Range Bar Chart on MT4 - page 23

 
Pdean123:
I would be interested in an indicator that draws a Main Trend Channel and then also the Inner Trend Channel. I have included a chart that I hope is clear. Has this been done? I draw these price channels by hand but I would like to see if someone could do it so that they are drawn automatically. I am combining this with a proprietary RSI Indicator.

will it be kind of zig zag indicator

the inner ones, lot of zig zag alike indicator can do that

main channel, == you may have to draw it in higher TF , then lower it (lower TF to see it)

but zig zag could make you having false belief all the time

 

Michal,

I have been enjoying the range bars for almost a year now.. love 'em!!

Unfortunately, my broker has dropped me like a hot iron because I live

in the US. I have my set up for 6500 bars and now have alot of data

in my charts that I will lose unless I can transfer the old tick data

into the new MT brokers data folder. I have looked but don't see the

folder where the M2 charts data is stored. Where do I need to go to

copy the data from my old M2 charts to my new brokers folder? I dont

want to lose all the bars as some of my indicators look a ways back.

Thanks!

Hi,

the data are located in the history folder under feed name. For example my feed on my broker is in C:\Program Files\MIG4\history\MIGBank-Real2\EURUSD2.hst.

Instead of moving M2 files you can copy M1 file and regenerate the bars.

Also note, if you are my client the fastest way to get support is through my web site (there is also Skype button available). I'm not reading forums very frequently.

Regards,

Michal

I think it would be helpful if this indi allowed for a alert message when bar reaches greater than a certain size. Would anyone be able to code that?

How about my Constant Range Bars converter? It has sound inside.

There are multiply range-charts on one currency, save and reconnect options also.

How about explain more what do you mean? This the first post of you here and very cryptic.

Exuse me for my English.

I designed my own CRB converter for MT4.

It has next features:

1. Designed as "indicator", not a script or expert.

2. Sound for closing bar.

3. One, two, three and more different range-charts on one currency (instrument)

4. Auto recovery after disconnect or closing MT4.

 

Off-line generating script should never be put into indicator.

There is a serious problem when putting off-line generating code into an indicator. On the Forex Factory forum there is a thread when somebody reinvented the Renko's with an indicator just like you've reinvented CRB's. In short, it is not stable (you will miss some ticks) and can even freeze the terminal. For more details, please search the FF forum.

Putting an EA on a chart generated in this way is very dangerous, especially for real money trading.

May be, may be.

But I'm use my converter about 6 month. As for me saving ability is more important than probably missing one-two ticks. I'm use some additional indicators with Bid control on my offline range-chart, and they working well for me.

Agree with your opinion about EA.

What is wrong with the range bar indicator ? Mart

The range_bars_wlas_v09.zip has bugs.

It gets confused and generates multiple identical bars. And the range of bars are frequently much larger than the setting. See i44.tinypic.com/352ex6u.gif
