MJ - My Indicators

First Post: NEWIndiAndUPDATE__20110830.1.zip

Fixed a couple of things.

Added a 2 new Alert indi:

ALopSMATouchPrice_0.00.ex4 (and a EMA version too)

ALERT OPTION: If the SMA touches the Price (or is within an additional defined distance)

TIP of usage:

I just needed to test something so I thought I post this shortly.

Sometimes one does want to test an Alerter which does not plot anything.

Using the Alerter's option iAlertVLineSubWindowNum in combination with an : EmptySubWindow indicator can be really helpful.

What I did:

1.
There did already exist a similar indi (ALop5STOkUpDn_MTF) so I attached it in the first subwindow and use for VLine Alert the: iAlertVLineSubWindowNum = 1

2.
Attach an: EmptySubWindow indi: using: iSubWindowNum = 2 and write some explanation text

3.
Attach my new Alert with same STOk settings as the existing one: iAlertVLineSubWindowNum = 2

4. Now One can check if the new indi works correctly.

I also want to test M5 Order Alert


So I to better follow it through I changed for all alerts the:
iAlertOptionWhen = 1 to iAlertOptionWhen = 0 (0=Alert Only once per chart bar OR if MainMessage changed.)

1.
Attach a new: EmptySubWindow indi: using:
*IMPORTANT: change the sExtUniquePrefix = 2-EmptySubWindow (as we have already one EmptySubWindow indi)
* iSubWindowNum = 3 and write some explanation tex


2. Added the existing similar indi: ALop5MAOrder
iAlertVLineSubWindowNum = 3
also using iAlertOptionWhen = 0


Now we have the old one attached: I additionally changed the colr and font Size of the EmptySubWindow indi


NOTE: seems that the StoUpDn does not work correctly on live bars - will check that

NOTE: seems that the StoUpDn does not work correctly on live bars - will check that

Found the problem: Will correct it and post them with the next update.

Continue from the last pic.

Now I readjusted all a bit:
1. SubWindow: is existing MTF 5STOk UpDn Alert
2. SubWindow: is existing Chart 5MA Order Alert

3. SubWindow: is the new combination of the two above ( Which is part of a new Alert I do for pmullin86's strategy: you might like to check out his thread: http://www.forexfactory.com/showthread.php?t=283291)

So: By now I have added all three indi I wanted to combine:

1. SubWindow: 5Stok Direction
2. SubWindow: 5 MA Order
3. SubWindow: MA touch Price

4. SubWindow: NEW Combined Alert. which needs some explanation how it plots the Vlines

* ALERT OPTION: This is a combined alerter.

* - UP:
* - STOk Direction: ALL MTF STOk point up.
* - MA Order: ALLl MA are stacked in order: MA1 higher than M2 ect..
* - MA Touch Price: enabled MA touches the Price (or is within an additional defined distance to the Price)

* - DOWN:
* - STOk Direction: ALL MTF STOk point down.
* - MA Order: ALLl MA are stacked in order: MA1 lower than M2 ect..
* - MA Touch Price: enabled MA touches the Price (or is within an additional defined distance to the Price)
*
* - IMPORTANT NOTE: because this mixes 3 different Alerts one has to make some adjustments the time tag (bVLineAlert and bWriteFileAlert mainly effected.)
* - it does not really effect the correct Time when an Alert is triggered - only where VLines are plotted
* - As the STOk Direction and the MA Order are both using the same bar time to display their alert I settled for this:
* - VLines are plotted at the bar of the Correct STOk Direction and MA Order and 1 bar after the MA touches Price. (but at the correct time when it happens)
*



Anyway: I wanted mainly to display how this things with alerts in SubWindows can work out: but it is a bit of a work to set it up with the EmptySubWindow indi and renaming everything correctly. But the point is it can be done and is quite useful additional Alert option to all the other once.

And will you also have the option still to only alert again with a different signal after alerting once...for example you get all conditions met and it fires off an alert than it won't alert again until conditions are met for opposite entry

Yes, it's part of the general Alert System I implemented.

(only in selected Alerts: Like the separate EMA/SMA touch Price I disable it: the reason is that there is no different direction with the MA Touch Price: which would result into being alert only once and never again: as you know such option exists already)

* iAlertOptionWhen: Alert Option When to Alert:
* - 0=Alert Only once per chart bar OR if MainMessage changed.
* - 1=Alert Only IF the MainMessage changed
* - 2=Alert Only Once: After that it must be reset.


BTW: I just had a good idea:

I will now implement the option to enable/disable each of the 3 parts of the combine Alerter.

This will allow for different combinations of Alert search:

1. STOk Direction AND MA Order AND MATouch Price

2. STOk Direction AND MA Order

3. STOk Direction AND MATouch Price

4. MA Order AND MATouch Price

I don't allow only one to be enabled as t does not make sense for a combined Alerter: in such case one should use the single Alerter which to that.

Hmmm I myself hadn't thought of that but that's definitely absolutely a good edition/option also...gives the user great flexibility...

