Is it hard to change the EA code to use coloured rectangles instead of coloured lines? Is this is possible, then the EA would have automatic S/R recognition.

Nope. I have put the indi on a chart and the rectangles can be accessed in exactly the same way as horizontal lines. My indi has umpteen rectangles on it; yours has few. Would you post your set file for this indi?
Cheers
Attached is set file for the indi to show 28 day S/R bands all in the same colour. It goes into directory ..... > experts > files and is called from the indi by putting 001 as shown.
Change the name of the attached set file to ' Presets---Recent SR.001 ' by removing the .txt on the end - needed to add this otherwise website will reject it as an unknown file type.
Best of luck

That's great macman. I have a clearer picture and will play with all this.

Just for anyone else viewing, the idea here is that the SR indi is scriptable, so for instance it would be possible to customise the length of time & 'strength' of SR you wanted to use & the EA would automatically use the levels. It would also be possible to use different SR scripts for different currency pairs etc.

Cheers macman - great contribution.
I intend incorporating calls to the SR indi in addition to the horizontal line sr already in the robot. Confirmed sr spotters are going to want to keep the flexibility of being able to add their own sr points.
In the meantime, folks, try this out and see how useful you find the new function. The extra time spent learning about the SR indi will be time worth spending.
Thanks again, macman.

Managed to change Steve's code and get Ash to work with the scriptable Recent SR indi. The EA now automatically recognises the lines created by the indi.
It is essential to read and understand about this indi here http://www.forexfactory.com/showthread.php?t=204276 before going much further.
At the same time added the code to use the OrderReliable_V1_1_0.mqh include file. This helps with sending & modifying orders when your broker is playing silly b's
To use this new version of the EA you need to add the Recent SR indi into your >indicators...
at first thank you for sharing your stuff!
Some questions: Do you use default settings for your testing? Can you recommend some special pairs so far? Thank you!
Best regards!

'tis ok, Ludo. The alert is talking about the candle length, not the length of the wick. These are two separate issues.
If the candle is too long, the trade does not happen. Confusing candle length with candle wick length is easy; they are separate issues.
Users of this robot and this system need to be aware of this: the chances of a trade actually making it through the filter process are remote. Trades will be few and far between.
All is explained in the user guide and in the thread the link within it leads to; this is Ash's own thread and is ignored at your peril. I wrote the guide with more than my customary care. Even so, it is easy to mis-understand, so take things slowly and read all the available information with care, especially if English is not your first language. Take nothing for granted, but re-read and double check. Everything you need to know is available if you take the time to access it.
