Mladen, (; - looks like something missing, is it ACodeError?

dem, his code getting shorter and shorter - i'm very unhappy
now i don't even know what is it (what i'm stealing), that's apsets me

see, with such hi-tec - how to achieve TrStr C effect (p.44):

To determine how much a market shows a trend-movement we will use the TrendStrength C

Indicator from the TrendStrength family (introduced above). This indicator was developed by José
Cruset and works similar as the TrendStrength A indicator but instead of comparing the price with
the price of various SMAs it counts how many SMAs are rising or falling. The higher its value (in
absolute terms) the more SMAs are rising and consequently the stronger is the trend. The higher the
indicator

Thanks for sharing.

seriously, with all hard coded in one f-la ("A") : ) - how to get "C" (p44 doc) : (

Nah, no error

As of short - not short enough. The ideal would look something like this :

PHP Code:


			
while(myWelth<3*WarrenBuffetsWelth) makeMeSomeMoreMoney();

but when I write it metatrader complains (can you imagine that

)

Looking for slopes of MA instead for difference between price and MA. So : if iMa(,..,i)>iMa(,...,i+1) total++ and if iMa(,..,i)<iMa(,...,i+1) total--. For speeding up maybe some more code would be needed, but that is the essence

_____________________________

PS: Ultra trend does the same slope comparing thing only it uses JMA for that and it's representation is a bit different, so it would be interesting to find out exactly the origin of that "slope" idea (I am not sure that it is Jose Cruset's original idea)

if i knew what is it :
for (; masPeriod<=Mas.End; masPeriod+= Mas.Step, masCount++)
- i would allready did it

(just two words explain(it's not a programminf thread, but...) - please, Mladen

like this
A:

for (; masPeriod<=Mas.End; masPeriod+= Mas.Step, masCount++)
{
double ma = iMA(NULL,0,masPeriod,0,Mas.Type,Price,i);
if (price > ma) total++;
if (price < ma) total--;
}
MasTrendBuffer[i] = 100.00*total/masCount;

C:

for (; masPeriod<=Mas.End; masPeriod+= Mas.Step, masCount++)
{
double ma0 = iMA(NULL,0,masPeriod,0,Mas.Type,Price,i);
double ma1 = iMA(NULL,0,masPeriod,0,Mas.Type,Price,i+1);
if (ma0 > ma1) total++;
if (ma0 < ma1) total--;
}
MasTrendBuffer[i] = 100.00*total/masCount;

p.s. thanks, Mladen ( though i still have no idea what "for (; " means - and you don't wanna tell nobody : (((((((

The idea is simple : compare a price to a series of moving averages. For more details about it (not just about it) please read the attached document by Jose Cruset. In general, values above 60 and below -60 are considered as strong trend.

Is there a reason you didn't plot the level lines at 60, 0 and -60?

Simple code:

Code:

#property indicator_level1 60.0
#property indicator_level2 0.0
#property indicator_level3 -60.0
 
#property indicator_levelcolor Gray
