Yay, i'm all for learning Any idea regarding the ridiculously fat histogram happening with timeframe changes?

So it is feasible? If you can just point me in the right direction i'm more than happy to take a crack at it myself. Trust me you've done MORE than enough as it is and I am indeed grateful

Strange, for the histogram whenever I change timeframe the bars bloat out to fill the entire candle then I have to restart Metatrader before it will go back to being thin again. I don't have anything specifying width on the code anymore Only thing ...

I'm running vista 64 so i've had my share of really peculiar glitches, wasn't sure if it was a documented thing or not. Thanks for the hand with the histogram, your bull/bear indicator helped me figure out how to give it colour and some width to it ...

Hey DaveL, Just a quick question regarding aesthetics with this thing. You wouldn't be able to tell me why the arrow style changes for no apparent reason? I used to get the big hollow red and blue arrows but sometimes it changes to black tiny ...

It's fine as it is, I appreciate your work I really do. As it stands it is functional and matches up with my manual signals which saves me a bit of work as now I can just take a quick peek. Thank you

and because I haven't said it enough Thank you

Requesting programmer assistance with custom indicator

Heh, that's perfect thanks. Only thing is it possible to have the first arrow painted only when the criteria is met until the criteria gives a different signal? If that is too complicated that's fine, this is perfectly fine for me. I can follow ...

The triggering condition for stochastic is cross and then when everything else meets up, i.e. in that box the stochastic has crossed but nothing else meets up with it until a few bars later which would make it a valid signal. To signal the start of ...

Requesting programmer assistance with custom indicator

Perhaps it is coded upon the first crossing of stochastic and everything else meeting up? To me that seems a valid sell signal because stochastic is heading down. The cross happened a few bars back but to me the signal would still be valid. I should ...

Requesting programmer assistance with custom indicator

In the picture I attached above the outlined box should have a sell signal in this, signals for me are %K and %D crossing Do you not think there should be a signal there? Again I am only operating on my interpretation, the code is most likely right ...

Requesting programmer assistance with custom indicator

Bah, that can't be right. Some sell signals are smack on the cross and some a few bars after and some don't exist at all even if the signal persists for 5 more bars.

Requesting programmer assistance with custom indicator

Had to duck out for 5 minutes, perhaps it is my interpretation of stochastic crossing? To me that just means one line is over another, do stochastic calculation for cross apply only to when the signal crosses a few bars previous?

Requesting programmer assistance with custom indicator

No, you understood them perfectly fine. I couldn't simplify them much more anyway. It just seems odd that SOME signals are registered and some aren't, the stochastic settings are the same on my chart as they are in the indicator. same mode too i'm ...

Requesting programmer assistance with custom indicator

One of the things i've just found is that sell signals seem to be not registering properly but all the buy ones are spot on. There are some sell signals but there are some points where I can see that one should register but it isn't. It seems to be ...

Requesting programmer assistance with custom indicator

Wow, thanks. I don't suppose there is anything I could offer in return? As I said I am aware it is a simple piece of code but it means the world to me, simplifies a LOT

Requesting programmer assistance with custom indicator

Sorry for being unclear. The initial trigger yes for stochastic would be a cross in a certain direction, I would like the signal to be triggered exactly when the cross happens. I sort of omitted the fact that it would nice (if at all possible) to ...

Requesting programmer assistance with custom indicator

Well the way i'm operating on is the signal given on an open bar but i'm fairly sure the default calculation for AC/AO and Stochastic is based on the previous bar. I would prefer the stochastic cross signal given instant though and I can decide from ...

Requesting programmer assistance with custom indicator

no idea — Can anyone show me how to edit this code so I can add AO to it? I want the indicator to operate based on AO, AC and the relevant stochastic cross but I have no idea where to begin. I've scoured forums and several e-books but they are ...
