Introdução
Este artigo é uma continuação do tópico sobre modelos prontos para usar indicadores em Expert Advisors. Hoje, vamos examinar a integração aos EAs e o uso de indicadores de volume e indicadores de Bill Williams. Os dados obtidos dos indicadores serão exibidos, como exemplo, no painel informativo, que criamos no primeiro artigo desta série. O painel também foi aprimorado, e no final do artigo, vamos dar uma breve olhada em suas modificações e aprimoramentos.
Para cada indicador considerado no artigo, serão apresentados modelos prontos para serem usados em nossos programas:
- Variáveis de entrada e globais,
- Inicialização das variáveis e criação do handle do indicador,
- Desinicialização,
- Recuperação de dados no EA a partir do indicador,
- Exemplo de exibição dos dados obtidos no painel informativo.
Indicadores de volume
Os indicadores de volume são aqueles cujos cálculos levam em consideração os volumes. Para o mercado Forex, por volumes se entendem a quantidade de ticks (mudanças de preço) que ocorreram em um intervalo de tempo. Para instrumentos de mercado, os volumes se referem aos volumes de transações realizadas (em contratos ou em termos monetários).
Accumulation/distribution
O indicador técnico Acumulação/Distribuição (Accumulation Distribution, A/D) é determinado pela mudança de preço e volume. O volume atua como um coeficiente de ponderação na mudança de preço — quanto maior o coeficiente (volume), mais significativa é a contribuição da mudança de preço (para esse período) no valor do indicador.
De fato, este indicador é uma variante do indicador Volume de Balanço mais comum (On Balance Volume). Ambos são usados para confirmar mudanças de preço medindo o volume de negociação correspondente.
Um aumento no indicador Accumulation/Distribution (A/D) indica acumulação (compra) do título financeiro, uma vez que a grande maioria do volume de negociação está associada com o movimento ascendente dos preços. Quando o indicador cai, indica distribuição (venda) do título financeiro, pois a grande maioria do volume de negociação está associada com o movimento descendente dos preços.
Divergências entre o indicador Accumulation/Distribution e o preço do título financeiro indicam uma mudança iminente nos preços. Geralmente, em caso de divergência, a tendência de preço muda na direção do movimento do indicador. Logo, se o indicador está aumentando enquanto o preço do título financeiro está caindo, espera-se uma reversão de preço.
Parâmetros
Para criar o handle do indicador, utiliza-se a função iAD():
Retorna o handle do indicador Accumulation/Distribution. Apenas um buffer.
int iAD( string symbol, // symbol name ENUM_TIMEFRAMES period, // period ENUM_APPLIED_VOLUME applied_volume // type of volume used for calculations );
symbol
[in] Nome simbólico do instrumento cujos dados serão usados para calcular o indicador. NULL representa o símbolo atual.
period
[in] O valor do período pode ser um dos valores da enumeração ENUM_TIMEFRAMES, 0 significa o timeframe atual.
applied_volume
[in] Volume utilizado. Pode ser qualquer um dos ENUM_APPLIED_VOLUME.
Retorna o handle do indicador técnico especificado, em caso de falha retorna INVALID_HANDLE. A função IndicatorRelease() é usada para liberar a memória do computador do indicador que não é mais usado; o handle desse indicador é passado para ela.
Para criar o indicador em um EA, declararemos variáveis de entrada e variáveis globais:
//+------------------------------------------------------------------+ //| TestVolumeAD.mq5 | //| Copyright 2023, MetaQuotes Ltd. | //| https://www.mql5.com | //+------------------------------------------------------------------+ #property copyright "Copyright 2023, MetaQuotes Ltd." #property link "https://www.mql5.com" #property version "1.00" //--- enums enum ENUM_LINE_STATE { LINE_STATE_NONE, // Undefined state LINE_STATE_UP, // Upward LINE_STATE_DOWN, // Downward LINE_STATE_TURN_UP, // Upward reversal LINE_STATE_TURN_DOWN, // Downward reversal LINE_STATE_STOP_UP, // Upward stop LINE_STATE_STOP_DOWN, // Downward stop LINE_STATE_ABOVE, // Above value LINE_STATE_UNDER, // Below value LINE_STATE_CROSS_UP, // Crossing value upwards LINE_STATE_CROSS_DOWN, // Crossing value downwards LINE_STATE_TOUCH_BELOW, // Touching value from below LINE_STATE_TOUCH_ABOVE, // Touch value from above LINE_STATE_EQUALS, // Equal to value }; //--- input parameters input ENUM_APPLIED_VOLUME InpVolume = VOLUME_TICK; /* Applied Volume */ //--- global variables int handle=INVALID_HANDLE; // Indicator handle int ind_digits=0; // Number of decimal places in the indicator values string ind_title; // Indicator description
A enumeração ENUM_LINE_STATE foi criada para facilitar a obtenção do estado da linha do indicador — sua forma (figura) e localização em relação à linha de outro indicador, ou a algum nível.
Para mais detalhes sobre a enumeração, pode-se ler no artigo anterior na seção de parâmetros do indicador ATR.
Ao usar o painel informativo em um EA, também é necessário declarar variáveis globais e incluir o arquivo de classes do painel:

Inicialização
Configuramos os valores das variáveis globais para o indicador e criamos seu handle:
//+------------------------------------------------------------------+ //| Expert initialization function | //+------------------------------------------------------------------+ int OnInit() { //--- create timer EventSetTimer(60); //--- Indicator //--- Set the indicator name and the number of decimal places ind_title="A/D"; ind_digits=0; //--- Create indicator handle ResetLastError(); handle=iAD(Symbol(),PERIOD_CURRENT,InpVolume); if(handle==INVALID_HANDLE) { PrintFormat("%s: Failed to create indicator handle %s. Error %ld",__FUNCTION__,ind_title,GetLastError()); return INIT_FAILED; } //--- Successful initialization return(INIT_SUCCEEDED); }
Ao usar o painel informativo no EA, criamos o painel:
//+------------------------------------------------------------------+ //| Expert initialization function | //+------------------------------------------------------------------+ int OnInit() { //--- create timer EventSetTimer(60); //--- Indicator //--- Set the indicator name and the number of decimal places ind_title="A/D"; ind_digits=0; //--- Create indicator handle ResetLastError(); handle=iAD(Symbol(),PERIOD_CURRENT,InpVolume); if(handle==INVALID_HANDLE) { PrintFormat("%s: Failed to create indicator handle %s.

Desinicialização
No manipulador OnDeinit() do EA, liberamos o handle do indicador:
//+------------------------------------------------------------------+ //| Expert deinitialization function | //+------------------------------------------------------------------+ void OnDeinit(const int reason) { //--- destroy timer EventKillTimer(); //--- Release handle of the indicator ResetLastError(); if(!IndicatorRelease(handle)) PrintFormat("%s: IndicatorRelease failed. Error %ld",__FUNCTION__,GetLastError()); //--- Clear all comments on the chart Comment(""); }
Ao usar o painel informativo, removemos o objeto do painel criado:
//+------------------------------------------------------------------+ //| Expert deinitialization function | //+------------------------------------------------------------------+ void OnDeinit(const int reason) { //--- destroy timer EventKillTimer(); //--- Release handle of the indicator ResetLastError(); if(!IndicatorRelease(handle)) PrintFormat("%s: IndicatorRelease failed. Error %ld",__FUNCTION__,GetLastError()); //--- Clear all comments on the chart Comment(""); //--- If the panel object exists, delete it if(panel!=NULL) delete panel; }
Recuperação de dados
A seguir, são apresentadas funções gerais para acessar dados pelo handle do indicador. As funções foram discutidas no artigo sobre a integração de osciladores aos EAs. As funções apresentadas podem ser usadas "como estão" em seus programas:
//+------------------------------------------------------------------+ //| Return the indicator data on the specified bar | //+------------------------------------------------------------------+ double IndicatorValue(const int ind_handle,const int index,const int buffer_num) { double array[1]={0}; ResetLastError(); if(CopyBuffer(ind_handle,buffer_num,index,1,array)!=1) { PrintFormat("%s: CopyBuffer failed.

