take a look... i think for a big move down
If you are looking for down movement, it'll better to look at GU now. With today prelim GDP -1.9%, the bear sentiment still be better there than EU. Chart told it so.
Manage your risk accordingly and you're half done your home work.

Yes, there are problems associated with 'stacking' indicators on top of each other in a secondary window and indeed the order in which the indicators load can make a big difference.

You can easily change the order of the indicators by editing the template file, which is just plain text. If you do it this way you do not have to delete all the indicators and start again - particularly useful if you have already made a lot of colour changes or set up alerts in your indicators and now want to add something to the top of the heap. If you have never...
How do you access the guts of a template file? I see the templates folder, but when I look into it there are just lists of the templates files.....which cannot be opened in normal fashion. Is there a special program to do this?

Have been working off and on for quite a while with the NVO.mq4 (Normalized Volume Indicator) from the MQL Code Base, changing and adding some neat stuff.....after all, Volume is very boring isn't it!

I was in the home stretch and hit a snag. Guess who bailed me out? That's right.....our own loving MissPips, God bless her! She is an absolute WIZ! And I, for one, am most grateful to her for sharing the fruit of her capabilities.

This indy shows volume bars in different colors based on their percentage of the average bar for the volume averaging...
The Volumes Emphasized.mq4 file is now attached to the original post. I encourage all to read the copy at the head of the compile of the file (open MetaEditor and select this .mq4 file to look at). Feel free to comment (by PM if Cobra prefers) about your experiences with this after you have used it a while. Enjoy! (And remember MissPips put the crowning touch to this one!)

Hi Trader,
When you have your MetaTrader set-up as you want it, just save the template to your desktop (for instance) by right clicking on the chart then >template >save template.

The resulting file is in plain text but with the .tpl extension - it can be opened by any plain text editor. The structure is quite easy to follow, a bit like HTML as here:
<chart>
<indicator>
<window>

YOUR DATA

</indicator>
</window>
</chart>
You can copy/paste a whole indicator section, complete with it's own settings and preferences and move it to a different location in the template file, then re-save under a different name and re-load to see the changes.

The only change I make is in the variable window_num=

If I am moving an indicator to the top of the stack so that it will load first, I change this to window_num=0. May not even be necessary.

Hope this is useful - best of luck

...a huge long list, and I am not really sure where one section/indy data stops and another starts. I'd probably mess it up big-time. If that happened I'd end up wishing I'd just deleted and re-added the indys to the chart in the new order! Your's is a great idea, and I appreciate all the time you spent to instruct me. But, believe me, if there is a mistake to be made when trying to identify a large block of data, and then remove it and re-insert it elsewhere, and not in the middle of some other block of data,.....I'd probably make it!

All data belonging to an indicator sits between <indicator> and </indicator>

Here is your latest indi from a template which I am playing with:

<indicator>
name=Custom Indicator
<expert>
name=Volumes Emphasized
flags=275
window_num=1
<inputs>
VolumePeriod=10
Numbers_shrink_bars_in_display=2=1/2, 3=1/3, 4=1/4, 5=1/5, etc
Enter_ShrinkNumber=12.00000000
Need_2_numbers_dividing_range=0-100 into 3 parts (33&66, 25&50 etc)
Enter_Number_1=38.20000000
Enter_Number_2=61.80000000
Display_volume_percentages_text=1
BelowAverageTextColor_0=255
AboveAverageTextColor_1=65535
AboveAverageTextColor_2=3329330
AboveAverageTextColor_3=15570276
AboveAverageTextColor_4=13850042
Text_in_window_0123=0
Text_in_corner_0123=3
__Text_Horizontal_Indent=5
__Text_Vertical_Indent=275
</inputs>
</expert>
shift_0=0
draw_0=0
color_0=-1
style_0=0
weight_0=1
shift_1=0
draw_1=2
color_1=-1
style_1=0
weight_1=1
shift_2=0
draw_2=2
color_2=9125192
style_2=0
weight_2=1
shift_3=0
draw_3=2
color_3=55295
style_3=0
weight_3=2
shift_4=0
draw_4=2
color_4=3329330
style_4=0
weight_4=2
shift_5=0
draw_5=2
color_5=15570276
style_5=0
weight_5=2
shift_6=0
draw_6=2
color_6=13850042
style_6=0
weight_6=2
period_flags=0
show_data=1
</indicator>

If I now change one of the params in this indi file, like shrink number, it will change the indicator next time it is loaded. Similarly moving the whole lot to the first position in the list will mean this indi loads first and others will be drawn on top of it.

