NEW INDICATOR VERSIONS ----------------------------------------------------------------------------

NOTE: For all supported indicators I included a help file.
If you post the indicator somewhere or mail it to a friend: please include also the info file so that they may benefit from it too.
THANKS - MJ


NOT AT ALL TESTED: so expect stuff not to work
Also: the current doc is in some instances not correct - probably even some pics are missing but a great deal should be ok.



What does it contain:

* 168 individual indicators: (4 zip part plus 1 zip docu): UPLOAD: 20111103
BUT many of them overlap a lot
(Note all are tested: there might be still a number of errors - some are tested.
The docu is generated semi-automated so there might be a number of errors - but hey - better than nothing


* PLUS: (UNSUPORTED_MAYBEUSEFUL__Indicators.zip some old maybe useful indies)


UPDATE: 201111028

BTW: you can see this structure also in the docu if you click on: Directories ( I copied it from there

SMA: MTF and normal based on Bar Opening Time Values

for related info see: This thread First post.




See pic with MTF M5 on a 1 minutes chart: with a 4 min hole in the chart. for related info see: http://articles.mql4.com/136


BTW: Blue indi is just a additional test stuff I used not the indicator attached.

While programming and testing around I noticed that sometimes the data of MT4 gets corrupted.

In such case I found it is best to delete under: the folder: /history the .hst files and load the charts anew.

EMA: MTF and normal based on Bar Opening Time Values

for related info see: This thread First post.

Info to the upcoming Stochastic based on Open Bar Value:

All of the stoch are (14,1,1)

Just to show the slight difference:

The last one (Blue) is the standard MT4 stochastic.
The second one (Red) is a standard MT4 stochastic with display SHIFT 1

The first (LightSlateGray) is the MJStoch based on oen Bar Values

The third (LightSlateGray overlayed by Red) is the "MJStoch based on oen Bar Values" OVERLAYED with "standard MT4 stochastic with display SHIFT 1"

Maybe at about 15:31 one can see a slight difference.

STOCHASTIC: MTF and normal based on Bar Opening Time Values
for related info see: This thread First post.

I did a new Multi Stochastic (using the max of possible lines: 8)

As it is weekend I did not yet test it in live market conditions.



This is useful for instance for something like the Spud's Stochastic Rope: where one will use many Stoch in one sub-window overlayed.

Using the MJMultiSTO_ChartInterval: has some advantages compared in using many single MJSTO and overlay them.

1. It's one indi for 8 lines so nicer and compacter
2. it's also more calculation and resource friendly

Below I attach all indies needed for a Rope and the templates:

Note: as I like to keep it symmetric I use the same numbers of Lower Rope (Blue) as Higher Rope (Red)
In the original Rope thread: http://www.forexfactory.com/showthread.php?t=37111
Spud used two additional Higher Sto with KPeriod 23 and 24 which I skip to keep it symmetric

For the: 14,3 I add an additional single sto - so you need also the MJSTO_ChartInterval_v.100.01.ex4

Template:
MJStoRope.tpl:
MJStoRope_weekend.tpl (bStartDelay = false: only needed at inactive times to check past data - not indeended for live action)


Note all of them are based on Open Bar Values which is a slight deviation from the standard stochastic calculation.

NEW: Multi MA

Up to 8 Ma (SMA or EMA selectable) based on Open Bar Value

Using the MJMultiMA_ChartInterval: has some advantages compared in using many single MJSMA or MJEMA and overlay them.

1. It's one indi for 8 lines so nicer and compacter
2. it's also more calculation and resource friendly



To get not stuck in the 20 sec Start Delay you must set the: bStartDelay = false.

but this is not generally recommended for life trading.


Pic shows usage of 5 MA's (two EMA and 3 SMA)

Found a couple of things which will still need some code change.

NEW and Updated indi package:

Download from the First post: MJ_Indies_20110706__v.100.17.zip

This are not much tested: but there are already 5 different Stochastic indies and also a couple of EMA, SMA ( still some missing)


Anyway I added also some templates based on pmullin86 initial templates: http://www.forexfactory.com/showthread.php?t=283291 (Post 13)

MJMulitMTFIntervals:

The template is also in the download file at the first Post.

First Subwindow is from the 'pmullin86' template.

Second subwindow is the one with my new indi based on Bar open value.