Ao usar o painel informativo, os dados são exibidos por meio da função:
//+------------------------------------------------------------------+ //| Display data from the specified timeseries index to the panel | //+------------------------------------------------------------------+ void DrawData(const int index,const datetime time) { //--- Declare the variables to receive data in them MqlTick tick={0}; MqlRates rates[1]; //--- Exit if unable to get the current prices if(!SymbolInfoTick(Symbol(),tick)) return; //--- Exit if unable to get the bar data by the specified index if(CopyRates(Symbol(),PERIOD_CURRENT,index,1,rates)!=1) return; //--- Set font parameters for bar and indicator data headers int size=0; uint flags=0; uint angle=0; string name=panel.FontParams(size,flags,angle); panel.SetFontParams(name,9,FW_BOLD); panel.DrawText("Bar data ["+(string)index+"]",3,panel.TableY1(0)-16,clrMaroon,panel.Width()-6); panel.DrawText("Indicator data ["+(string)index+"]",3,panel.TableY1(1)-16,clrGreen,panel.Width()-6); //--- Set font parameters for bar and indicator data panel.SetFontParams(name,9); //--- Display the data of the specified bar in table 0 on the panel panel.DrawText("Date", panel.CellX(0,0,0)+2, panel.CellY(0,0,0)+2); panel.DrawText(TimeToString( rates[0].time,TIME_DATE), panel.CellX(0,0,1)+2, panel.CellY(0,0,1)+2,clrNONE,90); panel.DrawText("Time", panel.CellX(0,1,0)+2, panel.CellY(0,1,0)+2); panel.DrawText(TimeToString( rates[0].time,TIME_MINUTES), panel.CellX(0,1,1)+2, panel.CellY(0,1,1)+2,clrNONE,90); panel.DrawText("Open", panel.CellX(0,2,0)+2, panel.CellY(0,2,0)+2); panel.DrawText(DoubleToString(rates[0].open,Digits()), panel.CellX(0,2,1)+2, panel.CellY(0,2,1)+2,clrNONE,90); panel.DrawText("High", panel.CellX(0,3,0)+2, panel.CellY(0,3,0)+2); panel.DrawText(DoubleToString(rates[0].high,Digits()), panel.CellX(0,3,1)+2, panel.CellY(0,3,1)+2,clrNONE,90); panel.DrawText("Low", panel.CellX(0,4,0)+2, panel.CellY(0,4,0)+2); panel.DrawText(DoubleToString(rates[0].low,Digits()), panel.CellX(0,4,1)+2, panel.CellY(0,4,1)+2,clrNONE,90); panel.DrawText("Close", panel.CellX(0,5,0)+2, panel.CellY(0,5,0)+2); panel.DrawText(DoubleToString(rates[0].close,Digits()), panel.CellX(0,5,1)+2, panel.CellY(0,5,1)+2,clrNONE,90); //--- Display the indicator data from the specified bar on the panel in table 1 panel.DrawText(ind_title, panel.CellX(1,0,0)+2, panel.CellY(1,0,0)+2); double value=IndicatorValue(handle,index,0); string value_str=(value!=EMPTY_VALUE ? DoubleToString(value,ind_digits) : ""); panel.DrawText(value_str,panel.CellX(1,0,1)+2,panel.CellY(1,0,1)+2,clrNONE,90); //--- Display a description of the indicator line state panel.DrawText("Line state", panel.CellX(1,1,0)+2, panel.CellY(1,1,0)+2); ENUM_LINE_STATE state=LineState(handle,index,0); panel.DrawText(LineStateDescription(state),panel.CellX(1,1,1)+2,panel.CellY(1,1,1)+2,clrNONE,90); //--- Redraw the chart to immediately display all changes on the panel ChartRedraw(ChartID()); }
Além disso, ao usar o painel informativo no manipulador de eventos OnChartEvent() do EA, o manipulador de eventos do painel é chamado, e os eventos são processados para obter o índice da barra sob o cursor:
//+------------------------------------------------------------------+ //| ChartEvent function | //+------------------------------------------------------------------+ void OnChartEvent(const int id, const long &lparam, const double &dparam, const string &sparam) { //--- Handling the panel //--- Call the panel event handler panel.OnChartEvent(id,lparam,dparam,sparam); //--- If the cursor moves or a click is made on the chart if(id==CHARTEVENT_MOUSE_MOVE || id==CHARTEVENT_CLICK) { //--- Declare the variables to record time and price coordinates in them datetime time=0; double price=0; int wnd=0; //--- If the cursor coordinates are converted to date and time if(ChartXYToTimePrice(ChartID(),(int)lparam,(int)dparam,wnd,time,price)) { //--- write the bar index where the cursor is located to a global variable mouse_bar_index=iBarShift(Symbol(),PERIOD_CURRENT,time); //--- Display the bar data under the cursor on the panel DrawData(mouse_bar_index,time); } } //--- If we received a custom event, display the appropriate message in the journal if(id>CHARTEVENT_CUSTOM) { //--- Here we can implement handling a click on the close button on the panel PrintFormat("%s: Event id=%ld, object id (lparam): %lu, event message (sparam): %s",__FUNCTION__,id,lparam,sparam); } }
Após a compilação e execução do EA no gráfico, podemos monitorar o valor e o estado da linha do indicador no painel informativo:
O arquivo do EA de teste "TestVolumeAD.mq5" pode ser consultado nos arquivos anexados ao artigo.
Money Flow Index
O indicador técnico Índice de Fluxo de Dinheiro (Money Flow Index, MFI) mostra a intensidade com a qual o dinheiro é investido em um título financeiro ou retirado dele. A construção e interpretação do indicador são semelhantes às do Índice de Força Relativa (Relative Strength Index, RSI), com a única diferença de que o MFI também leva em conta o volume.
Ao analisar o Índice de Fluxo de Dinheiro, deve-se considerar:
- divergências entre o indicador e o movimento dos preços. Se os preços estão subindo e o valor do Money Flow Index está caindo (ou vice-versa), então há uma grande probabilidade de reversão dos preços;
- um valor do Índice de Fluxo de Dinheiro acima de 80 e abaixo de 20 indica, respectivamente, um potencial pico e fundo do mercado.
Parâmetros
Para criar um handle do indicador, utiliza-se a função iMFI():
int iMFI( string symbol, // symbol name ENUM_TIMEFRAMES period, // period int ma_period, // averaging period ENUM_APPLIED_VOLUME applied_volume // type of volume used for calculations );
symbol
[in] Nome simbólico do instrumento cujos dados serão usados para calcular o indicador. NULL representa o símbolo atual.
period
[in] O valor do período pode ser um dos valores da enumeração ENUM_TIMEFRAMES, 0 significa o timeframe atual.
ma_period
[in] Período (número de barras) para o cálculo do indicador.
applied_volume
[in] Volume utilizado. Pode ser qualquer um dos ENUM_APPLIED_VOLUME.
Retorna o handle do indicador técnico especificado, em caso de falha retorna INVALID_HANDLE. A função IndicatorRelease() é usada para liberar a memória do computador do indicador que não é mais usado; o handle desse indicador é passado para ela.
Para criar um indicador no EA declararemos variáveis de entrada e variáveis globais:

A localização da linha do indicador nas zonas de sobrecompra/sobrevenda é indicada no painel pela cor do texto.
Além disso, ao usar o painel informativo no manipulador de eventos OnChartEvent() do EA, o manipulador de eventos do painel é chamado, e os eventos são processados para obter o índice da barra sob o cursor:
//+------------------------------------------------------------------+ //| ChartEvent function | //+------------------------------------------------------------------+ void OnChartEvent(const int id, const long &lparam, const double &dparam, const string &sparam) { //--- Handling the panel //--- Call the panel event handler panel.OnChartEvent(id,lparam,dparam,sparam); //--- If the cursor moves or a click is made on the chart if(id==CHARTEVENT_MOUSE_MOVE || id==CHARTEVENT_CLICK) { //--- Declare the variables to record time and price coordinates in them datetime time=0; double price=0; int wnd=0; //--- If the cursor coordinates are converted to date and time if(ChartXYToTimePrice(ChartID(),(int)lparam,(int)dparam,wnd,time,price)) { //--- write the bar index where the cursor is located to a global variable mouse_bar_index=iBarShift(Symbol(),PERIOD_CURRENT,time); //--- Display the bar data under the cursor on the panel DrawData(mouse_bar_index,time); } } //--- If we received a custom event, display the appropriate message in the journal if(id>CHARTEVENT_CUSTOM) { //--- Here we can implement handling a click on the close button on the panel PrintFormat("%s: Event id=%ld, object id (lparam): %lu, event message (sparam): %s",__FUNCTION__,id,lparam,sparam); } }
Após a compilação e o lançamento do EA no gráfico, é possível controlar o valor e o estado da linha do indicador no painel informativo:

