David could you still do changes to cwb? I want to add mid pivots. Thought we did that but seems so long ago I forget !!
Claudia, the CWB EA bases its trades around the central daily pivot (PP), and is capable of plotting PP, S1, S2, S3, R1, R2, R3 only.

There are plenty of indicators around that plot mid points (e.g. here, and also in this thread). If you want to see the mid points, you could simply attach one of those indicators to your chart.

Okay, thanks for the response. Does the old code still work? (the code i see in all guides etc)
As far as I'm aware, most code written in the old language must be recoded.

ex4 files compiled in the older builds will still run correctly (at least that's what MetaQuotes assures everybody), but any mq4 code that uses now-obsolete functions compiles with errors.

I had written a large number of indicators and EAs, and it was too much work for me to recode them all, hence I've quit doing any MT4 coding and troubleshooting.

From my experience, converting my old code to new hasnt been that difficult or time consuming. A few rules need to be followed but many routines will run unimpeded.
If an Indi or EA was useful, it's probably worth the effort, at least it is for me.

@blueruby — reply to your shout:

Rob,

I’m sorry, but I’m not sure I can help much. My trading is very discretionary (I’m working toward using a mix of something like 60% TA / 40% FA) rather than quant, and I haven’t used MT4 strategy tester since maybe 2009.

I have a programmer/trader friend in Sydney (‘mim2005’ on FF) who wrote and backtested some EAs last year (you can read all about it here — as can be seen, modelling quality was 99%). He was using data from Dukascopy (more info here, if I recall correctly), but it wasn’t free, and there was some technical work involved in setting it up, i.e. converting the tick data into MT4 history format. Also, since then, the MQL4 programming language underwent some change in build 600, which may complicate things, I’m not sure (as a result, I’m no longer doing much MT4 programming myself).

Anyway, I’ll ask mim2005 about it during our weekly skype catchup, and get back to you.

It probably wouldn't hurt to post your query in Platform Tech. There are a few quant contributors who will be much more familiar with the process than I am.

Great to see you back.

David

Hi Hanover,

I sincerely commend and envy your generosity on this forum.

However, I would like to ask a favor from you. Would you mind telling how you managed to compile the news file from 2007 - 2014?

Thanks.

I've never written EAs for cash for any FF members. The only commercial product I've written is VO-Pro.

Since the release of MT4 build 600, I’m no longer accepting any programming or troubleshooting requests.

Here's an interesting tool l found Here It will make your existing code work on the more recent builds, I tried it and it worked, haven't tested it extensively but you can play with it and see if it works for you and any other out there having the same issues. You've done a lot on FF. I appreciate.

Hello Hanover, sorry to ask this here, but you once mentioned about a martingale system that went on for 7 years. Do you mind telling me who was this system from ? Thanks.

No need to apologize. That's what this thread was designed for.

I've encountered hundreds of systems in my travels, but I can't recall seeing a 7 year martingale.

Can you point me to the thread where I made that comment? The context might help to jog my ailing memory. I've just googled "hanover martingale 7 years" and come up with nothing.

Dear Hanover, Thanks for your help and indicators. I have a question.

What is the best method to calculate Currency Strength base trend on WY/D1/H4.? Do we follow Colour or MA or some other method.

hello everyone.

i don't know if it's the right place to ask but, does any one have the MT4 version (indicator) of myfxbook community outlook histogram ?

it should be really easy to make, there is an API, sadly i have zero knowledge of MQL4 programming .

i would really appreciate if Hanover or anyone helped me on this one

thank you.

Dear Hanover, Thanks for your help and indicators. I have a question. What is the best method to calculate Currency Strength base trend on WY/D1/H4.? Do we follow Colour or MA or some other method.
IMHO there is no best method, a lot depends on your personal strategy. The 3 indys that I use (RS, CSM and PSA) all use different calculations, and most of the time tend to deliver a similar result (suggesting that the nature of the calculation is not that important). Instead, for me, FX trading is more of an art than a precise science, and the driver behind the move (i.e. fundamental analysis) tells a more important story than the move itself.

If, alternatively, you are trading using only TA, then you speculate that either (1) the existing move will continue (effectively a trend following approach) or that (2) price has reached a probable top/bottom (e.g. has reached S/R levels, or some other zone where orders are likely to be clustered; and/or is overbought/oversold) and will reverse. Re (2), given that many traders use oscillators to detect OB/OS, the ROS indy might be better suited than RS to support such an approach.

I'm sorry, but I haven't seen such an indicator, and I'm no longer undertaking any programming requests. You could try re-posting in one of the "I code your indicators for free" threads, where your request is likely to have greater visibility; or if you're willing to pay, find a MT4 programmer on a site like elance. Either way, you'd need to provide details of the location of the source data, along with any calculations needed to generate the plots.
