Re: MT4 Indicator requests and ideas

TransparentTrader, Sun Nov 27, 2022 6:04 pm

kvak, mrtools, or any of the wonderful coders on this website: Would it be possible to convert the indicator below into MT4 format?

https://www.tradingview.com/script/ONXv ... nal-Index/


The code is below:

Code: Select all

//@version=5
indicator("MADX")
length = input.int(100)
mahigh = ta.ema(high, length)
malow = ta.ema(low, length)
maclose = ta.ema(close, length)
bear = mahigh/maclose
bull = maclose/malow
plot(bear, color=#f44336, linewidth=2, title="MADX-")
plot(bull, color=#006064, linewidth=2, title="MADX+")

I'm thinking this indicator could be expanded upon in numerous ways:

  • Being able to add all averages to the indicator so we aren't limited to just the EMA
  • Ability to edit which kind of moving average you use for "mahigh", "malow", and "maclose" for some interesting combinations
  • Modifying the length of "mahigh", "malow", and "maclose" separately so you aren't stuck with one length for all 3 parameters
  • Adding the ability to see the indicator in MTF/AHTF
  • Arrows for an entry that is visually easier to see
  • Coloring the candles to reflect when the indicator is in bullish/bearish mode
  • Alerts so we don't have to sit at our computers all day for a viable trade signal
  • A button for easier analysis and less CPU consumption

The code looks fairly easy to translate into MT4 language as it's only a few lines at most. Not sure if it is more appropriate to put it in the ADX thread or the Moving Averages thread.

I had the chance to do some very light backtesting on SPX500 1-minute charts using a length setting of 50 and it looks very promising. Losses are small enough that one winner can wipe a couple of them out.

Appreciate you guys and all that you do!
