Creating a chanel from EMA's

Hey there,

I'm working on a system that needs something along the following.

I know you can put levels in to make a channel. But I'm wanting to put a channel in of the ema that's a percentage of the ATR? How would I do this.

so for example. I'd have an ema of 15 and then the channels would be 'x' pips above and below the ema based on what the ATR is at that time. Say for instance 60% of the 15 ATR forms the channel.

Does this make sense? Anybody care to point me in the right direction of this?

Peace

Stuart

See my post #36 on this thread.

Help with .MQ4 Indicator, Please

Hi.

Can anyone amend the attached 'ATR in Pips' Indicator to include the facility to place the displayed text anywhere on the Chart window using 'x' and 'y' co-ordinates?

Hope so. Thanks in anticipation. Richard.

Text Shift

This should do eveything you require

extern int TextShift_Side =0;

extern int TextShift_UP_DN = 0;

extern color TextColor = White;

extern int TextSize = 9;

extern string TextFont = "Tahoma";

extern int TextCorner = 0;

Update : I forgot to put the ObjectDelete to delete the LABEL - sorry for any inconvenience caused.

cja, that's perfect .... thanks. And implemented so quickly.

Thank you, Richard.

hello,

I use atr based stop different formula, my stop loss method dont need close.

My formula are below as metastock language.

FOR LONG STOP

HHV(L- 2*Ref(Mov(Max(H-L,Max(Abs(H-Ref(C,-1)),

Abs(L- Ref(C,-1)))),14,S),-1),14)

FOR SHORT STOP

LLV(H+ 2*Ref(Mov(Max(H-L,Max(Abs(H-Ref(C,-1)),

Abs(L-Ref(C,-1)))),14,S),-1),14)

I dont know MT4 coding, somebody may code for MT4 as two indicators. Thanks.

HELP with ATR indicator.

Can someone help me to create an price tag in this atr indicator. It's only like 5 lines of code.

example:

I want the must current atr line. The first from right to left to have a price level to move my stop easily. Its time consuming to have to move the mouse cross line and find out what price it is.

Example:

______________________| 1.5421|

It's gotta be with objectcreate(arrow) but dont know how to do it.

I want the arrow label in the current atr line.

Thanks everybody.
