thread: Recent Strength indicator

Hello,

just how are you? I implemented the indior sucessfully and would like to know which timeframes and NumPoints are setings from your experience for intraday trading from m15 and h1.
Thank you for the indior.

To install, copy the connected Presets--Recent Strength.TXT file into the.../experts/files folder; copy the attached Recent Strength.ex4 file into the.../experts/indiors folder, then restart MT4. Press Ctrl-N to open the Navigator, and drag the indior (beneath the'Custom Indiors' tree) on your chart. Establish the parameters to match (see the'PARAMETERS' section below), and then click OK.
To have any changes have immediate impact, either (1) re-attach the indior to a chart; (two )...

Hi David,

Your scripts is very great, thanks. However, I have a problem. I put the two files as you said. I didn't alter the setting, just change the colours. RefreshEveryXMin = 1 (I did not alter it). I place the indior. I can see the picture, the picture did not changed, even now is the 3rd day.... I click at other TimeFrame like 1Minute, but it still did not change.

The way to produce the picture showing the real value? I've done like you mentioned: (1) re-attach the indior to a chart; (2) edit the indior (press Ctrl-I); or (3) toggle between timeframes.
But it did not changed....

What is the issue? The way to refresh the picture?

Many thanks.

Hi David,

Your scripts is quite good, thanks. However, I have an issue. As you said, I put the two files. The setting didn't alter, just like what we see at input area change the colours. RefreshEveryXMin = 1 (I did not alter it). I put the indior at 4H TimeFrame. I am able to see the picture, the picture did not changed, even now is the 3rd day.... ...

Hello,

Just to be certain I understand correctly: you're getting some traces plotted, but they do not update?

First make sure have the indy installed in the.../experts/indiors folder (I notice you called it a'script').

Next make sure you have set up the parameter file correctly, to reflect the pairs being supplied by the broker. This is explained in posts #15, #24, #42, #72, #92. If the symbol names are not exactly correct, the indy will not gather data.

It takes some time for MT4 to assemble the necessary historical data - it can take 10-15 minutes initially, before the lines start to generate a sensible form.

-- Who is the broker, and what would be the currency pair symbols out there?
-- What version of Windows are you running, and what construct of MT4?
-- Are you having troubles with any other MT4 indiors updating?

Try setting up some other timeframes for your indy. Can they update - or is it only the H4 that's causing the issue?

If the RefreshEveryXMins = 1, then it should update once every minute.

If you tell me that your broker is, I'll download their MT4; also in the event that you also post your parameter document here, I'll attempt to troubleshoot further for you.

Hello,

Just to be certain that I understand properly: you are getting some traces plotted, however they don't upgrade?

First be sure that have the indy installed in the.../experts/indiors folder (I notice that you called it a'script').

Next ensure that you have setup the parameter file properly, to reflect the pairs being offered from the broker. This is clarified in articles # 92, # 15, # 24, # 42, # 72. Information will not be gathered by the indy if the symbol names are not just correct.

It requires time for MT4 to gather the required historical...

Hello David,

Many thanks. You nick name is Hanover, are you in Germany? Guten Morgen . .

Yes you're right, the picture isn't updated all the time (always the same for all timeframe, since 3 days ago).

-- Who's the broker, and also what are the currency pair symbols available?
My broker is FxPro which has most of forex, gold, index, etc... etc...
-- What version of Windows are you running, and what construct of MT4?
I am running WinXP SP3. Sorry, I don't know the construct of my MT4. The way to know that?
-- Are you having problems with some other MT4 indiors upgrading?
Other indior has no problem similar to this.

I put the'Recent Strength.ex4' file to.../experts/indiors directory
the file'Presets--Recent Strength' to.../ / experts/file directory.
Only these two files are putted beneath the MT4.

OK, I'll read these thread: articles #15, #24, #42, #72, #92.

I have attempted in other TF such as 1M, 5M, etc.. . But the result is the same. It's the same chart as 4H TF, something such as it looks to some fix result for every one of the TF. Something like once we make that at the first time, it will always like that forever (it seems to read that the result from cache).

The parameter I use is:
- Common:Permit DLL import, unticked / to not choose the Fixed minimum corrected max.
- Inputs: nothing changed
- Colors: 0 = LimeGreen, 1 Sienna, respectively... such as the colour at input.
- Levels: nothing changed
- Visualization: nothing changed

Many thanks David.

Hi David,

A Lot of thanks. You nick name is Hanover, are you in Germany? Guten Morgen . .

Yes you are right, the image is not updated all the time (always the same for all interval, since 3 days ago).

Hi David,

I edited the TXT file, and REMOVE ALL that the'//'. Restart MT4. But The outcomes are the same. Notes: a few days ago I putted all 3 files to.../expert/indiors.../expert/scripts at precisely the same moment. However, now I've delete all them, then place only two files. Ex4 to.../experts/indiors Txt file to.../experts/files directory.

Now I discovered a new file (excel document ) tabbed --Recent Strength in precisely the same directory with all the TXT file.
When I alter the time frame, the cande other indiors have been altered, yet this indior (in a different window, below the primary window) is not changed.

