Looking at EURUSD and the MR1. Even if it closes above that line i'sent the macd bar to high above the centre line?
No. The macd bar sticking out above the signal line means that the uptrend is going to continue. That's what you want to see.

I'm not a programmer, and I don't know how to make that adjustment on this indicator. I just slide my chart down to check for the indicator's signal. Maybe one of the many programmer's on ff can fix this for us. I would sure appreciate it.
I am a programmer, however I am so new to this, I don't even know what platform you are using. Please describe your setup, what charting system, what trading platform, etc. Maybe I could help.

Hi...i have also been watching the thread from the beginning; i really like the way you are able to be remote and disciplined about your entries, stop losses and take profits....that and the fact that it appears to be mechanical is a great edge;

i am rather old but did something similar in the 80's and it worked well then although it is obsolete now...so congratulations...please keep up the good work and thanks for sharing

Hi lgtj, based on our PM, please check the attached modified colored MA. Let me know if this is what you need. The one thing i'm not sure about is the signal line rising and falling on the current MACD bar. Is that not how it is supposed to be. The original v102 version had scaled the numbering by dividing by Point, which i presume was done to be able to compare charts on a 4digit and on a 5digit version. I have removed that division. This has also allowed to see the 0 horizontal line.

Thanks Fredella. Look at this chart and notice where I put the red lines. The signal line still falls and the top of the macd bars and signal line can't be seen. I've also attached the colored macd that I was talking about. Thanks again.

Not sure what the issue is, but potentially to do with rounding. I have applied a factor of 10 and it seems to be ok now although you won't get the same scale as the previous MACD indicator. Let me know. It is attached to my earlier post.

Fredella, the signal line just fell on the new candle. Look at this chart. Maybe it can't be modified.

Looks like usdcad daily is ready to go south. Price broke through the trend lines and the support level and closed below them. The weekly chart confirms the daily. Look at these charts.

Those black daily and red weekly bars tell me all I need to know about price - it's going down.

Hi, Fredella!

I was just wondering if you could program an indicator that would give us an arrow on daily candle close when all conditions for entry are met as per the strategy. Of course the SR levels and things like that will still be up to our decision, but RSI, MACD, etc... would be lined up.

Hi, I'm struggling with one indicator, let alone 4 or 5 ! Will do my best once i've got that issue sorted though. Would i need to store the current arrow for a couple of days until the other conditions are met, is that what you think should happen? If so, how many days?

Cheers

I would just leave the arrow on, unless there is another new opportunity. So basically the arrow will be on, till the next time all indicators line up again.
