Hi!

I'm playing with a new system that uses 3 indicators 1) 60MA-(exp/close) 2) 5MA (Simple/high) 3) 5MA (simple/low) to define the Entry point.

Long Entry = opening of 1st candle to open > 5MA(Simple/high) AFTER the 5MA crosses ABOVE the 60MA.
Short Entry = opening of 1st candle to open < 5MA (Simple/low) AFTER the 5MA crosses BELOW the 60MA.

Can someone please help me with an indicator that will do 4 things when an Entry condition is met --

a) give an on-screen alert showing relevant pair,
b) put a large Green/Red arrow on the screen above/below the 50MA at the cross candle,
c) trigger the platform's alert.wav,
d) be able to send a push signal to my phone.

Thanks very much in anticipation. :good: :good:
Cheers

G'day mate! :hi:

HI! :hi:
This is looking good. :clap: :clap: :clap: After running it on the M5, M15, M30, H1 & it appears to accurately nail the entry points 80% of the time......

I've attached a series of screen dumps over different TFs where I reckon it missed an entry point. Would you please have a look at them to see if they correlate.

As I was doing this a thought occurred to me as to what is a valid entry condition. In Ducks I use an 8 candle look-back verification of trend-change.With this system it seems impractical to insist that the entry candle always be the next candle after the MA Cross candle (EURJPY M5) so... is it at all possible to have a MAX 8 candle lookback period between the MA Cross and the actual entry arrow on the candle that opens >/< the 5 High/Low??

Out with the girls last night for Rhi's birthday! They both send their regards!

Cheers now!
MIlle grazie!

The indicator uses exactly your described entry conditions, that there where sometimes differences from manul looking to the chart is normal, 80% hit of your strategy is really not bad imo..

Cheers and greetings to all :)

Mate, that's pretty much what I thought... but I had to check!
IMHO I reckon that you have done it again...Put the cream on the coffee!
Once again... Many, many thanks! :good: :good:
