It seems that David Stendahl can not help him self Where his name appears "attached" to some indicator or TA way, it sure is worth trying it out and studying it. The basis for these were originally published in the Stocks & Commodities July 1996 issue (attached the original article here). Do not be...

I have a simple indicator that I use a lot in coding and testing, called BarID. Its intent is: for any bar you point to on a chart, to give you both its AsSeries = true and AsSeries = false index values, along with the best I could do to show its date and time, given all that's available are type

On top of it all, the statements were working fine when I was asking just for close price. As soon as I added time, it started throwing up. 1005 double daNowPrce[]; 1006 datetime dtaNowPrce[]; 1007 ResetLastError (); 1008 1009 double dNowPrce = 0 ; 1010 1011 int

I have a signal indicator that should make an arrow on the LL or HH for any timeframe, but it repaints frantically like a rabid racoon on crack cocaine.

Hello, Can anyone kindly add push notification alert when price cross below or over on previous day closed on bar closed? Appreciate your kind gesture. Thank you. D

My knowledge of the mql5 programming language is minimal. But I wrote a simple custom indicator, the task of which is to display arrows near candles that meet certain conditions. First, all points with index i are found that satisfy the condition high[i]>high[i-1] && high[i]>high[i+1] (or low)

Hi guys, I don´t know what else to do now, so I ask for a bit of help. I´ve been struggling for several days now. I´m rewriting a MQL4 indicator that I created into MQL5.

I am trying to customize ichimoku cloud in MT5 to better fit the volatility of cryptocurrencies. Default Ichimoku cloud in MT5 allows changing the Tenkan (conversion line), Kijun (base line) and Senkou span B (Leading line 2).

This one burned a full three days dogging it. I've been trying to call this iCustom indicator. No matter what I do, it keeps returning zeros -- no data. I've coded these many times before and haven't had a problem. What's been more mind-boggling, the indicator works just fine when added to a chart

I've written an indicator for the Ulcer Performance Index, also known as the Martin Ratio. It works, but on chart refresh, it often doesn't recalculate and update the display correctly. I used code from the Ulcer Index to try to prevent constantly recalculating the whole thing, but it still has
