THV system, final edition

The very latest is v4.76 (just like .75 but removes some debugging code I forgot to remove. The SAH just gives alerts for whatever you tell it based on the indicators you choose. I don't give advice about how to use it.

The closest it can get at the moment to the two conditions you requested is alerting you when price is above the coral on the 5 m and when there is a simultaneous trix cross with that, but it doesn't know when the Coral is red or green.

There is a chop indicator in it, which is based on Dean Malones synergy method of not trading when price is inside the two bands created by the smoothed 5 period moving average high and the smoothed 5 period moving average low. You can try it and see how you like it.

The best way to avoid chop that I know is to learn to recognize when it's going to occur. You're going to have chop whenever there's a range. In my experience there are three times when the market will range. The first is when it's waiting for something such as NFP or a big speech or crisis resolution deal or something. The second is when it goes into a holding pattern overnight and during Asia because the market has made a decisive move the day before, and everybody is waiting to see what London is going to make of it the next day. The third is when it hits a technical area where there 'has' to be chop (in the absence of some crisis driving right though that area.) Those are areas usually where you've been going in one direction for a good while, then you hit pretty strong higher tf support or resistance and get a reversal sign like a double top or bottom. Normally you should reverse with one of those but if, right below (or above in the case of a double bottom) is a pretty strong looking S or R that's going to be defended, then you're usually going to get chop until somebody wins.

I downloaded the version 4.76
SAH! is amazing! Im still in the process of figuring out what 4 types would work best for me. & Yes I will only be using it through london session& NY.

-I find Asia is always choppy before London.
i'll give that indicator a try aswell, I find the sah very helpful

Im using the SAH on an M5 chart:
Should my all my ePeriod values be: 0

also If i combined types would that conflict?

The eperiods should be 0 if you only want to see the values for the indicators on the 5m chart, while you are looking at the 5m chart. If you want to see where price is in relation to the coral on the 15 m chart while you are looking at the 5m chart then it should be -1 Or if you want to see where price is in relation to the coral on the 5m chart while you are looking at a 1m chart then it should also be -1


You can combine any types you want as long as you only use one type per row. The entire point of the SAH is to let people experiment with different combinations to see what suits them.

In my last post I forgot to mention the other way to avoid chop, which is to wait until there is some consolidation , and then wait for price to break out of it. There are a few types in the SAH that show that pretty well like 34 and 38.

I love SAH..
also btw! -- Thanks for your help & your time.
I really appreciate it!

Got it; ill keep a note of that -- On my regular charts I will set it out to give me indications on both M5 & M15 but initially:

My reasoning for this:
Im in NewYork TimeZone, I sometimes often miss perfect trading setups during London session (or anything before NY open) since Im sleeping:
Hopefully with this; If i can find the perfect settings on M5, An alarm should wake me up when a perfect setup arises.

I know you mentioned you dont give advice on settings: but any personal suggestions you could give me to test out what would work best on M5 setup.
Im testing: 3, 13, 15, 20, 42, 46 combinations rite now all on M5

Sorry I don't give advice on how to use it. This is deliberate - my hope is that others will test various combinations and share them with the thread, as a few have done.

I completely understand.
Eitherway, Thanks for your help, & time

SAH is going to do alot of good for me, I will post results & findings!

Dear Miss Pips, I love the MTF trixes that you have generously shared with the forum. I was wondering, I use the LFH Trading Simulator 3 to backtest various indys and methods and was wondering, is it possible to be able to use the MTF trixes with the trading simulators? I tried already, but it won't recognize the mtf part....do you know a way around this by chance? Thanks for all your help!

Normally simulators wont work with MTF indicators Somewhere in the thread someone did post a version of one of the simulators that was MTF itself. It was rather complicated to setup, involving offline charts timeframe conversion. You'll have to search for it - I don't remember who posted it but I think it was called MTFvHandsTrade. I don't know if it worked or not.

