Yaniv,

The Yurik version of the Fisher indicator does infact repaint the past. It is useless.

Please check this thread on this forum. Igorad and many other expert prgrammers were involved in trying to figure out this indicator in response Nina's original question about the repainting of some of the Fisher indicators available on the web.

Fisher

Please download the Fisher_m11.mq4 indicator in that thread near the end and then change the code in your EA to reflect this and test it and let us know if it works.

Sorry I dont, but I think there are a few versions out there that dont repaint, although you'll find that the signals from these are probably no better than RSI or stochastics, or even tossing a coin to determine a suitable entry.

Its probably worth spending a couple of hours watching your EA in real time to confirm, I usually drop indicators on the 1 min charts to watch out for them repainting, there's also a couple of good utilities around that will take screen captures every few minutes if you really cant be there to watch.

good luck with it, let us know how you get on

regards
mick

EA using others indicators

Hello all,

Is it possible to write an EA that takes it signals for trades based on someone elses closed source indicators?

I need to write an EA that is customized to the style that I trade so I can actually get some sleep and work and go to school and still make money with forex.

I don't have access to the source for the indicators, but they show visual keys on the chart.

Thank you,
Menelaus

The answer is Yes for about 98% of the indicators that end with .ex4. What you have to test is the buffers using the iCustom statement in your ea such as:

double PM1=0, PM1_1=0, PM1_2=0, PM2=0, PM2_1=0, PM2_2=0; //Initializes variable names

PM1=iCustom(NULL,0,"Price Channel",0,0); // Buffer 0, Shift 0 // Note: The Indicator Name (ex. "Price Channel") has to match the file name of the indicator - Case sensitive!
PM1_1=iCustom(NULL,0,"Price Channel",0,1); // Buffer 0, Shift 1 (1-Back)
PM1_2=iCustom(NULL,0,"Price Channel",0,2); // Buffer 0, Shift 2 (2-Back)

PM2=iCustom(NULL,0,"Price Channel",1,0); // Buffer 1, Shift 0
PM2_1=iCustom(NULL,0,"Price Channel",1,1); // Buffer 1, Shift 1 (1-Back)
PM2_2=iCustom(NULL,0,"Price Channel",1,2); // Buffer 1, Shift 2 (2-Back)

//Sample logic code to buy!


if(PM1>PM2 && PM1_1<PM2_1)

{
OpenBuy=1;
}

Continue code of program!



You can change the PM1, PM2 etc. variable to whatever you want to call it.

You will either have to use a comment statement referencing PM1, or a print statement referencing PM1, or use Control-D which opens up a data window on the left side of the graph and may tell you the current indicator buffer values of the current bar.

P.S. You may identify the amount of buffers used in the indicator by the amount of colors it shows in the indicator setup box when you select it from the indicator list by right clicking the mouse after the indicator is on the graph (4 colors = 4 buffers in the indicator). If there are only 2 colors listed, than buffer 0 will be 'Up' direction, and buffer 1 will be 'Down' direction value of the indicator on the current bar.

If you have any other questions, just ask.
I hope this helps!

Dave

The program takes .mq4 file and which line to use as parameters and return mql4 code generated!

I'll inform you when it's done and be online!
Is the program ready? Can't find it.
Thanks
