Hi Bob,
A technical question for the HGI indicator. And if you dont have the source-code and/or the knowledge to make modification to it maybe someone else can help me out.

First. If the source was public I would do this modification myself.

Wave-icon or signal (both trend and range) they appear on top of candle or below the candle to point out the most likely way for the pair to go.
So I am about to do a EA using HGI (much thankfull for it's existence) when using iCustom() and take what value exits in the output buffer or Data Window (press CTRL+D in Empty4) but Wave-icons is only presented with one value apart from Trend, Range and Rad who has the "Buy"/"Sell" outputs.

I am new to Mql programming but has 20yrs+ in programming. Maybe 8 output buffers is maxed allowed or something but then surely it is better to skip RAD Sell and RAD Buy and use Wavy Trend Buy and Wavy Trend Sell?

I am focusing on what Bob say in the manual that if you get an Arrow and a Wave-trend get a 2nd mortage and go all in. Not that many trades a day but enough if I have a robot for it.

I hope I explained it good enough but I also attach one image so it might be clearer.

Take care and best regards
Chris

Ps. If I offended, posted in wrong forum or any other dimwitt stuff, I beforehand appologize for my silly existence

This is easy to code with the existent HGI in an EA , you can use the lib or use iCustom.., the easiest way for you will be to look into the code of existing EAs using the HGI indicator..

Thx Tommaso,
I will look into existing EA's as suggested.

With iCustom() you get the nth value from Data Window and/or Objects printed on the screen. Objects printed need to be unique aswell then and it is little awkward method. With the nth value from Data Window I still don't now if it is a Wave-trend Sell or Wave-trend Buy. I will look into lib instead...maybe there is more options there.

But thanks again!

Take a look into Renés HGI Matrix, here you can in both versions (lib and iCustom) see, how you can make a difference between wavies above and below..

Technical questions are for the programmers. I only know how to take existing code and make modifications. I see Milanese has you going in the right direction. Dont worry about the dimwit stuff. Thats why I have a thread where you dont have to fear getting chewed out. Just ask away here and you will find many helpful people. Anyway fire away and see what happens.

Welcome to our forum and good luck with your trading.

Hi Bob
when you are back in a new house how will u trade with HGI?
Will u trade 4 Hour Big Arrows/Blue waves only and in direction of Daily Big Arrows/Waves?
Or will you trade other various strategies?
Incidentally I have loaded HGIMatrix from Post 1 (HGI Matrix thread) and put in HGI 16.08 to its Inputs but I cant seem to get it to show Daily TF after inputting 1440 Into the desired input box?
Maybe I have made an error?
I wonder if anyone may be able to help?


thanks so much

I'm experimenting, getting used to my indicator again. I played with 30m chart this week and not so hot. So 1h or 4h. I'm trading blind with just signals and a blank chart on a tiny screen. I'm trading just big arrows and not much else. CSS is in my mind but don't get to watch it all week so don't see suttle changes in the lines. So if I can trade blind with the big arrows and be profitable then anyone can.

[nanningbob]

Hey I want to ask a question. Can we change the start times on the daily candles? I want to see how they look if they start at 1,2,3, etc. just wondering if there is a TF where you get full candles and little wicks.

[tomele]

Hi Bob,

basically the candle start time depends on your brokers server time. It should be possible to program an indi that shows the candles for different starting times. Never stumbled upon something existent, but seems not too complicated. What do you need it for?

[nanningbob]

You should know me by now. Daily trading idea but it depends on getting a time when the candles are full. One trade each day. So if the USA open gives a run every day and there is almost no wick I got an EA idea.
