Hello, First of all, I want to express my gratitude for all that you do. I have used the latest version of the BTBA indicator V2.0 from Post #138, but unfortunately, the arrows are not appearing as expected. Could you please provide insight into the possible cause of this issue? {image} {image} {image}
Hello Adashi, thanks for being here.

I have the same issue from time to time but i find changing timeframes and then changing back to M1 fixes this. Don't know what else to suggest, sorry.

Is there also a template here where all indicators are included?
Hi ing3344.

I am not providing template files until i can sort out the issues some people are having with the suffix. As soon as i can offer a clean, bug-free indicator version that works for all pairs, regardless of the suffix, I will be able to assist with .tpl files etc. Until then people will need to create their own.

Gold short. Still can't get rid of the blue and red arrows. I've tried turning them off and changing their colour to none but they keep coming back. {image}
Hi mUrfo, you will need to open the Currency Strength indicator you are using in MetaEditor and change the following line as follows (should be line 74):

input bool ShowSignals = true; // Show Arrow Signals

CHANGE TO...

input bool ShowSignals = false; // Show Arrow Signals

Then press Compile above. Let me know if this works.

{quote} Hi, Kirkle, maybe this solution might work. At first, I am unable to use it due to my market watch symbol name is "XAUUSD.m". However, I managed to fix it by going into "Currency Strength Lines XAUUSD.mq4" and make the following changes (AllPairs[] = {"XAUUSD"} -> AllPairs[] = {"XAUUSD.m"}) :{image} Then, the error that says "XAUUSD" not found is solved. You should change the name based on what your symbol name is, ie. "XAUUSD.lt". I assume it should work the same.
Thanks fries7 for this suggestion.

I guess if people are willing to take this step it is an interim workaround. Thanks a lot.

If anyone reading this is having this issue and they need it fixed, send me your suffix exactly as it appears in Market Watch and i will code up a version specifically for that. Just as an interim measure though...i am still needing to find a global solution that will work for all.

No trading for me again last night, I was way too tired after a long day of travel. I can't trade if my mind is not focussed, and when I am this tired there is just no point.

Which brings me to the next point.

For now I am happy to keep assisting people with questions etc, but I need to abandon the trading for the moment. Sorry to disappoint, but i have too much going on, and trading my strategy has become unsustainable when you consider my trading day starts at midnight.

Between other work projects, family obligations and so forth I feel my time and attention is being pulled in too many different directions, and some very important areas of my life are suffering as a result. So it is time for me to put down the trading and take a rest from it, just for a few weeks until the new year.

In the meantime I will be employing the expert people at mt4programming.com to assist me with making this indicator the best it can be, so when January rolls around and markets return to normal we can really get moving again.

In the updated version the issue with suffixes will be solved, so the indicator will work regardless of which broker you are using and how individual pairs are shown in the Market Watch. There will also be added input fields where users can select to have certain features on or off, i.e. arrow alerts etc, and I will add an option to only show the first arrow when there is a change in direction, rather than having all arrows displayed.

It is my commitment to the members of this thread to provide a seamless, bug-free indicator you can rely on. I am excited to be working on this in the background and releasing it here asap (ETA early January).

While all this is happening I encourage people to keep testing if they want, but as always, test on DEMO only, especially right now when market volume is thin.

I am never far away, so keep posting and asking questions and I will be happy to answer.

IMPORTANT - FOR EVERYONE TRYING TO USE THIS INDICATOR FOR MARKET WATCH PAIRS WITH ALTERNATE SUFFIXES The BTBA indicator is currently hard-coded for use with either XAUUSD as the instrument name, or the ALLPAIRS indicator version is hard-coded to work with standard Market Watch pair names WITHOUT SUFFIXES. For this reason, if you check your Market Watch and notice that your pairs have a suffix such as XAUUSD.a, EURUSD.c etc, or if your XAUUSD pair is shown as GOLD, or anything that is non-standard, the indicator will throw up an error message and...

set "weightOnlySymbolOnChart" to true and it will use current chart symbol - if "false" it will use your default from the code

Hello Kirk,
have a nice time at the turn of the year so that we can get back to work on new goals in 2024.
Good things take time. We can take the time off. That's what I decided for myself today too.

Greetings to everyone with best wishes for peace, health and good ideas in the new year.

Nice. I've always liked multiple TF analysis. In a previous version of the BTBA (before this thread) I was filtering signals based on what was happening on each of the higher timeframes. I might still incorporate that option in a future update, it can produce very interesting results.

Sorry everyone...nothing I can do about this issue until I have this coded professionally by early January.

Can everyone please read the recent thread posts and try the options that are being presented by Mucky. That is the only possible workaround available right now.

Thanks to Mucky for your valuable contributions here.

Hi mate, check Post #276 above by Mucky.

In your indicator settings you will see the two fields (see Mucky screenshot above) where you can enter your pair exactly as it appears in your Market Watch, i.e. for the XAUUSD pair, try entering XAUUSD as the Prefix and m as the Suffix, for example...or for EURUSD try entering EURUSD as the Prefix and m as the Suffix.

(Please advise if this is incorrect Mucky?)
