Finally I got it!

It took me some hours but here is the COG indicator I promised.
It has no repainting and it is not limited in bars.
I have uploaded source and the compiled one.

Please try and report errors to me (pm please!)

I'm going to update this thread with some valid signals and the results in future. I hope that's ok for you endroute?

So, lets try to make some

PS: COG NR is useless now ...

What do you mean?? Maybe endroute can tell us.
Do the candle have to close below the green line right on the ema cross?

For this chart its easy to say because we can already see the future ... but in real trading ... would you take this one??

For me it's a valid signal.
The candle that closed below the green line was the long red one, on june 25 at 16:00. So it is not "right on the ema cross" but previous to the cross that occurs two candles later. Thus the signal (the cross) comes after the close below and validates.

Strictly speaking it is a valid trade as there was a previous close beneath the green line.

Hello All,

I became not patient & enter trade short, even though candle not closed yet.... But the candle looked like it's going to close above the gold line... And the stoch seems already overbought....

Hope my trade will be great....

Hey Atuque

The EMA's haven't crossed yet... AS far as I understand this isn't a valid trade yet for Enroutes system?

Also EUR/USD seems to produce a valid signal in a few minutes, just wait for the ema cross!

Interesting on that one the EMA's are already signaling short! I wonder how Enroute would play that ?

Ahhh, stupid, I just watched the cross not the signal ... yes you are right cindy ... I think the signal is only valid if ema crosses twice ... that means it must signal buy (sure you don't buy because cog says no) then it must signal sell and the last bar must close above the green line ... then it should be valid ... this is the rule!

Remember that endroute advised to close positions if ema changed signal, so you would close and reopen later ... I like this because you can secure some pips and did not run in danger that a good trade turns against you.

Yup, it's not a valid signal yet... Only that I saw that the price consolidated above the green line, & the stoch showed overbought....

Don't follow my way.... I think I am so impatient...

Scratch!
What is for an indicator below the chart?

Can you build a dashboard indicator like this one for the MA?
This indicator would show the position of the course in relation to the green line for each currency pair and each timeframe.
A green arrow would indicate that the price is below the green line.
A red arrow would indicate that the price is over the green line.

My message is the same for 4X Weezal, Waltini, Endfront, theherryfarm, endroute and anyone who has knowledge in programming.

Thank for your help! I don't know the programming language.

Hello All,

After closed my trade yesterday at break-even on EJ, seems that I missed the change to gain from yesterday's trade (should gain +14pips if I still stayed).

Anyway, just now saw the sell signal on EJ.... I go Short...

Trade At Your Own Risk....
