Dear Mladen, I've done this Corridor of Momentum, based on your Smoothed Momentum from the "code snippet" thread. Like I have set it (the HighLowStep settings) it comes out pretty good on TF like H1 and H4 (Gyazo - 4a24c73d3d721713c6e37bb508d65596.png), but it seems that with Momentum, the corridor can not be set in a way that it shows coherent values on each TimeFrame, am I right ? You will see that in Daily for example, the steps are too high, and in lower TF too low. Is there a way to fix this ? Besides it seems to be a bug in the first bars of the chart, where the momentum makes a strange curve (Gyazo - af22b911a9caaddaadffc58b41745fa5.png). Thanks a lot for your reply. Regards.

Dear Stevenpun,

Try changing this in the EA that call the MACD using iCustom....

You need to know the buffer number of the MACD and SIGNAL line to do this....

MACD > SIGNAL for buy ....

MACD < SIGNAL for sell....

Hope this HELP

Thanks for your advise , but where can i get the buffer number ?

One way to check the Buffer number for the MACD main line and MACD signal line

1) point your mouse to the indicator line.. it will tell the buffer number... you got to minus 1 for the actual number....

2) Open the MACD file and find the SetIndexBuffer(0,ExtMapBuffer);

Not really 100% understand , but later will try figure it out .

The first bars are normal (previous values are missing and that is why that strange curve)

As of step : you are right. The problem with momentum is that as the time frame rises so the momentum values are rising too and then the HighLowStep has to be adjusted (it is similar in that with macd)

Thanks. Do you know a way to fix that ? Outside defining sth like if (Period()=X) HighLowStep = HighLowStep * Y;

It (the momentum) would need to be normalized

You could try to use the one from this post : https://www.mql5.com/en/forum/176430/page4 as an acceptable solution
