Multi TimeFrame Trend Indicator

Post by dentiok »

very useful both indicators especially MTF TrendDir as long I use three EMAs to determine direction.
have you or know a dashboard with this indicator that on a one screen show all available instruments for the broker?

Multi TimeFrame Trend Indicator

Post by 1000pips »

:good: Thanks alot for the Trend Direction Indicator.
the big issue with this indicator is that it only works with exponential moving averages's for line 1,2,and 3
I have tried mod it, am still a fledging coder and still a bit new to your code. It keeps coming up with errors and your coding skills (for being the original author) could be of great help here.

:) what am suggesting is to give freedom to the user to choose for each of the 3 lines either:
// MA_Method= 0: SMA - Simple Moving Average
// MA_Method= 1: EMA - Exponential Moving Average
// MA_Method= 2: Wilder - Wilder Exponential Moving Average
// MA_Method= 3: LWMA - Linear Weighted Moving Average
// MA_Method= 4: SineWMA - Sine Weighted Moving Average
// MA_Method= 5: TriMA - Triangular Moving Average

Those are enough, but others can be found here: http://www.forexfactory.com/showthread.php?p=8684269\

:smile: I have attached an indicator moded by Tommaso (Milanese) that gives these options above to the user to choose their preferred MA method. The problem is that it draws for only 1 line. For example: 3 EMA vs 5MA vs 8MA catches short term trends better than the 5 EMA vs 20 EMA vs 36 EMA. In short, a mix of different ma methods is far much better in catching short term trends/retracements.

:) Kindly help 2 merge these 2 indicators, This would make it into a greater Trend Indicator. Thanks for the share and any further mods :good:

Can you select the MA_Method for each line, or is it more like a blanket MA_Method for every line?
Can you select:

Line 1 MA_Method: 1
EMA1_period: 3

Line 2 MA_Method: 0
EMA2_period: 5

Line 3 MA_Method: 0
EMA3_period: 8

That's what I mean. Thanks :xm:
