Sorry I was doing two different IBFX charts. One pic came from my live account and one came from my demo account. I noticed that I switched the colors on the two different accounts. Just get the direction right 1H 4H agree not the colors. I apologize for the confusion. I went back to my live account and changed the colors so they match my rules I posted. I dont think I can change the pictures posted but I can keep future ones consistent. Thanks for informing me.
nanningbob o.k. cool thank you.

I tried several numbers but I couldnt get the 5M MA crosses to match the 1H or 4H. They matched sometimes and other times it didnt. Still when it crosses your 49 you can wait until it crosses back or check 1H 4H charts.
Many traders look at multiple time frames. The question is on what time frame are you trading?

The M1 range is usually less than the H1 range.

The H1 range is usually less than the D1 range.

The D1 range is usually less than the W1 range.

But, of course, you already knew that. The point is if you are trading in M1 then focus on M1 indicators for trading and use the other time frames for bias.

If the pair is UP on D1 and you are trading on H1, then look for long trades on H1. And if the pair is also UP on W1 then you would have to question the reason you are even thinking about shorting.

The experts say price moves in waves so this is a simple way of using that to your advantage without having to spend time labeling and counting waves.

I use a simple candle color indicator that I found on the net that shows the candle color on all of the time frames.

Here's an indicator I use to get a visual on how a pair is doing trendwise.
The pricing is pretty self explanatory.

TF = Timeframe
CC = Candle color (the color of the last candle)
BS = Buy/Sell
STR = Strength (combination CCI, RSI and Stochastic)
TR =Trend

Takes upa little more real estate than i'd like but it has good info.

I've uploaded the source filefor the indicator and also a screen snap.

Great indicator. I used it yesterday for a while. I changed the numbers in it so that they match my system and will try it more today. If it checks out properly I wont have to click back to the 1 H and 4H. I can just check the arrows and trade off of the 5M chart. What I really like is when I first start I can check my currencies quickly to see which ones are going in the same direction on the 1H 4H chart and trade from there. Thanks for the great indicator.

Yesterday was a very slow day. I had 6 trades won 2 lost 4 but three of the losers were trades that didn't go anywhere and I got tired of them so closed them out. I still made a 2 pip profit so I didn't lose money, just time. Hopefully the markets will move more today.

What settings do you use for the "Market price" indicator so it matches your system? I really like to give it a try...

I changed the TR to the 7x7 MA cross and the BS to the 1x5 cross.

The one I posted 1x5 can be changed to your numbers and put on a 1H chart. If you change charts it will change to what ever chart your using unless you specify in the program you want it to work on the 1H info only.

Here is the non repainting of the indicator.
yuhu,


Thanks. I use snake and T3 with the attached mt4 indicators.
They work well together.

Is it possible for you to recode the zigandzag so it does not redraw? (if allowed...got it on the mql4 forum)

Thanks in advance.

Regards

I have been testing different MA crosses with HullMA,JurikMA ,Kalman filter,Low pass filter,AMA,FAMA,TilsonMA,SATL,FATL,WMA,EMA,LWMA etc.. in my opinion the best MA cross is centered moving average(Snake MA) with Tilson MA.Centered moving average(SnakeMA) has cycle estimation value and Tilson moving average is not the fastest moving average but it doesn't overshoot and it is very smooth.I have tried this pair on 1 minute chart it repaints 1 bar in steady market conditions.But when the markets are very volatile during the news the spike pulling the snake moving average very fast and this is causing 2-3 bar repainting.
So any suggestion from coding point of view?
LMAO.......MA crossovers dont work! LOL

What is the green and gold general trend indicator you are using?

Do you mind sharing pls?

Is there an indicator mt4 file for it, it looks very interesting and will make it possible to trade only with the general trend. I use stoch at the moment, but feels it is too volatile when using it with a 15Min and 5Min chart.

Thanks.

İf you use the Slope Direction Line indicator and you will have very similar results with mine.MA's are complete leading indicators.You can detect the current market situation with MA slopes,you can use them as support and resistance(5,10,20,50,100,200 on daily charts), you can set your entry exit places based on crosses or without crosses etc..I hope I have been helpful.
