I have a question. Would it be possible to make this ribbonsplotter indicator for MT4? Sorry for the long thing, could'nt attach the txt file.
Thx.
D.

Code: Select all

// Method DisplayParam() requires 2X number of bars that are shown on screen to be loaded on chart.  Otherwise, will not calc correctly.
// May be simpler to just specific vertical value for the two labels, and input an offset for the text of each label to start.

Indicator:      _RibbonsPlotter

Description:    This Indictor plots various types of ribbons (multiple bands of deviation functions)
                around a centerline reference function.

Updated:        02/18/07    original version
                09/14/08    fixed offset
                01/03/09    lower band function formula error correction 
                01/04/09    future projections added (FutureOffset = 1 or 2) 
                04/30/09    clean up and tighten code
                05/29/09    add display of input parameters on chart
                07/08/09    _BarsDisplayed function modified to minimize increase in MaxBarsBack
                            cause by back referencing to print chart labels after LastBarOnChart
                            reached.
                07/10/09    WVAP added to centerline functions 
                08/15/09    _RibbonsCalc function modified.  Band calculations done within this indicator
                            rather than within _RibbonsCalc, as strategies will also use _RibbonCalc
                            and strategies do not need calculation of ribbon arrays.
                04/11/10    added capability estimate next bar value of center line based on 
                            center line rate of change and acceleration.  This useful when used in conjuntion
                            with strategies that generate orders in Buy/Sell Next Bar at [value] format.
                06/02/11    Remove Jurik functions for forum posting.
                07/16/11    Replace function RibbonsCalc with local Method RibbonsCalc.  This avoids the added
                            complexity of sending a large number of parameters to function RibbonsCalc.                        
                01/01/12    offset calculation error corrected
                01/01/12    replace plotting code with Method PlotRibbons()
                02/26/12    include offset with JMA centerline calculation
                12/08/12    Error in label positioning on chart corrected.
                01/15/13    Improve labelling code.
                01/16/13    Add real time intrabar re-calculations
                01/28/13    Add display parameter offset
                02/23/13    Modify display parameters.
                08/06/13    Modifying position of display parameters to right justify against chart edge.
                11/02/13    Fixed bug with linear regression centerlines not recognizing the TargetBar input parameter

Requesting a 4 time frame asctrend signals..Ive download before in TSD..but now ive lost it. Sorry for troubles
Hi Kantan
It is here "4 time frame asctrend"
it is mtf,with alerts and Unique ID

Use it only if it can benefit you. Leave it if you don't know how to use it optimally.
