TDI Alerts new - Traders Dynamic Index Indicator v2a

Long time ago I have downloaded the "TDI new Alert"-Indicator from (I think) codebase/mql4.com. Now it came back to my mind as I were looking for an substitution for the cci. Anyway - I had a look to it and did some changes/additions. It is possible to choose the alertcandle, have the pushnotification alert also, nearly every parameter is external and changeable (alert levels, colors, ma-rsi-settings, etc.).

I did not change the way of calculation. I changed the name ans version also - to "TDI Alerts v2a.mq4", imho that makes sense because of all the mods./additions (previous version was 2.0) ...

For all of you who do not exactly know how the signals are generated (strong buy, weak buy, etc. pp.), here is a short "cheat-sheed" I wrote:

Quote
SIGNAL GENERATION:
------------------

The TDI (Traders Dynamic Index)
===============================

Volatility Band High (VB HIGH), color: SkyBlue, buffer: UpZone
Volatility Band Low (VB LOW), color: SkyBlue, buffer: DnZone
RSI PRICE LINE (RSI), color: Green, buffer: MaBuf
MARKET BASE LINE, color: Yellow, buffer: MdZone
TRADE SIGNAL LINE, color: Red, buffer: MbBuf
TRADE SIGNAL2 LINE, color: Aqua, buffer: McBuf, -> has no function for signal generation!

Indicator SignalLevels:
RSI_OversoldLevel : 23 (default: 32)
RSI_OverboughtLevel : 78 (default: 68)
VB_ConsolidationLevel : 20 (default: 20)

Conditions:
===========

Strong Buy: RSI>TRADE SIGNAL LINE && TRADE SIGNAL LINE> MARKET BASE LINE && RSI>RSI_OversoldLevel && RSI<RSI_OverboughtLevel

Medium Buy: RSI>TRADE SIGNAL LINE && RSI> MARKET BASE LINE && TRADE SIGNAL LINE< MARKET BASE LINE && RSI>RSI_OversoldLevel && RSI<RSI_OverboughtLevel

Weak Buy: RSI>TRADE SIGNAL LINE && TRADE SIGNAL LINE<MARKET BASE LINE && RSI< MARKET BASE LINE && RSI>RSI_OversoldLevel && RSI<RSI_OverboughtLevel

Strong Sell: RSI<TRADE SIGNAL LINE && TRADE SIGNAL LINE< MARKET BASE LINE && RSI>RSI_OversoldLevel && RSI<RSI_OverboughtLevel

Medium Sell: RSI<TRADE SIGNAL LINE && RSI< MARKET BASE LINE && TRADE SIGNAL LINE> MARKET BASE LINE && RSI>RSI_OversoldLevel && RSI<RSI_OverboughtLevel

Weak Sell: RSI<TRADE SIGNAL LINE && TRADE SIGNAL LINE> MARKET BASE LINE && RSI> MARKET BASE LINE && RSI>RSI_OversoldLevel && RSI<RSI_OverboughtLevel

HIGH LEVEL CAUTION (Overbought): RSI>=RSI_OverboughtLevel

LOW LEVEL CAUTION (Oversold): RSI<=RSI_OversoldLevel


TrendSignals:
=============

Strong Up: TRADE SIGNAL LINE>MARKET BASE LINE

Weak Up: TRADE SIGNAL LINE>MARKET BASE LINE && RSI<MARKET BASE LINE

Strong Down: TRADE SIGNAL LINE<=MARKET BASE LINE

Weak Down: TRADE SIGNAL LINE<=MARKET BASE LINE && RSI>=MARKET BASE LINE

Consolidation: VB HIGH-VB LOW<VB_ConsolidationLevel

Btw - if you open the mq4-file in the editor, you can read (on top) a short introduction to the traders dynamic index by his developer, Dean Malone (2006). And I do not want to forget to mention Tim Hyder (Hiachiever) who has rewritten the entire indicator in 2008 (and added lots of stuff also, see changelog in the sourcefile).

edit 05.12.2013: OnChart-version attached (show the tdi on the chart). Please re-download TDI Alerts v2a also, I have found a few bugs and added an option: UseStochInsteadOfRsi. If it is=true, we'll use stochastics-calculation instead of the rsi. Enjoy

Find the OnChart-version of the tdi in post 1.
OnChart-code is by mladen taken from the indicators found in the Stochastic and RSI on chart-thread
Many thanks also to Dr. Siegert (traderdoc), I think without his help I would be still struggling and could not post the first version right now

Hi,

​I'm no programmer and looking for a little help recoding the alert on this Ea,
i have managed to get it going on the latest build of Mt4 600 (upgrade version) buy compiling the ea on an version 502 of Mt4, i luckily didn't upgrade one of my demo accounts....
​but i would like the folioing if anyone can help at all ???

basically i only want the BUY - alert, popup & email / arrow on chart when trade signal line crosses the RSI line when above the MBL (yellow) ((on candle close)) AND when price is above a 60ema

opposite way round for sell signal.
could also do with the settings of the RSi MBL etc to match the original Dean Malone version ???
i like the other things like warnings for overbought etc but don't want the alert on them if possible ???
many thanks in advance


nelly ..

basically i only want the BUY - alert (...) when trade signal line crosses the RSI line when above the MBL (yellow) (...) AND when price is above a 60ema opposite way round for sell signal.
ok, I have added some new external parameters.
if RsiTradeSignalCrossAlerts is TRUE (default) it should give the alerts if priceline crosses the tradesignalline.
if RsiTradeSignalCrossMaFilter = true it will filter with the ma (false per default)

i think the logic you have suggested will not work, so I changed that to:

BUY: priceline crosses the tradesignalline BELOW the marketbaseline,
SELL: priceline crosses the tradesignalline ABOVE the marketbaseline,

Since the indicator is rather complex it is very confusing when there are more and more options added - And since I do not use the indicator anymore I have not really fun to mess around with it ...

pls. see attached. if loaded with the default settings it gives me a sell signal on EURUSD W1, so I think it works

->@ all: later I will add the .ex4 files for the indicators in post 1 because I think the indicator does not compile with the newest mt4 builds. You can compile it by yourself when using the build 509 mql4 editor, find it at http://www.forexfactory.com/showthread.php?t=470340

Many thanks for recoding this,
what i meant by my initial request (sorry if confusing) was

green line crosses red line when under the yellow (mbl) and only alert when the cross happens when the actual price on chart is below the 60ema,
buy when red crosses free when above MBL and only alert when main price is above 60 ema..

i have load the new ea onto the strategy tester buy cannot get any pop up alerts to pop up -
i have changed the option of MA to true -
i will continue to look into this and see if it works when market is live data ? maybe just the back tester that isn't working ??

again many thanks for your time .

fx,

when you say priceline crosses the trade signal line - are you referring to the green line ???

BUY: priceline crosses the tradesignalline BELOW the marketbaseline,
SELL: priceline crosses the tradesignalline ABOVE the marketbaseline,

I think it works also on backtester (maybe only Print that alert in the journal tab), but I am not sure ...

fxdaytrader,

would you be kind enough to apply you coding change to this simple arrow indicator to only paint arrow when it meets with my requested criteria ?
i fully understand if you don't have time.

again thanks for your time.

Hi Nellycopter.
Do you find the 60EMA to filter away bad trades in a good way in the TDI system?
Do you find the TDI ALERTS v2/v3 the best visual indicator?

Would it be possible to add information for current slope angle and current bounce slope angle - really good data, like in TMSWathDog indicator. (as a very important part of TMS strategy).

Hi fxdaytrader,

As with the original TDI indicator that was known to repaint, does this do the same? Thanks.
