If you are using HighLowCandle > 0, then it is absed on a closed candle.

Set the UseBarDirection to true and check it then

skyler1234321 2017.01.07 18:00 #7463

Yes i have it in settings. There are my settings what i tested

Meybe in code there is something wrong. Could you check inside?

cja:

Is there any simple way of accessing MT5 indicator data for an on chart display. I know that initially when MT5 first came out the code was quite complicated for just a simple indicator and I am hopeful with the latest version of MT5 something may have changed?

For example if I want to show a MA cross on chart object display with MT4 I use

double slow_MA = iMA(Symbol(),0,100,0,MA_MODE,MA_PRICE,0);

double fast_MA = iMA(Symbol(),0,35,0,MA_MODE,MA_PRICE,0);

if (ma_fast > ma_slow){ col = clrLime;}

if (ma_fast < ma_slow) {col = clrRed;}

else {col = clrGray;}

is there any simple equivalent in MT5? or do I have to write untold lines of code to access this information?

Hi cja

First to thanks for your visiting back TSD in 2017 then Happy new year to you as you are very rare visiting tsd but very old,senior and expert member :)

I'm trying to change this Trailing with Step routine.
I need to move from stoploss and not from the buy/sell entrance...

for example: (BUY operation)

StopLoss: 250 (in points)
Traling :150 (in points)
TralingStep: 50 (in points)
===========

BUY Entrance=> 1000
StopLoss=>750 (=1000-250)

================
First Price Change) Price moved to: 1150

(I don't need this.. ;-( )
Trailing is moving my stoploss to "buy_entrance" =>1000

(But I need this)
Trailing should move my stoploss to => 800 (=StopLoss+Trailingstep)

Second Price Change) Price moved to: 1300
Trailing show be moved to=> 950 (=StopLoss+Trailingstep)

the actual code use trailing and trailing step but I need to modify it...
when (price moved) the trailing in points is reached and it use trailing step to move the stop loss but the actual code
move the stoploss to Entry point of the operation (and I don't want this)

I need:

when BUY is opened: if the trailing is reached , the trailing step should be subtracted from the actual stoploss. (NewStopLoss = LastStoploss - TrailingStep)
when SELL is opened: if the trailing is reached , the trailing step should be added from the actual stoploss. (NewStopLoss = LastStoploss +TrailingStep)

Your initial start always must be from the initial buy/sell entrance (there is no other available criteria)

Something is wrong with the buffers , i used buffer : 2 for buy and both buffer 3 and 4 for sell , but everything triggers all of the time , tried only to use buffer 2 for buy and buffer 3 for sell , but the same thing happened .

Nothing wrong with buffers. Use buffer 9 : 1 for trend up, -1 for trend down

Dear Mr Mladen,

I need an histogramt indicator for my strategy trading, right now I use XB4 indicator and Bandit strategy indicator. but they don't have alert and notification send to email or to my android MT4.

do you have modified indicator XB4d ndicator that have alert send email and notification that send to android mobil phone. if histogram change colour blue to red, or red to blue on the first bar.