I tried to delete the indior window, then attach it . Now with this value (at input tab): ParameterFile =gt; TXT. The outcome is the same. Is it because in MT4 of cache? If so, how to remove?

thanks.

Hi David,

Hello Pedma,

Really I Reside in New Zealand. A company called when I signed up in 2006 back for FF Hanover Finance were advertisements on TV here. Ironically, they are in trouble.

Anyway, I have the indy working properly on FxPro here. I downloaded FxPro's MT4, opened a demo account, and ran Live Update (as instructed) for build 226 of MT4. You may view the build number with menu option Support....About... (see screenshot below).

I'm running Windows XP Home Edition SP2.

FxPro permits all 28 currency pairs (i.e. every possible mix of AUD, EUR, CHF, CAD, GBP, JPY, USD, NZD) that is great, because it means the indy will figure out the potency of each currency by averaging it across every possible pair.

I generated the attached parameter file in.../experts/files. I then attached the Recent Strength indy to a chart, and set ParameterFile = 1
None of the other parameter settings thing, because it will obtain them in the document. Unzip the parameter file in the attachment below to.../experts/files. That will ensure that we are both working with the same parameters.

The next step is optional, but it will ensure that all the necessary data is loaded from FxPro's servers. I loaded a new chart without a indys and pressed the minus key to zoom out as much as possible. I then opened the Market Watch window (press Ctrl-M) and dragged the first pair on the chart, i.e. altering the chart to that pair. I then cycled thru each phase (M1, M5,.... MN), and for each timframe held the PageUp key down for a few seconds until the price window has been half filled with candle data. I then repeated the whole process 28 occasions by dragging each of the 28 pairs on the chart, and loading data for each timeframe. The whole job took me about 10 minutes, a one-time setup process. Once the data has been loaded, the indy will not ever need to retrieve it in the servers. It makes certain that the indy has plenty of data to utilize, on all pairs along with all timeframes, right.

At the peak of the Market Watch panel there's a clock that shows MT4 time. Assuming that RefreshEveryXMins = 1 (which it definitely is in the attached parameter file), then whenever time ticks over to another second, then another price tick occurs on the chart to that recent Strength is attached, the chart upgrades itself. The change in plot shape is most evident on the TF plots.

It is definitely working properly for me here. I am watching the plot change as I type this post.

All I can suggest is that you try the above steps just as I did. I can not think of any reason why the indy shouldn't upgrade automatically, unless you have another software running on your PC that's somehow inhibiting MT4. Windows XP is very stable.

Good luck,
David

Hello David,

Wow you done it, I appreciate it. Thank you David. Ou, you're in New Zealand,.... And I'm sorry to know that your organization is in financial difficulty....

I'm also using Fxpro Construct 226 like yours, on WinXp SP2 or SP3...I'm not sure...

I've done just like what you mentioned from the start until the end. However, I got the exact same issue. Please see attachment. It is hard to see. How to make it wider so we could see it more clearly?

I send yuou 2 attachments. One is EUR-USD in 4H TF, the other one is EUR-USD in 1M TF. The end result for the both TF is the same ( or nearly the same, rather hard to find the distinction...)

that I think that it's something incorrect with my computer, but I do not know what's it... I only use some indior for some other pairs. Then start a new pair window, then attach your indior. That's it.

Thanks David.

Hello David,

I found how to make it larger, utilizing the ( ) tools... ... sorry, a newbie. .

I attempted again. I delete all of the currency pair. Then just open a new pair (only one window). I place your indior. Using ( ) I will see the picture is larger. However, the Effect for 4H 1M would be the same. Please see new attachments below.
It must be ALWAYS same for ALL timeframe (1M - MN)? Thus, we can see the indior?

Many thanks.

Please visit new attachments below.
It has to be ALWAYS same for ALL timeframe (1M - MN)? So, we just can see the indior moving on 1M TF?

When the M1 plot is updating, then all the other TF (timeframe) plots should be updating too. If you drag the separator between the price and indior windows upwards, you can make the indior window taller (such as in my earlier screenshot), which makes it easier to see any shift in the plot.

Remember that the more the TF, the slower the plots will alter. So maybe it is working correctly, but you haven't noticed it?

I can not think of any MT4 setting that would stop the indy out of updating. I have proved that the indy, when attached to a chart on FxPro MT4 build 226, updates on my computer. I really don't know what could possibly be different on your computer setup.

Sorry, but I have run out of ideas for you to try.

If the M1 plot is upgrading, then all the other TF (interval ) plots should be upgrading also. If you drag the separator between the price and indior windows upward, it is possible to produce the indior window taller (such as in my earlier screenshot), making it easier to observe any shift in the plot.

Keep in mind that the longer the TF, the slower the plots will change. So you haven't noticed it, although perhaps it's working correctly?

I can't think about any MT4 setting that would prevent the indy from upgrading. I have proved the indy, when connected...

Hi David,

Yes, you are right. In 1M the chart of indior has been changed. I will wait for the 4hours to observe the outcome. I believe it will be ok now.... Many thanks for your scripts, time help to fix my issue David.

Have a nice day David.
Thank you again.
