You are correct Williams' Percent Range is a default indicator on the platform. I was just replying to the previous post. The WPR from Metaquotes can be modified and/or placed in the custom indicators folder.

I think using iCustom rather than iWPR is what requires the indicator to be in the custom indicators folder.? I'm not a programmer so I am not sure.

1000000 thank you.
about the WPR.ex4 the problem is solved after I installed the indicator maybe he did use a custom one in his code.

iCustom refers to an indicator of your choosing that does not come w/ MT4.

For a down direction, it would be previous point greater than current point. And for uptrend, it would be previous point less than current point. This should be regardless of whether the 50 line is crossed or not; unless you believe there is no trend till the 50 line is crossed (which may be true with the way some indicators are used) terry

Thanks for this indicator. Been testing on all TF. They all seem to work 5,15 and 30 is just more work. 1H seems best to me not so much work with +-30-70 pips per trade opposed to 15-40 0n lower tf. 4H just to long for my trading style. But seems to work very well on back testing. Will be incorporating with my system tomorrow and report back. Thanks great work

If you watch the crosses of the Red and Blue you can mostly get a nice entry on the 15M TF as well. Watch the blue line if it comes from the bottom going up you can buy when it crosses the red, still exit at 60. When the blue crosses red going down you can sell exit around 20 going up.

I found that Wattah Attar Explosion was always calculating on the M1 timeframe, irregardless of which TF you used for your chart.

I've updated and put back in the first post in this thread.

(MTF=Multiple Time Frame)

Well, I'm part way there. My goal of Trendy was to always have it average among all of it's indicators in all of the timeframes. This version is one more step to it.

When you go to put this version on a chart, you can declare the TimeFrame you want it to be calculating on by putting in that number. In other words, you want to see Trendy show the value for 5 minutes on your 1 hour chart, you put in 5 when you load it onto your chart. It'll give you the 5 minute values for those hour bars.

TimeFrames values can be found at: http://docs.mql4.com/constants/timeframes using the value in the value column.

The name of the MTF trendy version is Trendy_MTF.mq4 found in post #1 of this thread.

Have Fun!

Note: you need the Trendy.mq4 for the MTF version to work.

There are no arrows. It's a line type indicator on the seperate window.

You only need the Trendy_MTF on your chart. It calls the original Trendy. See in post 34. Runway Trade has a picture of his chart w/ Trendy in the bottom window of the pic.

The EA hasn't been posted yet. I'm still working on it.