At the second pic one can see ( has to look carefully the Red one) the difference of the new one displaying till the active bar.

MJRopeChartInterval

The template is also in the download file at the first Post.

First Subwindow is from the 'pmullin86' template.

Second subwindow is the one with my new indi based on Bar open value.


Note: I keep the rope symetric: not using the (23,3) nore the (24,3)

MJRopeChartInterval

The template is also in the download file at the first Post.

First Subwindow is from the 'pmullin86' template.

Second subwindow is the one with my new indi based on Bar open value.

Note: I keep the rope symetric: not using the (23,3) nore the (24,3)

Till here its is the same as the one above:

additional 3rd subwindow: a MTF M15 Rope

NEW and Updated indi package:

Download from the First post: MJ_Indies_20110707__v.100.18.zip

The new indi is included: MJMultiMA_SameMTFIntervalInterpolation_v.100.18.ex4

** True MTF Multi MA's - see the corresponding vertical lines

ADDED Last Indi to the Package:

Download from the First post: MJ_Indies_20110708__v.100.19.zip

Total of: 12 related Indicators: Stochatic and MA(EMA/SMA)

ADDED NEW MACD Chart interval:
Download from the First post: MJ_Indies_20110711__v.100.27.zip

Next will be a MTF Version of the MACD indi.



This MACD follows a similar display and way of calculation as the one shipped with MT4.

Note that this is not the standard way of calculation nor the standard way of plotting it:
for some related discussion see:http://www.forexfactory.com/showthread.php?t=69409 'the real macd.. not MT4' '

NEW TEST indi pack (14 indies SMA, EMA, Stochastic, MACD)


Download from the First post: MJ_Indies_20110712__v.100.30.zip

This are test versions which might still have a number of issues.

use the ideas from MJ-Testing customary indicators http://www.forexfactory.com/showthread.php?t=303610

to test them.

Great work, as the files are exe (which i understand you would want to protect) can you supply custom call lines so values crosses etc can be called into testing ea's i build

hi censura,

maybe just one thing before hand: this are still test versions: need to clean up some of the internal code stuff (also need to carefully recheck if the work as outlined in: MJ-Testing customary indicators http://www.forexfactory.com/showthread.php?t=303610)

Anyway:
I'm not exactly sure what you need: but I guess you should see it in the Data Window if you enable: bShowIndicatorInfo = true;


BTW: as you mention EA.

1.maybe some info which might be helpful:I do all the calculation myselfnot using any of the MT4 customary indicato help like:iMAOnArray or any of the http://docs.mql4.com/indicators.

I outlined some of the why/reasons in my first posts links.
really suggest to have a quick scan true them.

2.
I don't follow the normal indicator ways of using the
int limit;
int counted_bars=IndicatorCounted();

etc. reason: http://www.forexfactory.com/showthread.php?t=291109

What I do is at indicator initialization to calculate the PastData only once
and afterwards calculate only the LiveData: normally updating only 1 (at new bars 2 values - I think MT4 usually updates and recalculates 2 values.
http://docs.mql4.com/customind/IndicatorCounted

MTF VERSIONS: are readjusting much more data back till the start time of the MTF Resource Interval Zero bar.

3.
I would strongly suggest for real trading/testing to keep the 20 sec delay as at indicator initialization (especially if the terminal is newly started one get's often into a mess (till the chart data are updated - and I only calculate the Past once)

4. I'm sure there are a couple of more things: but this is only the first test versions which I will use to build a couple of other things around.

Hope it helps a bit.


BTW: I would be interested in a feedback in case they freeze your PC or something like that you might find out.
(I just have not tested them enough and I also run them on a Linux machine)

Thank you for your reply - How can i for instance call / get the current bar or previous bar value into my ea -

usually for simplicity i use a globalvariableset and get process

or for exe indicators - double trendmtfs = iCustom(NULL,0,"!Ultra Stochastic Color Line"," ",StochTF," ",FastK,SlowK,SlowD," ",MaMode," ",PriceField," ",false," ",2,LightGray,1000," ",0,2);

for example - the issue is making sure i can identify all the paramaters which is not easy.

As i said i would like to identify the current or previous bar value of your indicator say MJSTO_chart_v100.30

and use it in conjunction with other indicators to see if it helps identify good entries

hope you can help
