MTF Indicators for the 'Trading Made Simple' system

These MTF indicators will update/redraw all bars on the lower time-frame that represent the open higher time-frame bar until the higher time-frame bar closes. This is normal and expected behavior for an MTF indicator. If you do not understand this, you should not be using these indicators. If you want a 'non-repainting' version of the TMS indicator, zznbrm has kindly posted one he has written in the next post.
Hi Xaphod,

Thanks for the tool. This is very useful.

However, can you clarify more about the redraw all bars info? I've reread again and again but cant get what it means...

So let say we have Historam and there are H1 and H4 and D1 lines.
Currently all H1 dots are blue.
When the next H4 candle/dots appear (i.e. current H4 candle closed), and if this next H4 dot is red, you updated all the H1 dots to red instead of leaving it blue?
back... and more dangerous.

The H4 histogram on the H1 chart will always be the same as the H4 histogram on the H4 chart. Which is really the whole point. Note that each bar on the H4 histogram corresponds to 4 bars on the H1 chart.

Put a histogram on the H4 chart and an H4 MTF histogram on the H1 chart and then switch between the charts regularly to compare them during the day.

Hello Xaphod...new to this thread...may I ask where I can find the latest update of the TMS OSC. Indicator...like the one posted in your other thread (Indicators for the 'Trading Made Simple') Not TMS basic. Or I guess I should ask which is better? Are they both the same?

Thank you very much in advance.

The latest indicators are posted in the first post. These are functionally equivalent to the the MTF TMS Osc indicators and are provided as source code so users can tweak them as they please. There are a couple more variations and a bug in the alerts has been fixed. The matrix/tape indicators also have lines to mark the start and end of higher the timeframe bars. Ie, they are new and improved. If you would rather they be called TMS-Osc, you can rename the files after you download them.

Hi Xaphod,

Thanks for all the efforts creating and updating your indicators. I have one request for TMS Tape indicator. Would you please consider adding alerting capabilities so that if the indicator trend direction changes, after four hourly bars in a row, on the start of the fifth hour an email is generated plus screen alert?

I would really appreciate this as I am interested in forward testing.

Not sure what the problem is and hoping you can help. I have installed all the indicators from the first post, compiled as usual and can't get TMS-Tape or TMS-Basic to compile. All the others have ex4 files, but if I compile from meta editor, close and reopen mt4 those 2 files won't compile - only those 2. I have deleted loads of indicators thinking it might be a lack of space but I know thats not the problem. Never had this problem before so wondered if you have any ideas?

For some unknown reason I also see sometimes it isn't generated automatically. I think this is a rercent bug of mt4. You can manually compile it using mt4 compiler anyway.

Yes I've done that several times, nothing seems to work.

Until you fix your issue, you may use attached ex4 I compiled.

I do not know if too many indicators in the indicator folders is still an issue. I have over 600 indicator files in one installation and it works fine.

It could be a botched MT4 upgrade. I have noticed on one of my installations that the new upgrade system sometime fails to update the terminal.exe file. So one ends up with a compiler with a higher version number than the terminal and the terminal cannot run ex4 files from a higher version anymore.

Check the version numbers:
Terminal.exe: MT4 Main menu->Help->About
Metalang.exe: Open a console and run Metalang.exe. (Start->Run->Cmd)

Also you could check that the dates on Metalang.exe and Terminal.exe are the same.

Hi Xaphod

I would like to ask you about an indi that I have been looking forward to make for such a long time now but couldnt do so, its MTF that to be used to TDI and Synergy candles, so there's this thread that they use MACD MTF so thought to myself to try and incorporate that in Trading Made Simple and see if it offer any help, just testing that

Sometime its easier just to look at the trading time frame , and this indi could or might offer some help in fast identifying whats going on other time frames

But the thing is after I adjusted some setting in the indicator window , I found it overlay the last candles in row with black overlay, kinda like black bars overlay, I tried to find solution to remove these last candles overly but could not to, and it does that on all of the time frames

Is there anything that can be done to correct that?

Thanks

There is not much I can do without the source code either. If you are really desperate, you could write a script to find and change the background properties of the chart objects the indicator creates. However if the indicator deletes and recreates the objects when it updates them then it would not work very well. Not really an optimal solution.

Thanks a lot Xaphod for continues supporting this thread and members, I will see what else I can do, hope sometime in the future I find a solution, thanks again

Updated TDI-MTF-zz 3TF to v1.01. Fixed the alerts. See comments next to parameters in source for info on the alert parameters.

Added TF-Slicer to show period separtor lines.
