  1. If you have the source MQ4 you can do it yourself. It is really easy. If you only have the ex4 it will need to be decompiled first.

     

    Example: look for this near the top of the code

    (Specimen code)

    SetIndexBuffer(0, MovingAverageOne);

    SetIndexStyle(0, DRAW_LINE, STYLE_SOLID, 1);

     

    Then insert a space between the lines so you can add something like this:

     

    SetIndexLabel(0,"Signal MA One");

     

    If there are several buffers in use and you want more labels to show in DataWindow, add SetIndexLabel(1,"Signal MA Two"); SetIndexLabel(2,"Signal MA Three"); etc.

     

    Good luck. pm me if you have a problem. It's really only about 30 seconds work (and I would not accept any $ for it)

  2. I wish I could help more but Elliot Waves never worked for me, even though I read lots of e-books and joined an EW dedicated site (forgot name). I tried another indicator called "EWPro" (don't have it anymore) for a while and it will plot all the letters and numbers. Maybe you can search on that string i.e. "EWPro". I wish I could help more but my EW interest phase was more than 2 years ago.
  3. There was a video about it but I guess that's disappeared now. There was no documentation with this but it will do as you ask. You have to fiddle with where to locate the various "legs" for the extensions to be perfomed. I always found Elliot Wave great in retrospect but never in the "now" moment.

  4. Just catching up on posts .... (thanks for your kind words yogesheena). mtuppers - the indicator was a MACD. Absolutely nothing special about it except its name implied it was something unique and special. It turned out to be almost identical to mladen's free one. I sent yogesheena mladen's MACD and a couple of other similar MACD indicators for him to choose which suit his needs best and he is pleased. Happy to have helped a peer. I'm surprised the link is down but honestly, it was inferior to others freely available except they don't have the "Black Dog" title to suggest it is something special.
  5. I use it in conjunction with Stochastic and a Bulls'nBears indicator. When the Demand Index is above 0 the market is bullish. It responds to change very quickly. I have incorporated it into an EA (I guessed the buffers to address) and it is a great filter. But .... because this one doesn't refresh, I have to constantly manually do this. I have searched very hard for a replacement and my gut feeling is this one is worth exploring more.
  6. Hello,

     

    This indicator is Sibbet's Demand Index. It is a leading indicator and is available in MQ5 and on several other platforms except MT4.

    Even this copy was hard to find. It works very well except it needs to be refreshed to update. Is there some kind person that can decompile and examine the code to get it refreshing? It is worth the effort - it is a good leading indicator.

  7. Tomas, I can't think of a single EA that consistently makes money. They all seem to be great at losing our money. I'm sure I have wasted over USD1000 on buying the next latest and greatest. No more! I learned.

     

    The best way to trade in Forex is to learn to trade manually or find a good reputable source for clone trading (replicating their trades). It took me 4 years to come to this conclusion. You can also consider semi-automated trading using scripts and money manager type EA's. These are the only ways I can keep my account balance and grow it.

  8. Just copy between the +-----------+ at the top and +-----------+ at the bottom. Then paste into any text editor like Notepad and "Save-As" RSI_MA Cross Histo.mq4 in your MT4 Experts | Indicators folder. Then load this file in MetaEditor (F4) and click the compile button. Restart MT4 and it's all done. Hope this helps. Try it. It is easy to do and a good learning experience for you.
  9. I like it but I noticed in the Experts tab there are errors: "SFFILTER_V2 USDJPY,H4: series array cannot be initialized" I overcame the account number authorisation in both indicators by changing the value to match the MT4 account but this series array not initialising is an issue. Anyone else noticed this? Is there a solution? Can anyone help here?
  10. I am a great believer in lower leverage. When I had my account with 1:100 leverage the gains were better but the losses were painful. Somehow reducing the leverage to 1:50 left me far more relaxed as trades going against me were not so punishing in dollar-terms and I could hang in there longer (as long as I believe the trade will return to the direction I had envisioned). This transformed my trading. I only have one (sometimes a 2nd negative or positive highly-correlated pair) trade open at any time.

    For example, if I am long EURUSD this will be my only trade but if it looks to be going well, I will often short USDCHF aswell. Similarly If I am long EURJPY, I often go long USDJPY aswell. Never more than 2 open trades

     

    You can check correlation here hxxp://www.forexticket.co.uk/en/tools/01-01-correlation - look for consistency across H1, D1 and preferably W1 too.

     

    I hope this helps add value to this thread (which is a great idea to have running)

  11. Klod, I hope you don't mind me asking questions. I have another: In the "ordersendm" section there are two references to "symb". I can't see any other references to symb and was wondering if it is meant to be symbole? I am a novice coder and am always keen to learn new techniques. I can't see the function of symb when normally I would expect to see Symbol() or your variable "symbole"
  12. my apologies - I noticed too late. I should have edited the post and asked my other question: there is an EA called Apache Trader which is quite similar to Strat. It has a feature where you can enable additional pending orders "y" pips (intervals if more than one additional) above / below the original "x" pips. I guess the trade management would be getting quite complex though? I look forward to the market opening tomorrow for some more forward testing. Hope your weekend is going well. It's finished here in NZ lol
