Yes, the colored boxes are part of FX Volume. They don't "repaint", but they are "delayed", like fractals. So they can't really be used for Entries, but they might be usable for Exits. I rarely use the FxVolume indicator, but when I do I fiddle with ...

@AlienDog -- please save us both some time and don't bother. The code for the indicator is very simple. The code iterates from the oldest bar to the newest. OHLC data from more recent bars never touches previously calculated markings. Whatever you ...

XU v6-XARDFX is a beautiful indicator and is perfectly suited for swing trading. My initial impression is that it aligns very well with PlanetX, with PlanetX often times getting you into a trade a bar or two earlier. As I've mentioned before, when ...

Here's a comparison of PlanetX vs MACD (default settings). PlanetX is not based on MACD, but it does use algebraic formulas similar to 90% of indicators -- like Bollinger Bands, Envelopes, Ichimoku, PSAR, CCI, DeMarker, Force Index, MACD, Momentum, ...

Could you explain for me -- in pseudo code if you are not a programmer -- how only the last two or three candles repaints. Keep in mind that when running live or in Strategy Tester that **every** bar belonged to the last two or three bars at some ...

This should also quell the concerns about repainting. If fiddling with MACD creates an indicator that aligns with PlanetX, then PlanetX must be getting it right. Of course there will always be some who will then claim that MACD repaints -- that's ...

Good detective work -- but PlanetX is not based on MACD. But here's the deal -- > 90% of the indicators we all use are based on some flavor of MovingAverage. If there is a 'Period' parameter in the settings, then it shares the same algebra as all ...

Fellas -- it does not repaint. I've added code that resizes the Y-axis after each bar. The reason for doing that is because if there is a large bar off-screen then the Y-axis may be very large and that dwarfs the appearance of the most recent bars. ...

When trading H1 you really only need to get the direction right for a couple of bars. Below is one of my trades on a live account. In about an hour it is up 22 Pips. I'll close it shortly because I generally avoid trading the NY Open. Blue bars mean ...

I've already attached some of the indicators and I've given the names of the others. They are readily available with minimal searching. I have neither the time nor desire to hold someone's hand. This has nothing to do with language -- you are lazy ...

Nope -- doesn't repaint. You claim the same thing with @mladen's indicators because they are better than yours. There is a difference between repainting and recalculating. Bullish versus Bearish bars do not repaint. The height of a bar may change ...

The image below shows how well PlanetX aligns with the "jurik smooth ribbon - zones" indicator. If you look closely you'll see that PlanetX would get you into a trade 1 or 2 bars sooner. Also, when using PlanetX you should pay attention to the ...
