MJ please, could you fix this indicator, to he took testimony for the calculation is not a month, but year,I need Pivot_ESAZ_Year?
Sorry Teresh but this is exactly the example i'll not be dealing with.

Your indy plots monthly pivots (MS4 thru MR4) and their midpoints like every other pivot indicator does. The 'special feature' are the diagonal (X) lines plotted between the pivots and intersecting on midpoints. I grabbed a yearly pivot indicator and had the lines hand-plotted within less than one minute - see chart below.

You will do this once per year. You can save a template with those lines for every pair/symbol. Again: you will do this once-per-year.

Indeed the indy could be recoded to plot yearly levels.. if i could do it within few moments i would do it and post but your indy simply takes data from the PERIOD_MN timeframe. MT4 doesn't have a yearly TF ready to read OHLC from, i would need to do the level calc on my own or grab it from the yearly indy. maybe you'll find someone to do this, it's not that hard, but i've got no time for this. Sorry to leave you disappointed

Hi MJ,

I know you are under no obligation to reply me on this post but i just wanna try...

I am asking your help in creating a trade execution script.

Here's what i want:

Assuming i have balance (regardless of currency) of 1,345,000 in my account.

When i double click the BUY (same for SELL) script, it should do the following:

1. To arrive the trading lot size, the script should divide the balance in the account by 10,000. Using the above example, the trading lot size should be 1,345,000 / 10,000 = 134.50 standard lots. However, my broker's max trading lot size per trade is 100.00 lots. Therefore, the script should be able to divide the total lot size into two equal trades (divisible by 2), if the total trading lot size is greater than 100.00 lots. So the script should send two (2) trades of 67.25 lots each.

2. After successful execution of trades, the script would immediately put stop loss of, for example, 5% of balance in terms of pips. The script should give me the freedom of adjusting the risk % to my preference.

3. I would then need a close all trade script.

Again, thank you in advance if you are willing to do this script for me.

Cheers

Hi MJ, I know you are under no obligation to reply me on this post but i just wanna try...
ok Vic, and i'm still asking who's eating up all the liquidity... follow me pls: desired total size is clear 2me.. then determine borker's max lot size and send {greater-than-that} as separate orders.. that is also clear.. Q1: the trades must be equal? 101 lots has to be 50.5+50.5 or can it be 100+1? reason for the question is: what if you have 201 lots or more? or imagine 301 wouldn't it be better to do 100+100+100+1 (n*max + modulo) in that (and any) case rather than dividing into equal parts? so the question is: is the equal size of partial trades important??? Q2: should they be market orders or limit/stop orders - i assume market but tell me. Q3: should the 'close all' script close only trades opened by the 'aggregator' scripts or any open trades?

sorry i'm hard to read when in hurry. pls give As to my Qs. i think i could do it l8r this wk.

MJ,

Please find my answers as below:

Q1: the trades must be equal? 101 lots has to be 50.5+50.5 or can it be 100+1?

A: In this case, i only want to send trades of 100 lot. If total lot size is 135, then send two trades of 67 +67. If total lot size is 157, send two trades of 78+78

reason for the question is: what if you have 201 lots or more?

Subject to trading conditions of EURUSD of my broker (
http://www.migbank.com/trading/tradi...-and-bullions/), the max lot per trade is 100 lot.

If, the lot size is 201, i only want 100+100. If it is 235, then i would want 78+78+78=234

Meaning to say that, regardless of the total lot size greater than 100 lots per trade, the break down orders can be divisible into whatever equal parts, as long as it is a whole integral. The left over odd lots are ignored and do not send as part of the total trades.

or imagine 301 wouldn't it be better to do 100+100+100+1 (n*max + modulo) in that (and any) case rather than dividing into equal parts?

In this case send trades of 100+100+100, ignore the remaining odd lot.

Q2:should they be market orders or limit/stop orders - i assume market but tell me.[/b]

Market order. My broker is a STP broker, so the SL and TP have to be modified after the market orders.

The script need not need to modify TP after market order. I will manually adjust TP.

The script should have an user define input risk in % and will translate this % into pips as SL after the market order. For example, if i have balance of 2,345,000. Total trades send will be 2,345,000/10,000=234.5=78+78+78. If i define my risk as 3% of balance, that will be 70,350. This figure will translate into pips for the three orders accordingly as 30 pips for each order, round down to the nearest whole number. From this point onwards, SL and TP are none of the script's business anymore.

I can also manually adjust SL and TP then.

should the 'close all' script close only trades opened by the 'aggregator' scripts or any open trades?

The close all script should have a window where all open trades are listed and i have the option to close all or selective trades.

MJ, i hope i've clearly put across my idea. Once again, thank you very much for helping. Your effort is really very much appreciated.

