No my friend. I can see that you do not understand. You have placed my robot in the indicator folder. That is wrong. A robot must always be in the expert folder.

Step number 2 is to secure that the indicator #DTosc is in the indicator folder.

It will work - I am sure.

aaaa - maybe you don't have the indicator #DTosc?? Then you of cause cannot understand what I am saying. Get that indicator in post#1.

Hello Birdland,
If i may chime in ..
As you can see you have a gray 'wheel' on your indi-label, this implies that it requires compilation.
This only happens explicitly or when you open up MT4 and it starts looking for uncompiled files.
May i suggest closing and re-opening MT4?
I had exactly the same issue you did ;-)
Cheers

thank you forex-nl, but my problem is now solved;-)

the problem was that i used an older version of DTosc and not the version of island from page#1.

so the expert was not correctly linked with the indicator.

after that i restarted Mt4 and everything is fine running.

Exactly. And to all other viewers. It must be the correct indicator.

This is the code line from the robot: DToscRed = iCustom(NULL, TF2, "#DTosc",13,8,5,3,0,0,1);

The name is in the line and hence it is ONLY that indicator that works.

Thanks for the pioner work Birdland.

At this point there has been 48 downloads of my indicator. It would be helpful if we get some comments during the next days if it helps anybody - or we should just forget it.

I got it working now as well. I have opened a few different pairs and are letting it run on the M15 for those pairs with the MTF on, so I will report back to share my results.

One thing i did notice, i'm also running the indicator in tradingview (the script that was shared), i got a few signals there which i did not get on MT4. Will continue to monitor that.

Hi RiskF,
I'll do a 2nd chime today, though i'm currently pulling it through the tester ;-)
For the comment section i would skip all decimals but 1 (makes it a bit messy with 10 decimals on)
The two HTF bias TFs are great but may i suggest to make them variable. That way people can use their own HTF bias TFs instead of the two preceding the current TF.
What if someone want an entry on M5 but base in on H1 and D1?
I'll come back later after i have finished my tester adventure.
Again, great effort.
Cheer

everything is working now, thank you!

what strikes me immediately, could you place the arrows further away from the chart? it's harder to see the chart. they could also be smaller.

and I will watch it more time to perhaps contribute some new input.

I don't know what I am doing but keep to levels on 15 minute chart and 5 minute execution. Seems to work so far but another 98 charts should give me some idea

Fear not intrepid traders, I will not post everyone. Especially now that I feel many posts have moved on from original OP's simpler posts. But I am not the sharpest chisel in the tool box though.

Keep it simple, like Island.
People got taught as a child that you have to work hard to earn good money. Its not wrong, but you cant take that thinking into trading. At meast not into all apsects of trading.

this System is super simple... so Traders subconsciously add noise to it... so its complicated and... rewarding. Now when they win a trade, its "earned". It feels a lot better now for their subconsciousness. 99% of times though this overcomplicating, makes the system less profitable and more confusing... even for the one that made it more complicated to begin with. So they move on and the cycle repeats.

Also... analyzing the chart and writing several pages of explanation feels a lot cooler and more "professional".
I call it the Traders masturbation.

Your charts add more value to this thread, than most other posts. Less masturbation.

I use Dynamic Trader software, (DT oscillator).
I took that trade on M5 this morning and got stopped out at BE.
On Dt you can have several Settings, and the red or green bars, indicate, that the higher setting is OB/OS.
Anyway, I use the software since decades, but this approach is very interesting.
THANKS.
Sorry for overcomplicating.

I noticed something else: when I switch from TF m15 to m5 or m1 and then i go back to m15, the arrows on m15 do not disappear from the lower TFs.
