I did that but no luck.
It worked for me...just right clicked on my chart and loaded the Mtf template file from the drop down...it pulled the indy info from my list of indy's...


Make sure you didn't post the .tpl in the experts template folder but put it in the MAIN template folder.

Other than that..
Sorry

Hi, I'm hoping someone can help. I put the template in and there are no red and blue bars that show up. All it shows is a new window with nothing in it. I tried shifting timeframes but still nothing. I also tried to manually put the trix MTF indicator in but nothing comes up, just a blank window. Any suggestions?

Just an idea! You might like to download smSuper TRIX_v1.ex4 from the Attachments along with the posted Trix MTF meter roy 05 showing confirmed signals.ex4 and put them in the experts/indicators folder of your MT4.

Hope this helps!

This time two versions released: 0.91d and 1.0d.
0.91d is a bug-fixed version of 0.62d. It looks the same as 0.62d.
1.0d is to adapt the x-block line-up method.
The attached pic shows the comparison of the two versions. You may select the way you like to download. If you want to use the x-block line-up, I suggest 1.0d.
By defaut, to keep simplicity and cleaness, the "ShowWeakColor" and "ShowPipsToReversalOnLable" options are disabled. If you want to use them you may switch them on. I personally have "ShowWeakColor" on on H4, H1 and M30 to...

I believe a manual will surely help confused people like me.
I generated the same chart posted by Gleneagles but added the Trix signal. I need help in the following:
Am I correct to say that:
1) the 3 blocks aligned (drawn with blue line) is with sequence of M5 first, then M15, then M60 confirmed last, thus it is not in the usual sequence that mentioned earlier on that 60 should come first, then 15, then 5?
2) Can I still look to trade with this sequence of 5 first, 15, 60 confrimed last?
3) the SIGNAL bar is actually the 5min bar with TRIX arrow, right before the Green line? but not the bar with green line drawn?
4) If singal bar is correct, then the trigger level is 2 pips above the high of the SIGNAL bar I highlighted, and it was triggered on the bar drawn with Green line, even BEFORE bar was closed?
Thank you for all your help.

Glen, you are doing great job, thankyou.

One clarification: how long the signal is valid? If the next candle does not trigger, then the signal is no longer valid, and we need to wait for the next "same color" lineup?

An other: if the lineup is "blue" (signalling a long trade) and the signal candle is longer than the previous candle, we open the trade on the next candle open?

Sounds trivial? Believe me, it is not.

The easiest way to trade this VERY SIMPLE system is to use the indicator written by Royston. The blocks show confirmed signals so there is no guesswork , no searching..nothing..zip.

On a 5M chart

You simply load 3 indicators into the same subwindow with TF settings 5 15 60.
If you see [size=4]3 BLOCKS [size=2]of the [size=4]SAME COLOR, lined up, you have a CONFIRMED ...

1,2 - There is no difference what the sequence is, as much as I understand. I personally take trades only from M5, i.e I enter after a signal on M5 if M60 and M15 have already confirmed the direction.
3 - the signal candle is the one with the Trix arrow.
4 - you enter during next candle(s) as soon as the high of signal candle is broken. By the rules it is by 2 pips.

Hi...

The labels.... ie m5, m15, m60 keep changing their positions... sometimes up.. sometimes down.... sometimes overlapping each other.... I tried to get rid of those but failed to do so...

Say for example you move on from TF5, TF15, TF30 etc.... then you go back to TF5... labels will overlap.... I dont know how to solve this...

Appreciate your help.. Thanks a lot. BTW it's very nice indy.

Cheers !

P/S : Never mind... I just changed the labels color to 'black'.... And now I don't see those anymore...

Hi.

Glen will be away at least for some days, so I try to answer your questions.
1. A signal is valid until we receive an opposite signal.
2. It is not important if the signal candle is longer than previous candle. And we never enter authomatically on the next candle open - we enter when the price reaches signal candle's high + 2 pips.

Put smscalpersignal indi on your charts, it has an alert function. Set it up on on a 30M and 60M chart, it can run in the background. It will sound an alarm and a pop up window will appear.


Glen, thanks for the solution. If one can't have a physical robot one in cyberspace will have to do.

I have taken two trades so far today - a bad one and a good one.
Should not trade GU as there are news today. I hoped that I can take my pips and get out well before the big news but was punished very quickly.
EY was a more logical one and brought the lost pips back to me.

I at once explain my chart setup, too.
I now use the latest version of MTF Trix by xecret. I have set all labels to false as I do not want to see them on my chart. Also I do not need "weak colour" or any dots.
The rows of blocks are in a bit unusual order: 5, 15, 60, 240, 1440, 30. The reason is that 30 I need least. Most often I trade first three rows - 5,15,60. And if I for some reason decide to trade 5,30 then it is not too difficult to look at the first and last row. I set different colours for 30 to avoid possible confusion if I for some reason lose my clear mind

P.S. xecret - many thanks to you for the special version of the indicator that works also with Windows Vista!

EURJPY +45 +40 +20 +15

I am liking this
There is a challenge for those trading in the EST time zone, even if I get up at 5am, the moves for the UK session have mostly happened, so I need to wait for a bit of a pull back before entering. in this case there were some green blocks on the 15 and the 5 before I got 3 red blocks, I got a bit of a scare when it moved against me, but then I got my pips (110 pips)

There is nothing wrong with the concept itself. But any concept can be interpreted in different ways.
If "less" stands for TP and "more" for SL then...

Apologies if this is a really dumb question as I am a bit of a newbie to MT4 and FF but a big fan of all your contributions. I loaded Glen's .tpl and Roy's trix meter from post number #2310. That is all I have loaded onto my screen. I was just wondering what all the smaller green and red boxes are on the top row of the trix meter and the green and red arrows to the right? Thanks again and feel free to flame if I am being an idiot.

Hi,

after rereading I tried it again. The trade GBPUSD worked fine but USDCAD didn't succeed. I'm pleased about any explanation.

The yellow lines show up how I decided to enter the trades.

GBPUSD = + 37,6 pip
USDCAD = - 20,0 pip

If there are pips you can collect - just do it!

The way I see it, you are going very nearly near the high of the day again, and although the GU one worked out, I wouldn't have taken the USDCAD mainly because it had been so long since the 5min signalled, I would have waited for a fresh one. I think you need to take into account what is going on around the bars on the chart and decide if its likely the trade will get kicked back, both GU and UC were both very near R3.
