Re: Multi time frame indicator requested

 

I am mt4 novice bamik.

Can you please show me in code above where it calls SuperTrend.ex4

 

My friend when you making an MTF indicator from an indicator you need to have that base indicator in your folder indicator of MT4.

However,look at here that MTF indicator call base indicator:

buf_up1D[i] = iCustom(NULL, Period_4, "[size=150]SuperTrend[/size]", false, 1, y1d);
     buf_down1D[i] = iCustom(NULL, Period_4, "[size=150]SuperTrend[/size]", false, 0, y1d);
    
     if (i < 2)
     {
        SoundAlarm(buf_up1D[i] , iCustom(NULL, Period_4, "[size=150]SuperTrend[/size]", false, 1, y1d+1), 4, "Down");
        SoundAlarm(buf_down1D[i] , iCustom(NULL, Period_4, "[size=150]SuperTrend[/size]", false, 0, y1d+1), 4, "Up");
     }
     buf_up4H[i] = iCustom(NULL, Period_3, "[size=150]SuperTrend[/size]", false, 1, y4h);
     buf_down4H[i] = iCustom(NULL, Period_3, "[size=150]SuperTrend[/size]", false, 0, y4h);

     if (i < 2)
     {
        SoundAlarm(buf_up4H[i] , iCustom(NULL, Period_3, "[size=150]SuperTrend[/size]", false, 1, y4h+1), 3, "Down");
        SoundAlarm(buf_down4H[i] , iCustom(NULL, Period_3, "[size=150]SuperTrend[/size]", false, 0, y4h+1), 3, "Up");
     }
    
     buf_up1H[i] = iCustom(NULL, Period_2, "[size=150]SuperTrend[/size]", false, 1, y1h);
     buf_down1H[i] = iCustom(NULL, Period_2, "[size=150]SuperTrend[/size]", false, 0, y1h);
    
     if (i < 2)
     {
        SoundAlarm(buf_up1H[i] , iCustom(NULL, Period_2, "[size=150]SuperTrend[/size]", false, 1, y1h+1), 2, "Down");
        SoundAlarm(buf_down1H[i] , iCustom(NULL, Period_2, "[size=150]SuperTrend[/size]", false, 0, y1h+1), 2, "Up");
     }
    
     buf_up30M[i] = iCustom(NULL, Period_1, "[size=150]SuperTrend[/size]", false, 1, y30m);
     buf_down30M[i] = iCustom(NULL, Period_1, "[size=150]SuperTrend[/size]", false, 0, y30m);

     if (i < 2)
     {
        SoundAlarm(buf_up30M[i] , iCustom(NULL, Period_1, "[size=150]SuperTrend[/size]", false, 1, y30m+1), 1, "Down");
        SoundAlarm(buf_down30M[i] , iCustom(NULL, Period_1, "[size=150]SuperTrend[/size]", false, 0, y30m+1), 1, "Up");
     }
  }

Krishna, have a look and test this This is the work of xaphod If you have specific questions about the indicators or if you want mq4 indicators to make an EA, you have to ask him on his website.www.xaphod.com.

 

Now regarding so called "repainting".

MTF indicators will update/redraw all bars on the lower time-frame that represent the open higher time-frame bar until the higher time-frame bar closes. This is normal and expected behavior for an MTF indicator.

You can use the 'xSuperTrend Alert' Indicator to give alerts for any timeframe you wish. You will have to add it to your chart in addition to the xSuperTrend indicator you are using.

All bars on the chart associated with a higher time-frame bar that is open will continue to update with the current status of the higher time-frame supertrend until that bar closes. Krishna, I think it would be easier for you to understand the nature of MTF indicators and the repainting which it is often accused of, is to just remember "that MTF indicators update/redraw all bars on the lower time-frame that represent the open higher time-frame bar until the higher time-frame barcloses. This is normal and expected behavior for an MTF indicator." That's a quote from Xaphod himself.

Thanks Cash, reminds me of the XXX system hehe:)

The template file is handy too

 

Buddy boy,

Yes xSupertrendCandles is also used in the XXX system,but other than that everything else is different, in fact both systems complement each other!
