Hi Foton,
could you post now the new version? Any luck with tracking the issue with FST ?

Hey,

Certainly I can post it now please find it below. It's not actually a "new" version, just a simple modification so that it's unidirectional as Ahmed requested.

About the trading issue - unfortunately still not resolved, I'm just planning to test these types of indis to see whether it is indicator or general FST problem. I suspect the latter, in both cases developer assistance is needed.

Footon, does this change affect your universal version?

//Old Code
for (int iBar = 4; iBar < Bars - 1; iBar++)

// New Code
for (int bar = firstBar; bar < Bars; bar++)

In old code, iBar doesn't reach curent bar Bars-1 and the signals are always late with one bar.
iBar < Bars - 1 vs  bar < Bars

Indicator was updated on April 12, 2012 due to a bug: Indicator doesn't trade.
Please update your indicator with attached to the first post.

Can I ask what was the bug?

O.K. I see. I will stick on generate for a while and see what I get.

It shows promise!

If I put this new indicator in FSB it fails to open any position at all.

It is unidirectional, that's the modification. Look at the indi screen - if there's a signal, it says "yes" on both long and short occasions. So, in order it to open positions, another indi is needed. If you wonder why this sort of mod was made, then please ask Ahmed, it was his idea and request - I only carried it out.

Hi Foton,
could you post now the new version? Any luck with tracking the issue with FST ?

Hey,

Certainly I can post it now please find it below. It's not actually a "new" version, just a simple modification so that it's unidirectional as Ahmed requested.

But still the main issue remains, code is fine, but in FST it does not trade. To me code seems fine, so there might be an issue with FST if these type of indis are involved.

You mean both cases, patterns should allow long and short at the same time? I think it should be possible.

I think it will be some how hard  , to allow both long and short for a pattern  its ok  but if you noticed they are two different patterns not only one    if you have any idea how that be happen it will be fantastic

regards

Dear footon

I think this type of indicators will work if it is non directional indicator i.e the action take by other indicators

Do you  or krog or any one here  know to modify the indicator to make it indirectional  indicator like inside bar or bar range indicators

Still I don't understand why it failed live trading, code seems fine,  but debugging isn't my strong side. It's possible that after the modification it still won't work, maybe we should wait for Miroslav to come back, not a long wait anymore.
