So, here is the HGIMatrix:
Select your time frame (can be CURRENT -- so it follows the chart time frame) and whether you want to look at the current candle or closed candle. You can change some cosmetic stuff as well -- you'll work it out.
Make sure you have the named HGI indicator in your \Indicators folder as well.
In a next version, I might differentiate between the buffer7 wavey symbol and buffer8 wavey symbol -- but for the moment I just follow what Elixe is doing on the HGI indicator.
Have fun!
Edit: You can now switch AlertsOn = true, to be alerted each time a new signal arrives. Be prepared to be annoyed by this thing, especially if UseClosedCandle = false, as in this case you will likely have a new signal every minute.
Also, you can display some legends to describe what each symbol means -- not that anyone needs that.
Edit2: Added NotificationsOn switch. You must have entered your MetaQuotes ID in the Notifications-tab of Options. Be ready to be blasted by your phone ...
Edit3: Added the ability to display the most
recent signal, not just the one on the open or previous candle.
Edit4: Waves are now high or low, depending on the postion of the wave in HGI. The cell contents now scales with the cell width and height.
Edit5: Added 'selectable' Alerts, to allow the trader to which type of signals and/or waves he or she wishes to be alerted. New parameters:
AlertOnTrendChange :: Gives an alert if a new TREND signal was spotted
AlertOnRangeChange :: Gives an alert if a new RANGE signal was spotted
AlertOnRadChange :: Gives an alert if a new RAD signal was spotted
AlertOnWeakWave :: Gives an alert if a new WEAK Wave signal was spotted
AlertOnStrongWave :: Gives an alert if a new STRONG Wave signal was spotted.
The whole Alert and Notification mechanism can still be switched on/off with AlertsOn and NotificationsOn as before. Also, if AlertsOn is true, but none of the other 'AlertOn....' flags is true, you still won't get any alerts.
Edit6: Two small changes: The tile that was changed in the last refresh, turns dark red and there is now an external parameter for the SymbolFont (default: WingDings)
Edit7: A new parameter, ShowAsList, allows the information to be arranged vertically in a list.
Edit8: Made the fonts a little smaller as we got reports that some text was cut off. Also, locked the screen height with a new parameter (ScreenHeight: default 720), to by-pass the problem of getting all the rows on one line in the list form.
Edit9: I was advised by Elixe that for version 15.01, the iCustom call needs to be different. This has been updated in this version.
Edit10: Added the MTF version of HGIMatrix. Set the TimeFrames parameter to a comma-separated list of known timeframes, eg. 5,15,60,240.
Note: be sensible with your numbers. Having 28 pairs with 5 timeframes, 8 buffers and max lookback of 100 requires a maximum of 112,000 iCustom calls! This is done every minute ... You will find that at the start you get quite a few 'red' cells ... This is probably due to the HGI-indicator still trying to load some more data. This settles down after a while. Have fun and let me know how you go.
Edit11: There are some minor cosmetic changes as suggested by
trendinator. There are now parameters to set the colour of the wave-symbols, as well as the background color of the changed cell. Also the wording of the Alerts() has been changed.
Edit12: New version of HGIMatrixMTF allows to change the background color of a symbol by clicking on the cell.
Edit13: Two minor updates: The cell selections now survive Empty4-restarts, timeframe changes and indi re-initializations. Also, I have made HGI 15.06 the default HGI indicator.
