{quote} The buffer numbering starts with 0, try 0 and 4. Post again if you have any comments. There are always problems with repainting, but you should document them if you notice them. The indicator was programmed as a continuation of an older idea, was not intended for publication, so I have to develop it further.

{quote} Please take a look a this post https://www.forexfactory.com/thread/...9#post14975119 look at the repainting with the settings 2 and 3 for moving averages, the default setting does not repaint, I am trying to trade with it from buy to sell and viceversa so having a tighter moving average setting is more adequate, however, it keeps on repainting and signals overlap.

{quote} Is OK. Before you have programmed something, there is little point in describing everything here. An example is the ATR, which is used by everyone. I found an alternative by chance and posted the indicator here. https://www.forexfactory.com/thread/...2#post14340482 It has been downloaded over 600 times and nobody uses it... The blue line is the ATR, and you can see that in many zones there are larger values and that is disadvantagiously for trading.

{image} {image} My settings for the moving averages are 2 and 3, the idea is to make the signals close so that one can trade from buy to sell and visceversa, if this can be done this indicator would be no that far from a holy grail, just check the signals even when they repaint they are not too bad

{quote} You can't get any explanations from me. --I can't see the charts with dark bars on a black background. - There are too many bars to see where the problem is. - The M1 timeframe seems to be too small. You should learn to trade such scalping systems on H4 or H1 before M1. Have you done that? - What indicator is it? - For which MAs are you changing the period? - Why do you want to switch from long to short trading? Perhaps the indicator has a specific algorithm that you don't know. Before making such suggestions, you should test them first...

{quote} The function for the BarRange that I generally use is this. For an EA you have to adapt it.

Hi Swingman, I have no time today for playing with the small wicks theory. But since you have seen so much - I am hunting the algoritm behind the Mika Breakout Indicator. I think this is the best indicator I have. But I cannot find anything about it anywhere. I have it from this thread: Mika's Breakout strategy | Forex Factory. Using a few supporting indicators and trading only with the trend, this is very good. However it is a very old indicator and that is why it does...
