FF Liquidity as a chart indicator

The FF Liquidity tool is a great way of knowing when and when not to trade. I was thinking that this would be a great indicator to have on the MT4 workstation.

Does anybody know how to extract this info in to an indicator?

Not sure it is possible to download this data from the FF servers. You'd probably need to ask the FF administrators if they have a mechanism in place to allow this. I doubt it, but don't really know for sure.

The easiest solution would be to create an indicator based upon your broker's data. You should be able to duplicate most of the functionality of the FF Liquidity widget, but also add additional timeframes (not just 10 minute) and additional back data averaging periods (not just 30 days).

Of course you would only be analyzing the data from 1 broker versus the multi-broker solution used by FF. Although, now that I think about it a little more, it is possible to create an MT4 indicator to accumulate the data from multiple brokers, but this would be more complex and might be best reserved for the advanced mql developers.

Good luck!

Technically it is possible to do what you suggest. But whether it is permissable, I don't know.

The toughest technical part is the interfacing with MT4. Research needs to be done on how often an update is made. Presumably, once a minute or less frequent is OK. You have to realize that it take several seconds to receieve an update from a web page.

I made a request for permission to FF - I'll keep the thread posted.

PLEASE do, I would appreciate this very much as well.
Just a single line of text that can be positioned on any of the 4 chart corners would be perfect!

I don't think there are any API's for FF widgets, so i doubt you'll be able to 'extract the info'.

I could add volume data to this app to replicate the liquidity widget.

To clarify, you do not need an API to extract data. An API is preferabe because it is better structured and easier to use. Plus access rules are spelled out. But any data that appears on a web page can be extracted. Sometimes easily, sometimes not. The question about permission to do so is another discussion.
