The voenix bridge allows you to receive new patterns -that voenix finds- into other programs running on the same terminal.
- The bridge will only deliver newly found patterns
- It can deliver the initial pattern list upon startup if you choose so
To enable the bridge ,scroll down to the first input screen of voenix when attaching it , before it appears on the chart and turn the bridge on.
The info delivered contains :
- Pattern name
- Pattern direction of the would be trade for that pattern (Bullish , Bearish) in string and directly usable type (OP_BUY/OP_SELL or ORDER_TYPE_BUY/ORDER_TYPE_SELL)
- The symbol the pattern was found in
- The timeframe the pattern was found in for that symbol , both in string and directly usable type (ENUM_TIMEFRAMES)
- The time it was discovered
- The would be trade levels resulting from your pattern settings (SL , TP1 , TP2 , TP3 and OP)
- The status of the 5 indicators (true or false) for further filtration (rsi / macd / bollinger bands / stochastic / sr)
- An array of all points of the pattern with price time and point decall (text X A B C etc)
You may find the files for mt4 and mt5 below (attached) , and a sample usage code follows (from the mt4 files)
