i'm assuming that you are talking about the alert indicator mikep whipped up, right?

the dailydirection variable is default value "up".

if the dailydirection on the pair you are trading is down, you have to manually change that variable to "down".

I have tried everything to get Mike P's indicator to load on my chart and it will not show up. I've tried:
Deleting and reloading
Deleting and reloading and compiling
Deleting and downloading IBFX demo and reloading and compiling
Deleting and using already compiled to dump right into experts/indicators file.
.....nothing.

After each of these attempts I have closed and reopened my platform. Any other suggestions.

It shows up on the indicators list but does not show anything on the chart.

when you say it shows up it the "indicator list", do you mean to say that when you right-click on your chart where your candles are and select "indicator list" it is there under the "main chart" heading?

or do you mean to say that it is simply in the Insert/indicators/custom listing?

If it is in the right click list, this may seem like a silly question, but is your chart background the color green per chance? the same color as the up arrows?

or better yet,

just dump this in your expert/indicator folder.

it is the compiled already version.
All i get is long green arrows also it is not present in the MT_Q editor,
could u be kind enough to rectify this anormally, also if possible to have visuals of all 3 indicators on the charts so we can follw the program to perfection (all 3 crosess to enter trade with confidence)
BTW thanks for your selfless efforts

First of all, this indicator was not my creation, I simply corrected a slight error with it. You're only getting long signals because that's all you have it set to look for. The default value for the DailyDirection variable is "up" in the inputs tab. Double-click the "up" and type "down" if the daily direction for that particular pair is down for today.

Second, you can't see it in the editor because it looks like you downloaded the ex4 version. You have to have the mq4 version to edit the code or to compile it. (when you compile the mq4 file it creates an ex4 file for the platform to be able to use it - machine language i think)

Third, mikep's alert indicator is just that, an alert indicator. No moving averages, rsi or stoch displayed. Just arrows, a pop-up window and an email message.

Attached is my template file for the rest of the stuff if you want.

heres the first version of the ea
if you exit a trade while conditions are still met, it will reenter
the ea does work though
to keep the ea from reentering
we need to decide a main indicator
i made available settings for all indicators
you can exit with any indicators

i didnt have the ma's set correct
sorry

you can place the ea on a chart in alert mode only
to see if it follows the strategy correct
it has a comment on the chart telling the day and hourly conditions

i set all day indicators to look 1 bar back
all hour to look at current

the ea is not finished that it can be used for entry and exit
but you can use it for entry
then turn off ea and manage your own exits

finally some nice green pips again.

at the 5 am EST signals, i waited for the prices to retrace to the 5 ema before i entered this time.

I tp'd 45 pips on gbpchf, 15 pips on eurchf and still working on 20 pips for the usdchf. That one's still kinda iffy....

Hey everybody,

I want to thank everyone that has contributed to this thread especially Harold4x. This strategy seems to be working great for everybody. I have a question about the indicator made by Mike. Do we have to make any changes in the input values in the beginhour and endhour based. It I am in est time zone but my broker is 6 hours ahead of my time zone ex. 12:00pm here 6:00 pm there. I was also wondering if the signal is generated because all the criteria such as stoch, rsi and ema have been met. Thank you so very much and God Bless.
Live today as if you will stand before God tomorrow.
