I've been attempting to modify the MACD MTF Bar indicator in two ways but can't seem to make it work. Any help much appreciated!!!!

1. Add the timeframes displayed to 5 min and daily as well as the existing 15,30,H1,H4
2. Use MAIN signal line above/below Slow signal line to colour the bars rather than the Main > than 0

"MAIN signal line above/below Slow signal line"
are you using two signal lines? but not double-smooze macd?
could you show on the chart what's the idea?

Hi

Yeah its a hybrid of the GMACD2 and the MTF MACDX indicators

so the bars are green if the Macd Fast > Macd Slow on each TF
and red vice versa

I wanted to have the bars showing in 6 TFs

Is this do-able?

You have three main problems with the way tht this indicator is written.
1. You haven't declared in the init section the num ber of buffers you are going to use.
2. You are using 12 buffers wheres MT4 only allows 8.
3. YOu are taking into account the time frame differences. That when displaying on a 5 minute chart the 15 minute TF is made up of three bars. So these 3 bars must be the same (ie stretched). At present each bar would be a value to a higher TF bar.

I will post an MTF MACD indicator that displays at the bottom of the chart, but allows correct MTF viewing of the MACD.

Due to buffer problems (Ie limit of 8) You can only have 6 TF's showing if you split your indicator into two seperate indicators. Also to display 6 TF's all as bars on the chart would be an absolute mess (this is why others haven't done it before). The best option and the one most widely used is the 3MTFMACDX approach of displaying a line for each Tf in one indicator.

If you want to modify 3MTFMACDX to display different TF's then you will need to modify so that you can have the user enter the desired TF's and then display twice. One for Higher TF's and one for Lower TF's.

Thanks for your two posts above
I have even less of a clue than I did before
I have too little programming ability to do something as advanced as this I see
didn't know there was a buffer limit
not that it would have made any difference as I was barking up the wrong tree from the off it seems like

so the way to proceed is with the same indicator twice in two sep windows?

I presume 1 window D1, H4, H1
and the other window M5,M15,M30,

is it still possible to make a bar indicator using the conditions of GMACD (the fast EMA above slow EMA < or > 0)?

thank you for your help

right, plane and simple - just use two indis (4+4 = 8timeframes)
(you can find planty MTF MACD Bars in this thread - choose any you like)

f-la for Macd in g-macd:

double macd_M1=iMACD(NULL,PERIOD_M1,FastEMA,SlowEMA,Signa lSMA,PRICE_CLOSE,MODE_MAIN,0);
double macd_MM1=iMACD(NULL,PERIOD_M1,FastEMA,SlowEMA,Sign alSMA,PRICE_CLOSE,MODE_SIGNAL,0);


trend criteria:

if ((macd_M5 > macd_MM5) && (macd_M1 > macd_MM1)) { trend_signal = "TREND/UP"; color_signal = Lime;}
//Down Data
if ((macd_M5 < macd_MM5) && (macd_M1 < macd_MM1)) { trend_signal = "TREND/DN"; color_signal = Red; }

//Consolidation Data
if ((macd_M5 < macd_MM5) && (macd_M1 > macd_MM1)) { trend_signal = "SIDEWAY"; color_signal = Orange; }
if ((macd_M5 > macd_MM5) && (macd_M1 < macd_MM1)) { trend_signal = "SIDEWAY"; color_signal = Orange; }

_______________

plain in English -
macd line >signal line = up or (osma>0)
macd < sig =down

if M1tf up and M5tf up - Trend Up
if all down - trend down
everything else - sideways


So - rules (algorithm) classical - same to all macds
if you use mtf Bar indi: colors much - go; doesn't - NOGO

Rolange,

The answers to your two questions, are Yes and Yes.

Yes you will need to split into 2 windows. 1 Window D1, H4, H1 other the other half.

And yes. It is possible to display bar indicator for GMACD.

If I have time I will post some more details.
