thread: Recent Strength indicator

Im using MIG MT4 and that I can not even get the indior to pop up on the, custom indior list. I think I've done everything in order and I really need to try this out indior, but I am not that informed with this stuff. Any help would be appreciated, thx

Not sure why. All indiors reproduced into folder should reveal in the Custom Indior dropdown of MT4 Navigator, assuming that you exit restart MT4 after performing the backup, to refresh the listing.

You want to set up the ccy pairs which are being offered by your broker, in the parameter file, before it is possible to use the indy. A once only installation task. Example:
C1_Pairs_Wgts = AUDUSDm,100, AUDCADm,100, AUDCHFm,100, AUDJPYm,100, AUDNZDm,100, EURAUDm,100, GBPAUDm,100;

See post #1 for more info.

Refresh code is as follows:
Inserted Code extern int RefreshEveryXMins = 1; datetime prev_time; int init() { if (RefreshEveryXMins gt; 240) RefreshEveryXMins = 240; if (RefreshEveryXMins gt; 60 RefreshEveryXMins lt; 240) RefreshEveryXMins = 60; if (RefreshEveryXMins gt; 30 RefreshEveryXMins lt; 60) RefreshEveryXMins = 30; if (RefreshEveryXMins gt; 15 RefreshEveryXMins lt; 30) RefreshEveryXMins = 15; if (RefreshEveryXMins gt; 5 RefreshEveryXMins lt; 15) RefreshEveryXMins = 5; if (RefreshEveryXMins gt; 1 RefreshEveryXMins lt; 5) RefreshEveryXMins = 1; prev_time = -9999; int start() if (RefreshEveryXMins == 0) DeleteObjects(); PlotObjects(); else if(prev_time ! = iTime(Symbol(),RefreshEveryXMins,0)) DeleteObjects(); PlotObjects(); prev_time = iTime(Symbol(),RefreshEveryXMins,0); return(0);

Thanks for the code that is refresh, hanover. Makes total sense, off course.

The indy was set up correctly for me. I was merely responding to something that I read earlier in the thread.

My problem, whenever I change settings from the Presets--Recent Strength.txt file, these changes won't be accounted for once I start MT4 again, or even when I reload the indior

The file name must be precisely Presets--Recent Strength.TXT also it has to reside in the.../experts/files folder, otherwise the file will not be recognized. Then the entry in the ParameterFile setting (see image below) should be either TXT or left empty.

(Note: advanced users can use different extensions as explained in post #48 above).

Additionally, there is no need to restart MT4 after you have made a change. Do not neglect to re-save the file after the change (of course!) , and then tab back to MT4. Then you can'refresh' the indior by performing any of:
(1) switching between timeframes; or
(2) editing the indior (press Ctrl-I, then double click on the Recent Strength indythen click OK etc); or
(3) deleting the indior, and then reattaching itor
(4) pressing ENTER, typing in another symbol/period, and pressing ENTER again.

The aforementioned works OK on my computer.

Sorry, if this was asked before but why does the indior look like this in my IBFXm chart?

Sorry, if this was asked before but does the indior look similar to this in my IBFXm chart?

You want to put up the parameter file before you can use the indior. See posts # 75, # 72.

Ok, thank you

Can it work fine with IBFX mini accounts?

The indior plots on my additional broker but not utilizing IBFX mini. Currencies have prefixes such as EURUSDm. Is this okay?

Also, how many periods past (NumPoints) would you find to be most effective? 15, 25, 100...

I've an EA that I might have the ability to accommodate to utilize this indior but was wondering when the currency listing directly relates to the buffer info? (See pic)

Ok, got it, thanks.
As you can see, I'm awful for not reading the whole thread

I've just come accross this thread and read it from begin to finish. This strategy has a lot of merit and I am just wondering why it has been abandoned by people. Can we restart talks and attempt to finetune.
