MT4 Custom Indicators changing settings

I use the Slow Sto on my charts …

Would like to be able to go into the Custom Indicators Section of MT4 and add the following presets…

It would represent a big savings if I could do this

In the last month I have had an HD failure and a malware bug.

Having these would allow me to get back up and running in a more expeditious manner..

Inputs
K=14, D=3, Slowing=3
Colors
#0 = Light Sea Green…..Width = 2, Style=0
#1= Red …..Width = 0, Style=0
Levels
80, 50, 20
Style = NAVY
Replace “Dotted Line” with a straight solid line…

Also, plz feel free to offer up any suggestions

I don't know exactly what you are asking for. The Stoch is one of the indicators that comes standard with MT4. If you want to install one in the indicators folder so it will show up as a custom indicator follow the link and download a copy.

You can always download the platform again if you have a problem with the default indicators.

EDIT: If you set up one chart with the stoch and everything else like you want. Save the setup to a 'template'. Right mouse click on the chart and select template. Then when you open other charts right mouse click on them and apply the template you saved on the correctly set up chart to the current open chart. If you name the template default every chart you open will have the saved setup.

Please explain what you are asking for if I missed the whole reason for your post.

Hi NV....

Thanks for your reply...I would like to go into the Custom Indicator section and change the settings. That kinda fit my style. So If I add a new chart I just have to click on the Custom Stoch (Right Click-add to chart) and there it would be...All ofl the fields will be pre populated with my settings...

If you open it up it is easy to change the numbers from there preset of 5,3,3 to mine of 14,3,3, but the others get kinda gray for me...hope that helps...sando

I do not have the skill, time, nor do I see any reason to edit the code of the Stoch indicator just to match your parameters.

I already explained templates so lets go to the Stoch that is part of the default indicators. When you apply the indicator from the navigator you can set the period settings on the parameters tab. If you click each of the other tabs you can set what you want. Use the levels tab and click 'add' to create your levels. At the bottom you can select style and color for levels. The color tab will allow you to set the style and color of the main two lines - stoch and signal. Once you set these options they should be there the next time you apply the Stochastic to a chart. As I said before using templates can speed chart setup.

I'm either totally missing what you are trying to do or I am not explaining it very well.

I will give it a try...thanks doug

It is amazing how sometimes an old thread can help in the present. Greetings nvwine and many, MANY thanks for your answer to the question put by sando on the 18th August 2008 at 04h49. Here I am today being helped. Your methodology of saving indicators which content, parameters and such stuff have been changed to suite a particular situation, as a template WORKS!!!!. I had changed the color schemes of three indicators so that I could monitor them as I trade and they are now all three saved as a template.
I use, on Binary trading, 13 curency pairs and was stumped as to how to insert my modified 3 indicators on all of them. BINGO!!! With my modified indicators saved as a template I just clicked on each open chart pair and clicked on my "named" template. All three modded indicators are now installed on each currency pair chart. WOW!!!! I can't tell you how grateful I am to you for your instruction as I had just about gone crazy trying do do what you in a few words helped me with. MAN YOU ROCK!!! as they say. Thanks again for ever man.
