Hi Cja,

I was wondering if you would be so kind enough to update the "Daily Data" & "Signal Bars" indicators to automatically switch between 5th or 6th decimal quotes (no user input necessary), and to also be able to show fractional pip spread with JPY type of pairs?

Below is an example of the small addition to your code that would allow it to do the above. This is my little way of giving back and thanking you for your help and great indicators.

I will post a pic so that you can see the difference between the "BarClock v3" indicator that is displaying the spread for USDJPY incomparison to your "Daily Data" indicator. I'll also post the "BarClock" indicator for folks that might be interested in it...

Or perhaps the code below is more simple (no Global or int init() variables required), it seems to work fine...

PHP Code:


			

//+----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------+
//| Custom indicator iteration function                                                    |
//+----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------+
int start()
{
   // Auto 5/6 Digit Broker Quote Switch.
   double DblPoints; if(Digits==5||Digits==3) {DblPoints=Point*10;} else {DblPoints=Point;}
   // Auto JPY Pair Style Digit Display Switch.
   double SP1; if(Digits==3) {SP1=Digits-2;} else {SP1=Digits-4;}
   // Spread.
   double SPRD=(Ask-Bid)/DblPoints;
   string SPREAD=DoubleToStr(SPRD,SP1);

The "STR" indicator comprised of RSI, Stochastic and CCI calculation in providing signal.

Thanks for sharing cja, what a great tool.

Thank you.

This version Signal Bars v7 has some new features, the User can select which Timeframes they want displayed and the indicator can now be placed into any indicator window to help free up chart space.

One other difference is that now the Price color updates with the direction of price movement, UP = Lime / DN = Red / Flat = Orange or what ever colors you decide to use.

Some of the new inputs settings

IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII="<<<< Adjustable TimeFrames >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>";
TF1 = 1;
TF2 = 5;
TF3 = 15;
TF4 = 30;
TF5 = 60;
TF6 = 240;

IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII= "<<<< Chart Position Settings >>>>>";
Corner_of_Chart_RIGHT_TOP = true;//false = Signal in top left corner
Shift_UP_DN =0;// Adjusts Signal Display Up & Down
Adjust_Side_to_side = 20;// Adjusts Signal Display from side to side
Sig_Bars_Window = 0;//1=1st Window/ 2=2nd Window etc

All the features that were avaliable on the previous Signal Bar indicators are still in this indicator, the ability to adjust indivdual indicator settings and colors for instance.

Attached is Signal Bars v71 which has an extra TimeFrame added as requested by some traders who require the lower TimeFrames plus Daily.

Important Signal Bars v7 & Signal Bars v71 both now have a password
This was coded into the indicators to get around the line of text i previously had displayed on the lower chart area to stop people selling this indicator, i feel that no one will pay money for an indicator that has this password. I hope that this is not too inconvenient for tsd users and believe that this a solution that should work for everyone.

PassWord = free_at_tsd

I have rewritten the Signal Bars Indicator to try and avoid the issues some people have had with the BARS & TEXT misaligning on some platforms, I have totally changed the way the BARS are written - the default TEXT is now ARIAL & ARIAL BOLD which is a more common text found on most platforms and computer operating systems.

The password is still the same as above

28/01/2009
Signal Bars v8D now has a Digit Switch for 5 & 6 Digits platforms

Thanks You very much, CJA! The SignalsBars EA and -Indicators, are super: the refined, precise, nice, and wonderful Helper for winner Trading! Thank You very much!

CanisLC · #**198** (**permalink**) 08-07-2009, 06:26 AM

CJA, thanks a ton for Signal Bars! I just have one suggestion and one question.

The question: as I understood STR value is based on Stochastic, RSI and CCI. But what the principle? I mean how STR is calculated mathematically?

The suggestion: it would be really great to see also time left for the next bar and world market sessions.

Excuse me for my english.

Updated indicator posted on the 1st post of this thread. Signal Bars now resets automatically for the different platforms.

Thankyou for a great indicator, I am having trouble with the latest version however (Actually I had trouble with the earlier ones - has got worse though with this release), once I place the indicator on my chart memory usage for MT4 jumps up by about 800MB, placing it on a second chart makes it jump again and crashes my terminal. Is there anything you can think of that might be causing this? I have tried various versions from v3 now up to v9 with the same effect.