If it's only the trix, coral and ichimoku you are interested in you can get around the problem by changing the MA lengths in one of the versions of those indicators that let you do it. (For example to see the 5m ichimoku on the 1m chart use 10, 15, 25, to see the coral use 300 and to see the Trix change the A period to 100 and the B period to 175). You have to let the simulator run a bit to get the values to show up)

Hello to all, I've got a quick newbie question. Let me first say that I'm 58 and if I try to read the entire thread first then I'll be 99 before I get started. Therefore your assistance is greatly appreciated.

After reviewing many threads that do not have clear instructions as to how to set up and implement, I must say that post #1 here is great. Lots of help and guidance.

OK, to my questions.

1. Is there a manual for V4? If so, please provide the post.
2. If there is not a manual for V4, should I install all of V3 indicators and learn the system from the V3 manual to start with and then implement V4 after that?

Thanks to everyone for your great attitudes and assistance.

Peace,
Arcade

You're welcome. Here is a new SAH that has the option you are looking for - i.e it knows the color of the coral as well as whether price is above or below it - type 55.

New SAH v4.81 Hi All,
Here is a new version of the SAH.

Changes:
New etypes 51-55.
Changed text color back to red (from black) to prevent problems for people dragging the indicator onto black charts. IF you prefer black you can readjust it in the TextColor param.

If you have a bug to report or questions about something that is not properly explained in the documentation, I will be happy to answer them and I will try to improve the code/documentation for next time. However please do not PM or post me with questions just because the documentation looks too long and complicated to read or because you haven't completed the prerequisites. The reason the documentation is long and there are many prerequisites is because I have added many indicators/options that people have requested, and if I spend my time answering questions that have already been answered then I have less time to do that.

Prerequisites: Please make sure that you have downloaded all the helper indies and history for the timeframes you intend to use or your mt4 version may hang. If your MT version does not hang when you drag this version of indicator onto the chart without changing the defaults and does hang when you change them you have probably not completed the prerequisites.

You can get the helper indies here:
http://www.forexfactory.com/showthre...10#post4788110


In addition, before you ask me any questions about the email not working, please make sure that you can demonstrate that your mt4 is properly configured to send email by showing that a test email is working.


Modes:


EperiodTypes:
=====

Type 0 - slow trix . Green when fast trix is sloping up, red when it is sloping down

Type 1 - fast trix
Green when slow trix is sloping up, red when it is sloping down.

Type 2 - stochs
For type 2 (stochastics) you can set each row to use a different stochastic. Use Stochsignal for row1 , secondstochsignal for
row2, thirdstochsignal for row 3,fourthstochsignal for row 4etc.)

Type 3 - Thv classic mode
(fast trix above slow trix and fast trix above 0 and fast trix green or the opposite for short)

Type 4 - semiclasic (fast trix above/below slow trix i.e trix cross but not necessarily above zero, and fast trix still in
direction of trade)

Type 5 - cloud. Green when price is above Ichimoku cloud, red when it is below it.

Type 6 - HeikenAishi. Green when HA bars are greeb, red when they are red.

Type 7 - TDI (traders dynamic index) + Market sentiment (TDI yellow line) increasing or decreasing for red or green

Type 8 - AboveBelow0 (fast trix above 0 and fast trix green - or the opposite for short)

Type 9 - AboveBelow Tenkan (Price above/below Tenkan) (Uses second cloud settings)

Type 10 -Above/Below Kijjun (Price above/below Kijjun ) (Uses second cloud settings)

Type 11 - Above/Below Tenkan && Kijun"; (Price above/below Tenkan & Kijjun ) (Uses second cloud settings)

Type 12 - Trix Hist (shows whether the distance between the fast and slow trix is increasing or decreasing in the direction
of
the trade)

Type 13 -Coral. Green when price is above coral, red when it is below it.

Type 14- Divergence - Catches the divergence arrows show by the Trix on the higher timeframes. Note that divergence arrows do
not appear in realtime - it takes a least two bars for the trix to catch it, and it is also not always right. So it's better
to catch it manually yourself, but if you missed it this will give you a heads up.

Type 15 - Both fast and slow trix. Red means both fast and slow trix are red, green means both fast and slow trix are green,
empty means one is grean and the other is red.

