the MN1 shows up. I dont think I've changed any settings?? Unless it was after the 3rd glass of RED :smile:
macush.
If you are observing multiple time frames, remember that current higher time frame candle is still not closed so it can change while the price is moving up or down. It is absolutely normal behaviour.

Best regards,

Hi.

@macush
Possibly the last signal on the W1 was outside of the "BarsToCalculate". The default for this in the latest version is 5000, it was less before. You might use the old version of the indi or have changed that. At least you changed "IgnoreYellowWavys" to true.

@milosz
The indi works different. It only looks at closed candles on higher timeframes. But HGI signals can still change on closed bars when wavys appear, disappear or relocate.

Hi Tomele,
Thanks for this great tool, helps me a lot.
I took the liberty to add a user selectable item to it: TF Text Color: The TF text to the right of the bar is hard-coded to White, and thus invisible om my charts with a white background.My coding capabilities are second to none (Ask Steve...:) and are limited to trial/error/copy/paste. It compiled without errors, but just in case, I attach it here for your approval.
Cheers,
thomasmore

Hi.

Great to see you diving under the hood. We all started somewhere. Keep it up. :good: :good: :good:

Your addition is a wonderful idea and have hacked it into the version in post 1. :yahoo: :yahoo: :yahoo:

Cheers, Thomas

Hello Thomas,
I use a Hi-Res screen, and the symbols are a bit too small for my eyes. I took the liberty to add a user input called ' ArrowDotSize' to select a different size for Arrows and Dots. Did it by my famous trial/error/copy/paste procedure, and it compiled without errors, and it took me 4 hours less than the previous one. My Aha!-moment of the day.
I attach my mod version for approval.

Another thing: to save screentime, an alarm (PopUp,email,Push...) would be a usefull addon. I attach a picture to illustrate:
(for long entry)
1. at least 3 TF (current, +1,+2) have the same colo(u)r. [Alert: 3 Green on ABCXYZ ]
2. arrow shows on current+1: means Standby, wait for confirmation. [Alert: Arrow up on ABCXYZ, StandBy]
3. arrow shows on current: means Enter Long or Add to Position. [ Alert: Buy/AddOn ABCXYZ ]
-> we stay in the trade until the next condition:
4. the current TF loses/changes color. [Alert: ColorChange on ABCXYZ ]
(Or something better yet: a dashboard MTF and MultiPair that sits on one chart: the absolute Walhalla :)
Of course this is a wishlist.

Cheers,
thomasmore

There was nothing attached. But I will add this feature.

I will think about it.

The brilliant Rene has already coded something like that: http://www.stevehopwoodforex.com/phpBB3 ... 73#p105462