On Balance Volume
O indicador técnico Volume de Balanço (On Balance Volume, OBV) associa o volume à mudança de preço que acompanhou esse volume. A essência deste indicador, inventado por Joseph Granville, é simples. Se o preço de fechamento da barra atual é maior que o fechamento da barra anterior, o volume da barra atual é adicionado ao valor anterior do OBV; se o fechamento da barra atual é menor que o anterior, o volume atual é subtraído do valor anterior do Volume de Balanço.
A interpretação do indicador On Balance Volume se baseia no princípio de que as mudanças no OBV antecedem as mudanças nos preços. De acordo com esse princípio, um aumento no volume de balanço indica que operadores estão investindo no instrumento. Quando, mais tarde, o público geral começa a investir, tanto o preço quanto as leituras do indicador OBV começam a subir rapidamente.
Se o preço avançar à frente do indicador On Balance Volume, surge o chamado "ausência de confirmação". Isso pode ser observado no topo de um mercado em alta (quando o preço sobe sem o correspondente aumento do Volume de Balanço ou à frente dele) ou na base de um mercado em baixa (quando o preço cai sem a correspondente diminuição do Volume de Balanço ou à frente dele).
Pode-se falar de uma tendência ascendente do On Balance Volume se cada novo pico for mais alto que o anterior, e cada nova depressão for mais alta que a anterior. Por analogia, uma tendência descendente do OBV implica uma diminuição sequencial dos picos e depressões. Quando o OBV se move em um corredor horizontal, não formando picos e depressões sequencialmente crescentes ou decrescentes, trata-se de uma tendência indefinida.
Se uma tendência estiver estabelecida, ela permanece em vigor até o momento de uma reversão. A reversão na tendência do indicador On Balance Volume pode ocorrer de duas maneiras. No primeiro caso, a tendência muda de ascendente para descendente, ou de descendente para ascendente.
No segundo caso de mudança de tendência, o OBV passa para uma tendência indefinida e permanece assim por mais de três períodos. Assim, se a tendência de alta muda para indefinida e fica assim apenas por dois períodos, antes de voltar a subir, deve-se considerar que a tendência do OBV foi ascendente durante todo esse tempo.
Quando a tendência do indicador On Balance Volume muda para ascendente ou descendente, ocorre o que é chamado de "breakout" (rompimento). Como os breakouts do indicador geralmente antecedem os breakouts de preço, os investidores devem assumir posições longas em breakouts do OBV para cima e, respectivamente, vender em caso de breakout do OBV para baixo. As posições abertas devem ser mantidas até que a direção da tendência mude.
Parâmetros
Para criar um handle do indicador, usa-se a função iOBV():
Retorna o handle do indicador On Balance Volume. Apenas um buffer.
int iOBV( string symbol, // symbol name ENUM_TIMEFRAMES period, // period ENUM_APPLIED_VOLUME applied_volume // type of volume used for calculations );
[in] Nome simbólico do instrumento cujos dados serão usados para calcular o indicador. NULL representa o símbolo atual.
period
[in] O valor do período pode ser um dos valores da enumeração ENUM_TIMEFRAMES, 0 significa o timeframe atual.
applied_volume
[in] Volume utilizado. Pode ser qualquer um dos valores da enumeração ENUM_APPLIED_VOLUME.
Retorna o handle do indicador técnico especificado, em caso de falha retorna INVALID_HANDLE. A função IndicatorRelease() é usada para liberar a memória do computador do indicador que não é mais usado; o handle desse indicador é passado para ela.
Para criar um indicador no EA, declaramos variáveis de entrada e globais:

Após a compilação e execução do EA no gráfico, podemos monitorar o valor e o estado da linha do indicador no painel informativo:
O arquivo do EA de teste "TestVolumeOBV.mq5" pode ser visto nos arquivos anexados ao artigo.
Volumes
Para o mercado Forex, o indicador Volumes representa a quantidade de mudanças de preço durante cada período do timeframe selecionado. Para instrumentos de bolsa, este indicador é um indicador dos volumes realmente negociados (contratos, dinheiro, coisas, etc.).
Parâmetros
Para criar o handle do indicador, é usada a função iVolumes():
Retorna o handle do indicador que mostra os volumes. Apenas um buffer.
int iVolumes( string symbol, // symbol name ENUM_TIMEFRAMES period, // period ENUM_APPLIED_VOLUME applied_volume // volume type )
symbol
[in] Nome simbólico do instrumento cujos dados serão usados para calcular o indicador. NULL significa o símbolo atual.
period
[in] O valor do período pode ser um dos valores da enumeração ENUM_TIMEFRAMES, 0 significa o timeframe atual.
applied_volume
[in] Volume utilizado. Pode ser qualquer um dos valores da enumeração ENUM_APPLIED_VOLUME.
Retorna o handle do indicador técnico especificado, em caso de falha retorna INVALID_HANDLE. A função IndicatorRelease() é usada para liberar a memória do computador do indicador que não é mais usado; o handle desse indicador é passado para ela.
Para criar um indicador no EA, declaramos variáveis de entrada e globais:

A cor do texto dos estados no painel corresponde à cor da coluna do indicador sob o cursor.
Além disso, ao usar o painel informativo no manipulador de eventos OnChartEvent() do EA, o manipulador de eventos do painel é chamado, e os eventos são processados para obter o índice da barra sob o cursor:
//+------------------------------------------------------------------+ //| ChartEvent function | //+------------------------------------------------------------------+ void OnChartEvent(const int id, const long &lparam, const double &dparam, const string &sparam) { //--- Handling the panel //--- Call the panel event handler panel.OnChartEvent(id,lparam,dparam,sparam); //--- If the cursor moves or a click is made on the chart if(id==CHARTEVENT_MOUSE_MOVE || id==CHARTEVENT_CLICK) { //--- Declare the variables to record time and price coordinates in them datetime time=0; double price=0; int wnd=0; //--- If the cursor coordinates are converted to date and time if(ChartXYToTimePrice(ChartID(),(int)lparam,(int)dparam,wnd,time,price)) { //--- write the bar index where the cursor is located to a global variable mouse_bar_index=iBarShift(Symbol(),PERIOD_CURRENT,time); //--- Display the bar data under the cursor on the panel DrawData(mouse_bar_index,time); } } //--- If we received a custom event, display the appropriate message in the journal if(id>CHARTEVENT_CUSTOM) { //--- Here we can implement handling a click on the close button on the panel PrintFormat("%s: Event id=%ld, object id (lparam): %lu, event message (sparam): %s",__FUNCTION__,id,lparam,sparam); } }