Type 16 - The angle of the stochastic signal line. Red means the line is sloping down green means it is sloping up
(regardless of whether there has been a cross or not)
.
Type 17 - Same as type 16 but the signal line is greater than 20 and less than 80.

Type 18 - Chop signal based on the TDI. Red when price is below the TDI 5 period high and low smoothed channel, green when
price is above it, empty when price is inside the channel.

Type 19 - All ThV. Green when price is above coral and cloud and both trix lines are green, red when price is below coral and
cloud and both trix lines are red. However trix does not have to be crossed in the direction of the slope.

Type 20 -All ThV Plus Trix Cross Same as type 19 but in addition trix must be crossed in the direction of the slope.

Type 21 - Green when price is above Coral and Cloud, and Slow Trix is green, Red when price is below Coral and Cloud, and
Slow Trix is red, empty when none of the above

Type 22 - Green when price is above Coral and Cloud, and Fast trix is green, Red when price is below Coral and Cloud, and
Fast trix is red, empty when none of the above.

Type 23 - All Guppy MMAs are sloping the same direction. Green sloping up, red sloping down

Type 24 - All Guppy MMAs are sloping the same direction, and also in order ( i.e, 3 above 5, 5 above 8 etc, or vice versa)

Type 25 - Three specified MAs have crossed and specified stochastics poining in same direction. (Uses MACrossMA1 etc)

Type 26 - Three specified MAs have crossed and are above the Coral.(Uses MACrossMA1 etc)

Type 27 - Fast trix, slow trix and trix histogram all the same color

Type 28 - Treads ADX setup: Green when PlusDI above MinusDI, Plus DI increasing, PlusDI above specified value, ADX above
specified value, ADX increasing or red when vice versa Note that ADX , PlusDI and Minus DI price mode values are as follows:
PRICE_CLOSE 0 Close price.
PRICE_OPEN 1 Open price.
PRICE_HIGH 2 High price.
PRICE_LOW 3 Low price.
PRICE_MEDIAN 4 Median price, (high+low)/2.
PRICE_TYPICAL 5 Typical price, (high+low+close)/3.
PRICE_WEIGHTED 6 Weighted close price, (high+low+close+close)/4
This is different from the MTFADX indie Tread released, which uses the high price for all three by default (an error in my
opinion because it seems to scew things to the positve side, but you can choose what you like). If you dont care whether the
ADX is above a certain value, just that it be increasing set ADXMinVal to 0. Likewise if you don't care if the DI value is
above a particular level, just that it be increasing set DIMinVal to 0.

Type 29 - Ignores whether the ADX is increasing. Just checks whether ADX is above the specified value, whether DI is above
the specified value and whether DI is increasing.

Type 30 - Using the params firstlowertype 30 and firsthigher type30, seccondlowertype20 and secondhighertype30 you can check
whether the PlusDI on a lower tf is higher than PlusDI on a higher tf and MinusDI on a lower tf is lower than MinusDI on a
higher TF and ADX is rising ( and vice versa of course).
Green when PlusDI> PlusDIHTF && MinusDI<MinusDIHTF && PlusDI> PlusDIPrev && ADX >ADXPrev
Red when MinusDI>MinusDIHTF && PlusDI< PlusDIHTF && MinusDI>MinusDIPrev && ADX >ADXPrev

Type 31 4 Mas in order and expanding shows you when the four selected mas are in order and when the distance between the
first and second is expanding (Uses MACrossMA1 etc)

Type 32 -4 Mas in order and narrow- Red when 4 MAs in order, MA1 below MA2, MA2 below MA3,MA3 below MA4 and the distance
between MA1 and MA4 for the
current bar is less than the specified channel. Vice versa for green (Uses MACrossMA1 etc nd ChannelWidth)

Type 33 - 3 MAs in order (instead of four)
Same as type 26 except uses 3 MAs without checking if they are above or below the coral
Red when all MAs in order - MA1 below MA2, MA2 below MA3. Vice versa for green.

Type 34 - 3MAs narrow&expanding
Same as type 33 except also checks if the distance between MA 1 and 3 is less than the value specified in Channel and is
expanding.
Red when all MAs in order, MA1 below MA2, MA2 below MA3,and the distance between MA1 and MA3 for the current bar is less than
the specified channel and the distance between MA1 and MA3 for the current bar is greater than for the previous bar. Vice
versa for green.

Type 35 - DI& min vals
Red when minus DI is above plus DI and greater than DI min val and ADX is greater than ADX min val. Vice versa for green.

Type 36 -3MAs narrow
Same as type 34 but doesnt check if the mas are expanding.
Red when all MAs in order, MA1 below MA2, MA2 below MA3 and the distance between MA1 and MA3 for the current bar is less than
the specified channel. Vice versa for green.

Type 37 - Ha Candles above/below Coral and cloud. Red when HA candles are below both Coral and
cloud, green when HA candles are above both coral and cloud, blank when both conditions are not met.

Type 38 - TDI band breakout. Green when the TDI green line breaks out of the blue bands to the upside, red when it breaks out
of the bands to the downside

Type 39 - Like type 7 but ignores whether market sentiment (TDI yellow line) is rising or falling. This is the original
Synergy signal - 7 was a modification of it

Type 40 - TDI band squeeze. Green when distance between blue bands is less than BBSqueezelimit param and TradeSignalLine2 is
above market sentiment, red when it is below it.


Type 41 - Slow trix above/below 0. Red when slow trix is below 0, green when it is above it, with out regard to the slope of
the trix


Type 42 - Slow trix above/below 0 and sloping up/down. Red when slow trix is below 0 and sloping down, green when it is above
it and sloping down, blank when both conditions are not met.

Type 43 - TDI green band is above Market baseline. Green when the TDI green line is above the market baseline (yellow line)
red when it is below it, without regard for whether it is also above/below the red line.

Type 44. All THV plus OB/OS. Like type 19 except signal is not given if the fast trix is in overbought or oversold. (Uses TrixxxOB and TrixxxOS params where xx is a timeframe like M1 M15 etc)


Type 45 - TDI RSI A/b Market baseline BB expanding. Green when the TDI green line is above the yellow line and the blue bands are expanding, red when it is below it and the blue bands are expanding

Type 46 - Trix, cloud, coral, TDI yellowband, stochs. Green when price is above the cloud and coral and the TDI yellowband and stochastics are rising. Red when price is below the cloud and coral and the TDI yellowband and stochastics are falling.

Type 47 -TDI Fan squeeze. Green when the slope of the TDI green, red and second market baseline are increasing , green is above red, red is above the second market baseline, the green line is above the yellow line and the blue lines are expanding.

Red when the slope of the TDI green, red and second market baseline are decreasing , green is below red, red is below the second market baseline, the green line is below the yellow line and the blue lines are expanding.

Type 48 - Green when ATR is increasing and plusDI is greater than minusDI. Red when ATR is increasing and minusDI is greater than plusDI.

Type 49 - Green when ATR is increasing and price is above the cloud. Red when ATR is increasing below the cloud.

Type 50 - Trix Cross. Green when fast trix is above slow trix, red when it is below it.

Type 51 - Tenkan above/below Kijun. Uses secondcloud MA periods

Type 52 - Price above/below MA Uses PriceXMAPer PriceXMAMethod, PriceXMaAppPrice params


Type 53 - CCI above/below level specified in CCILevel


Type 54- Outside bar Price reversal. Red when previous bar was green and current bar is red if current bar' high is above previous bar high and current bar low is below previous bar low. Green when previous bar was red and current bar is green if current bar' high is above previous bar high and current bar low is below previous bar low. Does not work with HA candles. Does not wait for bar close so if, for example you are watching for 30m bars on a 1m chart it may show you an green outside bar that in the end closes red. However for the minute you are looking at it was green

Type 55 - Price above/below coral and coral is appropriate color - i.e green when price is above, red when price is below

Note: The useHACandles param affects type 5, 9,10,11,13 19, 20,21,22, 25 and 44.

When true, the ePeriod types that compare where price is in relation to something such as the Ichimoku cloud or the Coral
compares the close of the HA candle instead of the regular close.


