Your this indicator is very very good !

I am extremely grateful if you can share .mq4 file, because i want default settings as :
- Timeframes : M1, M5, M15, M30, H1, H4, D1
- Numcandles : 3
- SpacingbetweenCandles : 2
- DisplayccyName : false
or can you edit and share it for me, please !
Thank you very much !

Download the attached file into your ....../experts/files folder. The parameters in the file will override those entered in the MT4 dialog window. If you want to change the parameters, use Notepad to edit the file. See the instructions in post #1 for more infomation.

Sorry, the source code is not available.

This is a phenomenal tool for price action display. Is there any way to keep the candle SIZE at 3 (the default is 5) so when changing time frames, the candle does not revert to size/width of 5. It is not an option on the presets. I know it is kind of whiny, but I find I am not checking larger time frames as often as I should because I do not want to alter the recent candle display.

Thanks for the great tools Hanover!

Candle Width can now be set as a parameter. (I hope that I understood you correctly).

More info, and download files - see post #1.

Hanover;

Works exactly as I needed. I had to set it up as a saved template to hold the parameters on a new chart (it reverts to defaults when put it on a new chart as an indicator). I edited the text preset file, and placed it in first the "file" file and then the"preset" file of experts, but the parameters do not obey the preset text file. I am probably doing it wrong. But no matter for me as the saved template works absolutely fine for me.

Again thanks so much for a priceless and convenient tool!

Hello!

I like this indicator too, very much. Just... it does not refresh automaticaly, it only refreshes when I switch TimeFrames, which is offten.
I am using Vista Bussines. Tried with fresh MT4 installation etc... no luck, just doesn't refresh automaticaly.

Keep the spirit,

Thank you Hanover,

Have fun,

Simon

Simon,

Refreshes automatically (on each new tick of the chart to which it's attached) if I set RefreshEveryXMins = 0

At least, it does for me --- I'm running Win XP Home SP2

Hi, Hanover.

Thank you for reply.
I am afraid that refreshing on every tick would seriously overloaded my computer, since I have 3 MT4's and 12 pairs on each. Quite a lot of superb RecentCandles indicators.

Will try on 1 MT4.

Thank you,

Have fun,

Simon

This is a cool indicator, It would be even cooler if it would show recent candle patterns from different TFs in the same way and instead of how it shows all the recent candles now... I tryed but im pretty much useless when it comes to programming.

Perhaps theres no reason to show them graphicly but just list them by TF and what time they accured in a nice orderly manner... Nothing more annoying than an indicator that makes the charts look messy.

well, anyways... cheers and gj

I'm not sure what you mean by "it would show recent candle patterns from different TFs in the same way" (isn't that what it does already?) or how you would list a candle without showing it graphically.

Anyway, no matter, I'm too busy to take on more programming work at the moment.

Ok, well hopefully someone else could do it, i for one is useless at programming.

Yes it shows candlesticks, all of them (well as many as i set it to show) but most of the candles are not very interesting really... I would like to see the patterns that form at resistance and support areas Doji, hanging man, shooting stars and the more complex ones three black crows, spinning tops and so on.

An alarm on those and maybe an automatic trade would be interesting to test as well. Wouldnt work well unless it followed the trend though.

Hi Hanover,

I know it's been a while that you've looked at this thread, but, would it be possible to make this indicator accept another indicator? So, Heikin Ashi or evan an MA could be dropped on it and display it on every time frame? Is this possible?

Regards, Juicyt
Juicyt, no sorry, it's not possible to plot other indys like MAs. The indicator uses all 8 buffers allowable in MT4 just to plot the candles. However, it would be possible to plot Heikin Ashi instead of conventional candles, i.e. they simply have different O, H, L and C values.

If you especially want to see Heikin Ashi candles, then I'll make the enhancement in a later release, when I get some time. Let me know.

Best wishes,
David

That is what I was hoping to do with it, put Heikin on top. If you could, it would be very much appreciated and I'll get you a look at something not released yet so you can see what I'm thinking.

Thanks Hanover

........put Heikin on top.......
Juicyt,

If by "on top" you mean can I superimpose both HA and conventional candles over each other in the same window, the answer is no, as the indy already uses all 8 available buffers. However, I could include an option to plot HA candles instead of conventional candles.

In which case there would be nothing to stop you from having conventional candles in one window, and then (by applying a second instance of the indy) having the HA candles in a separate window that's either directly above or below them.

Hope this makes sense. There's a reasonable amount of programming work involved, so please confirm that the above solution would be satisfactory to you, and I'll do it when I get some time.
