Thread: Better SuperTrend Indiors

It showed me 103 errors too, As soon as I tried to compile. Thanks in advance brother. We all appreciate lots

The source for those indiors is supplied in the very first article. If you want to use the source you will need to remove the'.' In most all and in the parameter names instances of usage of said variables in the code. You should be able to do that, if you are going to build an EA then.

No, the xFSignals indior isn't updated for build 600 . It is old and for a method that no one uses as the machine was deemed to not be profitable. So I really don't think it has been used anymore.

Thank you a lot for your response Xaphod. I will try to remove the'.' From the source code and try to recompile. Will post my feedback shortly.
I forgot to add that there are not any usable factor that I can use to construct my own EA. Take for instance, how can I know which factor generates the buy trigger and one generates the sell trigger? There are only SuperTrend.Period and SuperTrend.Multiplier parameters and these are not enough. I need to get a rule that will generate an action for my EA to execute.

Please help me.

I can't instruct you to compose EAs in one post. Have you taken a peek at the various'EA generator' progr that one can utilize to make EAs which don't require much programming knowledge. An individual ought to have the ability to produce.

There are a range of tutorial available if you whant to find out mql4. Here are a few:

In fact, I'm using one of such EA generators... specifically the Strategyquant EA Wizard. But I am facing some issues in attempting to generate my EA since the EA magician will require that I need to input the egy rules. First, before I will tell I have to be aware of the parameters of this indior. Sad to say, the Supertrend indior just offers 2 configurable parameters (the SuperTrend.Period and SuperTrend.Multiplier ) and these aren't enough for me to provide the EA Wizard with the essential entry rules.

I want the EA to open a position only on the sign of this supertrend indior. I will define the exit rules... thats not a problem. My BIG PROBLEM is to be aware of the indior parameters so that I can input them to work on.

Could you please inform me the Supertrend core parameters... I mean the rules by which it generates its buy and sell signals. That will be a good point I suppose.

Thanks for all your help. I love so much

I am not positive if it is exactly the exact same supertrend indikator, (xSuperTrend), but it could work like that:
Inserted Code dual ArrowUp = iCustom(NULL,0,xSuperTrend,,,SuperTrendPeriod,Supe rTrendMultiplier,2,0); dual ArrowDown = iCustom(NULL,0,xSuperTrend,,,SuperTrendPeriod,Supe rTrendMultiplier,1,0); if (ArrowUp! = 0.0 ArrowUp ! = EMPTY_VALUE) BUY SIGNAL if (ArrowDown ! ) = 0.0 ArrowDown ! = EMPTY_VALUE) SELL SIGNAL

Thanks, fxdaytrader!
Hopefully this should be enough to get your EA working, odomike.

Except for the late response guys. Fxdaytrader, I truly appreciate your efforts but I am not a developer. So, I truly do not understand how I can implement the code above in my EA. I only use the http://www.egyquant.com/eawizard to try to change my manual trading egy into an EA that will automate my trading since I cannot concentrate on my trades while I do my other tasks. So, if you know how I can do this, please, please tell me. When you look at this page on the egyquant website; http://www.egyquant.com/eawizard/tut...diors#cimanual, you will understand why I'm asking for your Supertrend's parameters. There they explained the way to manually insert the custom made indior into the Wizard for building EAs. The EA wizard will need me to utilize the output parameters of the indior to tell it what to do. Something like,

When the Supertrend indior shows the buy signal on the chart, open a buy order.

However, the problem is that I don't know the output parameters with which the Supertrend indior displays its signs on the chart.

I really enjoy the Supertrend indior and it will be a large shame if I cannot use it in building my EA.

Thanks once again for all of your help Xaphod and you also fxdaytrader.

Output 1: The yellow line. Composition of the firebrick and the green lines.
Output 2: The firebrick line.
Output 3: The green line.

When the line is observable, the output is a price worth.
When the line isn't observable, the output is set to EMPTY_VALUE.

EMPTY_VALUE == 0x7FFFFFFF == 2147483647

Thank you for your response Xaphod. Are for the colours. But the Supertrend indior is not reporting these when I try to incorporate it. So you can understand what I mean, I'm attaching here a screen capture of this xSupertrend manual indior window with all the reported output parameters demoning. I'm not supposed to remove or add anything in there because that can provide results from the behavior of the generated EA.

Taking a look at the attached image, you can see it only reports that the user adjustable output parameters that it already shows in the metatrader 4 indior dialog box.

I want to understand parameter that informs the indior the way to calculate and understand when to demone the buy/sell signs.

What Xaphod wrote is correct, see also my posting (ok, the 0.0 appears to be redundant).

Are you sure that it is possible to add the supertrend indikator to that wizard? I think you have to options:
a) contact with the support forum of the magician (if there's one available)
b) Create the ea without the supertrend indikator and add it later manuallly via icustom.