Configuring auto timeframes
===========

If you want to autoconfigure timeframes using mode one, you can use the following settings
in eperiod:

0 : current tf
- 1 : up one tf
-2 : up two tfs
-3 : up three tfs.
-4 : up four tfs
That is, if you are on a one min chart and you set ePeriod to -1 you will see data for the 5 m chart. For -4 on a 1 m chart you will see data from the 60 m chart.

Alarm
===========
The way it works is that for each row in the histo you can choose whether to count the row in the max score by setting
countE1-4 to true. Then you set a Max score. When EnableAlerts is true, you will get an alarm when the total score is greater
than or equal to the Max
score.
For example:
Suppose I have the following settings.
row 1 is the 1m f trix
row2 is the 1 m coral
row 3 is the 1m cloud
row 4 is the 5m fast trix.
If I want to get an alarm when all four rows are the same colour I set countE1-4 to true and max score to 4.
If I want to get an alarm when 3 of the four are true I set countE1-4 to true and max score to 3. In this case when any three
of the rows are the same color you will get an alarm. (You will also get an alarm once when the fourth row turns color as
well)
If I want to get an alarm when only the first, second and third rows are true I set countE1, countE2 and countE3 to true,
countE2 and countE4 to false and max score to 3.
In addition the score for each row is reset if the histo row changes color.
So if you have an alarm on the first,second and third rows, and max score set to 3, when all three change to the same color
(green for example) you will get an alarm. If the second row changes color (to red for example) but the first and third rows
stay green, when the second row changes back to green you will get another alarm.
You will get the alarm at the start of the next bar following the bar in which the total score was greater than or equal to
maxscore.

EmailAlert: Set to true if you want to get email alerts. EnableAlerts should also be set to true and it would be best to
leave AlertMode type as 0 (alert on newbar when last bar has closed with a signal) rather than 1 (interbar)

MissPips,

PERFECT!!!
Thanks alot.

This is going to make my life & all dreams come true!.
The SAH is already doing miracles! >> By far one of the best indicators!


PS. just tried v.4.81 on type 55, meta trader keeps crashing and closing, Is it just me?

Did you download the helper indicators the SAH needs as mentioned in
the post in RED LETTERS?

Hi MissPips.

I think i will also try the SAH in the next months and post some setups,
looks to nice to dont give it a try,

(at the moment im stuck in my system and daily trades
and cant experiment so much)

but let me ask something other.

As i said few times i really like the THV4 InfoPanel.ex4

Is there a .mt4 File of it or can you tell me

who programmed it ?

Thanks..

I suppose there is an mt4 file but I don't have it. Cobra
probably does, although as a rule he doesn't give out the source code.
I don't know who programmed it either,
but I'm sure Cobra does.

I read that; and yaa I have all prerequisites installed,
TDI.mq4 ,,,HeikenAshi_DM.ex4 ,, Ichimoku.mq4 ,,THV Helpy1.mq4 ,,,THV T3 Trix.ex4 ;; and SwissArmyMixedhistoV4.81.ex4
& all other THV V3 modules are installed

My Version 4.76 works perfectly fine;
just when i setup 4.81, it lags and exists the programe.

Hi Arcade,

1. In a word, no. However, you can use the V3 manual with the V4 system.
2. No need - simply use the V4 system with the V3 manual.

Also, please note there is a THV variant freely available at www.pipware.com and there are some very helpful videos (see lessons 4 and 5) and documentation there. You need to register with them to be able to download their version of the system.

Kind regards

Thanks for your feedback. I'll be watching the thread as I wade through my setup and implementation. It should be fun.

Arcade

What happens when you drag 4.81 onto the chart without changing the defaults? Does it still do that?

Can you please post the logs from the experts/logs file dated the same time that this happens?

[quote=MissPips;5380939]

thanks for this great indicator SAH.
What settings do you prefere to use at 1min 5min TF .
Your reccomendation is ... ?

You're welcome. I don't make recommendations for this indicator.
This is deliberate. I am hoping to encourage the members of this community
to test various settings and share their results
