Hey Fellas,


I tried kiko v2 EA but it didnt work, the EA calls for the indicator "VQ". I just adjusted it in the EA to call for "VQforEA" and then it works fine. I think you could just rename the indicator from VQforEA to VQ. Good luck.

Thanks Mikerock,
I made corrections. It should work now.

the latest version is heavy.
I can't find the following scripts

> int counted_bars = IndicatorCounted();
> if (counted_bars>0) counted bars--;
> int pos = Bars - counted_bars--;

I'm not a programer. I can't edit it. But I think many bars are counted again and again, so the latest version is too heavy.

Teri,
You are right.
The solution is here, but the solution is also "heavy" - on you.

Scenario: 15m Chart + 60m VQ

If VQ gives a new signal (buy), you buy the past, because VQ does not validate the close of the 60m bar (4x15m bars).

No idea why this problem was not mentioned in more than 350 posts and 120480 views in more than 2 years, even the author itself hasn't noticed it.

MTF indicators are "continuing painting" H1 timeframe when M15 is already closed. It was discussed in this thread Multi Timeframe Indicators
As to me so I am always using this indicator with TimeFrame =0 settings (0 is current chart timeframe).
As I know it is deault settings.

For the traders that are interested by this indicator, the only expert advisor based on it, and that works well is available here :

You can discuss about the EA and gives your best parameters here :

Volatility Quality EA

funyoo,
You have put together an EA that appears to be solidly built for the real world, mechanically.
I suspect you use the same code for most of the EAs you build, which is fine.

However, If you are going to post an EA that ignores rather than builds on the work of those who came before, thus proving that you have not thoroughly read the last three pages of this thread, do not then claim you have "the only expert advisor based on it, and that works well".

For example: In post 319, I discussed the two bar lag by the VQ indicator when used by an EA, AND THE SOLUTION.
You have ignored this and thus continued the problem.

As the header in the EA says: "Copyright © 2007, Forex-Experts http://www.forex-experts.com",
this inattention to detail then puts the quality of your coding, your products, and your advice under serious suspicion.

Kiko_v2 was not intended to be a final VQI EA, but it has the possibly unique quality of often being profitable even though based on ONE indicator only.

There may be other issues you have ignored, but it is your job to find them.
Please do your homework before you claim that your work is superior.

So, what is the best indicator to see volatility?
Have you heard Damiani Volameter?
How about it?

Thx

This VQI indicator is really good!

It cannot be your only indicator, though. At least you need to consider which way price is moving, such as a couple MAs, or maybe directly.

For use in an EA it has to be revised to work well and efficiently.

I am still waiting for someone to explain the MTF aspect and how to use it?
