Hail the reader and bless the executioner.

I bought an expensive program to learn MQL4 coding - but honestly I am battling - will some kind soul please help?
I hope that there is one of our more modern friends who grew up with a computer, who will do me a small bit of coding? Make me an indicator?

I have traded live and made a good living for many years - I am able to return the favour in many ways - financially by providing the coder with a top class stystem in exchange for his knowledge.

For a long trade
It is like this... if the stochastic comes from below the OS level set to say 20 or 30 or .... and it crosses 45 or 50 or 60 or whatever level next, on the way up it must give a signal - audible and provide a dialogue box on screen identifying the pair it has alerted - the levels must be able to be set by the trader in the input box.

For a Short trade
The same, but it must alert when the oscillator comes from above the OB line at say 70 or 80 and has turned down to touch the 50 or 40 line these lines must also be otional settings for the trader.

I am grateful to the potential good heart

Thank you and God bless you

Here you go, tried to make this the way you asked for it, set your OB/OS levels, see what you think and if you have any other suggestions or further modifications just let me know.

thank you very much = I am going to try it and I will let you know - when my EA is complete I will send it to you - Manually it is a winner, but I
I am struggling to put it all together.

Thank you again.
Godd Bless you for your help.

Hello Scott,
Maybe my explanation was not good. The Stoch must identify a move out of the OB OS area, and then when it comes out of there it must give me a signal when it hits the 50 level - it must not give a signal when it hits the OS or OB area barrier/levels. Only when it has come out of there and hits the 50 must it signal.

At this time it seems to give me signals about anywhere, but it looks like signalling specially when close to the ob os levels, but not on them. At signal time, the distance of the oscillator from the various levels varies greatly.
Is it possible to include an arrow say red for short and maybe green for long?

Thank you again

Hey SnrTrader, no problem, I will see what I can do for you. I will try to have something for you tomorrow and I should be able to have it the way you want it.

Thank you again - Would you do another for me to work with this one?
Follows: - A volume indicator that carries a horizontal line which is calculated as a percentage of the number just outside the right hand top corner of the volume indicator window? The trader will set this depending on how agressive he trades.


Do you code for a living? I have a big concept I need coded can you do that and give me a quotation if I explain? Perhaps we must skype or email or whatever if we use the forum it will be many ups and downs, and also , not until it works would i like it to be in the public domain.
thank you

Hope this is what you are looking for. Had to mess with settings and code so it doesn't give too many false signals. Set the OB/OS levels as well as where you want it to cross before it shoots out a signal. The settings that it is set at seem to be the best from what I can tell so far but you can let me know.

It has an audio and window alert, you also have an email or text message alert if you choose to use them.

Tell me what you think.

Just let me know what you want done? For the volume indy, could you give a pic and better explanation about what you would like done.

I thank you truly for all your help it is truly nice to see a concept working after it has been coded - I still want to get there.

The volume bit. I could best show you this by letting you have a pic of the chart where it is applied. I am a forum jnr - am i allowed to send such a pic attachment? If not please let me have your email.
I would like to have the volume window show a horizontal across the window. The level of this horizontal is based on a percetage of the figure that is shown on the right top of the volume window just below the prices of the platform. This figure changes as the day progresses, but sometimes remains the same for as long as 2 days. Thats fine.

The combined result
I shall add the combined signal to my chart. The combined signal will be created when the volume bar touches or is above the horizontal bar at the time that the Stoch you coded for me gives a signal.

With the volume bar remaining below the horizontal it will discourage trading as at that time it can be seen from the charts that the market is ranging in a consolidatory phase.
Thus between the two signals- made into one signal it will help to identify good entry.
I hope this is clear enough for you to understand.

Thank you again,
I pray God bless you richly for your help.
Snr

Well, since you set this out for everyone to see, you don't mind if I have a look do you?

So, is it pretty much set up to operate out of the box so to speak? Or, is there anything else I need to know?

Thanks!

No I dont mind at all - unfortunately on its own it is not of much value - you would need the rest of the coding of the Ea to make it worth while.
It is but a portion of a system which works very very well - but at this time I am making a few adjustments with the help of Scott to improve the otherwise hours of chart watching - I'll tell more later.
Send me your email and I'll put you on my list.
Happy pippin
