Indicator Visible - (Otherwise)
-
Hello,
I said it before and I will say it again "Thank you for your support"
I am having a bit of a problem with a configuration I need to have in one of my EAs. It uses the 3 Level ZZ Semafor. I have worked with this one before and have been successful but there is a trade condition I need to happen to tell the EA NOT TO BUY or NOT TO SELL.
I am telling the EA that if there is a Semafor (3) low, Buffer 4, 1-12 bars back do not sell. Also, if there is a Semafor (3) high, Buffer 5, 1-12 bars back, do not buy.
The problem is that I an using the indicator is visible and the connection otherwise... please see the attached screenshot.
It doesn't seem to accept this configuration as there are still trades being taken under the condition of where the Semafor (3) appears within the defined range.
I have tried using the "Indicator is Invisble" block with the proper defined conditions and using the orange connector to the block but this way it does not enter trades at all which there should be many still.
Can you suggest something or point out where I may have gone wrong with this?
Many Thanks & Best Regards,
Daniel

I think I found problem in "Indicator is Invisible" and I fixed it. Now it should work like the yellow output of "Indicator is visible". But what can I say for this indicator... what you see is Not what you get. It repaints so much. Honestly, I don't understand why and how people are working with Zig-Zag.
You can use "Trace" to see what kind of values are returned. When I do this with Zig-Zag type of indicators, I always end up confused and I don't know what is going on and why

It is ok with me as I use it only as a trade on break method in most cases. I just wanted to add the condition that do not trade if a HH or a LL appears or Semafor (3) in other words.
Thanks,

Yes, but Zig-Zag repaints so much that I just don't understand how anyone can work with it. Semafor is similar. What can I say.
You have the options. If you don't understand something, you can ask me how it works. If you think that some option shoud do something, but instead it does something else, then there are 2 reasons for that - 1) You misunderstood the option (probably I used wrong words to describe it) or 2) There is a bug. But if you understand the option correctly and there is no bug, then what is the problem? Maybe the indicator does not work as you expect. Then you can use "Trace" in Visual Mode to see how things are working realtime. I did that, but again, I don't understand those zig-zag indicators.
