More tools...

thank you, Aad
but only .ex4 files, not (source) code itself?

Sorry about that, I've explain why before on another thread, I'll post it here too.

I do not have any plans to release my mq4 files, these tools are to remain 100% free. By keeping them as ex4 files it is less likely that some dubious person will claim they have improved/created a tool, and then sell it on site’s like eBay. As that has happen before with various codes...

Some more tools along with the "BarClock v3 (AAD Mods)" indicator that works with 5-6 digit brokers (I forgot to post that update within this thread).

The "eFibRatio v3 (AAD Mods) [EA]" is just a beta tool to possibly stack onto your successful trades. It will open an order at a certain pip profit amount and uses Fib Ratios for lot sizing. It can be used for testing as I have modified it from it's original code, please feel free to test it in a demo account. I do not recommend using this EA for actual trading, unless you have a strategy and have modified the EA to fit your needs. You can find the original "Elite eFibo Trader v2.1" here...

Here's a mod based on Cja's Signal Bars & Daily Data indicators (so it's an all in one indicator). It also adds some extra features including BarClock & BarTrend, it works with 5-6 digit brokers and can also be displayed inside of an indicator window. It practically does everything that the current Signal Bars & Daily Data indicators do, see the gif picture for most of the display possibilities.

BarTrend will simply show the current bar color/trend on the specified time frame.

I have also updated the code of my "BuySellCloseModify + BasketTrades [Script]" and it can now automatically switch between 5-6 digit brokers, it also adds the ability to Iceberg orders on the fly. But do to my lack of time I don't know when I will post it as the new 5-6 digit version still has issues with the modify function for open/pending orders. For now those interested in the Iceberg function can simply use the "IcebergOrders [Script]" tool.

I hope these mods/tools are useful for some folks... :nerd:

Hello AAD,
Impressive job, best bar clock indicator ever. Could you add option, to switch off info in top left corner? I would prefer to see it only at a bar.
Thanks a lot and best regards,
Jay

I added the option to only display the time near the bars, I also changed the name to BarClock v4 (AAD Mods). You may need to change your chart's time frame in order for this option to take effect...

Hi AAD, impressive job. Thanks a lot. Appreciate your time and effort. May pips be with you mate!
Cheers
Jay

Been searching for this, thanks a lot.

Now that's catchy!

"May the pips be with you"

eFibRatio seems like a great tool,
but I can never get it to initiate a trade...
am I missing something?
Or do I have to enter the first trade?
Tried that too, and still no entry.
Had same problem with eFibo and various modifications of it.

Thanks,
John

I know this is a very late reply! But perhaps it won't trade do to the various changes that many broker's have made, which may have rendered certain EA's not fully functional (I have not checked that EA). I have no future plans to update/modify the eFibRatio code, mostly due to lack of time and trying to keep up with whatever changes the broker's may come up with next. Sorry...

Hi aad,

Much appreciated for all this important tools. Please let me know where to get tutorial PDF for Signal Bars (AAD Mods).ex4 indicator.

Again many thanks for sharing: May the forex gods shine upon you .

Happy Piping
Benji

I apologize for the late reply, the Signal Bars (AAD Mods) is an all in one modified/improved version from the original Signal Bars v9 & Daily Data v2 indicators created by CJA, BarClock created by AAD (originally B-Clock created by Nick Bilak), and the BarTrend indicator created by TRO. Please go to the Signal Bars v9 & Daily Data v2 threads for more info, but for the most part the User Settings should already be self-explanatory.

- Signal Bars uses MA's, MACD, RSI, and CCI signals for possible trends within the specified time frame. Please research MA crossings (EMA), MACD, and Stochastic Oscillator/RSI/CCI (STR) to understand how those indicators can be used. As such tools are very general to trading and info can be found just about everywhere on them.

- BarTrend simply gives you the current UP or Down bar trend within the specified time frame.

- Daily Data gives you the:
Brokers current Spread price.
Pips moved away from the current days open (Pips to Open).
The highest to lowest total pip range/move for the current day (High to Low).
The daily average pip movement (Daily Avg).

- BarClock gives the remaining time for the current bar to close within the specified time frame.

By the way, I only use the Daily Data info but keep the BarTrend mostly for looks. LOL! I don't use MA's, MACD, RSI, or CCI for trading, I mostly only trade using S/R, ShiChannel, and VSA...

Aad,

Much appreciated

benji,

Hi Aad,
Would you kindly modify V4 in the same format of V2 < xx:xx (x.x) without the "<< >>" and the "Sp:"
and to be aligned with the price bid line.

Thanks in advance.

Updated: 05/01/2012 - I only changed the display a la BarClock v2 style, and changed the name to BarClock v4a (AAD Mods).

I didn't have time to really tinker with it so no further changes were made other than what I posted above...

Thanks a lot Aad

Thanks for your signal bars modifications. Is it possible if you can add the broker time to the daily data shown by the indicator? Also the original executive version of this indicator has some additional info in the Daily Data section such as:

DN 72% UP 28%

But there is no explanation of what that means. Do you know what that means? If you think it is useful then can you please add that too if possible?

Thanks and I'm hoping to hear from you soon.

Regards,
Peter

Hi Peter,

It's interesting that you posted about the Signal Bars indicator, I've been updating it recently and was getting ready to post it in a few days (I have some updates for other things also) and just noticed your post. LOL!

The executive version of the Daily Data indicator I would assume is a pay indicator by CJA, so I've never looked at it or know much about it. The DN 72%/UP 28% perhaps means the averaged percent that a currency pair has moved/trended in a certain direction for a certain amount of time.

Adding broker time to the Daily Data part of the indicator sounds maybe doable, if you can provide me with an indicator that already has that it will help me with the coding (I'm no expert coder). Though I can make no promises as to if and when I can add that to the indicator do mainly to time constrains. But I can try to add it to a later code update if I can get a code example...
