Technical Indicators - page 14

I've got an indicator that's very similar to other indicators I've written, all of them running super-simple algorithms (90% of the code or more is just about getting the data in) that calculate the slope of another indicator's values between two bars, a simple Y2 - Y1 for a user-selectable period

I'm just genuinely interested in your opinion. What is it which makes an indicator a freebie, and what is it which makes an indicator have a cost attached to it

In your opinion...most effective way to find the areas of noise and consolidation by means of technology? What comes to mind is the ATR, and basic volume analysis, but I'd like to know your opinion

Wish all happy beginning of the week. I have following structure and want to use its information in the Indicator Buffer(s). To my understanding indicator buffers are allowed only of 'double' type. Is there any work around to what I want to achieve? struct SFxSession { CENUM_FxSESSION_ID

A few years ago, I found a very strange phenomenon in the process of writing MT5 indicators ->> Let me first talk about my code entry process: 1. The refresh of controls written by MT5 will flicker. When I started writing the trading assistant panel, I found that when I used the CANVAS sketchpad to

Hi Does anyone know of an order flow volume indicator for MT4 that shows the buyers and sellers within each bar like this one for Ninjatrader?

Hi all, For some strange reason, the buffer wd[i] returns INF indefinitely. Ive normalized the digits but its still giving an INF value. Can someone pinpoint the error in the code? Will be greatly appreciated. Thank you. int i = ( int ) MathMax (prev_calculated- 1 , 1 ); for (; i<rates_total; i++){

This was introduced in a recent update, didn't used to work like this. When I'm debugging, I'm focused on the problem at hand. Filling the screen with variables that are irrelevant to the problem just amounts to noise. I delete all the ones I don't want, but the very next F10 puts them all right

hi, a cool indicator Tick_on_Chart i all TimeFrames :cool: only Live Tick !!!

I would like to use the classes derived from CIndicator (CiMA, CiStochastic etc) but have had no success. The code below always shows DBL_MAX #include <Indicators/trend.mqh>CiMA extMA;int OnInit()&nbsp;&nbsp;{ extMA.Create(Symbol(),Period(),10,0,MODE_SMA,PRICE_CLOSE);...

Good Morning Please I would like to know what code to type for putting a MA on Stochastic indicator . I want a MA that will be in the second indicator windows with the stochastic indicator. And when the MA will crossover and close below the sell zone or the buy zone of the stochastic indicator it

I'm talking about oscillator based indicators, and by normalization I mean that the plot is in a stable range and the 0.00 level remains directly in the center of the window. My knowledge is limited on this, but I figured out that if you have a plot ranging from a negative value to a positive value

The follow indicator was modified to works in MTF But it makes the graphic slow and freeze Any body have a ideia how to avoid it ? #property copyright "Copyright © 2015" //---- indicator version number #property version "1.00" //---- drawing the indicator in the main window #property

I've seen one for mt4 which I use and it's really nice and simple and even free. Just surprised I can't find the same for mt5. Anyone know of one

I have made an indicator that will show me valid highs and lows following a certain logic. But when after a while (maybe some hours) when i have it on the chart it will start to do weird things, draw lines that shouldn't be drawn, or delete certain line without any logic behind it. I have used the

Hello, By reading through this website i am trying to make a (hopefully) very simple indicator. This is for learning purposes as I am a total beginner. My first step is that I want to store the closing price in a variable at a specific time. Later on I want to compare this closing price to a closing

I've got two indicators I'm experimenting with, having not plotted a histogram before. The first one works but was just fooling around to make sure I got the color side of things right. The second one is set up just like the first one in the relevant areas, but doesn't work. Code for the one that

This one is for those that use metatrader 5 Metatrader 5, unfortunately, did some things that hardly are logical. One of the things done by it is that builtin averages (and all the other builtin indicators) are not functions any more. That is as big a nonsense as it can get. Instead of making...

I have noticed that this level indicator on chart causes bad price lagging when US market opens and trading activity steps in. How to reduce the number of lines so that lines are drawn only in the active screen? At the moment lot of lines will be drawn. #property indicator_chart_window #property

Hi every body, I have wrote an custom Indicator (A) like zigzag, and it works fine, however the problem is when I call it in to another custom Indicator(B) it refers "2.781888206090574e-308" for empty values. As an example, A(10)= empty values, means the value of Indicator "A" in candle "10" is

Problem ObjectName() does not work as per the object list index. I wrote a script to display the names of all objects on the chart in the new order on the terminal, referring to the documentation of ObjectName(), but it does not work in the order of the object list.

Hi Writing my first EA, steep learning curve but managed to get so far with it using various online sources to sort through most issues. Come across a few issues when using the PVT indicator that I can't explain or find the answers to. EA is running ok but results are not correct and what I have

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.

Hi everyone, before you throw the handbook on me and send me away, please, I confirm that I have tried and done all the research possible. Maybe I have a simple misunderstanding in my edited code, but I can't figure it out alone. 1.) i took the ALMA Indicator V2 and all I wanted to do is to add the

hi. i want to calculate iStdDev on excel, so i tried to compare iStdDev value and my calculated value. at first, simply period=2 and increases 3, 4... SMA is no problem, but LWMA is not equal. (there is a correlation) Maybe EMA and SMMA are different too. so I wondered why. *calculation accuracy is

I made a simple candlestick chart in the separate window (DRAW_COLOR_CANDLES). I wanted to make a moving average in the same window, but when the buffers have very different values it causes the candlestick chart to scaled down so much that you can't see it anymore. Is it not possible to do what I'm
