CG, you are the number one MQ4 coder i follow, your ideas are fresh and valuable and i like'm! I use MAs as channels at times and i took the liberty of adding some simple code that i got from a friend of mine here at FF who also has some great ideas. Anyway, the code is simple enough to just paste here with some explanaitions.

To get a verticle offset of the MA you add the following code that is in bold:

extern int Step_Period = 4;
extern int verticalShift =0;
extern bool DebugMode = false;

case 4:
{
for(i=0; i<limit; i++)
{
tempbuffer[i] = iMA(NULL,0,MA_Period,0,MODE_EMA,MA_Applied,i)+verticalShift*Point;
}
for(i=0; i<limit; i++)
{

now to the end of every one of the "case" versions after the ")" and before the ";" add:

+verticalShift*Point

Then save as XpMA-mod and compile just in case something goes ary you will have the original code.

Now you can have a channel with say +10/-10 XpMAs and design a simple breakout system around the channel breakout.

Have fun doodling, and thank you again CG for your creative ideas.

Hi, Thom, CodersGuru,
I did it, just as instructed, and nothing happened. All the signs are the same, I tried to change shift size then, but, again, nothing....
btw, the case 4 and 5 have tempbuffers, so in a case 4 and 5 I added +vertical shift... to them, but the rest of the cases do not have temp buffers, though as you said to add vertical shift to an end of everyone buffer of the rest of the cases, I added the verticalshift to the buffers[i] - which might be the problem. I don't know that much about MQL to understand what is what in this here. So in case if you did it and it works, let me know exactly what you did.
Thanks,
btw, I love xpMA!

Hi there, sorry you had some dificulties w/the vertical shift mod. I have uploaded the mod and called it ATM_XpMA.mq4 just so if found out there people will know the original is the XpMA but it is not the original. I kept all original copyright info and only added a note that accrete added the vertical shift mod.

Enjoy,
Thom

Thanks, accrete,

I looked at the code, it were to be added to every single case and every single buffer. I am not excited about the "effect" this new addition creates, but, anyway", thanks, for letting everybody know about "improvements".

Greetings!

I don't look at the addition of the vertical shift as an "improvement", but rather it gives the trader one more tool in his chest. As you may know there are some professional traders that use vertical shift up/down to create channels about a central moving average as part of their trading model.

Cheers,
Thom

Dera CG,

Could you add email alert as well ? I checked the code and it's method of filtering out extra alerts is too sophisticated for me to add a simple email alert on colour change.!

Hi CodeGuru,

First of all, thanks a million for your thoughts and work with xPMA. Iam a newbie here got a question regading this indicator.

This indicator comes with other 5 different indicator in the zip file. I attached the xPMA to 1 hour chart. Do i need to attach all the other indicator to the chart......

Sorry for asking this basic questions......

Hi Syed,

First, You're welcome!

The 5 indicators in the zip file are the indicators used in the xpMA for extra types of Moving Average. You don't need and must not attach them to the chart. Just copy them to the Indicators folder and compile them!

Thanks,
There are some traders that will take a given moving average, duplicate it above and below the center MA a given number of pips to create a channel that is a filter of sorts.

----------CodersGuru:

Is there a way you could incorporate an additional alert that would trigger when price touched the moving average? I see the other alerts upon trend change, but a price at MA alert could be useful also. I tried to code it, and didn't get any errors...but also didn't get any alerts! , (

Thanks in advance if it is possible!

Hi Thom,

What's the kind of touch? I mean Cross or only Equal to Moving Average?
