That's perfect! Just monthly and weekly hi/lo and it will be just what I wanted. Many thanks!
well displaying for monthly and weekly is a bit tricky, for it needs to be displayed on the exact candle

will take some time to figure it out how

as a line its easy, as text on exact candle ............ well .............

Hi, Please could someone assist with this question from a newbee?
When calculating the monthly pivot, Do you calculate it on the previous month (ie July), or the month that we are currently busy in? (High/Low and Close to date?) and adjust it daily?

Thanks in advance.

Lion, were still in the range right?

also we need to see a close below 496 to consider a new downtrend.

Is it possible to work it out as week1, week2... week52.

So that week1 would be Sun Dec 26th 2009 - Sat 2nd Jan 2010, week2: Sun 3rd Jan 2010 - Sat 9th Jan 2010... week 52: Sun 19th Dec 2010 - Sat 25th Dec 2010.

So TimeDayOfWeek would start on Sunday, which is when the market opens in London (10pm GMT)

Let me know if this is possible. What do you think is best?

Cheers!

A few short more hours folks. I'm gonna short e/u, g/u like crazy this week. As it drops I'm gonna pile in with orders on top of orders. Move SL to BE and just keep stacking.

I plan to double or triple my account by the time this bearish moves finishes. Unless it doesn't happen. Then I just move on.

You could identify the last Sunday of the previous year and that could be used as the start of the 1st week of the new year.
so if you use 31-DEC-2009 and check what that day was if it was a saturday then no need to go back.. you know that 1st will be a sunday.
Else you start going back till you get a sunday and thats the start of the week no 1 for the new year.

assuming they drop that is, price is still in range but it does look like its ready to break out

I try to never assume anything. It could go up this week. Then I just have to watch and wait.

since 4 hour 200 ema was broken

it needs to be seen how high she can go before being taken

1 hour 200 ema is the top

It went through 200ema on the way up like a hot knife through butter so I don't think it offers much in the way of s/r.

When drawing a trendline on mt4 in a higher time frame do you readjust it on a lower time frame or leave it be?

Went through but never closed below on any one candle.
Much the same as it hasn't closed above the 200EMA on the same H4 chart.

Red line is the 200EMA for the hourly
Yellow Line is the 200EMA on the H4.

No closed candle...No true direction.

We are still trapped in between a narrowing wedge of support and resistance. Until we break out of here, I wouldn't be placing any bets on neither the bulls nor the bears in this battle just yet.

My 2 cents.

I guess it depends what time frame you trade in. I'm more interested in what the daily looks like. It has a lot to do with what sort of news comes out this week too so nothing is certain. The charts are telling me that it wants to go down. So unless some major news comes out to the contrary my guess is it will. The only question is when.

pretty simple 1.5500 major support on daily , fridays us markets did not have enough power to break down 1066 on es , liekly due to options expiry and puts being exercised. also no really major news.

1.5500 seems to being protected for now ... but this week I see alot of signals for major downward movement in us markets , eu , usdcad up , ING ( stock down , dxd up

all of these line up ... just a little to odd that wave 3 is showing itself forming in so many cross markets ....

targeting 1.2200 and lower for eu over next 2 weeks. 1.2800 is my line in the sane , this is broken to upside then my sentiment may change

I like you comment on the wegde , till this is broken either way then neither bulls nor bears have won the battle , however if these wave 3 i see forming in all markets play out then gu 1.5000 may play out

2) broken daily channel , although no real major selling pressure yet
3) lower highs on daily since aug 10th

Exactly what I was looking for! If one can change the colour of the text for the highs to green and the lows to red that would be cool or make it configurable in the inputs section of the indie.

If you can also add the text to say which year it is (i.e. 2009).

Then just the month and week hi/lo and I will be a very happy bunny!

Already seems to work on all timeframes as I checked h1, h4,d1,w and m and the text appears on all of these timeframes!

Here is a mock up for the week and month highs if you didn't catch it earlier, with the additional...
kindly find the solution as requested

 

  1. yearly
  2. monthly
  3. weekly

all options are changeable

now i can sleep for the night, friggin gave me a freak to complete the work anyhow

source code included as mq4 file, its all yours
