Steve,
i had another "true" mq4 version of Dollar Index with me, probably from Scoobs BOJ thread long time ago (not sure though... doesn't matter anyway!)
I have attached it here for you.
The overall idea is the same, the index calc is the same, mine only has 2 additional SMAs on top of the Index line, so you can ignore it.
"My" code however can be taken out into the EA much more easily
Here is what you really need:
-- you might want to take care of the pairnames "exotic extensions" (like "EURUSDm")
[code]
// "i" is the bar shift...
Are you up for a challenge? Do you fancy amalgamating the two into an uber-indi whose code we can import into the EA?
Cheers

Cheers whip. The calculation multiplier needed an extra 0.

Works like a charm.....

I just noticed we appear to be into one of those bound/unbound thingies again, like we had with Bob's RWB.

I just need to understand how to merge these indexes into one.
What should i do with those 2 indexes ?
Otherwise, FYI, here Brian's Index heart, as far as i could understand it from the indi code :
Inserted Code
double GetBrianIndex(int timeframe, int shift)
{
static double weeklyClosePrice=0; // CAUTION: this requires to have called GetBrianIndex() at the beginning of each week!!!
int thisbar = iBarShift(NULL, timeframe, Time[shift], TRUE);
if ((TimeDayOfWeek(iTime(NULL, timeframe, thisbar)) == 1 && TimeDayOfWeek(iTime(NULL, timeframe, thisbar + 1)) == 5)
|| (TimeDayOfWeek(iTime(NULL, timeframe, thisbar)) == 0 && TimeDayOfWeek(iTime(NULL, timeframe, thisbar + 1)) == 5)) weeklyClosePrice = iClose(Symbol(), timeframe, thisbar + 1);
return ((iClose(Symbol(), timeframe, shift) - weeklyClosePrice) / MarketInfo(Symbol(), MODE_POINT));
} It seems to be just the number of Points between the current close price and last week's closing price.

If you plot the DollarIndex and BrianIndex in the same subwindow, on the EURUSD chart, they look almost mirror one to the other.
This is somewhat expected, as EURUSD's weight in the DollarIndex is very high.
However, when you have it on M15 for instance, and zoom in or out, you can clearly see that the "crossing points" are completely different...
So we need to know exactly how Brijon uses that on his charts.
A typical screenshot along with the settings would be much appreciated.
The same indexes, chart and TF, just a different chart zoom:
It will be hard to tell how to find the "correct crossing"....!

From Page 1:
" THE CROSSING OF BRIANS INDEX WITH THE DOLLAR INDEX "
Now what the hell does that mean ?...

SURE!

[code]double GetBrianIndex(int timeframe, int shift)
{...
My guess is that we get different views at different zooms because the two indis work on completely different numeric values, and that Brian probably uses the visual thingy al la Bob.
Brian lives in upside-down land and so should be firmly zzzzzing right now. No doubt he will provide elucidation later on.
