Mastering Swing Trading using Market Framework

Is your yellow box based on the piercing pattern found on the M30 timeframe? Reading through the thread, I thought you mentioned that these boxes are based on HTF engulfings? Any further explanation would be appreciated! Many thanks. image

Indicator for identifying ranging condition

>Pips and minutes are taken for each candle Maybe you could explain the above further? Candles provide the pip range over time (minutes) by default. How do you want this to interact with what RiskFighter is providing? Maybe some high-level ...

Indicator for identifying ranging condition

Hey RiskFighter, I'll assume that as you are now only posting the .ex4 file, you no longer want any further help/critique with the code. That's totally fine but just wanted to make the point in case you had overlooked what you said in post #1 about ...

Indicator for identifying ranging condition

Hey RiskFighter, I've attached a slightly refactored version of your indicator. It uses the recommended "OnCalculate" handler as opposed to "start". Also, if you set "strict" on (recommended), your code fails because you aren't taking into account ...

Indicator for identifying ranging condition

The main point is that you were originally thinking of making an indicator that was designed to do one thing into an EA that does another. If the EA you have found was built to do what you want, then you have a much better solution whether it's free ...

MT4 Order Plugin: Trade by lines with risk based lot sizing

I develop MT4/MT5 indicators/EAs (for my own use) but when not using a specific trading strategy specific EA, I actually use a really good Trade Manager EA from the MQL5 marketplace. Personally, I wouldn't bother trying to convert something like ...

MT4 Order Plugin: Trade by lines with risk based lot sizing

You say "we would have a solid indicator". If the above calculator is an indicator (I haven't looked at or in the zip file), it cannot be modified to actually execute an order unless it is converted into an EA, as only EA's can execute market ...

How have you calculated your swing - what are your swing rules?

Predicting swing tops and bottoms in any time frame

Gann's system in this regard relies on the continuation of price according to the swing bar rules. The only thing you know for sure is that if you are in an upwave, the current bar might be the last high or price might climb higher. Thereafter, if ...

Predicting swing tops and bottoms in any time frame

Hey @greenbro, I use a Gann swing indicator that I use to get highs/lows according to Gann's consecutive highs/lows approach. I've posted a chart below that shows a two-bar swing but, you can go from a 1 bar swing to quite literally as many bars as ...

Predicting swing tops and bottoms in any time frame

I checked out your MQL4 framework on Github, very nice too! Did you build the framework to facilitate the creation of the custom indicators you have listed in the project? One of the things that for me, is perplexing in MQL4/5 is, (amongst other ...

SuperBars: Higher timeframe bars with CME session support

Hey Emmzett, Great thread! Just to get this clear, you basically trade your standard spot market pair(s) (FX, Gold, Oil etc) but do it in the CME Futures and Derivates trading session period, drawn in the lemon colour in the higher timeframe ...

SuperBars: Higher timeframe bars with CME session support

I took another look at GU/H4. I can see a clearer effect of the multiple offset. The first image below is -16 on each channel. image Now see the "1970" standard offsets below. You can see a much clearer curve that gives more information as to what ...

Analysis and Trading based on Envelopes, Waves, Cycles

Here are a couple of screenshots of GU/M1 with the two types of channel offset setups. I think I'm actually starting to prefer version 2 which is where each channel is offset by half of its MA value. image image

Analysis and Trading based on Envelopes, Waves, Cycles

I drew the VTLs earlier creating the wedge that when broken gave you your direction (if you didn't realise the pair was bearish!). Really nice example and the channels seem to make trading the M1 a lot easier for some reason. I can toggle between a ...
