HoursMT4TimeZoneFromGMT:
Enter the number of hours difference between the MT4 server time zone, and GMT.
For example, FXDD uses a server that is two hours before GMT, hence enter "2".
If the server is in NY, 5 hours after GMT, you would enter "-5" ("-4" during
DST). Use default value "0" for normal, non-time shifted pivot calculations.

Enter the number of hours difference between your selected time zone to start

Thank you traderathome, I've been reading those paragraphs once and again. It is very clear that if we want the day to begin (not the trading session, but the day in the timezone, that is, 00:00 EST for NY) it works nicely in any of the brokers. You set -5, and it is 00:00 EST when ODL is at 05:00 GMT and FxPro at 07:00 GMT.

I guess then that it only works to set a beginning from a 00:00 hour and not a particular session, that's why when different times during the day are set it gives wrong ranges and such.

And then I'm lucky that FxPro starts with the USA open/close time

When you see that both Trix lines are hiding below zero you can expect a short move, hiding both to the north, a long move.
Of course needs to be confirmed by the THV.

BTW: Forgot to point that out, there was also a divergence in play, the green lines.

But then why when I shifted the 24 hour period (midnight to midnight at GMT +2 hours) to midnight to midnight NY/EST time (GMT -5 hours), did the Yesterday line print at Friday midnight NY time correctly, but then jumped the gun and printed the Today line at Sunday 5pm NY time incorrectly....it should have waited and printed it at Sunday midnight! .....??????

Edit: By the way, I just went back and tried the +2, -5 settings now that it is past midnight EST and guess what....the lines are now correctly placed....midnight to midnight EST! Wierd.

Edit 2: I decided to put the pivots on a 4 hour chart.....the values are there, Separators are there, but the actual pivot lines are not displaying.....guess I have to wait for the 1st 4 hour period to end....the one that started at midnight EST? This needs fixing. If the values are already on the screen, the durned lines ought to be also!

Yes I was going to tell you the same... "mine is working now"... and the funny thing is that when I tested (on your first post mentioning it) I had the same error as yours...

As it is on FXDD (and FxPro, which have the same server timezone) it is very possible that the sunday candle messes the calculations for a while.

Or we've got a forex goblin playing around

On my side, I'll leave it as it is for now. I still have to test your "SweetSpots" indicator.

I am very happy with the new cleaner setup and especially the mid-pivots showing, and I missed a good short because of all this timezone frenzy, LOL... anyway I'm just waiting for a good long re-entry point (the setup on H4 is quite tempting for a longer bullish trade... but... there's still time. Better safe than sorry...

For the ones that can’t or don’t want to have the eyes always on the chart, here a T3 Trix signal indicator that gives a sound, popup and point on chart alarm.
Once it gives an alarm, it is time to see if you stay in the trade or just buy or sell -analyzing before the THV template.
Im sorry... How do I use this? do I have to insert it like another indicator???

I did that and nothing happends... no alerts????

Check under the "Experts" tab on the terminal window. It is making the platform awfully slow. This and the new "variable spread" are driving me nuts!

The function might be interfering with something else... it's a red flag on the experts journal.

There are several objetmove funtions in the code, no idea what makes the trouble now, will have a look later to the code.

May be your platform doesn't compile the indicator, try to insert both of them in the indicators folder than close and open your platform again:

Ok, I downloaded from my posts these two indicators and am using them on a chart, so far without any problems. Can you explain the circumstances of your problem(s)?

Oh, and I still do not get pivot lines, just values on a 4 hour chart when set to NOT display across entire screen. Displaying across entire screen is ok ("startofday" variable in this case is zero, and prints lines). I found a way to fudge so lines will be drawn on 4 hr chart starting NEAR to the Today line, but not exactly from it like on all lower charts. They extend thru the period line just a bit.....almost neat, but not ideal. I think the 4 hour chart times and the overall time coding are not coming together. Maybe original code did not anticipate a 4 hour chart being used.

Some minutes ago I noticed some problems and thought "Oh, no! Did I do a boo boo with those indicators?" But then I noticed the "No Connection" statement on the lower right of the MT4 window. Once reconnected, no problems. So, I am wondering if you were/are having intermittant connection problems like I was, and maybe that is why you are experiencing anomalies?

No I don't (at least not now). When connection is intermittant the platform gets off/on. Anyway it would never be every tick... but I haven't had any connection problem today.

Seems it's on a loop somewhere, or there's a specific time given for the function that I'm obviously not in. I have checked them separately on a fresh chart and the same happens. As soon as the indicator is initialized, it's like an avalanche of red alerts. Even if the price is not moving so in fact it wouldn't be at every tick as I said before.

Edit: Look at the time. There are around 40-50 red alerts for a single second, in batches. They start exactly on the init.
