timeframe TDI merging
Hey guys, hey Mladen,
as some of you use the TDI as a Signal provider I came across the TDI Alert System, as seen below (I just gives a signal or even EMail Alert when a cross in the TDI is happening). Probably this is nothing new. As it is more safe to trade the TDI with at least two timeframes (60min as basis, 5min for scalping) , I am asking if the following is possible:What I want is merge signals of at least two different timeframes to give me an overall more reliable signal: The larger timeframe is used as a basis, up or down gives the direction for the smaller one(s). If the same signal appears on the smaller timeframe, thats a trade; the trade is exited on the exit signal only depending on the smaller timeframe.
So here is the indicator I am talking about creating signals; what do you guys think or was something similar already posted?

Dear Mladen
Would it be possible for you to add 'Coloring on Slope' in this indicator
Thanks in advance

Nope no heart attack: Heres the code, just copy it and create the indicator, cant find the file

Ok guys here you go, sorry for all the formulas!
Wrong one
Just copied the right code into another one, overwrote an old one, compiled it and the file is still using the old code?! Dont get it; anyhow the code is correct
Wrong one
The code I posted before....
Have a Vista Version on my old Laptop here, thats why mq4 files keep disappearing; now it should work!
