Hey Bourgenot,
Where did you get that mini-chart indicator on the right of your screenshot? That's a nice, quick way of getting a top-down view of what a pair is doing, and where it my be headed Thanks, Radar =8^) |

There's a much later version of that indicator, and it's very, very good It was designed for ForexHard's StairStepBreakOut strategy, here... http://www.forexfactory.com/showthread.php?t=302007 So many people tried to backtest the strategy and indicator, but what they didn't realize was that the indicator is the backtester... You configure the pip-range, number of bars, etc, and the indicator would look back 100 days on an M15 chart, and it would tell you how many trades would have been made, the percentages of winners and losers, and total pips earned. It really is a beautiful piece of work! Now, if I could understand the code in that, I would call myself a coder Have fun! Radar =8^) |

The original indicator is much better. Only it lacks alert after the new box. |