I guess you meant above this option: in the last subwindow

I will write the info file and than post the new (untested combined) alerter and also all updates to some of the other indi

pmullin86, this is not yet the one you wanted (but very similar) as it uses 5 STOk and 5 MA which can not be changed

20110830 - LATEST INDICATOR PACKAGE RELEASE (untested so expect mistakes)

1___INDICATORS__FINISHED___1__20110830.zip
2___INDICATORS__FINISHED___2__20110830.zip


What does it contain:

* 91 individual indicators: BUT many of them overlapping a lot

* 34 individual indicator help files.


//ADDED NEW indi and fixed a number of errors in others.//


Download from first Post.

For anyone really interested in them
I would suggest to do a similar chart as the picture above. This will help you to get used to some of the common setup options and also the errors.

It will also help you to understand some of the many Alert options as well as give you some ideas how to check things - comparing indicators etc..
There are probably still a number of errors from my side: but as I start using them myself, I will fix them step by step as time permits.

If you implement some of the indicators in your trading: it would be nice if you post here a little bit how you use them.

ENJOY and HAPPY TRADING!!

PS: 20110830: POSTED SOME additional ini: 5_OTHERS__Addition_20110830.zip

Just in case anyone really uses some of my indicators:

A note on VLine Alert:

1.
VLine Alerts are quite nice but have one natural limitation: one can only see 1 VLine per Chart bar.

e.g. H1 Bar: during this 1 hour there might be a number of different Alerts e.g. Stochastic line direction Up/Down changes which are enabled for Alert.

An a Live candle this will usually be updated to reflect always the latest condition - which I guess is fine: for detailed Alert report one can use the PopUp Alert, Email Alert, or WriteToFile Alerts: plus the general SoundAlert.


2.
This is the more important info: For Multi Timeframe indicator Alerts

Normally MTF indicators repaint: depending on the settings etc.. at times they repaint a lot.

NOTE: I do not reflect any changed past Alert conditions after a chart bar has closed. (This is mostly important to know for VAlerts.)

e.g. one uses a MTF H4 on a 1 Minute Chart.

let's say: H4 bar Open Time is: 12:00 Using an Stochatic Direction UpDown Alert.

Current Time is 12:10 meaning we are in the 10 bar on the chart of that particular MTF Candle. That means with each new tick coming in there are at least the last 10 Chart Bars repainted.

What happens to the VAlert:

12:10:20 Sto-Direction UP: VAlert - UP Color
12:10:30 Sto-Direction UP: VAlert - UP Color
12:10:30 Sto-Direction FLAT: VAlert - UP Color ( I don't do usually Flat so the last color stays: UP)

12:10:41 Sto-Direction DOWN: VAlert - DOWN Color

12:10:59 Sto-Direction FLAT: VAlert - DOWN Color ( I don't do usually Flat so the last color stays: DOWN)

New Bar
12:11:00 .......

FIRST CONCLUSION: all is as planned

if one looks at the chart one can see that the Vline Alert is using the correct color.
(note it is in fact more complicated as for many indicators I use bar open value based data as well as a SHIFT into the future - just to note).


NOW THE PROBLEM: (Not a problem but something one should be aware of)

Time: 15:50 This means 10 minutes before the H4 MTF Bar closes:

That means with each new tick coming in there are at least the last 230 Chart Bars repainted.

By now the situation of our 12:10 bar above with the last VAlert Color Down: might have changed dramatically because of News announcements or whatever...

The Stochastic is repainted backwards to reflect this changes: BUT as I said in the beginning THE Vline Alert is not changed after the Chart Bar closed.

So looking at 15:50 at the chart one might wonder if the Alerter works correctly or not.

I just wanted to point that out so that anyone interested knows why sometimes the charts VAlert seem to be wrong (which they are not)


A easy way to get the correct updated VLine is to restart the terminal switch Chart period forth and back ect... this will initializes the indicator anew and also the VLine alerts will be repainted accordingly.

(Past data there should never be a problem except the errors in my code


HAPPY TRADING

Hi
This are two old advanced MTF - ZigZag indicators!

This is based on some code from the famous: ZUP indicator - (Universal ZigZag with Pesavento Patterns) so the credit goes to the coder of that.
I do not anymore support them but I thought I post it as it might be useful for someone. No info files are available ect..)

NOTE: you also need the :ZigZag_nen4_mj_v1.00.ex4

Old TREND SCANNER Indicator MTF: not any more unsupported but might still be useful for some. no info file.

Old TREND SCANNER DASHBOARD MTF: not any more unsupported but might still be useful for some. no info file.


Note: one needs to switch periods or pairs a few times till all is initially updated. Afterwards it should do it by itself.

Old : Pass System Signals

5-min PASS (Price Action Scalper System)
http://www.forexfactory.com/showthre...280881&page=74


Unsupported Signal for the System: I used it in combination with other things: templates and related indicators are all together.

This is an old indicator I do not support anymore but maybe some others find it useful


Plots: Entry, SL and TP levels ect..

OLd indicator: MA_Difference unsupported but maybe useful for some.

Old unsupported ini: ZigZags_LastMoveProjectionOnMaTrend_mj might still be useful to some.

Morning mj, I'm curious about your trend dashboard what does it use to determine trend

Posted a collection of old unsupported but maybe useful stuff:
