MJ - My Indicators

hi,

I'm not very familiar with the http://docs.mql4.com/indicators/iCustom

symbol - Symbol the data of which should be used to calculate indicator. NULL means current symbol.
I guess it should work similar- as I normally use the Symbol() only once to assign it to a variable I use later.

timeframe - Timeframe. It can be any of Timeframe enumeration values. 0 means the current chart timeframe.
No idea if that works with my indies. for test I would keep it at 0


name - Custom indicator compiled program name.

... - Parameters set (if necessary). The passed parameters and their order must correspond with the desclaration order and the type of extern variables of the custom indicator.


I guess you would have to pass on as parameters the whole lot ( I think for single STO chart version there a 45) incl the additional string info too.

For the input variables I use some form of type assignment in the name:

e.g. the first small letter is the type identifier:

e.g.
s = string: sUniquePrefix
c = color: cInfoErrorObject
b = bool: bShowIndicatorInfo
i = int: iPastStartChartSHIFT

All the general infos are: strings


mode - Line index. Can be from 0 to 7 and must correspond with the index used by one of SetIndexBuffer functions.

That you should be able to see from the data window: but for the single line stochastic it should be 0

shift - Index of the value taken from the indicator buffer (shift relative to the current bar the given amount of periods ago).

Not sure: I guess it should work the same.
But you will have to play around with it and backcheck with a plotted version. Internally I use often a shift of 1. Take a couple of days to see if you can work out something: if so maybe you post shortly how you did it: might help someone else one day.

The simplist way is to insert the following in your code

Let us say the variable that holds the stoch value in your indicator is stochvalue[i] obviously you would replace this with the variable in your code thathat holds the value

Globalvariableset(symbol()+“mjstoch“,stochvalue[1]);

This will store the bar[1] value assuming this is how you store value for youur indicator

When I attach your indicator to say gbpusd chart and look at global variables it
(Tools-globalvariables on chart took bar) it will show gbpusdmjstoch - 56.4556 for eg

To call value in ea I would the write in my ea code
Globalvariableget(symbol()+“mjstoch”); to get value the symbol()+ means the value for each charty can be identified

Thanks

Ok attached is an indicator i use in an ea i have developed

the code part is shown below

for(x = e-period; x >= 0; x--)
{
trend[x] = trend[x+1];
if (ExtMapBuffer[x]> ExtMapBuffer[x+1]) trend[x] =1;
if (ExtMapBuffer[x]< ExtMapBuffer[x+1]) trend[x] =-1;
GlobalVariableSet(Symbol()+"execute",ExtMapBuffer[1]);

if (trend[x]>0)
{ Uptrend[x] = ExtMapBuffer[x];
if (trend[x+1]<0) {Uptrend[x+1]=ExtMapBuffer[x+1];


}
Dntrend[x] = EMPTY_VALUE;

}

The ExtMapBuffer[x] holds the indicator values
The GlobalVariableSet stores the value for bar 1 in globalvariables

In Global Variable (tools-globalvariables on the chart toolbar) is shown in the attached image

To call variable in ea the code is
GlobalVariableGet(symboll()+"execute");

simple as that

hi censura,

I think I understood what you want.

I don't plan to do that in general for my indies as I do not see the need for myself and most people:

But I can do for you a separate version of the two STo(Chart and MTF) if you want.

here is 2nd indicator

That would be wonderful , i will provide you with feedback and if it works my ea - for you to test yourself

i liked how your ind worked in filtering ranging periods when combined with my other indicators so may work if i can test it

Ok: I hope this works for you.

Attached version with GlobalVariable: Note this is still the test version of the indi.


From your PM I assumed you do not want me to delete the variable after the indi is removed.

You can set the GlobalVariable individually in case you attach more than one indi to the same chart with the: sUniquePrefix.

GlobalVariable Name is: sUniquePrefix +"_"+Symbol

Cheers.

Thank you - on observation the indicator seems to draw a bar a head of current bar is this correct and the value it is showing in global variable i believe is the current value which is changing

Yes I use for the live bar a shift of 1 because as I mentioned in my first post this indies are calculated with the Bar open price plus for live bar the normal last tick (Close) value.

The GlobalValue is set to what is in the STO Buffer: when I go through the PastCalculation loop I assign each value to the GlobalVariable as well each Tick Value when Live data is calculated.

I don't think that you can use the PastValues though.

I don't expect much changes any more to this indicators:

* except fixing any errors I might come across
* and maybe adding some other basic indies

NEW Indi: Spaced Lines(e.g. RoundNumbers):

This indi is based on some code from:
smSpaced_00Lines.mq4

I did adjust it for my liking and add some small stuff.

Easily see the trend of the recent days (or/and current day) as well as additional info

Working on new: MJDPP (DailyPriceProjection)

I had before something similar which I used quite a bit: doing a new version now.

Hello MJ. Can you give advise. In MT4 or another advanced platform is it possible to move up or down the closing price of current (last) bar? May be in back test mode?
When MACD lines are bullish crossed I need this to figure out a price level below which closing means crossover is avoided, above - not avoided.

Hi wolfraider,

I'm not sure what you need/want - maybe a clearer example would be good. e.g excel, or a picture what you mean or a better description.

Are you programming the indicator yourself?

But probably one can do such.

MJ

New Indi: MJDPP - Daily Price Projection (with many individual options)

Download From First post.

LONGER INFO:

This is a remake of an indicator I used in the past quite a bit and found to be useful. (the new one is not much tested yet)

It is a bit similar to ATR connected with Fib Lines.

Anyway: I found it to be a helpful trading tool.


PIC 1:
1.
Shows the main lines and 2 different Calculation options (total 3 CalcMethods) - spot the difference

2.
Shows also the TextInfo options

More Pic of MJDPP:

More Pic of MJDPP:

IMPORTANT: If the price moves too much beyond the DPP Full Projection: Most lines can not be plotted without confusing the general helpful idea.

In such case I block all projection lines to be plotted(to avoid confusion) except the Middle Line.

If also enabled the PreviousDays Hi/Lo and the Days Hi Lo are still plotted (No confusion here


Most of the infos are directly within the Indicator Input window.

It has a lot of individual adjustable display settings too. Only TextInfo, Or Only the lines etc.etc.
