Hi great coders @simplex, @xux99, @lowphat, and others …

I have a beginner question. Is it possible to define our own MA applied_price ??
As we see the formula for calling MA is : https://docs.mql4.com/indicators/ima
And the applied price is : https://docs.mql4.com/constants/indicatorconstants/prices#enum_applied_price_enum

@simplex, @xux99, @lowphat or other coders ….
I am stuck with iStochastic. Actually it is simple, but as a beginner in coding, i still can not find the solution to call the Stochastic line value with setting X,1,1  …

for (i=limit; i>=0; i–) {
stoMain  = iStochastic(Symbol(),0,14,1,1,MODE_SMA,1,MODE_MAIN,i);
stoSignal = i…

@TraderTM: Oh, I’ve thought you use another method. However, do you use an indicator to spot those stochastic differences? If so, would you plase share a picture of it. Which TFs do you screen to obtain signals? Which stochastic settings do you use? How exactly do you trade it/interpret the signals?

Attached you can find my indicator (a simple…[Read more]

Hi @Lowphat,

not really. About 99.9 % of videos on candlesticks only describe how they look like, but only a small fracture give some hints what else is important. Think I never saw a good video on inside bars/engulfings. But imho some articles from fxkeys.com are worth to read, e.g.

this, and that on the inside bar as well as
this, and that…[Read more]

Agree:

The one @Lowphat has posted is giving the same signals as my current WIP version. So as long as we’re using iCustom to test why not take that one?

It should be possible to derive a function for direct EA use from only one of our approaches, no matter which one. The logic of the algorithm demands to keep track of current and previous…[Read more]

What about the one posted by @Lowphat here which is already part of the v.1.2 ?

When forward testing I didn’t notice any repainting, and peak through areas match with simplex indicator so the logic should be also good.

Anybody agrees or disagrees?

V.

Thanks  VlanFx !!

Remarks to v1.2:

SwingPeriod – Not needed

Missing functions before main logic:

FFCAL -> avoid trading before and after news (default 30 min.)

Max. Spread -> Don’t trade if Spread >max.

Trading Hours -> trade only from StartHr (int) to EndHr (int)

TradeOnMonday -> allow trading on Monday (true/false)

TradeOnFriday -> a…[Read more]

The above is the main reason why I want to use iCustom with visual indicator instead of MQH lib.

The MQH can come later, when everything is stable.

@smallcat  yes. on dropping sx_ClearMethod on the history tester with the “visual” option and running forward the bars are not colored correctly but the history is perfect when you first drop the indicator on the visual mode.

in real-time (not history tester) it runs perfect so far.

could be a problem on my end though

@Lowphat : May i know what do you mean with “anomalies” ? Could you please explain it ? Did you test the indicator via strategy tester, and check the “visual” option to see how the indicator works on history data (and in realtime too) ? Thanks

Hi all,

Came back from the weekend and see great posts

I saw @Lowphat posted in the ‘chat’ thread an indicator that is according to GG53 rules regarding the peak-throughs so I updated the EA.  Place the ClearMethod.mq4 inside ‘Indicator’ folder.

Thanks @Lowphat for contributing.

The entry is still at the bar ‘Close’ and places Stops at…[Read more]

Hah, interesting:

We were working on the same thing. I found it over here, including a good pdf description.

@Lowphat: I’m currently debugging my CLEAR function, so you might save some work and wait for mine … or … see who’s faster!

@gg53: is your P&T identical to Clear Method or only similar?

I followed G.’s proposal over here and…[Read more]

@tankhang:

This indicator keep on ‘shouting’.. I guess that is the problem..

Not really – this is caused by the bug, but it’s not the reason for the bug.

@Lowphat:

all the loops seem odd.

I don’t think so!

prev_calculated == 0 still seems strange.

No, this if is intended to perform calculations that only should run when loading the indicator, and…[Read more]