Indicadores de Bill Williams
Os indicadores de Bill Williams são destacados em um grupo separado, pois são parte integrante do sistema de negociação descrito em seus livros.
Accelerator Oscillator
O preço é o último elemento a mudar. Antes de o preço mudar, a força motriz do mercado muda, e antes da força motriz mudar de direção, a aceleração da força motriz precisa desacelerar e chegar a zero. Então, ela começa a acelerar na direção oposta até que o preço comece a mudar sua direção.
O indicador técnico Aceleração/Desaceleração (Acceleration/Deceleration, Accelerator/Decelerator Oscillator, AC) mede a aceleração e a desaceleração da força motriz atual. Este indicador mudará de direção antes da mudança da força motriz, que por sua vez mudará de direção antes da mudança do preço. Entender que o AC é um sinal de aviso mais precoce oferece vantagens claras.
A linha zero é, essencialmente, o lugar onde a força motriz está equilibrada com a aceleração. Se o Oscilador de Aceleração/Desaceleração estiver acima de zero, normalmente é mais fácil para a aceleração continuar seu movimento ascendente (e vice-versa, quando abaixo de zero). Ao contrário do Awesome Oscillator, o cruzamento da linha zero não representa um sinal. A única coisa necessária para monitorar o mercado e tomar decisões é prestar atenção na mudança de cor. Para evitar reflexões sérias, é importante lembrar: com o AC, não é aconselhável comprar quando a coluna atual está colorida de vermelho, e não é aconselhável vender quando a coluna atual está colorida de verde.
Se entrar no mercado na direção da força motriz (o indicador de Aceleração/Desaceleração está acima de zero para compras, ou abaixo de zero para vendas), apenas dois pilares verdes são necessários para comprar (dois pilares vermelhos para vender). Se a força motriz for contra a posição aberta (indicador abaixo de zero para compras, ou acima de zero para vendas), é necessário uma confirmação, portanto, um pilar adicional é necessário. Neste caso, é necessário que o indicador mostre três colunas vermelhas acima da linha zero para uma posição curta e três colunas verdes abaixo da linha zero para uma longa.
Parâmetros
Para criar um handle do indicador, é utilizada a função iAC():
Cria o indicador Oscilador de Aceleração e retorna seu handle. Apenas um buffer.
int iAC( string symbol, // symbol name ENUM_TIMEFRAMES period // period );
symbol
[in] Nome simbólico do instrumento cujos dados serão usados para calcular o indicador. NULL representa o símbolo atual.
period
[in] O valor do período pode ser um dos valores da enumeração ENUM_TIMEFRAMES, 0 significa o timeframe atual.

A cor do texto do estado da linha do indicador no painel corresponde à cor das colunas do histograma sob o cursor.
Além disso, ao usar o painel informativo no manipulador de eventos OnChartEvent() do EA, o manipulador de eventos do painel é chamado, e os eventos são processados para obter o índice da barra sob o cursor:
//+------------------------------------------------------------------+ //| ChartEvent function | //+------------------------------------------------------------------+ void OnChartEvent(const int id, const long &lparam, const double &dparam, const string &sparam) { //--- Handling the panel //--- Call the panel event handler panel.OnChartEvent(id,lparam,dparam,sparam); //--- If the cursor moves or a click is made on the chart if(id==CHARTEVENT_MOUSE_MOVE || id==CHARTEVENT_CLICK) { //--- Declare the variables to record time and price coordinates in them datetime time=0; double price=0; int wnd=0; //--- If the cursor coordinates are converted to date and time if(ChartXYToTimePrice(ChartID(),(int)lparam,(int)dparam,wnd,time,price)) { //--- write the bar index where the cursor is located to a global variable mouse_bar_index=iBarShift(Symbol(),PERIOD_CURRENT,time); //--- Display the bar data under the cursor on the panel DrawData(mouse_bar_index,time); } } //--- If we received a custom event, display the appropriate message in the journal if(id>CHARTEVENT_CUSTOM) { //--- Here we can implement handling a click on the close button on the panel PrintFormat("%s: Event id=%ld, object id (lparam): %lu, event message (sparam): %s",__FUNCTION__,id,lparam,sparam); } }
Após a compilação e execução do EA no gráfico, podemos monitorar o valor e o estado da linha do indicador no painel informativo:

Alligator
A maior parte do tempo, o mercado não se move para lugar algum. Apenas 15-30% do tempo, o mercado forma alguma tendência, e os traders que não estão no pregão extraem quase todo o seu lucro dos movimentos de tendência. Meu avô frequentemente repetia: "Mesmo uma galinha cega encontrará grãos se for alimentada no mesmo horário". Nós chamamos a negociação seguindo a tendência de "mercado da galinha cega". Embora tenhamos levado anos, finalmente desenvolvemos um indicador que sempre nos permite preparar o terreno até nos encontrarmos no "mercado da galinha cega" e aproveitar a maré.
Bill Williams
O indicador técnico Alligator é uma combinação de Linhas de Balanço (Médias Móveis, Moving Averages), que utiliza geometria fractal e dinâmica não linear.
- A linha azul (Mandíbula do Alligator) é a Linha de Balanço para o período de tempo que foi usado para construir o gráfico (média móvel suavizada de 13 períodos, deslocada por 8 barras para o futuro);
- A linha vermelha (Dentes do Alligator) é a Linha de Balanço para um período de tempo significativo, uma ordem de magnitude abaixo (média móvel suavizada de 8 períodos, deslocada por 5 barras para o futuro);
- A linha verde (Lábios do Alligator) é a Linha de Balanço para um período de tempo significativo, que é ainda uma ordem de magnitude abaixo (média móvel suavizada de 5 períodos, deslocada por 3 barras para o futuro).
Lábios, Dentes e Mandíbula do Alligator mostram a interação entre diferentes períodos de tempo. Como as tendências no mercado podem ser identificadas apenas 15-30% do tempo, é necessário seguir as tendências e não operar nos mercados que mudam apenas dentro de certos períodos de preço.
Quando a Mandíbula, os Dentes e os Lábios estão fechados ou entrelaçados, o Alligator está se preparando para dormir ou já está dormindo. Quando ele dorme, sua fome aumenta — quanto mais tempo ele dorme, mais faminto estará quando acordar. Quando ele acorda, a primeira coisa que faz é abrir sua Boca e começar a bocejar. Então, ele começa a sentir o cheiro da comida: carne de touro ou carne de urso, e começa a caçá-la. Quando o Alligator está completamente saciado, ele começa a perder o interesse pela comida-preço (As Linhas de Balanço convergem) — esse é o momento para fixar os lucros.
Parâmetros
Para criar um identificador do indicador, é utilizada a função iAlligator():

Além dos valores das linhas do indicador nos barras sob o cursor, o painel exibe os estados das relações das linhas Teeth — Jaws e das linhas Lips — Teeth. Seus relacionamentos são exibidos em texto, e os arranjos mútuos são marcados pela cor do texto exibido.
Além disso, ao usar o painel informativo no manipulador de eventos OnChartEvent() do EA, o manipulador de eventos do painel é chamado, e os eventos são processados para obter o índice da barra sob o cursor:
//+------------------------------------------------------------------+ //| ChartEvent function | //+------------------------------------------------------------------+ void OnChartEvent(const int id, const long &lparam, const double &dparam, const string &sparam) { //--- Handling the panel //--- Call the panel event handler panel.OnChartEvent(id,lparam,dparam,sparam); //--- If the cursor moves or a click is made on the chart if(id==CHARTEVENT_MOUSE_MOVE || id==CHARTEVENT_CLICK) { //--- Declare the variables to record time and price coordinates in them datetime time=0; double price=0; int wnd=0; //--- If the cursor coordinates are converted to date and time if(ChartXYToTimePrice(ChartID(),(int)lparam,(int)dparam,wnd,time,price)) { //--- write the bar index where the cursor is located to a global variable mouse_bar_index=iBarShift(Symbol(),PERIOD_CURRENT,time); //--- Display the bar data under the cursor on the panel DrawData(mouse_bar_index,time); } } //--- If we received a custom event, display the appropriate message in the journal if(id>CHARTEVENT_CUSTOM) { //--- Here we can implement handling a click on the close button on the panel PrintFormat("%s: Event id=%ld, object id (lparam): %lu, event message (sparam): %s",__FUNCTION__,id,lparam,sparam); } }
Após a compilação e execução do EA no gráfico, podemos monitorar o valor e o estado da linha do indicador no painel informativo:

