Vladimir Karputov , aka barabashkakvn, from perhaps ukraine, posted on the mq5 site his Two MA Color N Bars Square - indicator for MetaTrader 5.......

this was something i had tried to do a few months ago, before finally setting it aside...... all it takes is a single concept error to end all hope.......

have written and posted hundreds or these type indicators for mq4....... they are useful to me.....

i modified , only slightly, his indicator to do what i could not before........ lines 75 and 90 in his code below......

his original is below,...... along with a hma(10) and hma(20)...... and alma and sma(200)...... you will need the alma and hma also..... will expand these.....

seems best to create a template......

the idea , for me, is small sized trades with prevailing trend....... h

//-----

he has a youtube channel...... some of his videos are translated in to english......

[hayseed]

the coppock indicator was intended monthly charts...... few can trade monthly charts...... not me for sure......

it seems to work equally well for me on lower timeframes......

if you looked at the math, it's really just comparing 2 roc's, rate of changes, and the creating a moving average of that change......

a single ma applied to the roc indicator is a very close approximation of the coppock...... such a indicator is on the mq5 site......

roc with a signal ma.......

the idea for me with both the coppock and the roc with ma, is to alert on the zero line crossing....... a 0 line cross with confirming hull and alma ma's seems a fair signal.....

had to edit the roc with ma to work with the mym, dow 30, futures....... some indicators will not work well with symbols that are whole numbers only......

note to me......

1. code a atr triangle projection indicator....... this is something i do manually.....

today is a terrible example because it is working so well.....

first place both horizontal and vertical lines on the days close....... then place rays above and below, about 1% or the daily atr...... extend out 24 hours.....

you will have a chart such as below.....

the idea is the atr is the atr for a reason...... h

the only thing more confusing than a dashboard with a hundred objects is a expert advisor with a hundred inputs..... at least to me......

as in the prior post chart , explanations can be written out....... there might be times where the room to do so does not exist......

OBJPROP_TOOLTIP lets us see the explanation when the the mouse curser is placed over the object...... perfect cure for a bad memory.....

my memory has limits...... h

this will be an issue for admittedly very few people.......

objprop_tooltip does not appear to work on undocked charts when the chart is moved to another monitor........... or at least i have not found a way to have it work.....

so if you have a multi screen setup and use/require tool tips, they will work best on which ever screen the actual platform itself resides......

by that i mean, on a computer with 3 extra monitors, if the metatrader platform itself is on screen 4, tooltips will work properly on screen 4...... whether the chart is docked or not....... but if you move the undocked chart to screen 3, the tooltips do not appear to work......

if you move the undocked charts to the computers main screen, the tooltips will work but will be incredibly small and out of place......

if the metatrader platform itself is on computers main screen, tooltips will work their whether the chart is docked or not...... however, like before, if you move the undocked chart to any other screen, the tooltips will not work......

you can of course have 4 identical platforms running, one on each monitor, which is somewhat of a workaround......

a workaround with a cost......h

Are you trying it with CopyRealVolume() or CopyTickVolume()?

 

[hayseed]

hey enivid..... thanks for the reply......

saw both those functions but tried neither.....

was trying the same arraycopy method which has worked without fail before....

the basic code is very simple, we both could write every line of it in our heads..... until volume for me.....

the only difference i can see is ivolume requires a shift where the others do not.....

the indicator sets all the global values for it's symbol and 7 common timeframes......

the dashboard indicator then cycles thru all the global values and displays them....

i will read up on the functions you mentioned.......

my goal is to see the coppock indicator and all others, in a single at a glance screen.....h
