OffTrend indicator - page 3

post 7 has an alert

Yes, but it does not work properly, I want to alert when the two lines cross and give the direction of the trend up or down, I have changed it and it is very close, but maybe someone could look at what I have done and correct it

 

I got the alert to "say" the right thing --

I am happy with it anyway -- so trust it is useful for someone

PS If you dont want the "Comment" which prints the info on your chart, simply add // at the beginning of those 2 lines.

Also -- we have noticed it does repaint -- I still like it -- the alert gets me to the computer when I need to be here mostly, which is what an alert is really for, but ALWAYS refresh for taking it as a signal. The alert does come before it paints anything -- painting follows IF the price continues.

From my observation a perfect indicator wont be found cause the price action is not perfect. So an alert simply allows me to walk away or look away from the computer knowing I will be "called back" if and when I need to be checking what is happening.

Thats what I use this for anyway - hope if helps someone else also.

 

kiwi,why at the top left corner, no matter up or down trend it stated buy signal?

The alert seems to have a problem when val1 or val2 come up with a spurious number 2147483647

I think this is pretty close

Thats why I did not use va1 or val2 -- maybe I uploaded the wrong one -- sorry.

I have caught this repainting quite a bit -- so take care

Finally kicked it off of my charts - one version shows it is a rewrite of Silver Trend -- Silver Trend seems better --

To make sure you dont get tripped up by repainted -- just refresh charts before taking signal. I do that by toggling between 2 Time Frames

Take care.

So Forex offtrend has been converted from silver trend to show lines instead of arrows, is this correct?

because I am using the lines to follow trend, not arrows to predict future movement

so to use silver trend, which version of silver trend would you recommend then, I want one with lines not arrows and alert, could you upload it please?

Hi Increase -

In the coding of OffTrend -- right at the top it says "#property copyright "SilverTrend rewritten by CrazyChart"

This is the version of Silver Trend I have - I made it into dots -- but easy to put back to arrows --

Simply change the following:

SetIndexArrow(0,159);

SetIndexStyle(1,DRAW_ARROW);

SetIndexArrow(1,159);

to

SetIndexArrow(0,233);

SetIndexStyle(1,DRAW_ARROW);

SetIndexArrow(1,234);

I like Silver Trend -- I use Trigger Lines to confirm.

Hope this helps

mmm sorry -- I scanned your comment in a hurry -- you wanted one with lines -- sorry dont have that -- just dots/arrows.

 

its good to use, with other indicators..using on multiple time frames will help too..being able to see smaller frames go flat or raise and such to help get a better entry...i observe it as a breakout type of indicator...:)..works great with my trading method, but might not work with yours..
