If you hover the cursor vertical line over the bar, the OHLC values are shown on the tab bar below the chart.

Hi Nash,

I will change coding for text size and corner ... just need some time ..

AND .. I have a very simple autotrader that can enter on candle breaks.

IT IS INVISSIBLE to brokers ... and Take Profit and Stop Loss also invisible .. tp and sl applies to all trades on the pair u run it on ... so if you set tp at $50 ... then it will close all trades when total profit is $50 on all trades ... so tp is not per trade ... and is in Dollars .. not pips ...

I am not a high level programmer - but do ea's that works for me ..

You can select Buy or Sell or Both with paramaters ... and use time frame you play it on ..

So if you want to play daily candle then run it D1 chart ...

I use it when you get those hectic breakouts ... say upward ... then I run to sell bellow low of previous candle .. and u can set trading hours ..

It will sell once per candle only ... sell below lows and buy above highs ..

I optomised this ea ... ang got best paramaters to use was all hours of day .. so 0 to 24 ... with tp of 190 and sl 110 .... this gave a 98% win rate for month of April 2010 ...

I have attached it hereto - enjoy - like I do ...

Regards

Hi ECFOREX,

Thx for the EA .....I have little experince with autotrading.... I hear what you are saying in reference to the break of the Daily candle. for me I was planning to explore scripts .........to enter and set my stop loss in relation to the previous bar........

Given the number of indicators available here in the community.....I appreciate the simplicity of your HI LOW Indicator .....

with my trading, I take notice when the previous high and low are broken....

thanks again,

Nash

Dear All,

I require the following indicators and wondering if anyone has a similar to these indicators:

1. An indicator which finds the most recent swing high or low. If your indicator also gives signals when there are lots of candle jumbled together then I don't need that indicator, the indicator should be able to find major swing high or lows (which are visible with eyes).

2. Identifies Engulfing and Railway Track/Tweezers formations

3. A) Support & Resistance Indicator - a very good one, only draws critical S&R levels

3. B) or, an EA whereby you can manually input S&R levels, either by drawing or inputting through external variable.

Thanks for your help! I plan to integrate the above into an EA soon.. http://www.forex-tsd.com/images/smilies/smile.gif

hi

i am interested in your EA. I havent used it yet. I was wondering what timeframe do you use on with tp=190 and sl=110. Is the EA still performing well for you since your post.

The indicator and ea you have given is useful. But for consolidation market it keeps on changing the positions resulting in major and continuous losses. So can you just improve the ea with highs and lows of line chart instead of candlesticks highs and lows. I think that will avoid unnecessary losses as well.
Thanks.

//----
if((Time[0]!=curTime))
{ //if newbar
curTime=Time[0];
Comment("Hi-Lo-Previous-Bar-Indi",
"\n Previous High:",High[1],
"\n Previous Low:",Low[1]);
} //endif new bar
//----

to

//----
if((Time[0]!=curTime))
{ //if newbar
curTime=Time[0];
Comment("Hi-Lo-Previous-Bar-Indi",
"\n Previous High:",High[1],
"\n Previous Open:", Open[1],
"\n Previous Low:",Low[1]);
