MTF Indicators for the 'Trading Made Simple' system

Quoting Xaphod
The opening of a candle happens at the same time as the close of the previous candle. So in this case, those 2 cases are considered the same.

alert.onbarclose=false should make the alerts fire once/bar when the condition is first triggered. However, the trigger condition may reverse before the candle closes. I'll have to perform some tests to see if/why it is not being triggered.
Thanks for the heads up!

I just tested it again, just to be sure and it doesn't trigger the alert. I have been testing on 15m charts where the TF are 30m, 1h, 4h. After testing over 6 months (on 2 pairs for now..) I haven't really had so many reversals that would give me a fake signal.

Yes, there is a bug in the code that causes it to miss alerts when using onbarclose=false. I've fixed it and will release a new version soon.

Xaphod, I am really impressed by the MTF TMS Histo, thanks a lot! I do have a problem though: there are pairs which do not show the TMS Histo "value" (in our case the color) of the highest TF. In my exmple the W1 value. What can be the reason? Any help appreciated.
I do not know the cause of that. Missing history data? There is a new version of the indicator that will be released soon. That pair worked fine when it was tested on the new version.

So, I'll wait and see if it is still an issue when the next version is released.

Thanks for the quick reply. I am looking forward to be able to test the new version.

  1. Improved cpu performance.
  2. Fixed Alerts: Alert.OnBarClose=false did not work correctly.

Is it possible to have a sideways arrow as well as the up down arrows?

See how flat the M15 cross is, the indi may be correct in pointing down but it's only because the indi has to be up or down.

On another note, not sure how you trade this, but for mine you do not have a valid green cross until the red is heading in the same direction. A sideways arrow would also allow for this if you think it a good idea.
Good Trading
Thank you Xaphod for the great indicators.

Would it be possible for you to add the alerts to the single histogram indicator? Right now it seems like only the 3 histogram indicator has the alerts. I prefer the single one for a number of reasons.

thanks
Woww... Xaphod..you're amazing

I've been happily trading using your original TMS indis and didn't realize this MTF version also exist

Thanks a lotx2

The multiple histogram indicator alerts when all the histograms have the same color. That does not work for a single histogram.

As the indicators are currently written, adding a color change alert to a single TF is not trivial as multiple bars change color depending on the TF. Maybe I'll look into it when I have more time. Too busy at the moment.
Hi Xaphod,

I trade the TMS system, but I do use the MBL.

There exists a TMS OSC Cross v1.04 indicator you created that paints arrows on the cross of RSI and the TSL. I have some vision challenges and if you see my chart postings, I am very much a minimalist, however for me the arrows can be a great visual aid.

My request is the addition of an arrow for the RSI cross of the 50 and the RSI cross of MBL as well. I would like the ability to turn each cross on or off, that is to say, to have none, 1,2 or all crosses painting on the chart. (RSI crosses TSL, RSI crosses 50, RSI crosses MBL)

I would be more than willing to compensate you for your efforts as this indicator would prove valuable to me and perhaps other traders. I do not want to introduce it on the TMS thread at the risk of taking away from Eelfranz, however many traders do PM me to ask how I trade and I would be more than willing to share it with them.

Thank you.

Let me ask Xaphoh the following: Automate green cross and the red cross of the TMS CSOs come out as automatic trading. Have a nice day

Sorry, I do not understand.
Xaphod,

I have a 3-TF Heiken Ashi Histogram indicator which looks similar to your TMS-OscHisto3TF indicator.

I want to receive an alert, at close of bar, when all 3 timeframes of histogram turn same color.

Can you provide me with a .mq4 copy of your indicator so that I can study the alert code?

I was not able to send you a private message.

You can use Hanovers DIY Alert kit to more easily implement alerts in an indicator:

Hi Xaphod,
Firstly I gotta say a huge thank you to yourself and others like BigE in this forum for sharing your expertise so that others can learn and progress as traders.

Regarding your reply to adeforex in post #38

Try deleting the compiled version of the indicator (the *.ex4 file).
Install the source code version only (the *.mq4 file).


I'm fairly new to Metatrader (not to forex) can you tell me where I can firnd the .mq4 file please. The indi attached to this thread is .ex4

Thanks very much

Hi,

The current versions of the MTF indicators contain code that is not open source, so only the executable files are available.

If you have a problem running them, state the nature of the problem, the broker and the version of MT4 and I will look into it.

Hi, Xaphood!

Thanks a lot for these indis. They are great. However, I have a favor to ask you. This indicator as it is right now, shows position of red/green lines on higher time frames, but basically only shows green line above/below red in box colors green/red. Can you incorporate angle of the cross and bounce into this indicator? I mean all that needs to be done for example: stronger angle on cross and bounce would make the color stronger (brighter), weaker cross would make it duller. User would define what angle would be the trigger like 4.0 or 4.5 and what for bounce. This way trader would see more detailed picture on the higher time frames, without actually switching the charts.

Thanks,

Lost

P.S.: Sorry ignore my post, I already asked you this on another thread....

Hi Xaphod,
Thanks for taking the time to answer a junior members questions. I have mistakenly mislead you as to my problem. What I am trying to do is to turn off the TimeFrame.Repaint parameter as per your reply to Devonfgu first quetsion in post #42. If you could tell me how to do that or if you could attach the indi with that parameter set to false that would be extremely helpful to me. Its a fantastic indicator and your work here is very much appreciated. Thank you
