It's a refershing issue.

Just reattach the indi and that should fix it.

[Edit] Here is a solution. I added a delete command before the "ObjectCreate" line. That should clear each line and draw a new one in its place.

StartDraw = FirstVisibleBar();
EndDraw = FirstVisibleBar()-BarsPerWindow();

if startdraw changes delete and create the objects. declare these 2 vars as globals not external. you can time limit startdraw for indies that do not need to process data many times a second. ymmv.

Nope.

The way the coloring system works is it's a particular percentage between 0 (red) and 65,536 (green)

works much better now deleting the objects. nice. may i suggest a extern bool for turning the print function off/on. with too much printing and you can risk losing the experts tab. regards.

Lol, I forgot about the printing. (That's how I debug in mt4).

A shame it can't be turned into an EA to be put on multiple TFs and pairs.

To be able to catch the BIG moves and capture everything in between would be way cool - I mean HOT

Sad isn't it? That's the only way to really debug anything in MT4. Printing and Comments.

Please read the thread, it is a short thread anyway.

Use the most recent one. That's what I use.

The other versions move the labels to the background, and only show the extremes.

I would have to say that this indicator is responsible for making me a healthy 8,000 pips last month (using only 1 trade per signal).

Ok,, ,so now you've really peaked my interest RR. I've been "lurking" around these threads about a year now, reading, researching and learning. Trading everything I can find for long periods of time (and yes I know that's overtrading) so I can gain the screen time needed to become consistently successful.

I've seen some really great claims,, and been able to verify most of them as correct, no matter what the nattering nabobs of negativity say. So,, how about a few more of your charts showing what you used to take the trade and to exit,,I know its crystal clear to you, but I, at least could use the examples to learn by.

8,000 pips,,, amazing, simply amazing.

Great job and looks like a really strong indicator.

By the way, here is an image I took of my own first three trades,, ,all successful for a total of +60 pips. I used Spudfyre's Stochastic threads to help me decide if P/A had really turned so I could take the trade and 5 period LWMA to help me stay in them. By the way,, that last trade ended very, very well, about +40.

Ok,, I'm a bit of a hack, but definitely not a good programmer, but thought I'd see if I could add a bit for functionality.

I exposed a couple of the internal functions so users could choose different colors and "scale" them so they are a bit more pleasant to use. Those reds and greens work but in some instances can be very hard to look at.

The attached screen shot is one using the latest indicator RR uploaded with the functions exposed. I am using two blue based colors and a "step" of 5 with a multiplier of 100 to adjust the color scheme so it can provide what RR wants but is a bit more pleasant (my opinion only) to look at and use.

Still would love to know how you set your SL on those trades RR and a bit more about how you use this one.

This indicator isn't really meant to be used as an entry signal. It's better off as a reference against support/resistance. As one of the other posters here found out with his/her three 20" monitors, the s/r levels seem to hold for long periods.

As for setting stoplosses, I usually look for the most recent red/green border. That's usually where the price can break out and it's a bad idea to be on the wrong side of the trade.
