MA of Indicator

I hope someone can help a Novice programmer. (very novice)

I would like to call a MA of the RSI indicator from an EA but do not understand the coding enough to do this -

can some kind soul help me out please.

The idea is to use this as a trade filter.

Another problem I don't understand is how to set up a switch that will allow only one trade after the condition is met for a trade and then reset after the trade is taken.

e.g. price crosses Gann HiLo take trade - no trade untill condition is met again.

I'm just trying to learn this stuff, hope someone can help.

Thanks

you know how u put a ma on a indy

u can code that, its simple, but i dont know how to find it

im to drunk

but il tell u this, theres also ways to add the ma value to the indy

example, ma 14 to close price

takle last 14 clkoses, divide by 14

you have ma

something like that
its all just a math from price
in mt4, all we realy have is ohlc of each bar

i think coders guru has a tutorial on how to code the ma onto the indy

try to search for all his tutorials, there realy good

i have done it before, and from his tut
but i cant remember where it ios

but i swear it exists

good luck friend

Hi TC, thanks for the reply.

I'm using the 'Color RSI with EMA' indicator as an entry/exit filter manually and have been testing several set ups that I have coded into simple EA's for back testing, it is a very good indi which I use in place of adding trend lines to RSI - but not being a coder I don't know how to get the MA values of the RSI to use in my EA.

I could probably work out how to add the MA of 'bars' from other code but how do I substitute the RSI values for the 'bars'?

Or, on the other hand can I just call the MA value from the indicator that I have - How do I write this one as icustom()?

Anyway I have attached the indi.

Cheers.

like this?
drug MA from navigator Indicators folder (not Custom ind. folder) into needed subwindow
set price to first or previous ind.data

Does this look right?

The ext variables from the Indi are as follows - so if I uderstand this correctly I need to include every ext value including the text and then the buffer number which is 3 in this case from the following.

So I have ended up with this -

double RSI_MA = iCustom(NULL, 0, "Color RSI with EMA", 50, 25, "0=close;1=open;2=hi;3=low", "4=median;5=typical;6=weighted", 0, "Chart Time Frame", "1=M1, 5=M5, 15=M15, 30=M30", "60=H1, 240=H4, 1440=D1", "10080=W1, 43200=MN1", "Current time frame", 50, 50, false, false, false, false, false, 3, 0);

I have added s '0' to the end for 'shift value' - is this correct or should it not be there?

Cheers

PBully


(This where i got the index buffer from)
SetIndexBuffer(0,RSIBuffer);
SetIndexBuffer(1,Upper);
SetIndexBuffer(2,Lower);
SetIndexBuffer(3,EMABuffer);
SetIndexLabel(0,"RSI");
SetIndexLabel(1,NULL);
SetIndexLabel(2,NULL);
SetIndexLabel(3,"EMA of RSI");

(This is all the external fields)
//extern int RSIPeriod = 50;
//extern int EMAPeriod = 25;
//extern string note1 = "0=close;1=open;2=hi;3=low";
//extern string note2 = "4=median;5=typical;6=weighted";
//extern int PriceType = 0;
//extern string note3 = "Chart Time Frame";
//extern string note4 = "1=M1, 5=M5, 15=M15, 30=M30";
//extern string note5 = "60=H1, 240=H4, 1440=D1";
//extern string note6 = "10080=W1, 43200=MN1";
//extern string timeFrame = "Current time frame";
//extern int overBought = 50;
//extern int overSold = 50;
//extern bool showArrows = false;
//extern bool alertsOn = false;
//extern bool alertsMessage = false;
//extern bool alertsSound = false;
//extern bool alertsEmail = false;

Thanks for the reply fxxx,

What I need to do is call the MA result from an EA.

eg. if RSI > MA of RSI == BUY

hey pbully

truth is, im drunk as hell
and i cant make heads or tails of ur post

but i do know, iv never had problem getting value from rsi

youv just made a simple error somewhere, like maybe u made something a int when it should be a double


youl probly figure it out before im sober

if 24 hrs from now you still need help, just pm me or something

if just using icustom is ur problem, well thats easy

for starterws, ur limited to like 7 buffers

that means theres only 7 things to try

trial n error

as long as ur using the custom indy defaults

all u need is this

dmi2= iCustom(NULL, 0,"indy name",1,0);

now see this

dmi2= iCustom(NULL, 0,"indy name",this is the buffer,0);

try 0 through 7
make 2 indies if neded


dmi2= iCustom(NULL, 0,"indy name",try 0-7,0);

example of heiken ashi
heiken ashi uses 2 buffers so wel doi this

ha1= iCustom(NULL, 0,"HeikenAshi",0,0);
ha2= iCustom(NULL, 0,"HeikenAshi",1,0);

i might be wrong, but from what i see, ur having problem with i custom, far as which buffer

im realy drunk, just trying to help

I works!!!

Yay


Thanks guys,

if anything comes from my fiddling I'll post it here.

By the way TC I'm still using your Super EA 12.3 and Companion for trade management - haven't seen anything better. (haven't made my fortune yet though - done some verrrry dumb things , but still in the game)

Cheers,

hi...

any one here, can help me to put alert on each level at default MA at MT4 Platform.

the default MA can put level, example 100, 50 0 and -50, -100, i need there is alert when the price hit the level or a number of pips that can setup optional.

don't change the default MA options, because i need all of them option on that.

please help me, i am looking all over the website but i can not get it.

thank you.