Awesome Oscillator
O indicador técnico Oscilador Maravilhoso de Bill Williams (Awesome Oscillator, AO) é uma média móvel simples de 34 períodos, construída sobre os pontos médios dos barras (H+L)/2, que é subtraída de uma média móvel simples de 5 períodos, construída sobre os pontos centrais das barras (H+L)/2. Ele nos diz exatamente o que está acontecendo no momento atual com a força motriz do mercado.
Sinais de compra
- o sinal "Prato" é formado quando a histograma muda de direção de descendente para ascendente. A segunda coluna é inferior à primeira e é pintada de vermelho. A terceira coluna é superior à segunda e é verde;
- para a formação do sinal "Prato", é necessário, pelo menos, três colunas da histograma.
Lembre-se que, ao usar o sinal de compra "Prato", todas as colunas do Awesome Oscillator devem estar acima da linha zero.
"Cruzamento da linha zero" é um sinal de compra que se forma quando a histograma passa de valores negativos para positivos. Nesse caso:
- para que este sinal seja formado, são necessárias apenas duas colunas;
- a primeira coluna deve estar abaixo da linha zero, a segunda coluna deve cruzar a linha zero (transição de um valor negativo para um positivo);
- não é possível a presença simultânea de um sinal de compra e de venda.
"Duas Barras" é o único sinal de compra que pode ser formado quando os valores do histograma estão abaixo da linha zero. Aqui é necessário lembrar o seguinte:
- o sinal é formado quando você tem um pico voltado para baixo (o mínimo mais baixo), que está abaixo da linha zero, seguido por outro pico voltado para baixo, que é mais alto (um número negativo menor em valor absoluto, portanto, está mais próximo à linha zero) do que o pico anterior voltado para baixo;
- o histograma deve estar abaixo da linha zero entre os dois picos. Se o histograma cruzar a linha zero entre os picos, o sinal de compra não é válido. No entanto, é criado um sinal de compra "Cruzamento da linha zero";
- cada novo pico do histograma deve ser mais alto (um número negativo menor em valor absoluto, que está mais próximo à linha zero) do que o pico anterior;
- se um pico adicional, mais alto (que está mais próximo à linha zero) é formado e o histograma não cruzou a linha zero, então um sinal de compra adicional é formado.
Sinais de venda
"Os sinais de venda do Oscilador Incrível são idênticos aos sinais de compra. O sinal 'Prato' é invertido e está abaixo de zero. A 'Cruzamento da linha zero' é descendente — a primeira barra está acima de zero, a segunda abaixo. E os 'dois picos' estão acima da linha zero e também são invertidos.
Parâmetros
Para criar um manipulador do indicador, utiliza-se a função iAO():
Retorna um manipulador do indicador Oscilador Incrível. Apenas um buffer.
int iAO( string symbol, // symbol name ENUM_TIMEFRAMES period // period );
symbol
[in] Nome simbólico do instrumento cujos dados serão usados para calcular o indicador. NULL representa o símbolo atual.
period
[in] O valor do período pode ser um dos valores da enumeração ENUM_TIMEFRAMES, 0 significa o timeframe atual.
Retorna o handle do indicador técnico especificado, em caso de falha retorna INVALID_HANDLE. A função IndicatorRelease() é usada para liberar a memória do computador do indicador que não é mais usado; o handle desse indicador é passado para ela.
Para criar um indicador no EA, declaramos variáveis de entrada e globais:

Desinicialização
No manipulador OnDeinit() do EA, liberamos o handle do indicador:

Além da descrição do estado da linha do indicador, que tem a cor da barra do histograma sob o cursor, o estado de sua localização em relação a zero é exibido no painel. A cruzamento da linha do indicador da linha zero para cima é marcado com texto verde, e para baixo, com texto vermelho.
Além disso, ao usar o painel informativo no manipulador de eventos OnChartEvent() do EA, o manipulador de eventos do painel é chamado, e os eventos são processados para obter o índice da barra sob o cursor:
//+------------------------------------------------------------------+ //| ChartEvent function | //+------------------------------------------------------------------+ void OnChartEvent(const int id, const long &lparam, const double &dparam, const string &sparam) { //--- Handling the panel //--- Call the panel event handler panel.OnChartEvent(id,lparam,dparam,sparam); //--- If the cursor moves or a click is made on the chart if(id==CHARTEVENT_MOUSE_MOVE || id==CHARTEVENT_CLICK) { //--- Declare the variables to record time and price coordinates in them datetime time=0; double price=0; int wnd=0; //--- If the cursor coordinates are converted to date and time if(ChartXYToTimePrice(ChartID(),(int)lparam,(int)dparam,wnd,time,price)) { //--- write the bar index where the cursor is located to a global variable mouse_bar_index=iBarShift(Symbol(),PERIOD_CURRENT,time); //--- Display the bar data under the cursor on the panel DrawData(mouse_bar_index,time); } } //--- If we received a custom event, display the appropriate message in the journal if(id>CHARTEVENT_CUSTOM) { //--- Here we can implement handling a click on the close button on the panel PrintFormat("%s: Event id=%ld, object id (lparam): %lu, event message (sparam): %s",__FUNCTION__,id,lparam,sparam); } }
Após a compilação e execução do EA no gráfico, podemos monitorar o valor e o estado da linha do indicador no painel informativo:
O arquivo do EA de teste "TestWilliamsAO.mq5" pode ser visto nos arquivos anexados ao artigo.
Fractals
Todos os mercados são caracterizados pelo fato de que, na maior parte do tempo, os preços neles não mudam significativamente e apenas durante um curto período de tempo (15-30 por cento) são observadas mudanças de tendência. Os períodos mais favoráveis para a obtenção de lucro são aqueles em que os preços nos mercados mudam de acordo com uma determinada tendência.
Fractais (Fractals) são um dos cinco indicadores do sistema de negociação de Bill Williams, permitindo detectar o fundo ou o topo. A definição técnica de um fractal ascendente é uma série de no mínimo cinco barras consecutivas, onde antes do máximo mais alto e depois dele, existem duas barras com máximos mais baixos. A configuração oposta (uma série de cinco barras, na qual antes do mínimo mais baixo e depois dele, existem duas barras com mínimos mais altos) corresponde ao fractal para baixo. No gráfico, os fractais têm valores High e Low e são marcados com setas para cima ou para baixo.
Os sinais do indicador técnico Fractals devem ser filtrados com a ajuda do indicador técnico Alligator. Em outras palavras, não se deve efetuar uma operação de compra se o fractal estiver abaixo dos Dentes do Alligator, e não se deve efetuar uma operação de venda se o fractal estiver acima dos Dentes do Alligator. Após o sinal do fractal ser formado e ter força, o que é determinado pela sua posição fora da Boca do Alligator, ele permanece como sinal até que seja invalidado, ou até que um sinal de fractal mais recente surja.
Parâmetros
Para criar um identificador do indicador, utiliza-se a função iFractals():
Retorna o identificador do indicador Fractals.
int iFractals( string symbol, // symbol name ENUM_TIMEFRAMES period // period );
symbol
[in] Nome simbólico do instrumento cujos dados serão usados para calcular o indicador. NULL representa o símbolo atual.
period
[in] O valor do período pode ser um dos valores da enumeração ENUM_TIMEFRAMES, 0 significa o timeframe atual.
Valor retornado
Retorna o handle do indicador técnico especificado, em caso de falha retorna INVALID_HANDLE. A função IndicatorRelease() é usada para liberar a memória do computador do indicador que não é mais usado; o handle desse indicador é passado para ela.
Números dos buffers: 0 — UPPER_LINE, 1 — LOWER_LINE.
Para criar um indicador no EA, declaramos variáveis de entrada e globais:

Após a compilação e execução do EA no gráfico, podemos controlar os valores dos buffers do indicador no painel informativo:
O arquivo do EA de teste "TestWilliamsFractals.mq5" pode ser visto nos arquivos anexados ao artigo.
Gator Oscillator
O Gator Oscillator é baseado no Alligator e mostra o grau de convergência/divergência de suas linhas de balanço (média móvel suavizada). A histograma superior é a diferença absoluta entre os valores da linha azul e da linha vermelha. A histograma inferior é a diferença absoluta entre os valores da linha vermelha e da linha verde, mas com um sinal negativo, porque o histograma é desenhada de cima para baixo.
Parâmetros
Para criar um identificador do indicador, utiliza-se a função iGator():
Retorna o identificador do indicador Gator. O oscilador mostra a diferença entre a linha azul e a linha vermelha do Alligator (histograma superior) e a diferença entre a linha vermelha e a linha verde (histograma inferior).

teeth_period
[in] Período de média da linha vermelha (dentes do Alligator).
teeth_shift
[in] Deslocamento da linha vermelha do Alligator em relação ao gráfico de preços. Não está diretamente relacionado ao deslocamento visual da histograma do indicador.
lips_period
[in] Período de média da linha verde (lábios do Alligator).
lips_shift
[in] Deslocamento da linha verde do Alligator em relação ao gráfico de preços. Não está diretamente relacionado ao deslocamento visual da histograma do indicador.
ma_method
[in] Método de média. Pode ser qualquer um dos valores de ENUM_MA_METHOD.
applied_price
[in] Preço aplicado. Pode ser qualquer uma das constantes de preço de ENUM_APPLIED_PRICE ou o identificador de outro indicador.
Retorna o handle do indicador técnico especificado, em caso de falha retorna INVALID_HANDLE. A função IndicatorRelease() é usada para liberar a memória do computador do indicador que não é mais usado; o handle desse indicador é passado para ela.

