Here is a sample MQL4 function that will return the day of the 3rd Monday; if you provide the MQ4 file for your trader assistant, perhaps some programmer would be kind enough to modify it. for (int year=2000; year<2031; year++) Print("Third Monday ...

Handy MQL4 utility functions

I found a suitable dashboard indicator in my archive, and made a couple of quick mods. I followed your instructions, i.e. a decrease (CHF[1]>CHF[0]) in RSI is bullish (green up arrow), an increase is bearish (red down arrow). Just change the ...

I will code your EAs and Indicators for no charge

I'm running a 32" TV monitor on 1920x1080 resolution, and when zoomed out fully there's approx 1,700 candles across my chart, but I can't see any detail (the open/close on the candle bodies, for example), because each candle is only 1 pixel wide. If ...

Zooming more than default maximum in MT4

I downloaded and attached the indicator. Didn't notice any undue slowness, but fwiw it seems that it doesn't pick up the same turning points as MT4's Zigzag, despite having the same settings (see screenshot). Perhaps the slowness is because you have ...

indicator makes metatrader too slow

I assume the formula hasn't changed since 2006. Hence I compiled the indicators in posts 2 and 5 using this and obtained the attached EX4s. Don't use camarillas myself so I didn't bother to test them. Also did a Google search "camarilla pivots mt4" ...

Camarilla pivot

Don't know if this is still relevant to you, but a similar repainting issue (albeit with different indicators) was reported in this thread. I believe it's happening for much the same reason. It occurs because a MTF indicator that's being refreshed ...

Plot long/short retail positions (from myfxbook) on MT4 chart

I'm running the attached version of the indicator (should be the same as that in post #1) on MT4 build 1170 with the settings shown below. It has worked fine for me for many years, just like in the screenshot. Logically, if you're using the same ...

CSM indicator (hanover)

PSA sorts and prints the relative steepness of each pair's price plot, and then summarizes them by currency. Each printed value has no absolute significance in itself; the values are based on regression line slopes calculated from the settings that ...

Pair Strength Analyzer indicator

I'm replying to the quoted post, but also to anybody else who's totally bored interested.......... I'll leave post #320 intact, as it contains some good info, but this new post effectively supersedes it. I've updated the 'Convert news to GMT' app. ...

Hi, Thanks for your kind words. Nobody has replied, so I will give you my opinion, albeit as a programmer rather than a pro trader. The screenshot shows the parameters I tend to use. The highlighted ones, which control the calculation, are explained ...

CSM indicator (hanover)

hey Hay, It makes sense when I think about it. Suppose I want to buy EURAUD, which means that I'm 'selling' AUD to buy EURos at the EURAUD rate; but if my deposit currency is USD, then I need to somehow convert enough USD in my account to ...

Calculation of Money from entry and exit of a trade..and more

Hayseed, TICKSIZE is always constant, as far as I know, and is generally the same as POINT (except in rare instances, as emmzett points out. I hadn't previously encountered this, as I tend to work only with the majors). I believe the reason for the ...

Calculation of Money from entry and exit of a trade..and more

Thanks for the heads-up, but in that case I think your calculation should read: PL = priceDiff / MODE_TICKSIZE * MODE_TICKVALUE * volume Can you please confirm? Dividing by both POINT and TICKSIZE doesn't seem right to me. Although the inflated ...

Calculation of Money from entry and exit of a trade..and more

Hi, This is a known limitation with the software. There are hundreds of countries in the world, all with different daylight saving rules. Some countries, like USA and Australia, span multiple timezones, and different regions have different rules; ...

Calculation of Money from entry and exit of a trade..and more

Below is a screenshot taken just now (the references to Wilder's DMI book refer to an indicator loaded on another chart). [EDIT] I'm not 100% sure what is causing the "PSA: cannot open file" error, but I suspect it might be because I have two ...

Pair Strength Analyzer indicator

Further to my previous post, I just attempted to run with your template, and still couldn't reproduce the error (see screenshot below). You could try using the .ex4 that I posted previously. So if we are both using the same version of the indicator ...

Pair Strength Analyzer indicator

Thanks for the heads-up. I'm using the attached version of the indicator (should be the same as the one attached to post #1); and also the MT4 version, and the parameters, shown in the screenshot below. I can't reproduce the error you're ...

The Dunning Kruger effect = the trader's learning curve Detailed info here: ("you don't know what you don't know"). I spent perhaps my first 5-6 years in the first section of the graph, climbing toward "I know everything", using simple, ...

Q&A about my free indicators in Platform Tech......

Please see the two edits I've made to post #312 (if you haven't already done so). Sorry about the confusion. I've uploaded another version of the zip file to post #1 which should fix everything, as explained in '[EDIT 2]' in post #312. Many thanks ...
