Flytox: I cannot find such code in my copy of TrendStrength.
It's TrendStrength v2.2
Custom Pricemode
Does anyone know how to make a custom pricemode ? I am using the following alert to signal when the price (extern int PriceMode = 6; //(high+low+close+close)/4) crosses a MA. I would like to make this custom by adding an offset, say 1 or 2 %. Is this possible ? Something like:
extern int PriceMode = ((high+low+close+close)/4) * 1.01
----------------------------------------------------
#property indicator_chart_window
extern int MA1.period =5; //Period 5
extern int MA1.shift=0;
extern int MA1.method=2; //SMMA
extern int lMA1.price=2; //MA set to candle high
extern int sMA1.price=3; //MA set to candle low
extern int PriceMode = 6; //(high+low+close+close)/4
int cBar,pBarLong,pBarShort;
int start()
{
cBar = Time[0];
if(CheckMACross(1)== 1 && cBar!=pBarLong ) {EmailAlert(1); pBarLong=cBar;}
else
if(CheckMACross(2)==-1 && cBar!=pBarShort) {EmailAlert(2); pBarShort=cBar;}
return(0);
}
int CheckMACross(int mode)
{
if(mode==1) int price = lMA1.price;
else
if(mode==2) price = sMA1.price;
double price1 = iMA(Symbol(),0,1,0,1,PriceMode,1);
double ma1 = iMA(Symbol(),0,MA1.period,MA1.shift,MA1.method, price,1);
double price0 = iMA(Symbol(),0,1,0,1,PriceMode,0);
double ma0 = iMA(Symbol(),0,MA1.period,MA1.shift,MA1.method, price,0);
if(ma1 > price1 && ma0 <= price0) return( 1);
else
if(ma1 = price0) return(-1);
else
return(0);
}
{
if(mode == 1) SendMail("Signal for LONG",Symbol()+" Go Long"); //SendMail
else
if(mode == 2) SendMail("Signal for SHORT",Symbol()+" Go Short");//SendMail
}
int lastBAlert = 0;
int lastSAlert = 0;
void EmailAlert(int mode)
{
if(mode == 2 && lastSAlert < Time[0] )
{
SendMail("Go Short 1",Symbol()+" Go Short 1"); //SendMail
lastSAlert = Time[0];
}
}
I am appealing to the experts out there to please come to my aid i need some to help me buld an EXPERT ADVISER META 4 TRADER for me i would be greatfull if my request is granted.
Millions of ways to build an expert, what way were you thinking?
source code help!
Hello all
I have an EA and i want to add an input to it
If take profit >= :xx , buy :xx lot
extern int Deltaopen1 =100;
I wrote;
if (type == OP_BUY)
{
if (M2.BuyCnt == 0 && OrderTakeProfit() > OrderOpenPrice() + Deltaopen1*point)
{
Buy(Symbol(), GetLots2(), Ask, 0, 0, Magic2);
return;
}
}
if (type == OP_SELL)
{
if (M2.SellCnt == 0 && OrderTakeProfit() <= OrderOpenPrice() - Deltaopen1*point)
{
Sell(Symbol(), GetLots2(), Bid, 0, 0, Magic2);
return;
}
}
}
But it does not work,
I appreciate any help.
Thank you
Need a little help refining this EA
I have this ea which is a modified version of the "GAPS EA" found elsewhere on this forum.
Anyway, attached is a copy of the code.

Help: Basic Histogram Question
This is probably really easy and I'm looking past something, but I'm out of resources and can't find an answer.
All I'm trying to do is recall the value of the previously drawn histogram bar.
Any ideas?
I.e. Close[1] shows the last closed bar on the chart.....
So what would show the last drawn histogram bar on this separate window indicator?
Thanks for any advice in advance.

-dharsantWhich indicator are you calling? Just set the shift to call the previous bar.
Example, for a current bar moving average:
iMA(NULL,0,13,8,MODE_SMMA,PRICE_MEDIAN,0);
For a previous bar moving average:
iMA(NULL,0,13,8,MODE_SMMA,PRICE_MEDIAN,1);
The last parameter when calling an indicator signifies how many bars from current will be read.
Hope this is what you were looking for.
Coding Help Needed Please
I am trying to use a couple of different indicators in an ea but can't seem to work out how to implement them in to the system. What part of the indicator do I use to say buy or sell. How do I get Slope Direction Line into part of an EA.
Cheers
Beno
I have probably not explained myself quite right.
I am trying to find out what I need to put into iCustom this is what I have done below.
double SDL=iCustom(NULL,0,"Slope Direction Line",period,method,price)
And what I need to do to generate buy and sell signal from Slope Direction Line Indicator for my EA. Below is what I have done so far, it compiles but no positions are being generated.
bool Long = TML && SDL && HeikenAshiOpen < HeikenAshiClose && hasOpen < hasClose;
bool Short = TMS && SDL && HeikenAshiOpen > HeikenAshiClose && hasOpen > hasClose;
Any help would be great
Cheers
Beno
Firstly the iCustom call needs two additional arguments at the end, namely which of the indicator buffers to read from, and which index to read at.
Secondly, "SDL" is a double number, so to just put "SDL" as a condition shows some confusion; possibly it compiles as "SDL != 0", and possibly that's what is meant.
