My bad...I had some parameters changed before I took the Screen shot...

please check again the pivot rule maybe against the dwmPivots from Baluda... as I said above I changed some parameters before i took the Screen shot and set the pivots to only use Daily/Weekly Pivots...and thats why it looked different...it should work...please check and confirm if it is ok....

thanks in advance.

happy trading

HeikenAshi Candles are a little difficult to implement in this context...it would also depend on which HeikenAshi Indicator you use...I would try to have a look if you send me your indicator and only if you have it as mq4 otherwise forget it... .

1 Picture says more than 1000 words...would be great if you can add a screenshot and mark exactly what you want...

I already have different Rules for MAs in my Main Rule Tester...but didn't implemented it here since it was primarily for TMA Testing...

As I said I don't think it is suitable to this context (TMA)...but I will have a look at it when i see the HeikenAshi Indicator...

NT_RT_TMA
Current Version: v.1.0.1 released on 23.08.2012 New Version

nt_rt_tma all rules and manual ruleset.gif

Description:
Indicator for Testing Rules and Rulesets based on TMA and Pivots

This Indicator is meant to be used as Research/Analysis Platform to define/test Rules and Rulesets (multiple Rules) based on the TMA and Pivots.
You are able to combine different Rules into one Ruleset that will trigger buy or sell signals.
You can also use it to analyze Exit signals (opposite direction of entry signal)

This is only a subset of my main Rule/Ruleset Tester that I use to test different Strategies and Rules.
I put this together to enable our community members to do a faster research/analysis for their TMA/Pivot based strategies.

Credits go to:
ZZNBRM - TMA & TMA True calculations
Baluga - DWM Pivots indicator


Features:

• 3 Different TMA Rules to Test Entry/Exit based on Level, Angle and/or TMA-MA Cross
• 1 Rule to Test different Pivot and Pivot/Price Combinations
• Up to 7 Rules can be combined in one manual Ruleset
• Signal Trigger can be all Rules confirm one direction or number of Rules confirm one Direction
• No external Indicator is needed...TMA and Pivots are integrated
• All Settings for TMA available (tmaPeriod, artPeriod, tmaMode)
• Multiple Pivot combinations available (any combination of Daily, Weekly, Monthly and Price)

external Parameters:

• Base Settings
• Rule - Set to 1 - 7 to display only one Rule (for testing)
  Set to 0 - Ruleset Mode ( you can define your own Ruleset )
  
  Rulesets
• UseSelectedRules - If Rule=0 this must be set to true to enable Manual Rule selection
• SelectedRulesName - You can Define your own Name for this Ruleset (It will be the Indicator Name)
• SignalIfAllRulesComply - true = all selected rules must be in the same direction to signal buy or sell
  false = you can define the number of rules that must go to the same direction to signal buy or sell
• NumberOfRulesToTriggerSignal - Number of rules that must go to the same direction
• UseRule1-7 - true = this Rule will be used in the Ruleset
  false = this Rule will not be used in the Ruleset
  
  Global TMA Settings
• tmaTrueMode - uses the TMAtrue calculation, prevents any so-called 'repainting'
• tmaPeriod - change the tmaPeriod
• atrPeriod - change the atrPeriod
  
  Rule 1 & 2 - TMA TF & Level
• TmaSlopeTf - select TF for TMA
• TmaSlopeBuyLevel - change Level for Buysignal
• TmaSlopeSellLevel - change Level for Sellsignal
  
  Rule 3 - TMA 3 TF & Angle
• TmaSlope3Tf- select TF for TMA
• TmaBarsForAngle - change how many Number of Bars back (from the current Bar) the Angle calculation should go
• TmaPointsForAngle - change how many Points the difference between the bars should be to trigger a buy/sell signal
  
  Rule 4-6 - TMA above/below MA (applied to TMA)
• TmaMA - period for the MA
• TmaMAMode1 - Mode for the MA (0=SMA, 1=EMA, 2=SMMA, 3=LWMA)
• TmaMaTF1 - select TF for TMA
  Attention : If the TMA TF is other then current Chart TF the calculation can take some time. Be patient
  
  
  Rule 7 - Pivot Order
• addSundayToMonday - true = for those people who have Sunday candle
• UseDayWeekMonth - true = Daily, Weekly and Monthly Pivots must be in order to trigger buy/sell signal
• UseDayWeek - true = Daily and Weekly Pivots must be in order to trigger buy/sell signal
• UseDayMonth - true = Daily and Monthly Pivots must be in order to trigger buy/sell signal
• UseWeekMonth - true = Weekly and Monthly Pivots must be in order to trigger buy/sell signal
• UsePriceToPivot - true = Price must be in relation (above/below Pivot) to trigger buy/sell signal
• UseOpenPrice - true = Candle Open Price is used for Price
• UseClosePrice - true = Candle Close Price is used for Price

Example:

I release this as ex4 only for now.
If you want to reuse your configurations save them as templates.

If you have any further Feature Requests (eg. Rules) or find any Bugs please inform me here on the thread.

However they should show up in your custom indicator list. Not sure what went wrong there. It could be related to Windows 7 -- did you install Empty4 under C:\Program Files ? In Vista and Win7 that's a "protected" area, and if you try to put files there, it tends to squirrel them away in another hidden location. Win7 tries to make it look like the file is actually under C:\Program Files, but it really isn't, and not all programs handle this trickery well. No surprise, Empty4 doesn't.

Strong recommendation: install Empty4 somewhere else. C:\Program Files is a bad place to stick arbitrary files.
