Hello All! Great thread, really great!

Can someone please explain what the SHI_SilverTrendSig is in fact signalling/measuring?

Does anyone know how to add an alert to the 5/9 corssover indicator. That would be helpful.

Method works well, like all methods you have to be very careful around news and be aware when the market is whipsawing (like last Friday morning! EST).
There is an alert on the dot appearing. (Post #127) I tried it and did not like it, so I took it off. However, once your get a set up you better be near your computer and ready to go. The cross has happened on the next bar and usually happens in the next 2 or 3 bars. Why would you need an alert? You know when the bars are going to close depending on the time frame you are trading. When the cross happens you better be there clicking your mouse.

Don't depend on an alarm to wake you up. You snooze you loose.

Hey , I have a simple question. What if the yellow line comes first before the dot, arrow, cci cross and ma cross...Is it safe for me to trade?
That is not the system. Read the orginal PDF on Post #1. The signals happen in order. The NonLag MA has been replaced with 5/9 MA for the final signal to execute the trade. (That is what I use now)

1. Dot appears
2. CCI cross before or on 5/9 cross
3. 5/9 cross
4. trade

This is a good questions and one I had for judex001 when he got back Tuesday. I have found out that there is a list of over 450 custom indicators on another forum here at FF. SHI_SilverTrendSig is on that list. We may not know where it came from. I hope some one reading this furom can shed some light on what the SHI_SilverTrendSig is.

In the US trading Europe, I would like to get the alert on the MA crossover rather than the dot appearance. This will be for the 30 min indicator. The other day I used an alert on price and missed about 25 pips by missing the cross over.

So I did snooze and lose!

It is from this thread at forex-tsd, by a programmer named Igorrad.

OK, I have the FX Snipper on my custom indicators list(MT4 platform) but when I click on it I can't get it to go onto my chart. Even the Interbank FX help desk can't tell me how to get it on the chart. All I get is a box that allows me to change the color of the indicator but when I click on OK, nothing happens. Any suggestions? Thanks

Have you by any chance loaded a lot of indicators in your folder?
Try to clean out some you will not need, to another folder. It seems there is a limit on the number of indicators in the custom indicator folder for MT4. I have found this by trial and error.

Hope it works.

I loaded only the three indicators needed for this trading strategy (nonLagMaV4,shi_silvertrendsig andFx Sniper erg cci)and only the Sniper went through to the custom indicator list. Can't figure why Siper indicator wont go on my chart when I click on it.

I'm assuming you have done this.

  1. Unzip files as necessary.
  2. Put them in C:/Program Files/MetaTrader/Experts/Indicators
  3. Restart MeteTrader program.
  4. From Insert menu, click Indicators, Custom and then you should find the indicators you downloaded in the list. Just click on one of them and change the setting as necessary.
  5. Repeat the process #4 two more times and you're done!

Then click on the chart to highlight it. Go to the very top menu and select Charts>Indicator List. See if your three custom indicators are list on that chart.

I went to that post you gave and they only talked about the NonLagMA. The question was for the SHI_SilverTrendSig. Where did that come from? (It is the little Dot we see on the chart. Did the same person write it?

Tortoise,
I've done every thing on your list, the sniper comes up on the custom indicator list and when I click on it ,it doesnt go onto my chart. Maybe I haven't downloaded it properly.The other two indicators (shi_s and NonLagMaV4) didn't come over to the custom ind. list with the sniper cci but I would think the snipper should go onto my chart since it's on the list. I'm really looking forward to trying this strategy after I get these indicators on my platform. Any other ideas? Thank you

Why did you replace the NonLag MA?

I'm a novice coder and I have put together an EA based the tiatomi method. I''m not sure how well it perform over time, but it did place the first order in the correct entry point. I used 2 SMA lines instead of the NonLagMA_v4 indicator. I could not get a workable code signal from this indicator.

Attached is Bogie_tiatomi_v1.0 EA and SHI_SilverTrendSIG red/blue dot indicator. Also attach to chart two SMA indicators. Set 1 for red and period=5 and one for white and period=9. I use white, instead of blue, for 9 SMA line as for me it is easier to see on black background chart.

H4 chart - right now only tested on gbp/usd. Can not backtest as timer for when Bar closes only works when EA is attached to chart.

Order sequence
Buy
1. SHI_SilverTrendSig indicator red dot appears.
2. Then after 1, EA waits until MA 5 cross above MA 9
3. Then after 1 & 2, EA waits until current Bar closes.

Close Buy when red dot is replaced by next blue dot.

Sell
1. SHI_SilverTrendSig indicator blue dot appears.
2. Then after 1, EA waits until MA 5 cross below MA 9
3. Then after 1 & 2, EA waits until current Bar closes.

Close Sell when blue dot is replaced by next red dot.

I may add when MA crosses back as part of close code. Dot color change or MA reverse cross. Either one would close order. But I think the dot color change always come first.

The UD = 1 is for red dot and UD = -1 is for blue dot. I may take this out as you can see when the red or blue dot appears.

Wackena regarding this on your EA! Appreciate your posting and working on this.

3. Then after 1 & 2, EA waits until current Bar closes.

If we use the 4 hour chart would it not be better, to skip the step 3 and just buy and or sell upon completion of step 2 the cross?. I realize that this may be better for the 1H chart as it may be better to wait for completion of the Bar, but on the 4 Hour, this appears to wait to long to either enter or exit?

Any opinions regarding the 4H chart ?

This is where experience from this thread comes in. To answer your question, I just don't know if H1 would be better than H4. I'm running on H4 gbp/usd demo as of today. i will also start a H1 to see the difference.
