Should be easy programming fix.

Hi there I just wanted to know ,
I am using an indicator that returns a % e.g 70%
and this does not seem to work when I say if indicator
says 70% then open trade ,
but I know it will work if I remove the % sign ...
but how can this be done ?

Thanks Alot !

I am puzzled by what you said. % is never part of an indicator value just the display. Send a few lines of pertinent code and I might figure it out.

Its a custom Indicator that I don't have the coding for unfortunately , check out my attachment then you might know what I mean , Its a Probability meter... The percentage that I want to return as a value is the 82% or whatever the case value...

Thanks CodeMeister you've helped me a lot on this site...[IMG]file:///C:/Users/Xlr8er/AppData/Local/Temp/moz-screenshot.png[/IMG]

OK, now I understand. It would be easy with the source code.

I can't tell if the Probability display is an object or comment. It looks to be an object because it has the fancy font and size. You can verify this by looking at the Objects list on the chart (right click). It will probably have a meaningful name like Probability. If so, you can obtain the value with ObjectGet(). If it is not an object, then its a comment and there is no way accessing the value.

hey xlr8er....... you can pull that number off the chart and use it in an ea.... it's kinda a pain to do but for sure it's doable.........

the best route would be to code something new that parallels your own beliefs.....

think of all the possible definitions of bullish, such as rsi > 50....
think of all the possible definitions of bearish, such as 10 ma < 20 ma.....

test the pair for those conditions on multiple timeframes....
total everything and ratio it out...... you'll end up with a "probalility"..... or at least a figure.....h

//--- adding
just noticed codemiesters post, the object he is refering to is 'prop_value"

Thanks a lot for the help guys , I managed to get the return on the indicator.... BUT its returned as a percentage... this is what is returned:

82%....

Now my problem is...

My EA works on the basis that an order will only be executed once that percentage is higher than a certain value....

if (Value_Of_Probability_Meter > 50)
OrderSend(Symbol(), OP_SELL,1,Bid,25,0,0,0,0,0,Red);

just for example.... Now, the 50 is the value at what I want the order to be put is... But if the Value_Of_Probability is e.g 82%... then it wont work ,


So any ideas how I can change this returned 82% value to lets say just 82 (No % sign at the end)...


Hope you guys get my pathetic explanation skills!

thanks !

oh Ja and hayseed it is prop_value you are correct.

Hi, All

Please could someone help me add an audio, and ideally visual too, alarm to the attached indicator? I would like to have an alarm when the two MAs cross (9 SMA + 45 LWMA). For the visual part, if a small arrow can be shown in the indicator window just above/below the cross, it would be nice too.

Thanks in advance.

Thanks hayseed that looks promising !...

I'll give it a try !...