A cor do texto, que descreve os valores dos buffers do indicador, tem a cor correspondente à coluna do histograma do indicador.
Além disso, ao usar o painel informativo no manipulador de eventos OnChartEvent() do EA, o manipulador de eventos do painel é chamado, e os eventos são processados para obter o índice da barra sob o cursor:
//+------------------------------------------------------------------+ //| ChartEvent function | //+------------------------------------------------------------------+ void OnChartEvent(const int id, const long &lparam, const double &dparam, const string &sparam) { //--- Handling the panel //--- Call the panel event handler panel.OnChartEvent(id,lparam,dparam,sparam); //--- If the cursor moves or a click is made on the chart if(id==CHARTEVENT_MOUSE_MOVE || id==CHARTEVENT_CLICK) { //--- Declare the variables to record time and price coordinates in them datetime time=0; double price=0; int wnd=0; //--- If the cursor coordinates are converted to date and time if(ChartXYToTimePrice(ChartID(),(int)lparam,(int)dparam,wnd,time,price)) { //--- write the bar index where the cursor is located to a global variable mouse_bar_index=iBarShift(Symbol(),PERIOD_CURRENT,time); //--- Display the bar data under the cursor on the panel DrawData(mouse_bar_index,time); } } //--- If we received a custom event, display the appropriate message in the journal if(id>CHARTEVENT_CUSTOM) { //--- Here we can implement handling a click on the close button on the panel PrintFormat("%s: Event id=%ld, object id (lparam): %lu, event message (sparam): %s",__FUNCTION__,id,lparam,sparam); } }
Após a compilação e execução do EA no gráfico, podemos monitorar o valor e o estado da linha do indicador no painel informativo:
O arquivo do EA de teste "TestWilliamsGator.mq5" pode ser visualizado nos arquivos anexados ao artigo.
Market Facilitation Index
O indicador técnico Índice de Facilitação de Mercado (Market Facilitation Index, BW MFI) mostra a mudança de preço por tick. Os valores absolutos do indicador em si não significam nada, apenas as mudanças do indicador são significativas. Bill Williams atribui grande importância às mudanças do indicador e volume:
- O indicador Market Facilitation Index aumentou e o volume aumentou — isso indica que: a) um número cada vez maior de participantes está entrando no mercado (o volume está aumentando), b) os recém-chegados estão abrindo posições na direção da barra, ou seja, o movimento começou e está ganhando velocidade.
- O indicador Market Facilitation Index caiu e o volume caiu. Isso indica a perda de interesse dos participantes do mercado.
- O indicador Market Facilitation Index aumentou, mas o volume caiu. O mercado não é suportado pelo volume por parte dos traders, e o preço muda devido às especulações dos traders "de chão" (intermediários — corretoras e dealers).
- O indicador Market Facilitation Index caiu, mas o volume aumentou. Está ocorrendo uma batalha entre touros e ursos, com um grande volume de compras e vendas, mas com um movimento de preço insignificante devido às forças aproximadamente iguais. Uma das duas partes opostas (compradores contra vendedores) vencerá. Normalmente, uma quebra dessa barra indica se essa barra continua a tendência ou se a tendência é anulada. Bill Williams chama essa barra de "agachamento".
Parâmetros
Para criar um handle do indicador, é usada a função iBWMFI():
Retorna o handle do indicador Market Facilitation Index. Apenas um buffer.
int iBWMFI( string symbol, // symbol name ENUM_TIMEFRAMES period, // period ENUM_APPLIED_VOLUME applied_volume // type of volume used for calculations );
symbol
[in] Nome simbólico do instrumento cujos dados serão usados para calcular o indicador. NULL representa o símbolo atual.
period
[in] O valor do período pode ser um dos valores da enumeração ENUM_TIMEFRAMES, 0 significa o timeframe atual.
applied_volume
[in] Volume utilizado. Pode ser qualquer um dos valores da enumeração ENUM_APPLIED_VOLUME.
Retorna o handle do indicador técnico especificado, em caso de falha retorna INVALID_HANDLE. A função IndicatorRelease() é usada para liberar a memória do computador do indicador que não é mais usado; o handle desse indicador é passado para ela.

Ao usar o painel informativo, os dados são exibidos por meio da função:

Aqui, vale ressaltar que a obtenção de dados do indicador BW MFI é possível de maneira convencional — através das funções universais fornecidas aqui. No entanto, para a interpretação das leituras das colunas do indicador, é necessário outro indicador — o indicador de volumes (Volumes), pois para a coloração das colunas do histograma, dois indicadores são comparados — o valor da coluna do histograma e o valor do volume em relação aos seus valores anteriores. Para obter o volume na função, cria-se um handle do indicador Volumes (uma vez na primeira chamada), e então são comparados os estados das linhas do indicador BW MFI e Volumes. A descrição de relação mútua entre eles é exibida no painel em forma de texto.
Além disso, ao usar o painel informativo no manipulador de eventos OnChartEvent() do EA, o manipulador de eventos do painel é chamado, e os eventos são processados para obter o índice da barra sob o cursor:
//+------------------------------------------------------------------+ //| ChartEvent function | //+------------------------------------------------------------------+ void OnChartEvent(const int id, const long &lparam, const double &dparam, const string &sparam) { //--- Handling the panel //--- Call the panel event handler panel.OnChartEvent(id,lparam,dparam,sparam); //--- If the cursor moves or a click is made on the chart if(id==CHARTEVENT_MOUSE_MOVE || id==CHARTEVENT_CLICK) { //--- Declare the variables to record time and price coordinates in them datetime time=0; double price=0; int wnd=0; //--- If the cursor coordinates are converted to date and time if(ChartXYToTimePrice(ChartID(),(int)lparam,(int)dparam,wnd,time,price)) { //--- write the bar index where the cursor is located to a global variable mouse_bar_index=iBarShift(Symbol(),PERIOD_CURRENT,time); //--- Display the bar data under the cursor on the panel DrawData(mouse_bar_index,time); } } //--- If we received a custom event, display the appropriate message in the journal if(id>CHARTEVENT_CUSTOM) { //--- Here we can implement handling a click on the close button on the panel PrintFormat("%s: Event id=%ld, object id (lparam): %lu, event message (sparam): %s",__FUNCTION__,id,lparam,sparam); } }
Após a compilação e execução do EA no gráfico, podemos monitorar o valor e o estado da linha do indicador no painel informativo:

