Hello chaps,
I'm wondering if any of you fine fellows knows how to re=program the rectangle tool so that it counts how many candles periods are contained within it. Reasoning behind this is that during a range, the longer it continues, the greater and stronger the breakout.

Anyone have this or can let me know how to program this?

Thanks all!

Hi increase,

Thank you very much for your work in my favorit indicator. Now I will be able to take more and more pips much easy.

In my opinion this indicator is very, very good, with stop loss 15pips in time frame 15.

Try it too.

Thank you very much.

Andrea

sorry i was meaning the biggest lost in history

Help Please!

Can anyone tell me why the following indicator code will plot a down arrow but will NOT plot a price label. Any other style will show up at the correct level, but it doesn't have the price shown?


int init()
{
DeleteAllObjects();
IndicatorBuffers(2);

SetIndexBuffer(0,Buy);
SetIndexStyle(0,DRAW_ARROW,DRAW_ARROW,BuySize,BuyC olor);
SetIndexArrow(0,SYMBOL_LEFTPRICE); < doesn't show up
SetIndexShift(0,1);
SetIndexBuffer(1,Sell);
SetIndexStyle(1,DRAW_ARROW,DRAW_ARROW,SellSize,Sel lColor);
SetIndexArrow(1,SYMBOL_ARROWDOWN); < plots just fine
SetIndexShift(1,1);

return(0);
}

Thanks!

Nice indicator.

Maybe someone can put an alert when the blue line crosses the red one.


Thanks

please, can u give me an hint for tracking down the biggest loss?

Hi Wiley,

Thanks for the help.
To be honest, I have been so busy working on a solution, I forgot that I posted the question.
I spent that day going through the mql4 manual and figured out a way to do it.
When it is time to start trading, I set a variable called "OpeningTime" equal to the current time. During the trading session and if a trade has been closed, I have the EA cycle through the order history and look for any orders that are from the given chart and EA and also have a closing time that is greater than "OpeningTime". It then compares the profit (or loss) of the order (using the OrderProfit() function) with what I have set (with an external variable) as being enough. I set it up so that I can stop trading if I made enough of a profit and/or if I have lost a given amount.
Backtesting has shown that it really doesn't improve the results of an already optimized EA any (in fact, more often it makes them worse), which is to be expected because we never know if the next trade (which I have now eliminated) will make things better or worse.
It does allow me to set more stringent conditions from the start though. So, the EA can be optimized using the "get out, I've had enough" option from the start. And that does seem to make my results quite a bit better.

Thanks for your help.

Trying to use the attached Dianpoli in an EA I added arrows to read those in icustom, but my icustom line does not pick the up, any help please?

Here is what I use in the EA val2 = iCustom(Symbol(), Period(), "test3",300,15,1,1,0); & val3 = iCustom(Symbol(), Period(),"test3",300,15,1,2,0);
