What charting software are you using, or planning to use? I use MetaTrader 4 (MT4), and the chart fragment you've posted does not look like MT4 to me.

I don't believe that it's possible to get the blue and red 'shading' in your image, using MT4. MT4 can plot simple objects like lines, histograms, boxes, triangles, and ellipses, but it doesn't have the ability to fill irregular polygons, at least as far as I know.

It might be possible to implement something like this by overlaying histogram bars on top of each other in the same indicator window: 3 or 4 buffers would be needed:

 

  1. one that plots red bars pointing from the zero line upwards, containing only positive values or zero otherwise
  2. one that plots blue bars downwards, this buffer would contain only the negative values or zero otherwise
  3. a third buffer on top of the other two that plots white bars (background color) from the zero line up or down but only until the horizontal levels.
  4. And then maybe a fourth buffer on top of that all that plots the solid line and that can be conveniently read with iCustom() because this buffer would then contain all values (positive and negative) in the same buffer.

Edit: in this particular example the zero line would actually be the 50 line and the order of how the colored buffers lie over each other must be a bit different because all lines would be starting at the bottom and pointing upwards. There would be two white buffers needed, one that hides the bars between the bottom and the lower part of the blue bars and one that hides the lower part of the red bars. so for the colors alone 4 buffers would be needed: layered from bottom to top (Z-order): red, white, blue, white an a solid line on top of that all. Not trivial but also not impossible.

Hi Mr H,
I know nothing about the subject but have to ask "What about Ichimoto clouds"

If nothing else it will educate me,

Kolin,

There's a (factory supplied) Ichimoku indy in MT4. It seems to draw the cloud shading as a series of dotted vertical lines (unlike the shading in Maforexcity's attachment). Anyway, all of this is internal to MT4. If you have the MQ4 file of a custom indy that draws an Ichimoku cloud, then we could examine the source code and see how it's done. I assume that it would be along the lines that 7bit has described.

I do have an Ichimoku.mq4 but it draws the cloud as a series of verticle lines.

As ever I bow to your greater knowledge. My apologies.

The cloud that I saw which caused me to make my comment was on a video. Maybe it looks different so far removed.

Kolin.

Hi,

Check this thread & seem this tip was not posted before.

So if you want to get the fib levels show the price live with 38.2% . All you have to do in description is add %$ as this will show price.

You can watch this on youtube:

Also check my screen shots.

Is there a way to change the pair on a chart without having to use File>New Chart>Select a chart? If I have a template up on the monitor, and want to view a different forex pair I have to create a whole new chart. In Tradestation, for example, you can just type in the six letters of the pair and the chart is changed to that pair. Very easy!!!! Thanks.

Yep drag in new pair. But can also double click on the lower left of the chart, on the date/time area & type in the pair you want to see.
Space bar also activates the area. Pair can be entered with or without ,M15 etc.

Drag & drop is far easier thou & chart keeps its current timeframe.

I don't believe that this is possible, short of changing your screen resolution.

Hi, since you have vista, check in your VirtualStore folder.
Mine is under my desktop in a folders list showing as
myownnamehere/AppData/Local/VirtualStore/Programe Files/Interbank FX Trader 4/logs
& cause my borker is Interbank.

May have to select show hidden folders to get AppData to show.

When you find it, save a shortcut to your desktop at about the Interbank FX folder level - can be useful when editing ea's etc.
