How To Convert an Indicator to MTF

[surubabs Suresh Kakkattil]

Hi all,

I want to conver an Indicator in to mtf,

I am planing to devekop an EA, which should trade the higher time frame signal in to a lower time frame,

Eample- the ea look for the higher time frame signal, if in a 1H chart the indicaor in buy signal mode, and i trade in 5M chart, if a buy signal comes in 5M chart Ea take trade and vice versa in sell,

i am attaching the indicator here,

if some one can help me out, plesase help.

 Thanks in Advance

Suresh

@surubabs.

You have create several comment and topic asking for the same indicator. So, do you know how to code buy or sell from this indicator ?

Before you go any further, my advice is, to compare this indicator with other indicator like Parabolic SAR for example. Just because, the indicator name is "Super Trend" that does NOT mean it really showing trend.

Buy i am confused with the indicator which i have post..

Thank You
