FXTradera..

Thanks for trying to help.. I have exactly the same problem as maxcruiver.. nothing seems to help here.

This is the only indicator problem I have had using the MT4 platform, and no one seems to know how to fix it.

Check out this candle - it has a tail.

There are candles that show an upper or lower tail. Most candles have an upper tail. There was a trader on the thread awhile ago that explained how the indicator works mathamatically. I believe if I am not mistaken the OHLC is used to perform the calculations.

The H/L creates the tail and the O/C creates the body. If you look at your charts you will see that the wick/body ratio goes in favor of the wick when there is less volatility.

If any of you still have not been able to load the indicators rest assured they work. You are doing something wrong. Go back to the thread at the top of the forum and re-read how to load and use the system.

Remember that the HAS will be on top of the platform window. The 4TF HAS BAR & 4TF HAS BAR2 will take up the same place on the lower portion of the platform. The two indicators get dragged and dropped in the same place. Refer to the instructions on the settings for these three indicators.

It is worth your time doing this as I don't see any new strategies posted anywhere that out perform this method. Am I biased? Absolutely!

Still hoping somebody out here will program an alert with a pop-up window. If you are interested I have an alert to signal when you are close to a horizontal line or trendline. You can set the values. I saw it on another thread and borrowed it.

It is not what I am looking for since an alert of the color changes would be better.

Hej steinitz

I hope this is what you are looking for.

I didn't see any alerts come up. You should try to add the alert to the either the HAS indicator or the 4TF HAS BAR.

Thanks

Make sure you delete the old "4 TF HAS Bar2.mq4" file in dir. \experts\indicators, then save the new one from #566 .
Open it in MetaEditor ,insert a emty space and then compile it.

If you then open several charts windows with differents symbols all set to 1MIN. for testing, I'm sure you soon will see popup alerts window comming up

I appreciate you trying to help but I can't seem to get this alert to work more then once. Yes I saw an alert once at the wrong time.

If you load the indicator and close out MT4 and re-open it the compiling takes place automatically. I tried several attempts with no success. Even a manual complile. The ex4 file does exist so that is not the issue.

For this alert to work I would expect the following:

1. On the currency of choice whenever the TF turns from red to blue or visa versa we should get an alert.

2. If you change TF's from 1M to any TF higher with a different color for the higher TF that should also give us an alert.

Is anybody getting this to work out there?

Hi,

I am new to this system. Looks very promising. I have donwloaded all the indicators and the EA. Wanted to find out few things about the EA:

- Are people having success with it?
- What are best settings?
- Can someone please explain what each setting means and how it affects?

Thanks for all your help!

Traders:

Here is what I have so far that I have closed out since last week of trading. The only reason I have one trade with a loss is because I closed all my trades out and didn't see that I had one trade with a loss. If I had seen that I would have kept it floating until it profited or the colors told me to close.

I want to reiterate something here also mentioned by Ace on an earlier post. I am unhappy for two reasons:

1. I am showing the entire trading community a trading method that is so simple and clear in design that dwarfs all other systems on the market. That is a bold statement to make. I will back this up with my recent statement. Yet I don't see the contribution for EA's and simple alerts.

2. I am unhappy with "Merlins" unwillingness to give me back my moderator status from a petty previous issue. I need that status to arrange my threads.

At this point you might be wondering if I really care since I do have a method that can make me wealthier beyond expectations. Here is the answer. I still believe there is some room for improvement that takes multiple minds to get this done.

I could leave like some other moderators and start a website and charge. I am not planning on doing that. I could ask you traders who believe this is a great thread to follow me elsewhere I am not going to do that.

I just want respect from this site and regain my moderator status. Maybe I'll never get it back and this post will further solidify the unresolve. I ask each and everyone of you (if you like this thread) to email "Merlin" and tell him that you feel Steinitz should have his moderator status back to organize the thread.

I am using 1 of my 3 methods #2. I have three threads too.

1. Normal entries
2. Scalping by using 4TF HAS BAR
3. Scalping by using price penetrating HAS bar

This was all done by way of manually set it and leave approach.

i saw your response to which method you are using... but still a little confused to as to which one it is.

anways great system.. and will be looking at this A LOT more.

Hi,

I could be very wrong but perhaps you should consider the option that maybe your system is not as good as you might think.

I mean, in the end it is just another moving average presented in a different way. Try creating a 12 ema and you'll see it moves just like your indicator.

Moving averages, as you sure know better than me, work good until the market turns choppy. For ranging markets, they are great....but in choppy times you'll end up loosing most of your profits.

As far as the MTF....the problem that you have to constantly manually reload it to refresh it makes it not so reliable.

I do not want to bring you down, so please do not take it personally, but when you are convinced you have got the best system and yet people stay away from it, you have to start to face reality and ask yourself: "am I being biased?"

Once again I could be very wrong so ignore me if you want, but I hate to see you feeling so desperate when people are not contributing to your thread.

Regards,

Future

I take no offense. There are thousands of traders on here including yourself because you haven't found a way to beat the market at least consistently. If you or I was making money on a daily basis I don't know about you but I have better things to do with my time then chat with everyone and answer the same questions over and over again.

I am putting myself out on the line which is more then I can say for most. I just downloaded a 1000 indicators and 500 EA's. What does that tell you. This is like playing chess with a grand master after 6 months of practice.

I have not heard of one EA make consistent profits yet. Why is that? I know a lot about statistics and the long run. I am just trying to be up beat as possible and have some fun trying to come up with a good solid system that has an edge. The key word is "edge".

Opinions are like A holes, everybody has one.

No offense!

This indicator shows a lot more than a 12 ema. These are candles, not a line on your chart. I personally like it. This thread is all about improving the system not bashing it. If you have any improvements, please share them. As far as programming help, maybe we have reached the limit on what can be done.

EXACTLY !!!!

And this is what happens to most systems in here.

Somebody comes up with one, then 3000 other people work on it trying to improve it changing 3000 things.

In the end, the thread is abandoned and people move on to the next best thing.....repeating the whole process once again.

Why ? Because, once again, no matter how hard you try, as soon as the market starts becoming choppy, there is no indicator or set up that will save you.

It is always the same story unfortunately.

This is not an attack to this thread, not at all. I actually downloaded all its indicators and tried it out, but once again it fails in choppy times.