Aprimoramento das classes do painel informativo. Visão geral
Para os Expert Advisors de teste nesta série de artigos, é utilizado um painel informativo criado no primeiro artigo da série. No painel, era possível criar uma tabela, cujas coordenadas no painel podiam exibir dados. Agora, as classes do painel foram aprimoradas — é possível criar qualquer número de tabelas para colocar os dados nelas. Também foi corrigida uma falha que ocorria quando, ao minimizar o painel, mudar o timeframe e expandir novamente o painel, os dados desenhados no painel não eram exibidos até a próxima minimização/expansão do painel. Vamos revisar brevemente as alterações introduzidas. Não para treinamento, mas como uma visão geral rápida - para não voltarmos ao tema das alterações feitas nas classes do painel.
Agora, cada tabela criada no painel pode retornar suas coordenadas: X1, Y1 - canto superior esquerdo, X2 e Y2 - canto inferior direito. Cada tabela recebe seu próprio identificador e nome, pelos quais se pode referir a elas para obter dados.
Na classe de dados de tabela CTableData, variáveis privadas foram adicionadas e métodos públicos para registrar e retornar esses valores:
//+------------------------------------------------------------------+ //| Table data class | //+------------------------------------------------------------------+ class CTableData : public CObject { private: CArrayObj m_list_rows; // List of rows uint m_id; // Table ID int m_x1; // X1 coordinate int m_y1; // Y1 coordinate int m_x2; // X2 coordinate int m_y2; // Y2 coordinate int m_w; // Width int m_h; // Height string m_name; // Table name public: //--- Set table name void SetName(const string name) { this.m_name=name; } //--- Return table (1) ID and (2) name uint ID(void) const { return this.m_id; } string Name(void) const { return this.m_name; } //--- Set coordinate (1) X1, (2) X2 void SetX1(const uint x1) { this.m_x1=(int)x1; } void SetX2(const uint x2) { this.m_x2=(int)x2; } //--- Set coordinate (1) Y1, (2) Y2 void SetY1(const uint y1) { this.m_y1=(int)y1; } void SetY2(const uint y2) { this.m_y2=(int)y2; } //--- Set table coordinates void SetCoords(const int x1,const int y1,const int x2,const int y2) { this.SetX1(x1); this.SetY1(y1); this.SetX2(x2); this.SetY2(y2); } //--- Return coordinate (1) X1, (2) X2 int X1(void) const { return this.m_x1; } int X2(void) const { return this.m_x2; } //--- Return coordinate (1) Y1, (2) Y2 int Y1(void) const { return this.m_y1; } int Y2(void) const { return this.m_y2; } //--- Return (1) width and (2) height int Width(void) const { return this.m_x2-this.m_x1+1; } int Height(void) const { return this.m_y2-this.m_y1+1; } //--- Return the list of table rows
Um método público foi adicionado, para retornar o número de células na linha especificada:
int ColumnsInRow(const int row_index) { //--- If there is no row in the list, return 0 if(this.RowsTotal()==0) return 0; //--- Get a pointer to the specified row and return the number of cells in it CTableRow *row=this.GetRow(row_index); return(row!=NULL ? row.CellsTotal() : 0); } //--- Return the total number of cells in the table
Um método público foi adicionado, para retornar o número total de células na tabela:
//--- Return the total number of cells in the table int CellsTotal(void) { //--- If there is no row in the list, return 0 if(this.RowsTotal()==0) return 0; //--- int num=0; int total=this.RowsTotal(); for(int i=0;i<total;i++) num+=this.ColumnsInRow(i); return num; } //--- Clear lists of rows and table cells
Anteriormente, simplesmente retornava-se o número de colunas na primeira linha da tabela, assumindo que seu número era igual em cada linha. Agora é possível obter o número total de células na tabela - pelo número de células colocadas em cada linha da tabela. Pode-se obter o número de células na linha especificada. Dessa forma, é possível criar tabelas não uniformes, nas quais o número de colunas (células) é o mesmo para cada linha. A criação de tabelas com diferentes números de células nas linhas não foi testada devido à falta de demanda nas tarefas atuais. Provavelmente, serão necessárias modificações adicionais. Mas, por enquanto, não há necessidade de tais tabelas.
Um método virtual Compare foi adicionado à classe, permitindo comparar tabelas por identificadores (modo de comparação mode = 0) ou por nomes (mode != 0):
//--- Virtual method for comparing two objects virtual int Compare(const CObject *node,const int mode=0) const { const CTableData *compared=node; if(mode==0) return(this.ID()>compared.ID() ? 1 : this.ID()<compared.ID() ? -1 : 0); else return(this.Name()==compared.Name() ? 0 : this.Name()>compared.Name() ? 1 : -1); }
No construtor paramétrico da classe, agora é passado o identificador da tabela criada:
//--- Constructor/destructor CTableData(const uint id) : m_id(id){ this.m_list_rows.Clear(); this.m_name=""; } ~CTableData(void) { this.m_list_rows.Clear(); }
Se anteriormente na classe do painel foi declarado um objeto de dados da tabela, agora é declarada uma lista, na qual serão colocados ponteiros para as tabelas criadas no painel.
//+------------------------------------------------------------------+ //| Dashboard class | //+------------------------------------------------------------------+ class CDashboard : public CObject { private: CCanvas m_canvas; // Canvas CCanvas m_workspace; // Work space CArrayObj m_list_table; // List of tables ENUM_PROGRAM_TYPE m_program_type; // Program type ENUM_MOUSE_STATE m_mouse_state; // Mouse button status
Para a criação de nomes de arquivos para salvar os pixels de fundo e da área de trabalho em arquivo, na seção privada são declaradas variáveis:
string m_name_gv_m; // Name of the global terminal variable storing the collapsed panel flag string m_name_gv_u; // Name of the global terminal variable storing the flag of the pinned panel string m_filename_bg; // File name to save background pixels string m_filename_ws; // File name for saving work space pixels uint m_array_wpx[]; // Array of pixels to save/restore the workspace uint m_array_ppx[]; // Array of pixels to save/restore the panel background
Métodos foram adicionados e aprimorados para trabalhar com as fontes do painel, para criar e obter tabelas e suas coordenadas:
//--- Set default panel font parameters void SetFontParams(const string name,const int size,const uint flags=0,const uint angle=0); //--- Return the specified dashboard font parameters string FontParams(int &size,uint &flags,uint &angle); //--- Return the specified panel (1) font, (2) size and font flags string FontName(void) const { return this.m_workspace.FontNameGet(); } int FontSize(void) const { return this.m_workspace.FontSizeGet(); } uint FontFlags(void) const { return this.m_workspace.FontFlagsGet(); } //--- Display a text message at the specified coordinates void DrawText(const string text,const int x,const int y,const color clr=clrNONE,const int width=WRONG_VALUE,const int height=WRONG_VALUE); //--- Create a new table bool CreateNewTable(const int id=WRONG_VALUE); //--- Return tabular data object by (1) ID and (2) name CTableData *GetTable(const uint id); CTableData *GetTable(const string name); //--- Draw a (1) background grid (2) with automatic cell size void DrawGrid(const uint table_id,const uint x,const uint y,const uint rows,const uint columns,const uint row_size,const uint col_size,const color line_color=clrNONE,bool alternating_color=true); void DrawGridAutoFill(const uint table_id,const uint border,const uint rows,const uint columns,const color line_color=clrNONE,bool alternating_color=true); //--- Print grid data (line intersection coordinates) void GridPrint(const uint table_id,const uint indent=0) { CTableData *table=this.GetTable(table_id); if(table==NULL) { ::PrintFormat("%s: Error. Failed to get table object with id %lu",__FUNCTION__,table_id); return; } table.Print(indent); } //--- Write the X and Y coordinate values of the specified table cell to variables void CellXY(const uint table_id,const uint row,const uint column, int &x, int &y) { CTableData *table=this.GetTable(table_id); if(table==NULL) { ::PrintFormat("%s: Error. Failed to get table object with id %lu",__FUNCTION__,table_id); return; } table.CellXY(row,column,x,y); } //--- Return the (1) X and (2) Y coordinate of the specified table cell int CellX(const uint table_id,const uint row,const uint column) { CTableData *table=this.GetTable(table_id); if(table==NULL) { ::PrintFormat("%s: Error. Failed to get table object with id %lu",__FUNCTION__,table_id); return WRONG_VALUE; } return table.CellX(row,column); } int CellY(const uint table_id,const uint row,const uint column) { CTableData *table=this.GetTable(table_id); if(table==NULL) { ::PrintFormat("%s: Error. Failed to get table object with id %lu",__FUNCTION__,table_id); return WRONG_VALUE; } return table.CellY(row,column); } //--- Write X1 and Y1, X2 and Y2 coordinate values of the specified table to the variables void TableCoords(const uint table_id,int &x1,int &y1,int &x2,int &y2) { x1=y1=x2=y2=WRONG_VALUE; CTableData *table=this.GetTable(table_id); if(table==NULL) return; x1=table.X1(); y1=table.Y1(); x2=table.X2(); y2=table.Y2(); } //--- Return the (1) X1, (2) Y1, (3) X2 and (4) Y2 coordinate of the specified table int TableX1(const uint table_id) { CTableData *table=this.GetTable(table_id); return(table!=NULL ? table.X1() : WRONG_VALUE); } int TableY1(const uint table_id) { CTableData *table=this.GetTable(table_id); return(table!=NULL ? table.Y1() : WRONG_VALUE); } int TableX2(const uint table_id) { CTableData *table=this.GetTable(table_id); return(table!=NULL ? table.X2() : WRONG_VALUE); } int TableY2(const uint table_id) { CTableData *table=this.GetTable(table_id); return(table!=NULL ? table.Y2() : WRONG_VALUE); } //--- Event handler void OnChartEvent(const int id,const long &lparam,const double &dparam,const string &sparam); //--- Constructor/destructor CDashboard(const uint id,const int x,const int y, const int w,const int h,const int wnd=-1); ~CDashboard();
