Hi Seller 9,


Why don't you use Symphonie spike indicator instead of Semaphor it does the same job without spoiling the charts.

Find it on the symphonie thread by evaluator

Cheers

You can leave the Semafor off the chart, the EA only needs it in the indicator folder.

The EA needs nothing on the chart.

simple rule to tighten SL

first step is to find the range bar size , let us say 5 pips, then we find the spread for the pair ( can be average to this average we add 2 pips )

say eusd avg spread is 1.7 pips we just add 2 pips so we get 3.7 pips and when we add the 5 pip range bar size we get 5 + 3.7 = 8.7 pips we can round it off to 8 or 9 pips ( if aggressive then 8 else 9 pips)

Now we have the SL addition value .

we know that as per the river side a clean candle not touching the bar is the entry rule , so we just find put the sl that way .

suppose we fire a sell at say 1.2300 eusd and we just keep tracking the top value of the band as the candle moves , let us say the price has dipped to 1.2285 and at that point the top band value is 1.2300 then for a clean candle to fire on the opposite side , we have to add the values

1.2300 + 5 + 3.7 = a candle touching the top bar
1.2300 +5+3.7 + 1 pip = a candle not touching the top bar.

this was done in ichi breakout. The sl will keep moving along with the price as and when a new candle opens, This sl will remain as long as the trade is on , exit will be thru tp or BE/JS .

this way you will have the best of both worlds. In case of a whipsaw you will be having the tightest sl and in case the trade goes in our favour the sl will not trigger at all .

Since the Riverside system is so good i am sure we will hit 95 of each 100 trades we take , 5 trade off course will be sl hits but one should not worry with that small sl hits.

in all these calculations the renko box should have the wick on ..... that itself will avoid any false entries

Coding using Offline Charting, what is the best method for coding an EA that is dragged onto one offline chart (call it master), with its set of indicators, and then be able to read the other multiple offline charts (sub-charts) with each having their respective indicators and settings per system trading rules??? Using 4 sub-charts, each one is using the same currency pair for a total of 5 charts.

Have tried iCustom, which works only with preset time frames. Global variables, if I understand it correctly, have memory problems.

Have I overlooked a single command or is it a set of commands to do this the right way?

Your help is greatly appreciated!!!

Have been trying to find a solution to this problem for months. Changing code now. The only issue I see is if I drop the EA on multiple currency pairs how will the program know which offline charts to reference? Or am I just completely missing it.

Thank you, thank you ....

I haven't tried it but try a different Magic Number for each one.

@seller 9 , it would great if we have a post explaining the meaning of each of the settings in the RB_renko_v2 EA. I find the Lot size mentioned 2 times and the SL is kept as 0 by default.

if already explained in some other post as reference pointer will do .
Will do, I am putting the final touches to version 3 that will include your SL ideas from ichimoku and will put together a document on the settings.

@seller 9, nice to hear that, i tested the renko_V2 EA , one thing i found out is the renko with a 5 pip bar gives a different size when you have a wicks on and when the wick is off then the size is shown correct. Any idea why it is playing traunt.

I think we should have it at 5 pips with the wicks on , may be some bug .

The trading part of the EA is fine, Also when i put the EA on the 5 min chart , it seems to be getting some early entries but being a min chart it is not a smooth chart. if you try the 4 pip renko then it will tally with your EU chart of 5 min .

For EU and EJ 4 pips if you are thinking in terms of 5 mins and 8 pips for 15 mins time period.

Unfortunately the NULL did not work.

I'll keep searching as there has to be some way, if not, then offline charting doesn't make a lot of sense if you can't code between them.

Thanks for trying.

With the Renko EA I use just the Open and Close to determine a clean candle. The open and close is always 5 pips with the wicks on or off. For now I use a candle with the Open and Close above or below the river for a dry candle. This seems to be more consistant regardless of the RB generator. I tried a few different RB generators and they all seemed to do it different, I believe a true RB is from High to Low, but the only thing I could find consistant was the Open and Close, so I went with that for now, of course this can be changed but thought it would be less confusing this way with traders trying to generate there offline charts, will see. With the present RB EA the candle bodies are always 5 pips.
I will do some screen shots of the entries and add them to the version 3 documents and it will make it more clear as to how the aggressive and non aggressive entries work.
I am testing version 3 now to see that the river SL like you presented is working, once I get a trade and see it is I will post version 3.
The only other addition to v3 is a choice of adding a ma for trend confirmation to try and stop some of the bad trades, don't know if it will help, but will see. Right now I am using a 200 sma Open, if the trigger candle closes above it we can go long if it closes below it we can go short. This will be a selectable filter like the semafor and you will also be able to pick a different ma period.

I have seen this over on the Renko Forum, but I don't think there is a MT4 version available.
I deleted v2 from the first page by accident, will see if I can get it back. I had posted v3 and then realized it had a bug so deleted it and took v2 with it.

I wasn't watching this chart at the time so don't know for sure what happened when this trade did not take place (see chart below). But I suspect the White Sun (Long Signal) was stopping it from taking place.

What does everyone think?

Maybe we shouldn't be using the semafor.
I am going to try it tonight with it set to false on one demo and true on another and see if I can get it to act up again.
