Maybe the Natural MA was covered in Video #2 of the seminar series – the missing one.

There are functional MQL prototypes you can analyze in the links I provided above.

I do not understand the term ‘argmax i (NMM)’. Basically, the fast NMA is an NMA that dynamically truncates its own weighted lookback interval, thus acting faster than Standard…[Read more]

Yep, just skip the esoterics! Later on in Ch. 12 some analogies between physical and trading aspects, which I usually look at a bit skeptically, are becoming interesting from a very remote point of view.

What instantly intrigued me was Jim’s imperative attempt to remove as much arbitrariness as possible from any indicator calculation. Ever…[Read more]

Yep, my first impression was very similar, several weeks ago.

Let me cite from Chapter 8, ‘The Zen Moment’:

This is why, in my opinion, it is advantageous to develop at least partially your own approach to markets. The Advanced Ocean Software that is part of the Ocean Master program is designed to give you a set of tools with which to develop…

Thanks and yes, this is how it works using iCustom …

But as G. wrote he’s seeking a solution without iCustom.

Ok. In this early CIX implementation, it’s not that easy.

First step might be to integrate functions

setAllCurrencyIndexBuffers
setAllRawValueBuffersResetting OR setAllRawValueBuffersContinuous (depends on what you prefer)
setAllSmoothedBuffers

in one single function, which can then be called multiple times to calculate the 1st…[Read more]

@gg53:

Long time no see – welcome back!

From earlier discussions I remember that you’re a real fan of iCustom() calls. So this would be the obvious and simple solution to try. I’m sure I don’t have to explain to you how this works.

If iCustom is not preferred this time, you might start looking at function OnCalculate(), lines 389 – 406.…[Read more]

Hi Lowphat!

Did you provide proper ‘symbol suffix’ input parameter? Looks like your account requires a ‘pro’ here.

Best, s.

Hi Thomas,

Both is possible.

If you would be able to create a ‘how to’ advice for setting up a working dll and integrating it into an mq4 project, I’d be very interested! From my personal point of view, an open source C compiler and open source development environment would be preferrable.

Best, s.

a) we must include current bar, although it is not finish yet …. agree

It depends on your specific indicator / EA logic, whether you decide to include the current bar or not.

b) In this case, if we want to keep the amount of bar to 1000 (if it is smaller than Bars-IndicatorCounted()  … ) , we need to begin with  i=limit-1  ?

Is it really import…[Read more]

Ahh, one more thing: with

for (int i=limit;  i>0;  i–)

the current bar won’t be calculated. Should be i >= 0

Hi Tom!

Did not look into your code in depth, yet I would suggest that you quit the old school standard of coding MT4 indicators ( int start()…   int init() ). The sooner, the better!

Some day MetaQuotes will stop supporting MT4, and you will be forced to recode every MQ4 code you have in MQ5. This will require much less work if you code y…[Read more]

Hi blueface,

That means the indicator should be able to display session specific candles?

@Anti: Thanks ‘for the flowers’, first of all!

Is it really necessary to align CIX with fundamental data?

Well, I’m not really sure. That’s why I started this discussion. One example: lately I aligned CIX output with some fundamentals like Central Bank Interest rates for all 8 CIX currencies, looking for some correlation. I found none.

Thus,…

Hi Frika,

Since you’re addressing me directly: I’ve never worked with Node.js, so only can wish you ‘Good luck’ in fixing those issues. Maybe you could also place your question in that thread:

And if you manage to fix it, that would definitely be worth to be posted, ok?

An interesting paper: Cointegration Analysis of Financial Time Series Data

Haven’t read it in detail yet, but looks promising (especially for our R specialists).
