Yes, you can code a DLL to do such a thing. Be aware, though, that EAs are easily decompiled. So, even if you build in a subscription check, someone who decompiles your EA can remove it easily. A safer route would be to code the EA which you give to ...

Subscription coding into EA?

Sure thing, donkey ... I forgot to mention that you can change the "percentage" parameter to any number you'd like. It's defaulted to 33.33% according to your original specs.

how to color signal bars?

You're welcome, glad to have helped.

You're welcome, no problem. With regards to the arrows, I think there are too many permutations of conditions. For example, you have the relative positioning of the Stoch main/signal lines, then the positive/negative AO, then the red/green AO, then ...

Ok ... I think I understand. Try this, then. There's no definite "trigger condition," but arrows will be painted whenever all Stoch/AO/AC conditions are satisfied.

Then, we're back to this post: So, now you are saying that the stochasitc cross itself is not the trigger. But then, what is? Something has to change from one definite condition to another definite condition (such as a stoch cross, etc) in order for ...

According to my interpretation, the box you drew should not have a sell signal, because the main line never crosses below the signal line in the box. It does correctly have a buy signal because toward the right end of the box, the main line crosses ...

The way I defined "stochastic crossing" is this: When the stochastic main line crosses above the stochastic signal line, this is an up-cross, or bullish-cross. (Qualifies for buy signals.) When the stochastic main line crosses below the stochastic ...

That's correct: no consideration of AC's actual value (positive/negative), only whether it's red/green (decreasing/increasing).

Hmm ... the code checks out according to your specs. My visual inspection of the results show the signals are ok on my charts. Can you post a few graphs to show exactly where the discrepencies are? That will help the debugging. Maybe I didn't ...

No problem, Friend. Best of luck w/ using it.

For Wolverine: Time-entry option added to the straddle EAs:

Hedge Expert Advisor!

The actual trigger (to give you the buy/sell signal) is still unclear. For example, a stochastics crossing would be a definite trigger. Or, the crossing of AO/AC above/below a certain value (such as 0) would be a definite trigger. Or, the change of ...

Problem with 5-8 Cross EA

"Both with stochastic crossed heading up" ... does this mean that you want the signal only when there's a stochastic cross? Also, do you want the signal to be based on the most recent fully completed, confirmed bar (2nd-to-last bar of the chart) or ...

A few suggestions: 1. If your spreadsheet supports DLL calls, write a DLL to link your MT4 platform and your spreadsheet. 2. Calculate the indicator value from the price data in your spreadsheet. 3. Print out the MT4 indicator value to a file, and ...
