Then again it might not be, I can't make it work however.

Would anyone know how to code a stochastic custom indicator to give a signal only when it is passing through 0 or cross above/below a certain value? (i.e. 80/20)

The above/below isn't too difficult I know but apparently I can't get it right.

The passing through 0 though (i.e. if it is above 0 and passing through) may require a bit more thought though.

Inserted Code
  sm1=iStochastic(NULL,0,StochK,StochD,StochSlowing,StochMethod,StochPrice,MODE_MAIN,i);
  sm2=iStochastic(NULL,0,StochK,StochD,StochSlowing,StochMethod,StochPrice,MODE_MAIN,i+1);  
  ss1=iStochastic(NULL,0,StochK,StochD,StochSlowing,StochMethod,StochPrice,MODE_SIGNAL,i);
  ss2=iStochastic(NULL,0,StochK,StochD,StochSlowing,StochMethod,StochPrice,MODE_SIGNAL,i+1);  
  
if((sm1>ss1&&sm2<ss2)<20)

I'd think that would work but it ignores the <20 and paints random marks on my chart. Ignores crosses too

Fairly sure with the passing through 0 though it would require referring to a previous bar but does one assign a range or static value? I'd have to tweak it of course but if anyone could quickly show me i'd appreciate it
I've never done this, but couldn't you do something like:

extern int alertnum //number you want to be alert at the cross

int stochtotal = sm1 + sm2 + ss1 +ss2
if (stochtotal = 0 | alertnum)
{
.....

again, this might only work inside my head, but it seems like if you have nothing else, it's easy enough to try.

Best of luck. Hopefully someone with more knowledge than I can give you a definite answer.
Found a previous thread requesting pretty much the exact same thing

http://www.forexfactory.com/showthre...ght=stochastic

nothing in it usable though

It is codable though, which is the more important part
Thanks for the suggestion howdytest but if it that code actually works I can't get it to
Thought it would help if I posted the indicator that required editing

Try this ...

Inserted Code
  
sm1=iStochastic(NULL,0,StochK,StochD,StochSlowing,StochMethod,StochPrice,MODE_MAIN,i);
sm2=iStochastic(NULL,0,StochK,StochD,StochSlowing,StochMethod,StochPrice,MODE_MAIN,i+1);  
ss1=iStochastic(NULL,0,StochK,StochD,StochSlowing,StochMethod,StochPrice,MODE_SIGNAL,i);
ss2=iStochastic(NULL,0,StochK,StochD,StochSlowing,StochMethod,StochPrice,MODE_SIGNAL,i+1); 
 
double limit=20;  // your crossing point value (0, 20, or 80, etc) 
 
if(sm2<limit && sm1>limit) .... // main line crossed above the limit 
if(sm2>limit && sm1<limit) .... // main line crossed below the limit 
 
if(ss2<limit && ss1>limit) .... // signal line crossed above the limit 
if(ss2>limit && ss1<limit) .... // signal line crossed below the limit

Tsk, dammit DaveL always comes to my rescue.

Thanks again DaveL, it solves the 'passing' value of 0 quite happily but i'm not sure how I would incorporate this into a stoch cross above/below a certain value.

The passing through 0 value is my attempt at adding to more signals to buy/sell, that's all. I'm merely trying to filter so the indicator only gives signals when a cross happens above a certain value.
Ah bugger I REALLY need to remind myself (and anyone else that may be confused) is that I have stochastic overlayed on Bill Williams AC.

The value of 0 for AC would be the same value as 50 for stochastic, I keep saying 0 purely because when I look at the chart it says 0 line.

i'm trying to get the indicator to register with the 0 line of ac instead of at the 50 mark, thing is the 0 line of ac does tend to shift up and down.

double limit=NOIDEA is all that I need but I can't put in an iteration of iAC, which is all I could think of. Putting in another statement of iAC value didn't make sense to me as I need to merely refer to another indicator for a static value.

I'll scour the forums, if I find anything i'll post here
