Thanks for your work, but to me the question ìs to put a  meta   * .ex4 ind.  as a custom indicator in FSB
Which will be the way to do that? ... Thanking in advance . Best regards. Jim7

I agree.  Also wish to extend thanx to all who freely
give their time and share this program,experience with usTom M.

Hi all,

Really geat job.

I suck in Mt4 programing so i decided to convert my used indicator to FSB who is a great soft.

I just discovring that .... i suck too.

Omg

Perhaps a paying service for programation will bi great.

Nice job

Bye

Is someone offering a coding service?

How many "clients" have you served already? Is Aroon Crossover your work?

Is this tutorial still good for today's indicators?

Thank you very much!

At the moment I don't have problems but I do have a question and the PDF did not cover it.

Imagine I have a strategy made of 3 pieces (most of my strategies do):

1) Basic indicator(s) logic on timeframe A (in example: 15m chart): moving averages crossing, channel breakout etc.

2) Only if 1) is true then check for a certain pattern on timeframe B (in example: daily or hourly bar). Example: detect an inside bar happened on daily bars NN days before today's session.

3) If 1) and 2) are true then enter short / long position until End Of Day.

How would I implement 2) and 3)'s End Of Day, considering the bars arrays examples I found only deal with timeframe A bars and not with multiple timeframe bars?

I hope I made sense.

If you need an working environment for developing custom indicator, it is best to use this project:  Indicators Included in FSB Pro Distribution

Hi, I have no problem with the part in the tutorial.  Where I do have a problem is when the code compiles fine but I get an error when I try to add my indicator in the Editor in FSB.  It's saying there's an array out of range and I can't figure out how to debug that.  Can someone please help?  I tried checking the logs and there's nothing.  A window pops up to mail the error but the box to save it is greyed out.   Is there some sort of SDK for the indicators to use it with Visual Studio for debugging?  Is there maybe a log file or debugging mode in FSB I can turn on to see the error?

Thanks!

Thank you Mr Popov, now I can see exactly where it's erring out! much better.

Took me awhile to figure out that I had to change the indicator in program.cs, but I figured it out

Also it didn't work in VS2013, I had to update to VS2015. I really like it!

also I *think* i mostly figured out how the indicators work to open a trade.

you create a new IndicatorComp, and set the type to IndComponentType.AllowOpenLong. 
Then when that value is a 1 it will open a trade? Is that right?

It's a little hard to read, it's not as clear as in MQL where the code to open a trade is very obvious.

also do the trades open on tick data (intrabar) or bar open? Is that decided by the indicator or FSB?

Lastly, which variable is the current ask or bid price?

Thanks again!
Jim

We give the data series to the indicator via the Calculate method.

public override void Calculate(IDataSet dataSet)
        {
            DataSet = dataSet;

and can use is later view the DataSet class together with all market settings.

The oldest bar in Data is 0. Te newest bar is Bars-1
Example.
Oldest close is DataSet.Close[0]
Newest (or current if no OOS) DataSet .Close[Bars-1]

The, DataSet is defined in the base Indicator class where we have also "shortcuts" like:

        /// <summary>
        ///     Bar highest price
        /// </summary>
        protected double[] High
        {
            get { return DataSet.High; }
        }

        /// <summary>
        ///     Bar lowest price
        /// </summary>
        protected double[] Low
        {
            get { return DataSet.Low; }
        }

        /// <summary>
        ///     Bar closing price
        /// </summary>
        protected double[] Close
        {
            get { return DataSet.Close; }
        }

So, we can use the price directly with Close[Bars-1].
