New Features added on HTF Version 3.0.0:

- Time synchronization: the reconstruction of the bar is using the time synchronization calculation which means the reconstructed higher time frame's bar is using the actual time stamp.
- Correction on the previous bar calculation: if full bar data is selected then the previous bar calculation is using the previous higher time frame bar, and if intra bar data is selected then the previous bar calculation is using the previous current time frame bar.
- Additional of 39 originals indicators, and the next custom higher time frame indicators will be added soon.

This is wonderful, thanks zuijaideai!

HTF Indicators Ver 3.1.0

- HTF Linear Regression Slope
- HTF Vortex Indicators
etc.

Thanks
You are intelligent
This beautiful idea
-------------------------
I will try to test it

Hi FOX00,

You can do the parameter optimization for these HTF indicators the same like the current time frame indicators. However I didn't suggest this HTF indicators being used as a standalone indicator. It must be used in pairs with current time frame indicator.

hello
the box is gray and I can not check.
can you tell me what I should do
thank you

could you make  a HTF version of the pivot point   indicator
that show higher time frame   in the small one
It's important
Because it represents the resistance and support

Hi Corsica,

You can uncheck the Auto control of "previous bar value" under strategy menu. Then you will be able to use last bar value. But keep in mind that if you uncheck this value the FSB backtesting result generally will produce "amazing" result. However this result will drive you crazy when you are testing on FST using demo account. Why? Because last bar is a dynamic bar which always changing it's value every single tick. So if we use this as the basis for indicator calculation, the indicator value will changes as well on the last bar. So it will produce misleading or false exit and false entry signal. This false signal will drain out your balance fast in FST, eventhough it looks good in FSB.

Please be careful when using the HTF custom indicators.  They give great backtest results but many of them  actually repaint (similar to the Fibonacci indicator) and are therefore not suitable (IMHO) for real time trading.

Thanks Zenoni,
  I'm still experimenting with the HTF indies.  I only ever use one of them and am yet to achieve stable results when RT demo trading.  I'm using small TF (1,5,15) so I'm not sure if this is having a bearing on stability but what is a concern is that the last 25 or so back test journal results sometimes change after the data has been refreshed.

I'll review the topic that you posted.

The downside to the HTF indicators is that alot of new users (perhaps maybe new to forex trading) may use them because sufficient caveats haven't been made about them.

The simulation of HTF indicators isn't a viable solution because ideally what a trader wants is a static levels between the HTF period.  So for a 4 hour HTF one would desire the closing value of a given indicator at the end of the time segment and the opening value of a given indicator at the open of a new time segment.   

In the spreadsheet below there is a 60 HTF for the 5min GU.  A HTF frame indiy should only be concern with the opening and closing figure for that time segment.  So one would end up with 12 identical numbers (in the case of a 5min series with a 60 min HTF indy) instead of a constantly oscillating number (even if the oscillation is very small).  At the moment the FXSB HTF indy value constanly change (even if 'plot a full HTF bar' is selected)  as new tick data is received.  This is obviously going to lead to false exit, entries and whatever else when applied to real-time trading.  I can't think of a work around so I have now just deleted the HTF indies so that they're not picked up by the strategy generator. 

Maybe my logic is flawed so parhaps Denny can set me straight as it seems a pity to have to abandon such promising indicators.

Hi MaxB,

I got what you mean. You are right. The correct HTF indicator should be "staircase" shaped. If not then the false entry and exit might be generated. I'm still figuring out how to correct these HTF code because there are limitation on the FSB and FST base class. What I'm currently thinking is using the filter method to extract only the closing value of the HTF indicator only. Second possible things is to extract the HTF segment, compress it to single bar, perform indicator calculation and then decompress back the value from single bar to many bars. It will be quite a lot changes in the coding.  Thanks for your analysis and feedback. I hope I got time to do this correction.

Rgds,
Denny
