{quote} Hello Pip There are many indicators to generate constant range bars, a lot of them are not stable, which one are you using and has it been working properly for you?
I can't seem to find the ff forum I found it on right now. I've included the files that I have. It works very well.

Thank you
I have a couple of them but after a while they stop updating, or when I start the platform in the morning they do not update.
I will try this one.

Is this an indicator or EA, I have put it in the indicators folder and attached it to 1 min chart of FDX M5, on the chart it says open off line FDX M5 M2 ,but M2 is not in the list of offline charts
Any idea what the problem might be
Thanks

It won't automatically update, but all you have to do is, right-click on the 1min chart, select indicators, select range-bar indicator, toggle between the 1st and 2nd tab and click OK. This will update the charts and no need to upload everything again.

It is an indicator. Did you put it in the MQL4 folder under libraries and indicator respectively? It's been a long time since I've set it up, so I might be wrong, but that's what I can remember. If you don't come right, I'll test it when I get home and reply later today.

Thank you
It is working now, I had forgotten the libraries folder, however for some reason the range of the bars is twice the input, for 5 point input it is showing 10 point bars which is no problem of course, I can change the input.

No problem, I'm glad it's working. I'm not aware of the bars being twice the input, what market are you trading? Like you said, it's not really an issue though.

Morning all.

DAX: Slow start to the day. It's long weekend, so it might remain quite for the day.

I have squeezed a sneaky +25 out of the DAX so far this morning but I'm overtrading a bit. I wasn't going to trade today with the easter weekend and I agree it will probably be quiet for the day.

I have attached it to fdax, maybe because 1 point=2 ticks it is generating bars with a size of twice the input

DAX: +30 banked.
Quick rally in the DOW dragged the DAX higher. It coincided with a nice trendline break in the DAX and I went for it. That's +35 for the day, which is great considering the fact the volume was very low due to the long weekend.

I'm done for the week. Happy Easter all, I hope you guys have a great long weekend. Safe travels.

Lets see what happens at 2081? break or boost.... Tuesdays tend to be bullish futures ticking higher as NY wakes up and heads to work. No real news events on the scheduled calendar and the market has shrugged the bearish technicals that reviewed.
So from a 1H view point... Is that a bull-flag? We'll find out soon.

Afternoon JimmyC.

I hope everyone had a good long weekend.

The PA this morning has been pretty shitty to say the least. Let's hope the US session will get things going for the week.

It seems to be getting a bit busier now...

Does anyone have access to a volume indicator for the DAX?

I'm not a bear.... but if you went long 455xx.xx . I suggest, it might be time to take some off the table, the RSI is currently capping price, The S&P doesn't look too good either. FOMC initially caused an equity sell-off but then it went in the opposite direction. Concern now will be so did they say June or July? Everyone thinks June.... Lets see.

As always trade safe.
