I need to understand the logic behind the WTF calculations

Do the indicator Calculate the bigger time frame" weekly for example" from Weekly data .csv file or it calculate it from the daily data bars " 5 days " i.e from 1440.csv file!!!!!!!

This is what i think also

I have an idea i don't if it could be applicable because in my point of view it will be the solution

" example of MA": MA daily rise also the Weekly rise So Buy

The idea is : calculate the weekly data from previous week data .csv and plotted as histogram on the daily data chart   and to consider the weekly indicator data histogram as an entry point " if existed so we look to the daily data if not so not looking" 
Example last week candle ends at " 1 December " so the new week days will be " 4,5,6,7,8 December " so weekly indicator MA data will be active on these days only as a base and start point to calculate the daily data , 4hr data and so on" and to be terminated and start that process again next week

Am i crazy or that could be applicable

regards

Yes, I have this week found 2 bugs:

- 2 line indicators: "the ... line is higher than the ... line" (not level) -- only works in early part of data; if it's "... rises/falls", or " than the level line", they should be ok

- performance: they are slow, I am currently working on a workaround for it, about 80% complete

I will post these when the forum allows attachments again.

Each bar is the MTF of 5min, 15,30, 4hr and so on.

I don't know for sure, but my guess -- the MTF are close to accurate because they count number of bars, not the time of the bar. However, the MTF could be inaccurate -- if the data is missing bars. Then the MTF values in FST in real time (assume have all the data and bars) would not match the MTF values in FSB later when you backtest (if you are missing data and bars). FSB will alert if there is a lot of missing data.

thanks

Ok, so i replaced the HTF parabolic SAR with a WTF parabolic SAR,
but in the FSB it went from having trades over 11 years to 0 trades... is there a flaw
am I missing something?

I had problem with WTF Parabolic SAR indicator, the FSB uses it as one of the indicators but in the FST it does not show up as an indicator, even with me copying the entire custom indicators from FSB to FST.

Is it the indicator problem or is it FST's problem ?

Did you copy in to the folder when FST was running? If so, have to reload custom indicators. Try this:

1) Tools > Custom Indicators > Reload the Custom Indicators

2) Close FST and restart

Let me know if this does not work, thanks

Thanks for your help on this, there are a couple more ideas that could cause this, let's see if we can find it.

My first guess is the WTF is set to equal or less than your current time frame; in this case, it does not show, this avoids errors.

If that doesn't solve it, sorry, have to go the long way, here are some questions in order to help me figure out what's going on on your FST:

Can you see the indi listed after: FST> Add an Opening Logic Condition? Verify after setting first logic slot to Bar Opening or Bar Closing.

Can you verify the indi is included in your strategy?

If the indicator is included in your strategy, can you see the indi info on the right when viewing the chart, in the dynamic info?
Example:

If you cannot see it in the dynamic info, can you verify the Wider Time Frame is higher than your current time frame? To prevent errors, if the Wider Time Frame is set to equal or lower than the current time frame (ex, current = m30, WTF = m5), it does not show up.

If you can see the dynamic info, does it have reasonable values? Example, for EURUSD, values around 1.32000, not values around 1320.000.

If it has reasonable values, are they within the range of the display axis of the chart?

If they are outside the display axis, what if you change the parameters to be very big or very small?

Thanks for your patience, let me know how that goes. If that hasn't found it, I'll have to think about this some more to figure it out ....

any of you knows how to make Heiken Ashi indicator (or Heiken Ashi smooted )with "higher time frame reference" (HTF)??

Thank you.

Please add WTF Volume indicator to the request list.

Is it possible to combine two or more indicators, for instance bollinger bands and rsi?
Such function is allowed in MT4.

Thanks,
