I have a little (or big) task for a good coder here.

This posted Trix indicator has two lines, I have the idea to paint them depending on the level they are, like shown in the picture (it’s only painted one for explanation).

The also attached xpma indicator does that job and may be you can use part of the code.

For the slower T3MA I would like to have the option to disable the function.

I also would like to have an playsound .wav alarm on cross of one T3 line to the other that sounds only once for candle.

At the end I want to include the attached RSI indicator in the same window but not overlaid, coded into the Trix indicator but it's secondary.

Please can somebody help me, it is for the THV thread.

Thanks a lot.

I give up.

I see that beside of atending a thread (I spend dozens of hours weekly in that) and helping new traders I need to learn coding as well as there is no support in here.

Unfortuately I'm one of the only dumps who spent thousands of hours to present a reliable trading system without charging any cent and I'm responding any question on it almost 20 hours a day.

Do you think that I should now invest my money to contract a coder to give later an improvement for free in my trading system?

If everybody would think like you I wouldn't be here to help newbees.

Shame on you.

Many thanks Cobra ... for sure you are not a dumb for doing this indeed .. you are the most generous trader i have ever seen among all the forums i joined.

you know i personally expect every one giving help with trading on the internet is doing this for another reason like marketing his indicators, books and other stuff ... or then why did he spend his time on something that won't give him what he would gain from spending such time on trading ?!

seriously .. you are unique Cobra ... i wish all the traders in your level are like you >>> Sharing fun with others (like you said before )

AND piccolo .. i don't agree with you at all .. Cobra was doing this for free .. you could have helped him with your experience if you would like ... but if i were you i wouldn't have talked like that.

i wish i can help you Cobra .. but u know i am a newbie and i don't know anything about programming indicators.

someday i 'll be a professional programmer so if you need any help with such stuff i am there for you.

But you're only spending "thousands of hours" on it because you don't know how to program. With the right skills, you could model new ideas with programs in no-time flat.

Honestly, I think you're approaching this the wrong way. Anyone in this forum that REALLY know how to program EAs most likely has a coding background. If that's the case, then they're probably a code in real-life. So, that person is going to know better than to code, for free, based on some random posting.

FWIW, some of us DO post code for free. I've posted various pieces of code, a free scanner, a free indicator and two profitable EAs

LongToBeFree, presenting a good trading system for free isn't only coding, that was the most easy part of it and I did it by myself with the help of Traderathome who spent also endless hours coding changes on the trix and Pivot indicator of my system.

It is back and forward testing (years of trading on a simulator), adjusting the settings until you are fine with them, preparing the thread, responding the questions made and so on.

Now the system is very reliable and it comes to some deeper coding that I can't do because it's not my skill (yet).

I always understood this place (FF) as a free source of interchange of knowledge but may be the program forum isn't.

If someone needs help to help others isn't needed to hit him in the face.

I promise that I will learn coding and do my stuff for the FREE THV thread by myself, if there is a will there is a way.

BTW: Picolo contacted me by email and apologized that I accepted, peace for all the world.

You make good points and I agree with you. Some things to point out tho...

1. He was looking to get a couple existing indi's modified for an established thread here on FF, not get free EA's written and/or supported.

2. If that wasn't possible or feasible for reasons only a genuine coder would understand, there could have been a more constructive response that would either settle that point or lead to an alternative.

3. Not sure how you see Cobra's original post as "random". It was clear and concise as to goal and end use. His qualifications and contributions here can easily be established with a few minutes of research.

4. Your last statement that I bolded is my final point and the reason he came here in the first place, "FWIW, some of us DO post code for free."...
FUBAR...

Please don't be so cynical... I'm very much offended. If you take the time to read some of the other threads here, you'd know people do help around in here as best they can.

Do understand that sometimes programmers do have to prioritize the replies they can provide. I can sometimes spent hours or so on just a single reply as I wanna get my point across as clearly as possible which often results in quite a long post. Not all of us can afford dozens of hours in the forums... so I often do have to screen/pick/choose the threads I'd devote my time to.

That's the reason I shifted my attention from the "Trading System" forum over to "Programming Discussion" forum. I'd prefer answering questions posted by aspiring programmers who needs help learning the skill. That way I hope to have more programmers helping out. There's just too few of us here...

I skipped this thread cos I have no idea what the THV system is, I suppose it's one of those threads with thousands of posts that I just can't catch up. In usual case, good systems would have a coder or two tagging themselves to it and I was hoping they would be the ones to put up their hands.

I must say... if not for some of the other members here vouching for your credits, I would've sum you up under "not-worth-helping" by this post alone. I can only hope you'd show a little patience and tact when asking for assistance. again, I don't like to spend/waste time researching on a particular member.

That said... Since no one else has offered to help yet (likely because they're turned off by posts such as this), I will look into modifying those indicators this week when I can find the time.

regards,
Zen
Programming for a better future.

Thank you zen for your offer.

With the help of a good trading friend (FreddyFX) we found a helpful hand and will get it.

I think that my posts didn't offend to nobody and I don't understand why you put youself that shoe on.

And please if you want to jugde me, first take your time to read at least a bit of my thread to see what we are doing there, it's not one of those threads like you mention.

Have a good trading week.
