Multi Timeframe Indicators - page 199

change, ok but it shouldn't disappear (sidebar), Joe?

Andama, again and again - all signals valid only after bar close (current TF or respectively higher TF) - until then - open bar (price) changes and accordingly indicator's value (it reflects price) -

if we have indicator from 4H on 1H chart - after 4H bar close - pricebar doesn't changes and so indicator's value - stays fixed in history - changes go on to another open bar antill it closes and so on ... (that's why they have bar clocks (countdown)

It does repaint even after the higher timeframe bar closes. If it didn't, then it would have been the holy grail. Just about all of them pay when you backtest it.

allt MTF repaint, its not the holy grail.

 

Some talking about painting, repainting and so on are on this page https://www.mql5.com/en/forum/173574

So, MTF indicators are not repainting. MTF is unfinished painting.

 

can you advise what setting to use so indicator wont repaint after bar close on 30 minute chart. I put m30 in indicator but sometimes it repaints.

 

You can use CustomCandle indicator to understand wgen MTF indicator will finish painting https://www.mql5.com/en/forum/173163

And CandleTime indicator as well https://www.mql5.com/en/forum/173163 (how many minutes to the bar close - it is on the chart).

Elite members can use:

- bar on the chart counter by Kalenzo;

- alarm on every candle close.

But I think free indicators (CustomCandle and CandleTime) are more than enough. Personally I am using free CustomCandle indicator.

QUOTE=erdenmensch;202317]allMTF repaint - strange to hear such nonsense from member who been on this forum for a while and could already figure out what mtf indicators are, how it works and how to use it

if you original indicator (nor mtf) repaints - mtf can't help much - basically it plots on 1hour chart your indicator values from 4H chart (same indi - same values just on different charts)

so if you need to watch what indicators(signals) doing on different timeframes - keep two charts open and trace (compare) indicators (on 1h & 4h) or use mtf on one chart

so what we doing here in this thread on this forum - what many people around the world and many kinds of trading software (TA) does - showing on chart indicators values or signals from different charts (timeframes, etc) And btw we are pretty good at it

 

btw. barshift f-la good for cheating mt4 strategytester (or checking how strategytester cheating)
