{quote} what indicator do you have at the bottom?
Hi GoldenCopper.

That indicator is a different version of the Waddah Attar Explosion indicator, from what I can see.

Or it might be the same Waddah Attar as I have offered here in this thread but the colors might have been changed? I am unsure.

But is definitely the Waddah Attar Explosion indicator.

For those who like using the BTBA's higher TF option, I have mentioned this before but it is worth mentioning again.

It is best to have two versions of the indicator on your chart window, with individual settings as follows:

1) Base TF BTBA arrows
- Show Entry Alerts | Show Only Base TF Entry Alerts
- Only Show First Entry Arrow? | No
- Alert 'Gap' away from candle | 0.1

2) Higher TF BTBA arrows
- Show Entry Alerts | Show Only HTF Entry Alerts
- Only Show First Entry Arrow? | Yes
- Alert 'Gap' away from candle | 0.5

This way you get to see the higher TF arrows appear at the start of the signal, but they don't clutter up the screen. Having them set at 0.5 pip distance also means they won't overlap the Base TF arrows.

Keep in mind these pip distance (Gap) settings are meant for XAUUSD. If you are trading standard FX pairs you will notice the arrows are well away from price and you will need to adjust this setting by changing the value, i.e. maybe change 0.1 to 0.05 etc. Experiment a little to see what works best for your preferred pair.

Hello again thread.

Well it is unfortunate but that higher TF version is still not functioning the way it should. Some arrows just aren't appearing at all, even when all conditions are present.

One way around this is to have the Autorefresh indicator running on your chart (see attached). Keep in mind that based on your setting i.e. 30 seconds, your chart will refresh every 30 seconds. If you set it to 300, it will refresh every 5 minutes, and so on. I personally have it set to 30 and it is working well. I am not noticing any lag, so I don't think it is eating up computer resources. Test and see whether it works for you.

One important thing to mention though, is it will affect all indicators running on your chart, and this might NOT be a good thing, so just be aware of this. It really is the only thing I can think of to overcome this problem without going back to the coding team, again. This is not something I have time for any more.

Hopefully this works.

I just discovered a guy on MQL5.com selling my BTBA strategy for USD$199.00, if you can believe it? He has coded an EA for MT5 using some of the same indicators I use in my strategy but also some different ones, and is calling it the 'SMC BTBA EA'. I can't help feeling cheated after all of the work I have put into this strategy, the money I have spent having it professionally coded, and I offer my time and support to the FF community for free, and this idiot takes my strategy and is charging such a huge amount of money for it, passing it off as...
Dear Kirk, I haven't been here for a while because of my busy schedule and the time I spent working with your strategy and passing my prop challenge. I see how much time and energy (and money to code, of course) you've put into this strategy. Of course, you are right, the world is full of stupid and fraudulent people. Of course, I think you can inform MQL5.com about the issue and complain. You have enough evidence to prove your ownership of this strategy. In any case, I thank you again for all your efforts and wish you the best.

{quote} I tested BTBA with halftrend - supertrend - EMA and Ichimoku I realize that . EMA filter is the best (for me currently). Although it is slow, it will filter out more noise orders and reduce the account's DD than other trend indicators. I use EMA 50/100/150/200, when they completely cross each other, I will enter an order. Take a look at picture number 1: I put the X (CS - Currency Strength) filter on the current time frame Picture number 2: I set the CS filter X mark in the M5 time frame You can see that when filtering in frame M5, there...

Nice work, mate.

This is all you need, one trade like this a day, no need to overtrade. Looks like you have your system working well for you, with the Ichimoku as your TP.

I wish you continued profits for the remainder of the week!

Greetings! Is there a version of the Currency Strength Lines XAUUSD.ex4 indicator for MT5?
Hi lipopos.

Sorry but that specific indicator is only available as MT4 to my knowledge. You would be able to have it converted though, the .mq4 file is available in the thread if you wanted to consider this? There are people in this site and other sites which offer this kind of support, (you just have to go looking though).

Hello,

Thank you @kirkleaforex for your work. You are nice.
I tried to create an EA from your indicators but when I launch it I have this error message

2024.05.11 11:53:12.053 2024.05.09 03:05:19 Currency Strength Lines (modded) XAUUSD,M1: initialization failed (1)

Do you know why? This indicator is working outside the backtest.

Thanks for your help (I have BTBA V6.0)

Hi mate.

Sorry I am not familiar with this error message and have no idea why that would happen. As far as I am aware the Currency Strength Lines (modded) indicator should work regardless of whether your Gold is called XAUUSD in your Market Watch or if it is called something different, but perhaps this could be the issue? I just don't know.

Be wary of using the BTBA as an EA though, you should not use it as a 'standalone' indicator. It is best you incorporate something else as part of your strategy to make sure the trade entry signals the EA is using are more reliable. The BTBA is very reliable in certain circumstances but it is not good when markets are flat and consolidating.

Hi hashzar. Have you refreshed your Navigator after copying the files into the Indicators folder? Or did you at least close your MT4 and restart?

Hi tienvip123be.

All of these indicators are being 'referenced' by the main BTBA indicator, but they are not fully integrated as you are suggesting. The BTBA does need the individual indicators to be located in your /Indicators folder, it won't function without them.

Having them fully integrated into the main code would cost me considerably more money and I am not prepared to spend any more than I already have on this.
