bandung,
there is a russian programmer who coded (almost) all commands to set charts or whatever in Mt4.
You can do it from indicators, scripts and EAs of course.
Opening new charts, changing timeframes, attaching EAs, indicators or scripts, removing them etc.

Unfortunately his stuff is in russian only, but of course the mt4 commands
are in english.
2 Examples: ServiceGetScaleFix(), ServiceGetScaleFix1To1()

Take note of indicator window #3 and #4. CONSISTENT trend sizes during INCONSISTENT (and low) volatility.

It is this EFFICIENCY of the EURUSD that makes it a great instrument to trade.

PairData-BarTime
----------------------
I run this script each "new" time I open MT4. It makes sure I always have up-to-date M1 data for all pairs. It can be added to any chart and will run against M1 data.

RangeBarScript2
----------------------
This is a script that creates range bars (well, my version of range bars). It loops through all pairs that your broker offers (of the 28 non-exotic pairs) and creates/updates the range bar timeframe for each pair.

I use this script in my own trading. To be honest, I use a more complex version than...
Hi zznbrm,

Not sure how the Pair-Data-Bar Time script works.

I attached it to one of my charts...the way I have understood it is that it should refresh the other 27 chart's 1 min data whenever I open up the relevant 1 minute chart.

However, the script is reading "No connection to server". That does not look like its working...am I completely wrong and does it work briefly at startup across all the charts and then go dormant or is there something I need to do whilst attaching it to the chart?

Thanks

This is an interesting display. Is the code for this somewhere? If not can you explain what your definition of a trend is and what the 20,0,5 params are in your functions.

This I understand but it is about the same as volume.

I made an indicator that does the same thing by summing M1 price movement. I attached the chart which is similar. You can see I am missing some large chunks of M1 data though.

Also you can take the same data and divide the positive and negative movements to make a ratio. If you look at the M15 chart it is a lot cleaner no missing data. This seems like it might be the same thing as VSA but it is cool to do the same thing without volume data. Nothing but price movement analysis

Yeah, that script is pretty old. If I remember correctly, I created that script to load as much M1 data into MT4 as the broker's server would allow. And to keep refreshing the M1 at a preset interval. However, I have not used it for 2 years.

When I apply it to a chart now, it does not do much. It loads some data, but not much. I don't really have an explanation for you. Maybe MT4 handles the loading of data a little differently now.

If you still need functionality like this, I'm sure there are many products out there that can handle it. Do a search within FF and you'll probably find something.

To define the trend data, I used a calculation similar to the "SemaphortPrice2" (attached) applied to a 7-pip RangeBar chart. It is a little different from your typical semaphor or zigzag indicators in that it uses pip movements for identifying trends instead of bar counts.

Then I used a few other indicators to display the aggregated daily trend data you see in that chart.

20.0 is the number of pips to define a directional movement (trend).
5 is the SMA period used in the indicators for the white line.

Yes, there are many ways to define volatility and price movement. Thanks for sharing.

Thanks for this. I have compiled a db of 7 pip range bars based on your feedback. It has been great for testing some theories but in MT4 I will try to adapt this to just read the M1 data. Seems to be adequate and easier to make and get.

If I am reading what this does correctly then, for example your max trend is basically the maximum price movement with no 20 pip retrace.

ScrollToDate
-------------
Use this script to scroll multiple charts to a certain time.

Step 1 - Add the script to a chart and set eblnMaster to true. This is your main chart. The script will create a Vertical Line called "VL-ScrollToDate".

Step 2 - Add the script to any secondary charts you want to automatically scroll to the date of the master chart. Set eblnMaster to false on all of these charts.

Step 3 - Move the Vertical Line "VL-ScrollToDate" on the Master chart and all secondary charts will have a Vertical Line placed...
Thank you for generously sharing your scripts and indicators. I've been looking for this functionality for a long time.

A couple years back you posted this .ex4. I found the mq4 that you later uploaded here.

I compiled the mq4 and tried using it but it's not working as expected , at least for me. I opened a EU H1 chart, turned off auto-scroll in case it matters, and added the script. I of course enabled "Allow DLL". On this master chart, I set eblnMaster = "True".

I opened a second EU M15 chart, added the script with eblnMaster = "false", and also turned off auto-scroll.

Yes I can see that the slave chart does auto-scroll to the time that the vertical VL-ScrollToDate line is.

The problem? "Step 3" in your instructions is not working. In the master chart, the VL-ScrollToDate line cannot be selected and moved as desired. It first appears at 4 bars from the left edge of the master chart, but then with the next tick, the object is deleted, then with another tick, the object reappears, and so on. I cannot select and move the line to a new position because it just gets deleted then regenerated 4 bars in. I can zoom and shift the master chart as a workaround, but that's a bit clumsy compared to just moving the VL line as you intended.

I'm using the latest MT4 v4.00 build 438, on a Win7 machine. Do you see the same problem yourself? Maybe something subtle changed in MT4 since you last posted the code.

Do you have a fixed version working? If no, any ideas? Because you posted the source, I or anyone can take a look to try and fix it, but I wanted to check with you first.

Thanks,
Kent (pips4life)
