Very good information, CockeyedCowboy. Thanks for all of your efforts! Both you and rooicol are MT4 wizards!

Tick Size, Tick Rate, Tick Spread, and Tick Logger indicators

I'm glad you worked it out. Regarding trading and programming, I learn something new every single day. Yep, you are absolutely correct. These simple indicators take maybe 1 millisecond to process a tick. My best guess is that there is other internal ...

Tick Size, Tick Rate, Tick Spread, and Tick Logger indicators

Yep, that is correct. Well, I don't know what to tell you...it is working exactly how it should for me. Add the indicator to a M1 chart and I'm sure you will see that it is counting the ticks per bar as expected.

Tick Size, Tick Rate, Tick Spread, and Tick Logger indicators

rooicol - Sorry for the diversion here. Any or all of these posts will be deleted if you want. CockeyedCowboy - Ok...I see what you are saying now. The histogram is not being used for this exercise...the buffer data is the important piece. I simply ...

Tick Size, Tick Rate, Tick Spread, and Tick Logger indicators

The indicator is maintaining a count of the number of live ticks per bar received by the indicator. Since we are only interested in the live ticks, the current bar (index = 0) should be the only one that is ever changed. Remember...the purpose of ...

Tick Size, Tick Rate, Tick Spread, and Tick Logger indicators

Nicely done! On a somewhat related note that I'm sure you have noticed... It always surprises me how many ticks are missed by EAs and live indicators, especially during heavy activity. The attached indicator simply counts the live volume per bar. It ...

Tick Size, Tick Rate, Tick Spread, and Tick Logger indicators

I have an EA that creates multiple offline charts of various types (Range, Pivot, Grid, Tick, Time, Retrace). However, my EA only does live charting. It does not use the historical data (M1) to create history bars. Why? Because, to me, I only want ...

Searching for a bar type that is not Renko or Range bars

I call them Grid bars...don't know of any "official" name for them. I messed with them a little a while ago, but prefer Range bars instead. Here is a screenshot of a 12.5 pip Grid bars from last October:

Searching for a bar type that is not Renko or Range bars

The Breathing System should come in real handy.

The life of a trading system on Forex Factory

Lonestar...we've been through this on other threads before..some people will never get it. I think every trader should be required to spend a few days with an Excel spreadsheet and MT4 DDE to get a firm understanding of forex math.

No SL No Leverage Strategy - working so far

Now wait just a second, now you have gone too far... Justin can wear a costume if he wants. Who are you to tell who can and who cannot wear a costume? Edit: Sorry, I can't delete this OT post..."I am the costumer, we are the costumers not you"...too ...

Very good...thanks for clearing that up.

MB Trading Futures - Introduction

Well, I don't really think it would be the death of PFL. But, it is a bit odd that the alternative fee structure has been "leaked" a few times now with no formal announcement (or even a hint) of its existence. Justin, are there plans to alter the ...

MB Trading Futures - Introduction

Yes, I agree with you DrDave. I prefer the "scroll back" ability the TmaTrue provides. Although, it does appear some strategies use the previous cycles created by the TMA indicator for current trading decisions. In this case, a simulator would be ...

TMA Reality Tour

Funny...although those are the same fees I temporarily saw last month : url

MB Trading Futures - Introduction

The Trading Systems forum needs to be divided into 4 separate forums: 1) Discretionary Development - Systems still being developed and utilizing some type of discretion for trading decisions. 2) Mechanical Development - Systems still being developed ...

TmaSlope2 is a non-repainting version of TmaSlope. TmaSlope3 is a MTF version of TmaSlope. It is also non-repainting because it uses the previous bar of the upper timeframe for it's values. Yes, non-repainting. See post #1 for source code.

Assorted Indicators/Scripts

I have not used NinjaTrader enough to know the answer to that question. I think someone else on this thread showed how to delete bad ticks after the fact...that might help, but again, that would be after the fact. However, for the real-time creation ...

MB Trading Futures - Introduction

Range bars (and renko bars) can be a real challenge, depending on your platform. With a bar size as low as yours (8 pips - I use 7 pips), problems arise when we get these times of crazy volitility/liquidity - when the bid (or ask) can jump back and ...

MB Trading Futures - Introduction

Try the attached EA. It will display the seconds (with milliseconds) between the current tick and the previous tick (for the last 5 ticks). This should give you some ideas for your needs. I showed 2 different ways of getting the time - I think the ...
