Trendfinder that compares 28 different currency pairs

  • #1
  • First Post: Nov 20, 2009 7:49am Nov 20, 2009 7:49am
I have just programmed an expert advisor that compares 28 different currency pairs. What do you think? How can I make it better? Is it possible to do it another way so that I don't have to make 56 if commands after each other?

I would like those symbols and numbers to show in a separate window and I would like it to be with large fonts so they are easy to see. Does anyone know how to do that?

hey gambler.... not really sure if that would define a trend.....

//-----
perhaps you could take various indicators and decide on a generalized idea of each's take on the price....


ie,

if the macd is > the signal line, generally the price is moving up....

if rsi is > 50, generally the price is moving up......

and so on and so on.....

//---

we can not demand an absolute direction , just politely ask them for a 'general' direction.....

now if do this on say 15 minute and up timeframes then lay it out in an intelligent manner we might see something.........

let me suggest placing all this in the chart window in columns by timeframe..... black out the price bars so nothing is seen but our "generalized" directions in columns and rows.....

the first chart below might be what you'd be looking at.... to prove/disprove it's worth we could place the zigzag on the chart, still no price bars..... look at each timeframe's column as opposed to the zigzag's direction......

and if you wanted to many pairs, just code the ea to slowly cycle thru them...... no faster than 5 seconds.......

just a thought.....h

Your idea is good, and you've made the first step. In H1Scalper thread I just posted a similar EA which is much more complex, and where I keep working.


One must also take care that there are some tricks for the calculation of the strength of the single currencies in order to get correct values...

Would you do that for a small fee ?

So far my method has worked. What I do is that I open the pair that has the highest and lowest score. If EUR has a score of +7 and USD has a score of -7 then there probably is a trend on that pair. Now I just need the currencies and numbers to show in a separate window.

I have for some time now tried to make an array so I don't have to write the same text 56 times but I don't know how to do it. I have created the following 2 arrays.

string currency1[28] ={"AUD","AUD","AUD","AUD","AUD","CAD","CAD","CHF","EUR","EUR","EUR","EUR","EUR","EUR","EUR","GBP","GBP","GBP","GBP","GBP","GBP","NZD","NZD","NZD","NZD","USD","USD","USD"};

string currency2[28] = {"CAD","CHF","JPY","NZD","USD","CHF","JPY","JPY","AUD","CAD","CHF","GBP","JPY","NZD","USD","AUD","CHF","CAD","JPY","NZD","USD","CAD","CHF","JPY","USD","CAD","CHF","JPY"};

In the following code I would like "AUDCAD" to be currency1currency2 but I don't know how to do it. I don't know how to call the 2 arrays that I have created. Does anyone know how to do it?

if ( iClose("AUDCAD",0,1) > iClose("AUDCAD",0,candle1) && iClose("AUDCAD",0,1) > iClose("AUDCAD",0,candle2)
&& iClose("AUDCAD",0,1) > iClose("AUDCAD",0,candle3) )
{
AUD++;
CAD--;
}

Does anyone know how to create labels in a separate window. I would like the symbols of the 8 currencies to show in a separate window and next to the symbol I would like the value of that currency to show. I would like the text to be with big fonts so it is easy to see. If anyone will help me with this it will be greatly appreciated.

Have to specify the window on the object create. At the top, you say separate_window instead of chart_window.

In...
Look in that heat map indicator posted above. There are arrays in there.

hey gambler.....there are several ways to achieve your goal, each way has it's pros and cons..... just in case your thinking on expansion, i coded it in a very flexible manner.....

when your focusing on repetitive coding, try to think in terms of functions.... you can see i've written the function Show().... all needed variables can be included.....

then in the start() repeatedly use the function and cycle thru the variables..... in your case, only the symbols and the x/y cordinates....

in the picture you can see an example of this function expanded, in the pallada dashboard .... i've coded it to show current signals of the pallada ea on all pairs and timeframes..... this is picture example only, indicator is private......

use the Show() function, or similar, as a building blocks .....

//----

and hope all yall have a good thanksgiving.......h

thanks for the help but I think you misunderstood me. It is not the value for the different currency pairs I would like to show. In the EA in the first post 7 currency pairs with the USD in it is checked. If the USD is strong against the other currency then it gets a point. If it's weak 1 point is substracted. When the USD has been checked against the other 7 currencies it has a value between -7 and +7. What I would like the indicator to show is "USD = (the value of USD)". And then the same for the other 7 currencies. Maybe I can program that myself by editing your code. I will try to do it when I get home from school. Again thanks for the help. It is much appreciated.
