Alright, can I Please have the mq4 file of the indicator, and could you make a version which simply draws a line on a certain time of the day on the mt4 platform without any dst or timezone settings, if you could be so kind to do so? I would very much appreciate it.
LOL! I like the hint of sarcasm. Here you go.

ohho, actually I mean no sacarcm, although it can possible be intepreted from the text message.

But yeah, I do mean what I say by please, being so kind and very much appreciate it.

Since I notice there is a much different tone of communication compared to the past, I respond in kind.

Thank you very much for the new version. It really helps!

Hello, first of all, big thanks to "zznbrm".. sharing so much work in this forum, it deserves big respect...
I have one question to the range bar script...
1. different sizes of the bars - i have setted the bars to be 10 pips, however, the bars are different sizes. Have noticed you mentioned it is "your version of range bars", so i suppose it is on purpose. Could you please give few words to the logic of the script.

2. fixed range bars - i am using script and EA with fixed range of the bar, unfortunatelly it makes gaps between the bars. So probably affects indicators, etc, etc...Would it be difficult from coding point of view to make an adjustement the current script?

Again, much respect and thanks for your work "zznbrm"...will be looking forward to your reply...

Since ticks are not saved in MT4, I use the lowest level that is saved: M1. Other Range Bar/Renko generators use M1 to calculate historical bars and then use tick data while generating live bars. I do not agree with this approach. To me it makes more sense to simply use M1 bars for historical and live data. You don't get the perfectly aligned range bars, but I don't want them to be perfectly aligned!!!!

The version of the range bar script posted here simply checks the high and low of the M1 bars, but will not create a new bar until the closure of a M1 bar. Some M1 bars can be rather huge, some M1 bars can have significant differences between the extremes (low/high) and the close. These differences lead to different size range bars. Again, for me, this is exactly what I want.

Well, any range bar script is only as good as the underlying data it uses. So, if the underlying data has gaps, then the resulting range bars will have gaps too. Although, it is possible to replace gaps with extra bars and extended bars. In some of my versions, I do this.

Thanks...zznbrm

Thanks zznbrm, perfect explanation, its clear as sky now with your version of range bars. Actually, interesting idea.
Also have noticed you contribution to other thread with "true tma", great job...very promising...i expected people to cheer more on this, but probably they like their repainting indicators...hehe...
Wish you the best...hope markets treating you well...

PairData2 script - shows the following information for each pair (of the 28 non-exotics) your broker offers:

Pair Name
Spread
True Point (Pip point)
Pip Value (Per Lots)
Commission (Per Lots)
Margin Required (Per Lots)
Long Swap (Per Lots)
Short Swap (Per Lots)
Average Daily Range

I tested on MBTrading, IBFX, and Alpari US. The swaps on some brokers might be off because there are multiple ways brokers define and calculate swap rates. Please let me know if there are errors.

All colors are customizable - see user inputs.

I would assume this will only work for accounts in US dollars. Although, I did not test other account currencies.

See updated script in Post #1

I guess, it doesn't work on InstaForex?! Can you modify it and make it work for that broker as well?

The statistics shown in this script are not correct, like leverage and many spread values are equaled to "0" and its not possible like that

For the leverage, I simply use the value returned by the AccountLeverage() function. I assume you are saying the leverage that is displayed by this script is not the same as what the leverage is for your account. I can only use the information the broker provides via MT4. So, I'm not sure how I can fix this problem for you.

For spread values, make sure you have all symbols in your marketwatch window. I bet the pairs with 0 spreads are not in your marketwatch window.

tazmaan,

In post #1 of this thread I provided a sample tick file for GBPUSD, a history file, and the script I use for backtesting the different variations of the MPAS strategy.

MPAS simulator instructions
------------------------------------------
- Save the tick file "GBPUSD-2010.11.07.dat" to your MT4 "experts/files" folder. The tick file is a binary file, so normal viewing is useless. Tick timestamps have been converted to US ET.

- Save "GBPUSD28.hst" to the appropriate subfolder of your "history" folder.

- Save "DLTesterExt.ex4" to your "experts/scripts" folder.

- Start MT4

- Open the GBPUSD,M28 offline chart.

- Drag DLTesterExt script to the GBPUSD,M28 offline chart

- User Inputs:

estrStrategy : "dl" for Dreamliner, "zam" for zamanib, "crod" for crodzilla
estrFolder : leave this alone
estrSymbol : leave as "GBPUSD"
edtStartDate : leave this alone
edtEndDate : leave this alone
eblnVisualMode : leave this as true for now, it will instruct the simulator to use visual mode
eblnContinuous Mode : leave this alone
edblBarSizePips : leave this alone for now
eintTimeframe : leave this as "28" for now. This will be the offline chart you are going to use

The script will start. It will create a label object at the top of the chart called "SimulatorSleep". Set the description of this label to the number of milliseconds to sleep between ticks. For now, just leave it alone. The default is "0" - the script will use different sleep levels depending on the situation. Set to a value < 0 to pause execution.

You will see the script executing. Trades will be listed in the terminal and will be saved to "experts/files/DLTester-Summary.csv"

We'll get into more complex testing after we get this basic simulation working.

New addition on 5/15/2011:

I've had some requests for offline chart generators. A few months ago I created a universal bar generator for my live system. It allows you to choose from 5 different types of bars and will create up to 3 charts at a time. I've made some adjustments to it for public use. So, I'm attaching this adapted EA...some may find it useful.

It will create up to 3 different offline charts at a time. Available chart types are:
Range Bar Strict - Creates constant range bars, per "common" rules
Range Bar ZZ - Creates range bars...
Thank you zznbrm very much for this great EA you mentioned historical tick data, is there any way to use historical tick data that i have to create grid bars with this EA? or maybe you know some way to create grid bars from historical MT4 data (accuracy isn't very important for me)? i would appreciate your help

hi zznbrm

i would contribute whenever i think i have a gem ...

attaching a visual order editor from luktom, an expert by which you can move SL, BE & TP through horizontal lines as manually changing numbers is a pain & i hope everyone finds value in it

Hello zznbrm,
I have modified the Tma true indicator to allow the user to use high, low, close, open, median, etc adjustments to the display.

It appears to work as intended. Thanks for being willing to share... hopefully, this will be useful for someone.

regards,
spgandau

Hi Folks,

I wonder where can one find good indicators and scripts for MetaTrader, or more precisely, what are the web sites where one can find lots of great scripts arranged in categories, where the site also provide a good search engine to find scripts – search in names of the scripts, in category titles, in the comments or posts… i.e. sites where there are lots of scripts, and there is a great chance the user will find what he is searching for, not just by chance.

So what are your recommendations; what and how to use, where and how to search?
(Just to be clear: I’m not searching for a particular script at the moment. But, for example, if I would search for a script/EA that manages my trades, make position sizing adjustments etc., what steps should I make to find some great stuff from which I could choose?)


Thanks,
Arpad

An alternate version of the Separate Window Heiken Ashi. This version has an option to display the cross price. The cross price is the price where the Heiken Ashi will change color.

In the example below, the arrow (1.34933) designates the price of the current bar that will cause the Heiken Ashi to change from Green (Up) to Red (Down).

@zznbrm - Can you please direct me to the MQ4 widget that uses constant Range Bars (based on "x" pips) instead of the regular time based bars. Your help is much appreciated.
