Probably not surprising as the mq4 is more than 13 years old now. You could try deleting the mq4 file and downloading the ex4 attached to post #10 into your ..../MQL4/Indicators folder. Can't promise it will work but it might be worth a try.

If you set ProximityThreshold to 0, then the upper band of the EMA8 has to reach/cross the SMA200 for a long entry signal, and the lower band of the EMA8 has to reach/cross the SMA200 for a short entry signal. The criteria for signaling a short ...

Hi Ben, I'd need to see your settings, specifically ProximityThreshold. RSI will print on the dashboard only if/when the near side of the EMA(8) channel (as opposed to the price) is within ProximityChannel channel widths of the SMA(200). In my ...

Hello sir, I'm posting here so that I don't disrupt your thread. Just wanted to say thanks for your links to the COT (especially) and currency quake strength sites, which I haven't seen before. Both of these currently provide excellent free APIs ...

Not at all! I don't want to take the thread off track by posting my own ideas, but in my experience how a trader handles losses is a crucial part of risk management. Bottom line = $won minus $lost, therefore keeping losses small — but while allowing ...

ADX Looks terrible in MT4

In the screenshot below, the plot in the first subwindow is MT4's native Average Directional Movement Index. The second subwindow is a third party indicator that I found here using Google. As can be seen, both generate identical plots. It's a long ...

Here here and here are some YouTube videos explaining how to install custom indicators in MT4. Google also finds many others. Usage of the indicator makes sense only if you first understand the methodology behind LauraT's roadmap. For more ...