Cheers

yes it's clear now, and it will be simple to do. i will use my routines for SL/risk (it's a bit tricky - you must respect the value of the pip - it's not the same for every symbol) so half the thing already done.

well, this will be a bit challenging:

wow! a GUI? i'll see what i can do.. got an idea and like it - could be interesting for more people even for me, sometimes

maybe you should consider David's (hanover's) VO-PRO, it's cool! and it's not expensive!

MJ, maybe to make things easy, i just need a simple close all open trade script. Don't worry about what i've outlined in my previous post. I'm sorry if it has slowed your personal agenda.

However, i will be very happy to use it if you are going to produce it as your new baby

[/quote]maybe you should consider David's (hanover's) VO-PRO, it's cool! and it's not expensive![/quote]

I've checked David's VO-PRO before, a very good tool to have. However, i don't think it is for me as i don't do multiple trades, other than the breakdown of trades i've mentioned before. So, a basic close all trade script work good for me.

Thanks very much, MJ

Hi Mary Jane
My english is very bad so i'll write in short sentences.
You know Hanover (david) work. He made a nice indicator CSG
I think it can help for all systems.
David made a new parameter can help alot you can choose the TF.
My opinion is that we can use it in this way:
Minimum difference for long = MDL = 2.8 mean that, if all conditions are good for long and the difference is more then 2.8, a deal create.
Minimum difference for short =MDS = -3.5 mean that, if all conditions are good for short and the difference is less then -3.5, a deal create.
The calculation have to be in a pair the primary minus secondary.
Example : eurusd. The indi shows eur=3.6 usd=7.4 the difference is -3.8 (minus 3.8).
Then short is possible.
Thank you

hello MJ
nice to see you still around factory
chillypiper sent me here to search an answer to my question about the removal of tick chart from the order window.
and so here i am.
interesting your order window. let me know if/when you complete it, will be very helpful (the damn order window is definetly too large in mt4)
if you like, there is a broker (atc) which gives also a "one click" order box but it appears on left corner and impossible to move it.

have a good day, hope to see ya soon.

hi, the thing won't be finished this year.. mid January at soonest.

perhaps you know: go to Market Watch (Ctrl+M), double click on caption to detach, select pair, then the Tick Chart tab.. (see attached pic) ..but the history limit is an issue for you i guess.

btw you would come much better off via offline charts imo, there are indicators doing it, of course the "offline" chart updates in realtime.

maybe someone could tell me how?

  1. DLLs must be allowed.
  2. Open a chart with the pair you want to trade, any period.
  3. Attach both indicators to that chart.
  4. Go to File -> Open Offline.
  5. Find !TickXXXXX chart with the same period.
  6. Apply attached template (removes grid and sets line chart).
  7. Disregard the time axis and the period displayed.

However, it's a Bid chart only. To display Ask on the same chart, the LogTickData indicator would have to be modified to store Ask prices too, and a new indicator (to be attached to the tick chart) would have to be made to read the Ask data and plot them to the tick chart. Perhaps somebody made it already but I don't have time to search now, you have to do it yourself. It's not that hard, i can make it too but no more this year.

You can attach any indicators or EAs to the chart. A new chart has to be opened everytime you restart MT4.

I've got the indicators here: http://www.fxfisherman.com/forums/fo...harts-mt4.html from the 1st post and modified them a tiny bit - only 4 digits after the DP were shown (fixed) i have preset 1 tick mode (default was 5 tick bars). There might be much better versions or ways to do it in that thread, and for sure here at FF - but i really can't afford to spend a minute more with it now do your own research if you need anything more.

Hi MJ,

I'm sorry to bother you (and can't send you private messages) as I'm sure you get a lot messages with all your good activity around the forums, but I have an indicator I need help with. Its fairly simple... basically it takes a CCI, with a user defined period input, and then prints bars in the indicator window when the CCI is above a certain threshold. For example, I programmed one for my ninjatrader, where I use a 400 period CCI on a 2 second chart that prints red when CCI reaches the 150 level (and keeps printing red until it leaves 150). It also has a second threshold at 200 where it starts to print yellow. And the same thing on the other side: when CCI reaches -150 it prints green, and -200 it prints yellow.

I was hoping you could help me with how to do this in MT4 or maybe just set me up with a basic script for this. I also use a 375 period stochastic on my 2 second chart that prints green at a level of 1 and red at a level of 99. Combined, they are excellent at spotting reversals which is all I trade.

If you're too busy, I completely understand, but you're the only one I could think of on here to ask with help for this. If you were interested in helping, I could pass along my Ninjatrader script if that would help expedite your efforts.

Thanks!

John
