For those of you who have tried this indicator here is the improved version, I have cleaned up the code and you can now alter the HISTO width and the LINE width. Default HISTO set to 3 & LINES to 1 as per screen shot.

Hi CJA, I've been looking at Guppy for the very first time based on your version here. I have also tried to draw the Guppies on the pricechart window to no avail since my coding abilities are limited. Is it possible to just draw this indic on the chart window sans-MACD?

Any ideas welcome.

Thx and happy trading!

thanks for sharing.

Hi Cja.

I don't know if you are aware but if you had G#MACD.mq4 to some charts it puts MetaTrader at 100% CPU whenever you changed back to the profile.

Maybe you should add a maxbars variable to the calculations does not include all the data.

I've a Core 2 Quad cpu with 4GB RAM. I've 22" monitor and one profile with 9 charts (3x3) with a Guppy template (lots of MA's). Then I added G#MACD. When I open MetaTrader in this profile it goes 100% for quite some time.

I removed the G#MACD and it changes ok.

Thanks,

works fine on mine - cheep 2 year old; 17'' screen, 1gig ram
though nothing else really hooked up on it - just windows and MT
(normally 2-3 MT running, 20-30 charts open)
try this GMACD - different ind; but both has about same load (on mine)...

I presume you are talking about the G#MACD that shows the trend in a separate window at the bottom of your chart, there was an early version that was cpu intensive the version fxbs has supplied got around that problem, if you are using the standard G#MACD as in the above posts i have never had a cpu issue with that indicator.
