SideWinder is a combination of 34EMA and 25LSMA to calculate the trend using a proprietary formula. It is ONLY used for ZLR trades. SideWinder status has to be 'Normal' or 'Trending' to give visual confirmation that trend is in progress.

Coding SideWinder for MetaTrader is going to be rather very difficult because MT4 is very primitive and doesn't understand what the "slope" of moving average is. Unless, of course, someone can find a way around this problem and write some clever code that MT4 can interprete correctly. So, for the time being, SideWinder is available only on the following 3 platforms:

eSignal
TradeMaven
TradeStation

Sidewinder code for Esignal:

lol okl, I dont know who told u MT4 is 'primitive' - having programmed eSignal, TradeMaven and TardeStation, I can assure you its not!

There is no reason the ArcTan of the slope cannot be calculated - it is trivial in most systems - but the difficalty lies in the fact that there are lots of constants and fudges which depend on the commodity being traded.

Dave's code, in the references you point to are partial code. If you find the complete code, with a clear definition of the constants and fudges, it will be easy to do.
