Same indy... it's just making use of its high and low to form a channel and trade within and outside the channel, a substitute of the existing HMA default setting.

Cheers !

I should mention that I still retain the Trix on the chart. I am an old trendline man from way back so still apply TLs as a habit - not necessat=y maybe but gives me something to do while I wait for PA!!

I'm glad the gif file posted OK!!

Am I correct in assuming that the next step in this strategy is to afford oneself a TS?

Hi Edge,

Can you help me be sure I'm understanding the logic correctly? On the attached AUDJPY chart there are two examples (using MT4 with Renko 10 pip bricks, MA set to 8,3,6, and Swingman's Trix set to 2,E,E,E). The light gray box just marks the recommended trading hours.

First - price moves over the MA and closes above it (candle 1). This is the primer and in addition Trix has moved above zero. No detonation because MA has not changed color. When Candle 2 closes the MA still has not changed color so we pass on the...
Forgot about this one this morning.

Setup is correct and you assessment is correct. First one is a no trade, second is a potential losing trade. Or, a good trade depending on entry. Tough call there.

Regards.

Hi

I've been trying to load the indicators (listed on page 1) into my Metatrader platform but it keeps crashing.

I've tried with other Metatrader platforms with no success.

I've loaded numerous other indicators with no problem until now.

Has anyone else had this problem - or know of a solution or something that I might be doing wrong.

Thanks

That depends on whether or not folks continue applying efforts to indicators on MT4 platforms. So far, most seem content with some of the indicators in use so we will wait and see.

Remove all of them and re-install all but the clock as it seems to use a good bit of power on some computers. See if it works and let the thread know.

Don't know if anyone has tried this yet, but think I've found some settings that get this to work with regular 5min c4 charts.
Haven't forward or back tested yet but looks like it may help filter out false signals from Trix etc...
TG may have found another way to help skin the proverbial pip cat for the die hard c4 users too!
I attached the template for anyone else inclined to play with it........
Not recommended for new users or prime time trading yet, just thought I'd throw it out there.
PS:
I put Syahmi's HMA Color nrp channel on the temp too.

It is possible that I am so simple minded that I just do not understand all of this.

You seem to find it easy to produce serious returns (90%+) using your platform, but are unable to reproduce that (apparently) on mt4.

Seems simple. Next step must be TS. Right? Can see no other possibility.

Thanks Edge,

One last point before tonight. The brick that crosses over the MA is the primer and the following brick you have called the "working brick". Do you generally enter the trade the moment the MA line switches color (before the brick is closed) or do you wait for the brick to close to confirm the color will not change. I could argue it either way.

If this is asking for too much hand holding you can assign pushups but would save lots of time comparing over time.

Best,

if you check last 50 or so pages of post, numerous people are using MT4 and consistently collecting pips.

TS is not a requirement for this to work.

Hey 45Fxguy, thanks for this and I like the way you got TudoGirl's Sync Indi in there as well.
My first look at the HMA channel... will give it a try.

Good idea 4xStar. Got rid of the zeroline and put in .075 and -.075 to form a channel. When yellow line crosses above go long and crosses below go short. Also many thanks to TudorGirl.

Hi, I still prefer the +/- .10 setting, the above is a bit too tight for me.

TG .. when I input the settings I want in the sync and save a template, when I apply it, the sync defaults to original settings. Also if I re-open MT4, it defaults to original settings and I have to change them on each chart ... any way to post the mq4 version or make the ex4 hold the changed settings?

Best,
As this MT4 material is still being worked on to accomodate the Nitro plan in particular, I would say that is a discretionary decision for a trader.

We still have definitive evidence that the LWMA will repaint, although it seems that this is only on the current brick most of the time.

Some use the HMA which a few have said also repaints to some extent. Obviously, that is cause for concern.

As such, I cannot give a definitive reply. We have another indi (Spectrum) which was introduced today that is being worked on as it seems to lag slightly but does not repaint.

Further, Swingman has mentioned his Renko material is not yet complete and we are awaiting his next submission.

So, I think it best to defer answering so as not to speak to soon. I too am working a few things on the MT4 platform but it is becoming pointless it seems. I am thinking that, while the base signals work fine, the discretionary aspect to this simply will not go away. It becomes a crapshoot. Will work a bit tomorrow on taking more TS signals and transposing them to demo trades on MT4 just to see where PA is between the two platforms.

Eventually, it is hoped some manner of testing will provide a reliable ea for MT4 to trade on. We shall have to wait and see.

Regards.
