Need Programming Help with Bykov Indicator

Hi There. Attached is the bykov indicator. I use it for trend reversals and it's really effective.

But it would be even better with an audio alert. Could some kind programmer add that to the code? I gave it a shot nd failed. I'm just looking for the audio alert to trigger when the the bykov indi paints the arrow for the trend reversal.

Thanks very much!

Sandy

PS the filename says alert already and has my code in it but it doesn't work

This may solve your problem. edit: post below

hey codobro....... couple small notes...... the function curtime has been replaced by TimeCurrent....

your missing a ) at the end of both statements using curtime and also the ending } after return(0); .....

you might want to adapt the code to alert just once, otherwise i'll be alert on every tick.....h

Thank you hayseed, I posted before I saved the last version, sorry.

You may want to check your coding again as it's firing on every single tick. I put it on a 1MIN chart to test and it continuously goes off.

Thank you Lux, I had to do a little more to this than I'd hoped, but it should be what was asked for.

I would like to know the method used to trade with this, looks interesting.

hey codobro..... sandy would know best how she uses it but here is an common method....

first for those not famaliar with the bykov trend, a brief explanation....

the bykov trend is really just the williams %.... iwpr..... it is defining the uptrend as once the wpr crosses above a set level, such as -20, but only after it has previously fell below another level, such as -80.....

and the down trend is the converse.... when wpr falls below a set level, such as -80, but only after it has previously crossed above another level, such as -20.....

it must cross both and in order for the signal of a trend change....

now use......

you could apply the bykov trend, or simply wpr% to the weekly timeframe.... if the bykovtrend on weekly timeframe is up, concentrate on buying any lower tmeframe buy signal..... if the bykovtrend on the weekly is down, concentrate on selling any lower timeframe sell signal....

those buy/sell signals can be anything .....

the bykovtrend is just a filter, it seems to help me by filtering even further.... that could be things like the aha bars and psar....

so , we would buy any buy signal only when the bykovtrend agrees, psar agrees and aha bars agrees, and same for sells.....

in the picture below i've increased the size bykov arrows, placed the wpr, psar , aha bars, and placed vertical lines making the defining wpr trend change level breaks...... you can envision the trades.... and a quick simple ea can verify.... h

Thank you for the explaination, hayseed. It did seem as if that's how the indicator worked.
I have used %R on lower timeframes for just this purpose, its quite good in picking a reversal point with a trend filter.

Hi Codobro. Thank you for updating the bykov alert ! I really appreciate it!

And hi Hayseed! Good to see you here. Yes I've been using the bykov for scalping on the 15 and 5M timeframes. I use QQE and bh ergodic for confirmations. It works pretty well. I've heard that bykov is recommended for the 1H and higher timeframes though.

Thank you again Codobro! Take care Hayseed

You are very welcome, I'm glad I could pass along some of the help that this forum has given me

Hi Nubchai,
Thank you for this indi. Works great with SAR and EMA trigger.
