I am posting the latest version of Signal Bars as there have been some requests on different threads for it. There have been some issues with the Signal Bars display since the new MT4 builds with the bars blending together so this has been fixed.

The password for this forum is free_at_ff Sorry for the inconvenience but I have had to use a password as it has prevented people selling it on eBay.



Request to have the Pips to Open changed to Pips to Close - Close being the previous days Close due to some markets having a large gap between end of a day and the start of a new day.



06/09/2014 : #Signal Bars 12 ff nmc code updated to work on the new MT4 600 series - The Password remains the same.

20/09/2014 : Some important notes concerning using #Signal Bars 12 ff nmc
#Signal Bars 12 ff nmc can only be used on the new 600 build series MT4 not the earlier version 500 series MT4, it also requires a Password before it will work and you also need to put the #Signal Bars 12 ff nmc ex4 file into the correct folder.

The easiest way to find the correct indicator folder is to start up your MT4 trading platform then go to file usually up at the top left of the chart then in this sequence Open Data Folder / MQL4 / Indicators then put the #Signal Bars 12 ff nmc ex4 file in that indicator folder and next close down the MT4 and restart it and you should find the #Signal Bars 12 ff nmc indicator in the indicator navigator list, remember #Signal Bars 12 ff nmc also needs to have a password ( see above ) put into the inputs as you load it on a chart.



An updated version of #Signal Bars v10b ff that uses previous day Close instead of Open coded to be used on the new MT4

26/01/2015 : Point values added to correct the digits on some currency pairs and the ability to display the Signal Bars or just the data information.
Note : If Signal Bars is not displaying the correct digits for the data on the currencies you trade please let me know and I will add the appropriate pairs to the code however please consider that the Signal Bars indicators have been designed to work on Currency Pairs.





This is what you get if the password is not used or is incorrect.



============== Signal Bars MT5 ==================================================

25/01/2017
Signal Bars has been updated to work on the MT5 platform - the password has changed and is "FREE_cja_indicator" sorry that I still have to do this but it has appeared to stop people selling it on eBay.
NOTE : The name can not be changed in any way or the indicator will not load on the chart.
This is a very basic version of Signal Bars but still has most of the features the mq4 versions have, please take the time to look through the inputs and try it for a while before asking any questions.
It has taken me some time to work out how to code this Signal Bars Display ( not totally familiar with the mq5 code yet ) using the mq5 code so there is every possibility that there may be some issues with it, I have noticed when first loading it on a chart sometimes the number values read incorrectly however a change of time frames updates the data. Please let me know if you find any problems.

NOTE : I have noticed that I have left different input values in the Stochastic input for the STR bars, currently they are 8/17/9 and method of SMA to make it the same default as the original Signal Bars the inputs should be 5/3/3 method EMA. The MA's are currently method SMA and should be changed to method EMA if you want to have it set by default like the original Signal Bars, of course it is up to the trader what settings they use.

Update 22/02/2018 : Some display issues when first applied to the chart have been fixed and the original default settings are back in the inputs. A shift input has also been added so the the Signal Bars indicator can be placed in an indicator/sub window.

The password remains the same "FREE_cja_indicator"

Hi,
Looking at your screenshot and the way the text is all compressed together I suspect that you may not have the correct font package loaded onto your computer.
My understanding is that some Windows operating systems do not have the full font selection, You could try Microsoft downloads and see what they have, I do not know too much about it however some one on this forum will probably know how to fix it.

This latest version uses webdings and Arial Bold as the main text and colored bars.

An earlier version had similar issues and this is what some one posted on another forum as a fix

The Signal bars font error resolve method!
Dear everyone!
I have corrected with follow method:
1, download the software "Font Creator Program 4"
2, setup this software and "open an installed font..." in the toolbars,load the "arial"font
3,select the "tools"-"AutoNaming",renamed the "arial" to "Tahoma Narrow" in the "font family name", then click "next"-"finish".
4,"save as..." this font in the "file" menu,and save in windows system font,such as "C:WINDOWSFonts", congratulation, successful!

Ahh, the font creator program isn't available for free...Is there any other alternatives? Sorry for the trouble.

Hi,
You can change the timeframe size and position in the inputs however it can only display 7 timeframes at the same time. So you could display for example
M5 / M15 / H1 / H4 / D1 / W1 / MN1

Hi highstall,
No I never converted it to MT5. Its not a simple job to convert it as MT5 handles things in a totally different way. From what little MT5 code I have done it appears that MetaQuotes have gone out of their way to make the most simple functions as complicated as possible.

Hi Rachel,
It is not something you can do as you would need the source code to do that however I honestly do not see the point in using Close as apart from the Close on Friday and the Open on Sunday/Monday the pip difference between the Close of the previous day and the Open of the current day is usually very small so it is unlikely to make virtually any difference to the figures.

hi again CJA

this is the only indicator I have on my charts

I want to migrate to MT5 but because I cant get your indi to work onMT5 I decided to stick to MT4


I came across this MT4 to MT5 converter http://mqlconvert.com/

I know you never released your source code but could I ask you to try and convert it and let me know the outcome?

Regards
Brian

I tried a conversion of another indicator with a similar number of lines of code ( because to convert anything requires that they get your source code ) and it compiled with over 100 errors and 85 warnings, like most of these things it is not a simple process and at this point in time with what is happening with MetaQuotes and the MT45 blend of code I feel it is not worth the time and effort to convert anything into MT5.

Regards CJA
