XP Moving Average!

XP Moving Average:

I'm one of Moving Average loyal fans, I like all the types of well known Moving Average:
Simple moving average, Exponential moving average, Smoothed moving average, Linear weighted moving average, Double Exponential Moving Average, Triple Exponential Moving Average and T3 Moving Average.

(Please read the settings page)


I like too see the Moving Average Indicator changes its color according to its direction (like red for up and blue for down).
But where to find such XP Moving Average?? I didn't find it, I created it to enjoy it together!


History (I don't remember the dates and time):

1. Current version is version 4! But the name of the indicator still called xpMA.mq4!
2. Version 1 was repainting the past now it's not!
3. Added: Debug mode option which when you turn it on it will take screen shots of every tick to be proof that the indicator doesn't print the past.
4. Added: Moving Average type 7 JMA.
5. Added: Arrows upon color changes.
6. Added Sound Alert upon color changes.
7. Changed: The method of changing the color upon the direction change.
8. Added: Signal buffer added to make it easy to make an EA based on the xpMA (-1 means sell signal, 1 means buy signal and 0 means nothing).

Note: the T3MA.mq4 and JMA.mq4 (included) are required files for the Moving Average type 6 and 7.

There are only 3 rules on this forum and you blew 2 of them. I would clean up this post real fast or you won't be with us much longer.

This is the guy who wrote the MQL4 Tutorials found in the Metatrader Forum. I don't think he intended to spam the forum as his post seemed helpfull (but for the links).

Oh, I see. I will take care of it... thanks

Edit: Note, I moved this thread to classified, not realizing that it was from the very person who wrote the tutorials for Metatrader, So I have moved it back to the Metatrader froum , and apologize for the inconvenience.

To error is human...

Thanks again!

It was completly my fault, not yours.. please be welcome here..

Thanks scott

What's this xpma about anyway ?

Hi Everybody!

I thought I will let it be as it was when I read post No.2 in this thread yesterday, but I guess I take my chances and risk getting banned from my favourite forum on the web, but I feel obliged to defend CodersGuru. For those of you, who dont know who he is, I will explain. There are many programming gurus out there, I personally can program a few things, but there are only a few of those, who are GURUS in MQ4 and who have put tremendous effort in educating community of traders like CodersGuru did. He is well respected person at Forex-tsd forum and Im member of both (hopefully it is not forbidden). CodersGuru is one great guy and therefore I think, he deserves his place in here. I know it was only a mistake, but from my point of view he didnt break any rules.
Just to see both sides of the coin. Last week on Forex-tsd someone wrote James16 is scammer. Well...I felt the same way I felt yesterday and I wrote that guy my opinion about him saying so. I did what I felt was right. The thread got deleted as it was of no use, so you wont find any evidence of what Im saying, but I know what I did and I know WHY I DID IT. Because James16 and his thoughts, that he publicly shared with this community are just superb!!!
So..please, be patient. We all make a mistake from time to time, as it was already stated here - "Error is human". Im sure that it wasnt intention to break some rules, CodersGuru wanted to help us. His work and clean code can help you a lot.

Therefore, after the dust of battle has settled, I welcome you here CodersGuru. This is one of the best forums on the web about trading you can find.

Happy Trading,

Bluefish

What's an xpMA, and what is it for?

I won't be able to sleep until I know!

Hi Coder Guru,

I have been following the development of this indicator from the start and am using your latest version on 4hr charts with settings of 34, 1, 0, 0.8. Recently, signals were indicated on GBP/USD and USD/JPY - both of which I traded live. The signals both provided profit of around 30 pips each when I manually closed each trade, so testing is looking promising. Thanks for a neat little indicator.

I am not a coder, but I can try to explain what this indicator does. It has been in development for a few days only, but seems to have potential. The current version is V4. Basically, the indicator is a "one stop shop" MA, whereby the trader can set the indicator to the style of their choice such as simple, exponential, weighted etc. It also comes with a JMA which could be handy. In addition, periods can be changed and other adjustments can be made to accommodate the indicator into an existing system if you wish. The Indicator (MA) changes colour when its direction changes and is supplemented by arrows together with audible alerts all of which are linked to directional change. I have been a member of this forum for a couple of months but as you can see, I don't post much. However, when I saw this indicator I did a bit of back testing and like the results. Thus far, I have only traded on 4hr charts and am not using any other system, preferring to jig a system around this indicator only. I have included an Entrex 1hr on the 4hr chart for range and thats it. My trading style is position based and thus far the indicator fits well with that, buts its early days. I will continue to post my results here if members wish, I am trying to take all signals on the 4 majors only, 3 mini's per trade.

Yahooo! Welcome to the factory CodersGuru! I follow all your posts and doodles over at the "other" place ; ) Great work on the tutorials. Hope you are welcomed here and enjoy your visits!!

The xpMA is not more than All In One Moving Average which is like the normal MA plus:

1- It has the normal moving average types plus 4 of the most used moving average types added!
2- It colors itself when the direction changes!

The Last version is attached in the first post but you can monitor the update at:

Hi, nice to see you here, CodersGuru.

I admire your dedication helping less experienced members of Metatraders's community. Thank you for all this.



Now, the new perfect MA! That's exactly what I was looking for but unable to do it myself.

Thank you, again.

Please update you version of xpMA (v6)

Hi guys, nice to all members.
Thanks to CodersGuru cause of sharing the EA.
I'm still newbie in this forum, so please help me. The xpMA already download and placed at the expert in MT4, but there's nothing happen. what should I do?

open that file in mql editor, compile and it should appear on the list.

Hi, Coders Guru!

Please, correct me if I am wrong, because I had no time yet to test all the options, but I begin to see that you are creating a system here. First of all you did EMA cross with reversed values, which I think is the simpliest and elegant solution to the ranging markets. (If one wants use it for trending markets, just reverse longMa, shortMa values - isn't that something!!). Then you have XpMA, which is good for long trending markets with whatever kind of MA one wants to follow them. And I saw in forextsd a simple channel breakout, that is useful to know when the ranging market is over... these three are all that one might need if one uses any Moving Average crosses in their strategy.
Is that right, Coders Guru?
On a coming weekend I will try all of them to see how a do they fit my theory... until then, thank you again for all the work you do with such elegance and simplicity!

Hi mie,

1- xpMA is an indicator now an expert advisors! So, you have to install it in indicators directory nor expert advisors directory!

2- If you want to download the expert advisor based on xpMA you can find it here:
