How do I use several buffers at the same time?
-
I have a multi timeframe indicator.
I want buy or sell only when the four signals turn green or red.
But ONLY for the first in a cycle!!!
Thank you for reading

Consider that the higher TF will repaint so the signals are not what you see on chart... Been there, done that.
This kind of Indis are useless for automatic trading. -
@clubdio this indicator shows when the CCI is above/below 0 value for each timeframe selected. I think is more simple place 4 condition block in a row, once for each time frame. Much more simple for the same result without indicator.
-
No, it doesn't repaint.
Unfortunately, it doesn't work that way, because it opens a trade at every bar where the condition is met.
That's why it should somehow only open at the first signal. -
-
Not my friend.
I tried that way, but it doesn't work!
At each bar where the four cci give a buy or sell signal, the EA buys or sells.
That would be a disaster!
The option is included in the indicator when you draw the arrow!
But I don't know how to use it.

@clubdio
I think you should first figure out if the arrows are objects or buffers. In case of buffer, using the block "indicator is visible" can simply get what you want. -
Unfortunately, it's not a buffer.
If it was, I would have been able to solve it by now.
I think object.
Don't you know a solution for Object? -
@clubdio
You can identify it with something like its time value. Then use the condition block to determine if there is any such arrow (object) in the current or previous bar. Job done. -
Yes, like @sktsec said, try use the 233/234 object. also you can try the buffer value, 1/3/5/7 for buy and 2/4/6/8 for sell.
like if buy buffers > 1, and sell buffers > 1
use 1 condition block for each, connect to AND block. -
I'm sorry, but I don't understand this anymore.
Could you show me? -
Press Ctrl+D, it will open the Data Window. You will see the buffer value there.
-
I ran the indicator in strategy tester just now and it repaints or lags. @Alex81 was right
-
Yes, usually this kind of signal repaints. You can still use it if only you can filter the signals.
-
If this indicator is repaint, don't waste your time. I've tried out many good looking indicators, the more accurate you see the less accurate they actually are.

-
This is an MTF indicator.
I've been using this for a long time, when the arrow gives a signal, it doesn't change after that!
It does not work in Backtest well.
I would like Ea from it. -
@clubdio
So you can still use the condition block to identify the arrows -
But how?
I dont know.
Show me if you know .
I don't see anything in the condition block where I can use the arrow. -
@clubdio
As you care this indicator a lot so I look into it more carefully.You have 8 indicator buffers.
Buy signal if and only if 1,2,3,4 appear in 1st, 3rd, 5th and 7th buffer.
Sell signal if and only if 1,2,3,4 appear in 2nd, 4th, 6th and 8th buffer.
You can use this logic combination to get what you want.
