing but i need the cross to confirm something with few other simple price action rules. Rolling on history it seem manageable as long as i aim for few pips only since it's scalping. About to test it live when i realize it prints different when i change the timeframe and back. Since i thought the 3 (rsi-ma-band) not suppose to re-draw after candle close. I just trying to find the answer why it's happen. And i think tommy...

{quote} Hi Purevenom, This question of yours have been asked many times by traders using custom indicators on MT4. You can simply Google to search the numerous sites and posts. if you intend to use a custom indicator for checking a signal, such as a cross. There are 2 main solutions currently. 1 is use the NewCandle bool() to force indicator to calculate values at first tick of new candle, so value of candle[1] would be calculated correctly based on equation baselined at candle[1]. (Root cause of your observation is because the value[1] is wrongly...
