I would like to experiment changing the trend definition to Bob's definition i.e. using 240 LWMA open.

I have modified the code as follows, but it is not working

Code: Select all

 //+------------------------------------------------------------------+
//| expert Visual Direction for disply function                      |
//+------------------------------------------------------------------+
string Direction(string symbol)
{
    double wo = GetMa(symbol, PERIOD_W1, 2, 1, MODE_LWMA, PRICE_OPEN, 0);
    
    double mA   = iMA(symbol, PERIOD_H4, 240, 0, MODE_LWMA, PRICE_OPEN, 0);
    double lO   = iLow(symbol, PERIOD_H4, 0);
    double hO   = iHigh(symbol, PERIOD_H4, 0);
       

    string retval = none;
    if (lO > mA)
        retval = up;

    if (hO < mA)
        retval = down;
      return(retval);
}

We have had a lot of success with NB 10.4 with this trend definition, it is worth a try here.

I will of course post any positive results of my experiment here.

Thanks in advance.
