TCD

Professional Trend Convergence/Divergence Indicator

TCD indicator is based on the Convergence/Divergence of Trend and shows you "up trend" (when trend grows) and "down trend" (when trend is falling).
In the middle is an adjustable "stop area" on which you cannot trade.
Briefly, the TCD shows you when to start or stop buy/sell.
TCD indicator can run many instances, for all time frames and includes all 0 lag MAs. (Please see MAiindicator code section)
With TCD your trading becomes more precise, realistic and more effectively.
It is very fast and has, like all our indicators, a built-in "slider history testing" technology.
Program is design to operate in 2 automatic modes:

1. Slider mode

Turns on when attaching the indicator to the Chart or Visual Tester.
Here you can test/set your settings back in history with “slider” up to 32767 bars.
So, while Visual Testing EA, you can attach the indicator and easily adjust input parameters for critical points.
On Tester (only) you can exit "Slider mode" by pressing the <Esc> key.

2. Expert mode

Turns on when starting the indicator through expert with "iCustom" function.
It is designed only for EA use and “slider history testing” is disabled.
Easy switching between time frames on the selected position and test/set new parameters.

Indicator is equipped with “Error control”, so that you can always see what is going wrong and correct this.
It is tested and works very well in our EA “PointerX”.

How to trade with TCD?

When the blue histogram (main line) is below "stop area" and up, and the red line (signal line) is lower than the "main line", you have up trend and can BUY,
when the "main line" is above "stop area" and down, and the "signal line" is higher than the "main line", you have down trend and can SELL.
When the "main line" is in the middle zone "stop area", BUY and SELL operations are skipped.
We recommend to run up to 3 instances of indicator on different timeframes, with different settings for better results (M15, H1, H4).

For programmers

You can include in EA-s "enum method" code. (please see MAi indicator code section)
The known commands to retrieve main and signal value are for MQL4:

double tcdMain=iCustom(NULL,TCD_TF_,"TCD",F_MTD_,f_st_,f_sm_,f_vf_,f_lam_,st_lev_,si_lev_,si_del_,1,0,1);
double tcdSignal=iCustom(NULL,TCD_TF_,"TCD",F_MTD_,f_st_,f_sm_,f_vf_,f_lam_,st_lev_,si_lev_,si_del_,1,1,1);
if(tcdMain<-st_lev_&&tcdSignal<tcdMain) buyTCD_=true;
if(tcdMain>st_lev_&&tcdSignal>tcdMain) sellTCD_=true;

where:
