Here is a system I found in mt3 and converted it to mt4.

It looks like it may have some promise. but currently it has 1 flaw that I see.
The lines do not refreash, so you need to delete the indicator each day then reinstall it.

I believe the indicator just needs a delete object code installed, but I have not had the time, perhaps later in the month. as I said it works fine if you remove it from the chart, then reinstall (start of each session).

I should aslo add that it uses the zig-zag indicator, si you also need it in the indicators directory

Enjoy

3Auto_Targets.mq4 (6.6 KB, 167 views)

I am comtemplating building a automatic trading system based on C. Youngs APE indicator. The part of the indicator I want to base it on is the "Alpha" indicator. In short the alpha indicator is very similar to the ADX or range action verification index, see stocks commodities mag april 2006. This alpha indicator is more responsive then the traditional adx etc.. It goes into a trend much quicker and more importantly it comes out of a trend quicker.
I would like to design a automatic trading system that would go long when the alpha starts to trend, this is usually around 1.0 alpha. I demo trade with vttrader so i cannot backtest like metatrader, so I am asking for any suggestions on a profitable trending entry method. I am thinking of using a basic moving average crossover when alpha trends. How ever I am not sure what type of system is ideal for trending markets? I could use linear regression indicator, cci, stoichastics, macd, basically the options are endless. I am just asking for any advice as to what type traders have found good during strong trending markets. Any suggestions would be compiled and live demo traded on vttrader on daily, 4hr, hr, 15 min timeframes on major crosses. I have only been trading for about 6mos, I have read alot of books and I just do not have enough expeience on what would be ideal with this indicator. I have also found that once this indicator starts to trend, a high probability counter trade also occurs after the major trend, so also a reversal entry/exit method would be appropiate. Please Advise, Thank You, M Rippy

Hello,

I found this indicator which will enable you to make scrrenshoot of your diagram.

This means that it can be attached to any chart where you want a image

To put in the Folder of the indicators and the images is in the folder :Files

All long voyages always start from the first small steps ...

The following EA is based on the Parabolic Sar. It works very well but what I am struggling with is the following. The EA is based on a 30min EUR/USD chart. In a fast moving market the EA will open and close 2 or more trades on the same bar. I want it to only trade once on a 30min bar. Once a trade has been executed and closed it MUST NOT trade for the next 30minutes. Any help greatly appreciated. Many thanks

Another thing that would really improve this EA. When the first dot appears it enters almost at the end of the bar (end of 30mins). If possible I would like it to enter the trade as soon as the first dot appears above or below the bar.

Best regards

Hey all, Anyone know of a candle or bar indicator which can be set to alert if a certain range is hit during that candle or bar. Example a doji with zero pip range between open and close price or on the other extreme fifty pip range in the candle or bar, and when the bar or candle closes if the set number is hit an alert? Thanks Rip

Hi,
Code would like it so that the EA places only 3 orders SELLLIMIT or BUYLIMIT of each time, keeping these orders for 3 hours. Or either necessary of a limitor of hanging orders, my system has placed orders of uninterrupted form and 3 are only necessary.
Grateful