Apologises to anyone who thinks this is well off-topic - maybe it helps someone?

Here is the pivot indicator, let me know what you think, and the reasoning as to why they are different.

My pivots.
A quick look at your indy formulas did not turn up anything suspicious, so maybe the method of getting the data is in error. The coding looks long, drawn out, and unsophisticated, so maybe there is an error in there somewhere. My suggestion is to go to some of the internet URLs where they post the pivots and compare, and throw out whichever indy seems faullty. Let me know what transpires with that, please.

Attached is the all-in-one from which I branched out and created individuals.....so I could show any/all on the same chart at same time. This reads v6, but I failed to keep the version notes in compile up-to-date, and so they only reference changes I made up thru v2. And the individuals were futher worked, and so are better. I attach it so you can see the original source of the code, which has not been modified, which is plain and brief, and which complies with standards, and in case you want an all-in-one.

Thanks TAH,

Ill check it out, I was simply putting SDX pivots to show on TF M1-H1, and the other to only show on H4-MN, simple enough.

Have a great weekend.

Pivots generated by SDX-TzPivots will differ if your timezone settings are altered from the timezone your server is on, which all other pivot indy computations will be based upon. But whatever Tz settings you use with SDX-TzPivots, the numbers generated are correct. And the SDX pivot formulas are the same as in the other pivot indys I posted. However, the pivots indy you show on your H4 chart does not seem to comply with standards. And it seems so far off that even if it too, like SDX, had the ability to alter time zone settings, it still seems way out of whack. So if you start to investigate and compare with other sources, let me know what you find out.

EU M1 Chart: We may see some PA action, in other words.......BUMP & RUN. Lets see what happens.

Edit: Unchecked "Show Trades" and look what happened......the tri-color T3 Coral got fixed! So, (are you listening, MissPips?) there is another clue to fixing this indy. Ok, now we know that both the "cloud" and "Show Trades" interferes with this indy if you are not using the solid line option.

EU M1 Chart: Run down is stalled. Wonder why? (Hey, I might be completely wrong about this, but....)

Edit: Add second chart. Applied my little Bollinger band FE thingy....lets see where this might be headed......162%, 262%, 424%....?

Edit: Ops! Maybe this should appear "THV" style! (I love that easy change Candlesticks vs Heiken Ashi Candles indy....another "Crown Gem" from MissPips!)

Edit: Add fourth chart....wonder if this might make it down to the FE 662% area.... R2 coincides with 662%. It might just make it to mR3 which coincides with 262%.

EU M1 Chart: Seems like it is official now.....a nice Pump 'n Dump. Pumped to the whole number and dumped.....all the way down below the half number.

Some whipsawing now. If they intend it to go further down, they want "buyers" to become encouraged that their Dump, so far, has just been a "minor pullback", and will take up the buy side so the big boys can add more shorts here.....

Edit: I am out around the 1.3240 area, making around 40 pips average on my trade components. Have a good weekend everyone. They may stab this down again, but I've had enough for today.

Edit: Add second chart showing that they ran it up again on light volume and then heavy volume came in at the highs....... If they pump it above 1.3280 again, I may be tempted to enter, even if it means hold over weekend.....only very light trade though, if I do it.

Edit: Add third chart. They heard me and refused to risk pumping up over 1.3280 a second time before their planned dump.....(Ha! Just kidding!) So, it looks like for me, that really is it for this week.
