Asctrend indicator in depth - page 4

Clock indicator from this CodeBase link.

By the way - Local Time for this indicator is computer time (my pc time) which is not my local time :)

So, this indicator is showing: GMT time, broker time and time of your pc

Your PC is not setted at your local time ? Why, for trading ?
 
Not for trading. I just forgot to set it :) My local time is GMT + 3 (Daylight Saving Time was disabled for all the country but anyway - I never changed my PC clock on DST) 
 

Good back to Asctrend. As already said Asctrend is based on WPR indicator.

Asctrend has only 1 input parameter : Risk. This parameter is use to define WPR period and sell/buy levels. "Historical" default value for risk is 3. (In Asctrend published it is 4, don't know why).

Asctrend WPR Period = 3 + RISK * 2 = 9 by default.

Asctrend WPR buy level > - (33 - RISK)

            sell level < - (67 + RISK)


There is also some exception handling for gap and peak. And internal filtering of signal if a signal of same direction already exist.


 

ASCtrend ( set alarm on it ).

hi; can you please help.

i want set alarm on " ASCtrend " indicator;( when appear signal on previous candle , with start new candle send alarm)

add high lighted lines;

ASCtrend ( set alarm on it ).

hi; can you please help.

i want set alarm on " ASCtrend " indicator;( when appear signal on previous candle , with start new candle send alarm)

add high lighted lines;

there is problem and it is not work.

thank you.

Why did you used this ?

   if( BuyBuffer[rates_total-2]!=0 )

Place your code in a funtion : 

SendAlert(direction) {...} or similar

and call this function when a signal is detected : 

         if(Vel>x1)
           {
            value3=high[bar]+Range*0.5;
            SellBuffer[bar]=value3;   
            SendAlert("sell");
           }

...

         if(Vel<x2)
           {
            value3=low[bar]-Range*0.5;
            BuyBuffer[bar]=value3;
            SendAlert("buy");
           }

ALL right.

thank you .

but in that case i have alert in same candle and may be in end of candle ( time of that candle) ; there is no signal of " ASCtrend ".

i mean : alert send if at end of previous candle there was a signal.

in "ASCtrend_alarm_2 " and with tester you can see value of { value3 & BuyBuffer & SellBuffer } 

and from 2013.04.10 to 2013.04.12 you can see what i mean .

please tell me if i am wrong.

You are right. You have to add an if statement, something like if(bar==1)

in pic below :


i do not understand why value of " BuyBuffer " or " SellBuffer " is always equal to zero.

in mql file we have:

          if(Vel>x1)
           {
            value3=high[bar]+Range*0.5;
            SellBuffer[bar]=value3;
           }

...
...
...
        if(Vel<x2)
           {
            value3=low[bar]-Range*0.5;
            BuyBuffer[bar]=value3;
           }

we can check it on tester.(attached file)

why this are always equal to zero ; when " value3 " has an another value ?

I already said you that :

  if( BuyBuffer[rates_total-2]!=0 )

isn't good.

Do you know what the following mean ?

//---- indexing the elements in the buffer as timeseries
   ArraySetAsSeries(BuyBuffer,true);