No construtor da classe são criados nomes de arquivos para salvar o fundo e a área de trabalho:
//--- Set the names of global terminal variables to store panel coordinates, collapsed/expanded state and pinning this.m_name_gv_x=this.m_program_name+"_id_"+(string)this.m_id+"_"+(string)this.m_chart_id+"_X"; this.m_name_gv_y=this.m_program_name+"_id_"+(string)this.m_id+"_"+(string)this.m_chart_id+"_Y"; this.m_name_gv_m=this.m_program_name+"_id_"+(string)this.m_id+"_"+(string)this.m_chart_id+"_Minimize"; this.m_name_gv_u=this.m_program_name+"_id_"+(string)this.m_id+"_"+(string)this.m_chart_id+"_Unpin"; //--- Set file names for saving background and work space pixels this.m_filename_bg=this.m_program_name+"\\Dashboard"+(string)this.m_id+"\\background.bin"; this.m_filename_ws=this.m_program_name+"\\Dashboard"+(string)this.m_id+"\\workspace.bin";
No final do construtor, se o painel estiver minimizado, os dados dos arquivos são carregados para os arrays de pixels de fundo e da área de trabalho:
//--- If the panel collapse flag is set, load the background and work space pixels from the files into arrays if(this.m_minimized) { if(::FileIsExist(this.m_filename_bg)) this.FileLoadBackground(); if(::FileIsExist(this.m_filename_ws)) this.FileLoadWorkspace(); } }
Dessa forma, se anteriormente os pixels eram salvos em arquivos e o painel é criado em modo minimizado, então a aparência do painel é carregada dos arquivos, enquanto o painel é desenhado em modo minimizado. Quando é expandido, sua aparência é obtida dos arrays de pixels preenchidos a partir dos arquivos.
No destrutor, se o painel estiver minimizado, antes de excluir os objetos do painel, é necessário expandi-lo, salvar os dados dos pixels em arquivos e minimizá-lo novamente. Após isso, os objetos do painel podem ser deletados — sua aparência já está salva nos arquivos para restauração a partir deles na próxima criação no construtor:
//+------------------------------------------------------------------+ //| Destructor | //+------------------------------------------------------------------+ CDashboard::~CDashboard() { //--- Write the current values to global terminal variables ::GlobalVariableSet(this.m_name_gv_x,this.m_x); ::GlobalVariableSet(this.m_name_gv_y,this.m_y); ::GlobalVariableSet(this.m_name_gv_m,this.m_minimized); ::GlobalVariableSet(this.m_name_gv_u,this.m_movable); //--- If the panel is collapsed, //--- expand the panel, save the appearance into pixel arrays and collapse the panel if(this.m_minimized) { this.Expand(); this.SaveBackground(); this.SaveWorkspace(); this.Collapse(); } //--- otherwise, if the panel is expanded, //--- save the appearance into pixel arrays else { this.SaveBackground(); this.SaveWorkspace(); } //--- Save pixel arrays to files this.FileSaveBackground(); this.FileSaveWorkspace(); //--- Delete panel objects this.m_canvas.Destroy(); this.m_workspace.Destroy(); }
No bloco de processamento de clique no botão de minimizar/expandido, verificamos a flag e salvamos o fundo e a área de trabalho em arrays de pixels caso o painel esteja expandido:
//--- If the panel collapse/expand button is pressed else if(state==MOUSE_STATE_PRESSED_INSIDE_MINIMIZE) { //--- Disable chart scrolling, right-click menu and crosshair this.SetChartsTool(false); //--- If the panel is not collapsed, save the background and work space into pixel arrays if(!this.m_minimized) { this.SaveWorkspace(); this.SaveBackground(); } //--- "flip" the panel collapse flag, this.m_minimized=!this.m_minimized; //--- redraw the panel taking into account the new state of the flag, this.Draw(this.m_title); //--- redraw the panel header area this.RedrawHeaderArea(); //--- If the panel is pinned and expanded, move it to the stored location coordinates if(this.m_minimized && !this.m_movable) this.Move(this.m_x_dock,this.m_y_dock); //--- Update the canvas with chart redrawing and this.m_canvas.Update(); //--- write the state of the panel expand flag to the global terminal variable ::GlobalVariableSet(this.m_name_gv_m,this.m_minimized); }
Do método de minimização do painel foram removidas as linhas de salvamento do array de pixels — agora o salvamento dos pixels é feito apenas ao pressionar o botão de minimizar/expandido:
//+------------------------------------------------------------------+ //| Collapse the panel | //+------------------------------------------------------------------+ void CDashboard::Collapse(void) { //--- Save the pixels of the working space and the panel background into arrays this.SaveWorkspace(); this.SaveBackground(); //--- Remember the current height of the panel int h=this.m_h; //--- Change the dimensions (height) of the canvas and working space if(!this.SetSizes(this.m_canvas.Width(),this.m_header_h)) return; //--- Draw the header area this.DrawHeaderArea(this.m_title); //--- Return the saved panel height to the variable this.m_h=h; }
Implementação do método que retorna os parâmetros de fonte definidos para o painel:
//+------------------------------------------------------------------+ //| Return the specified dashboard font parameters | //+------------------------------------------------------------------+ string CDashboard::FontParams(int &size,uint &flags,uint &angle) { size=this.m_workspace.FontSizeGet(); flags=this.m_workspace.FontFlagsGet(); angle=this.m_workspace.FontAngleGet(); return this.m_workspace.FontNameGet(); }
O método retorna o nome da fonte, e as variáveis passadas por referência recebem o tamanho da fonte, seus flags e ângulo.
No método de desenho do texto, agora é passado também a cor do texto desenhado. Por padrão — clrNONE, o que significa a cor de texto previamente estabelecida:
//+------------------------------------------------------------------+ //| Display a text message at the specified coordinates | //+------------------------------------------------------------------+ void CDashboard::DrawText(const string text,const int x,const int y,const color clr=clrNONE,const int width=WRONG_VALUE,const int height=WRONG_VALUE) { //--- Declare variables to record the text width and height in them int w=width; int h=height; //--- If the width and height of the text passed to the method have zero values, //--- then the entire working space is completely cleared using the transparent color if(width==0 && height==0) this.m_workspace.Erase(0x00FFFFFF); //--- Otherwise else { //--- If the passed width and height have default values (-1), we get its width and height from the text if(width==WRONG_VALUE && height==WRONG_VALUE) this.m_workspace.TextSize(text,w,h); //--- otherwise, else { //--- if the width passed to the method has the default value (-1) - get the width from the text, or //--- if the width passed to the method has a value greater than zero, use the width passed to the method, or //--- if the width passed to the method has a zero value, use the value 1 for the width w=(width ==WRONG_VALUE ? this.m_workspace.TextWidth(text) : width>0 ? width : 1); //--- if the height passed to the method has a default value (-1), get the height from the text, or //--- if the height passed to the method has a value greater than zero, use the height passed to the method, or //--- if the height passed to the method has a zero value, use value 1 for the height h=(height==WRONG_VALUE ? this.m_workspace.TextHeight(text) : height>0 ? height : 1); } //--- Fill the space according to the specified coordinates and the resulting width and height with a transparent color (erase the previous entry) this.m_workspace.FillRectangle(x,y,x+w,y+h,0x00FFFFFF); } //--- Display the text to the space cleared of previous text and update the working space without redrawing the screen this.m_workspace.TextOut(x,y,text,::ColorToARGB(clr==clrNONE ? this.m_fore_color : clr)); this.m_workspace.Update(false); }
