i am trying to make an indicatore that shows parabolic sar dots of the m15,m30,h1 time frames together in one chart but i have som problems can you help me?

Hi, I've attached an indicator in mq4 that alerts whenever cci<-150

It alerts in a tick by tick basis; can anyone modify it so it only alerts at close of the candle?

In this case I would only like to be alerted when cci is < -150 at the end of a 5m candle

Thanks in advance

ok, 2nd question, i think this one is easy:

I'm building a user indicator to alert me when price close crosses a MA

I'm using the iCustom to import the MA indicator


and then I don't know how to use the price close; i tried CLOSE and PRICE_CLOSE but with no results:

if (CLOSE?>ma1)
adxvalue= -1;

if (PRICE_CLOSE?>ma1)
adxvalue= -1;

Also, I want the alert to sound only at the end of a 5m bar and not work on a tick by tick basis: what else should I change (this question is the one in my previous post)

Thanks

Hi Codersguru,

Could you help me code an alert into Osma Color so that it alerts when the colors change.

Thanks

Duncan

hello guys,
you all may know the name of this author but never knew that
his method coded into software.
Pesavento wroted among the others this wonderful books:
* Fibonacci Ratios with Pattern Recognition
* Profitable Patterns for Stock Trading
* Astro-Cycles : Traders Viewpoint
by the way i know that ENSIGN software also have his original Pesavento Patterns study tool wich can be seen in the next link.
if someone can import it from ENSIGN to MetaTrader 4 it will be amazing.

i found the code for the gartley 222 pattern on two platforms.
if anybody can translate it to MetaTrade 4 it will be superb!

Anybody Knows anything about these 2 things MA and where to get and use them for Meta Trader 4

1. SMCMA
2. WCMA



The only thing I able to know that these are some Type of MA
(Moving Averages) but where to get them and how to use them ??

Zero_Forex

Does anyone know how to make an Expert Advisor check other currency pair charts to help decide if you want to do a buy or sell? For example, how could I make an EA look at the usd-chf as part of criteria to decide whether to buy or sell on the gbp-chf? I have an EA that I like so far, but I think it could be better if I could also have it written into the program to check other related pairs. Codersguru, or anyone else that can help, please let me know.
Thanks!
