Trend Indicator and EA

1. Use it alone on the chart Wattah_Attar_Explosion doesn't need to be on your chart.

2. That's up to you. Trendy is orginally meant to help your current trading system; not be a system onto itself. I believe when I get the EA done, that might help drive the point home.

Some have entered when a line gets above a certain point and exit below, some have entered on a cross, etc. Read through the thread. People will post how they use it.

et al,

What have you found in using Trendy?

Your welcome.

BTW, you don't need both Trendy's on the chart for Trendy_MTF to work. I wasn't specific enough in my last post. You just need Trendy in your indicator folder for Trendy_MTF to work.

Sorry about the confusion.

I would like to modify the trendy_mtf
Is it possible to add an alert on the line(blue or red) turn up to 60 or turn down to 60
It will make a noise and show a popup window to identify what pair did alert and what time frame.

Yes. Are you requesting someone to do it? Do you want the alert on the current candle (it will get noisy) or on the last closed candle?

Thank you for your reply and your sincerely,I have been solved it by myself.
I like your indicator a lot,reliable and simple.

I have a question. I have recently been using a stientz fractal breakout indicator. This indicator is pretty awesome if used with technical analysis to verify. It acts like an EA. GIves off a bell and pops open a window to tell which pair and time frame it signaled on and gives up down arrows where the expected opportunity would be. Using this indicator with support resistance I pocketed 222 pips on Friday. Had i not got stopped out earlier than expected(my falt) on one trade i could add another 35 to that. Maybe it would be a nice addition to the trendy?

It seems to work on all TF's but i mostly use it on 15-30m during 8-12 est to catch all the action.

The reason I bring it up is because i keep thinking with additional confirmation and if this was an actual ea automated this thing would obliterate.

Peace

Bullandbear,
can you post this indicator please?

I made a basic EA, consisting of only the trendy and trendy_mtf calls plus a comment to output on screen the data from both indys.

This pic shows how the data put on screen is different by the data given by the Trendy_MTF display.

The whole test EA, consists only in this few lines:
double trendy_blue= iCustom(Symbol(), 1440, "Trendy", 0, 0);
double trendy_red = iCustom(Symbol(), 1440, "Trendy", 1, 0);
double trendy_blue_min = iCustom(Symbol(), 240, "Trendy_MTF", 1440, 0, 0);
double trendy_red_min = iCustom(Symbol(), 240, "Trendy_MTF", 1440, 1, 0);
Comment ("Trendy blue = ", trendy_blue," -- Trendy red = ",trendy_red," -- Trendy_MTF blue = ",trendy_blue_min," -- Trendy_MTF red = ",trendy_red_min);

..this is realtime, same test EA i mentioned above, shows that sometimes the data differs also in realtime..and i just cant understand why..

..and just compared to a newly loaded Trendy (non-MTF) on daily..same divergent data..

I know this thread is old. However I was wondering if any improvements have been to this indicators. I have Been using it off and on for a while. It does seem to show different values on the chart than it sends to the platform.

Trendy only shows the current timeframe (unless you change the default value). Trendy_MTF takes into account more than just the current timeframe.
