Hello,

How can we code a Macd and Stochastic Cross into an Expert Advisor.

For example, if we have the Macd and the Stochastic in a same window and that we want to open an order when the Macd signal goes over/under the Stochactic main ?

I have studied arrays but i don't see how we can do it.

hi funyoo,
you know that stoch is a normalized indi for 0...100 levels ,
but macd is not normalized , thus when we use these two indi in one window ,
MT4 scales the macd to be best viewed, then if we change the zoom feature of window(more/less bars in displayed chart), the scaling will be changed and the crossing points will be changed,

the result:
you cannot use the cross or over/under feature for signalling.

Hi OTR

Thanks for your answer.

Yes that's the main problem, they have not the same scales.

With a manual trading, we can exploit the signal of course if it is generated on the last 2-3 bars, not too far in the past.

It would be nice to know how we can code it as there are several systems with this kind of crosses. Unfortunately you are right, that seems impossible.
