Hello

I am trying to create an indicator which counts how many price tics in each bar but have almost no coding knowledge.

So basically I just need an indicator which counts the ammount of price ticks in each bar for what ever timeframe it is applyed to.

Any help would be much appreciated I'm not sure if this indi already exists?

Thanks very much

.... I already have this tick indicator so I'm thinking it can just be modified to count how many ticks it makes for each bar instead of displaying each tick as a line chart...

hmmmm

I have got one i just have to find it among all my indicators, from memory it gives 10 candles worth of ticks and you can set several timeframes on the same chart, i do remember that you have to wait for the ticks to build up in real time the indicator always loads onto the chart with a zero value. I will see if i can find it for you.

Thanks cja that would be awesome - yes I never expected it to be able to recall hitory ticks its the same with the tick indicator i already have.

Thanks so much

Is there any reason it only gives 10 candles worth of ticks? is there anyway to make it more or does it take up too much memory or something..

Thanks again

Your welcome. It was fairly easy in the end because I didn't realize that 'volume' actually refers to 'number of ticks' and not, as I have wrongly believed till now, some sort of financial volume. So I need to thank you also for making me learn something new today

Hi
I have found the Tic indicator and i compared it against a volume indicator that i put together and the results are different, they are close but the volume oten reads ahead of the Tic indicator try them together and you will see what i mean. My understanding is that the tic is for every movement of price but the Volume is for every trade placed so you can get several trades placed causing 1 Tic.

You can use the ex4 file also just by copying it in to the experts/indicators folder and restarting MT4. mq4 files are only the source code.

Thank you Guru, I'm a newbie to mq4....
I've saved the .ex files to Experts/Indicators and restarted the platform.
Still do not show in the Custom Indicators...?

That is really odd. I have never had a problem with that before.

Can anybody else suggest something that trust may need to do?

Hello,
Please, can anyone create a simple indicator as follows:

What I want to be able to set as input for the indicator:

  1. I want to be able to set a custom MA value (MA not needed to be visible on chart).
  2. I want to be able to set 2 imaginary levels for the MA previously set (e.g. +70 above MA, and -70 below MA, see picture - Levels: 70), (levels not needed to be visible on chart).
  3. I want to be able to set a custom number which will do nothing, just for info purpose (see picture - Step)


What should the indicator do:

  1. The indicator should calculate the distance from current price to the MA previously set, and show the number of pips without decimals (see picture - Distance).

  1. If the price is over the upper level (in our case +70) the Distance should be colored green (see picture as example).
  2. If the price is below the lower level (in our case -70) the Distance should be colored green again.
  3. If the price is between the levels it should not be colored (can be black).

  1. If the price approaches the upper level (+70) with 30 pips it should be colored orange (as a warning for me to be prepared).
  2. If the price approaches the lower level (-70) with 30 pips it should be colored orange (as a warning for me to be prepared).


That's all.

I'm not a coder but I see some issues with the request already:

1. - Imaginary levels? I mean, come on, everything is based on price.

2. - +70 - again, no specifics, 70 WHAT?

Good Luck

If you are serious, find a real coding expert -

Ciao, per favore, qualcuno può creare un semplice indicatore come segue: Cosa voglio poter impostare come input per l'indicatore: Voglio poter impostare un valore MA personalizzato (MA non deve essere visibile sul grafico). Voglio poter impostare 2 livelli immaginari per il MA impostato in precedenza (ad esempio +70 sopra MA e -70 sotto MA, vedi immagine - Livelli: 70), (livelli non devono essere visibili sul grafico). Voglio poter impostare un numero personalizzato che non farà nulla, solo a scopo informativo (vedi immagine - Passaggio) Cosa dovrebbe...
