Trend_Magic Indicator

Recommended Posts

Does anyone recognize this indicator? It was a freebie with some EA promotion last year. I would like to code something similar. It changes color based on some long/short logic. They called it Trend_Magic.

if you can define the "long/short logic",

it can be coded.

This indicator is CCi based. It is indeed excellent, but there are better. Let me know if and when you need some help with it.

Best wishes.

Hey Sixpence, I found the Trend Magic to be very useful in forex trading as a SL trail method. You mention there a re better ones? Please let me know which ones you are referring to. Thanks

ATR based trailing stop

also refered to as a chandelier stop.

Is a Trend Following System.

Basically if the Close is above or below the 50 period CCI zero line. The 5 period ATR is used to draw the line above the High or below the Low.

 

This is the MT4 code. below it is the Tradestation Code which is much easier to understand regarding how it works.

 

-- original MT4 implementation © TudorGirl (AnneTudor@ymail.com).

 

function Init()

indicator:name("TrendMagic Indicator (new version)");

indicator:description("");

indicator:requiredSource(core.Bar);

indicator:type(core.Indicator);

 

indicator.parameters:addGroup("Parameters");

indicator.parameters:addInteger("CCI", "CCI", "", 50);

indicator.parameters:addBoolean("Signal", "Signal Mode", "Don't change this parameter when use indicator on chart", false);

 

indicator.parameters:addGroup("Style");

indicator.parameters:addColor("UP_color", "Color of UP", "Color of UP", core.rgb(0, 255, 0));

indicator.parameters:addColor("DN_color", "Color of DN", "Color of DN", core.rgb(255, 0, 0));

I agree Sixpence. There was a Supertrend indicator that I originally downloaded from BigMikeTrading. It was fantastic, and I rarely lost $$ using it.

 

However, the original one seems to have disappeared & another is in its place. Same name, different behaviours...and slower to give signals...cannot make it look the same.

 

Wish I could find the original again - it was fantastic. Will keep looking.....

 

When you say there are better, what are you referring to? A similar version to the one being asked about or something completely different?

    • @sxiqxx, Well done on making your first post a promising strategy. @everyone, post up if you want this coded into an EA. Although I switched to TradeStation, I still have an active MT5 demo with MetaEditor. I can code it without referencing object oriented programming which should be retroactively compatible with MT4. Let me know...
    • Please allow me to retort (in jest): RESPONSE 1 : Get a job supervising others where you're in control of performance reports and ride those others 100%. This makes your performance 100% with little to no effort.   RESPONSE 2: Feel free to piss off your boss but stay nonviolent. When the side effects of his viagra and testosterone boosters cause him to physically assault you, you have the legal upper hand. This can result in a boatload of trading capital.   RESPONSE 3: Feel free to have intimate relations with your boss if she finds you attractive. Rest assured that mum's the word because once again, you have the legal upper hand. This can also result in a boatload of trading capital.   RESPONSE 4: Don't be fake friends with any enemies... unless you need information from them. Being fake friends with everyone will cause you to become an empty shell of a person with no direction in life.   REPONSE 5: Get your boss to become reliant on your performance (really, just the performance of your subordinates), and then plan an "overheard" conversation wherein you fake an interview with another potential employer. You'll probably get a pay increase or a promotion.   RESPONSE 6: If you can give your 75% percent to a project, give 50% and rely on your legal upper hand(s). Learn to write trading algo's during your other 50%.   RESPONSE 7: Take all of the office boys out to nightclub where you merely sip soft drinks on a weeknight. Upon your return to the office in the morning, inform the security guards that all of the office boys are intoxicated. Your boss will love you for it.   RESPONSE 8: Never try to prove your client wrong or find faults in their processes, but do secretly collect their information in case you jump ship or "someone you know" decides to start his own company.   RESPONSE 9: Never stay in a firm for too long. Instead, use your ill-gotten capital to exit the rat-race and start trading.   RESPONSE 10: Trading pays more than your career. Interpersonal skills are now irrelevant. Use your technical skills for trading. Never stop learning and keep updating your technical skills.😁
    • There are a lot of trading strategies like elliot waves, wyckoff etc so we need to apply those who best suited to our need and are understandable too.
    • Scalping can be good during the high volatile markets however the new traders should be careful while entering and exiting the markets too quickly since they can make losses as well. If the broker support news trading we can make most out of the scalping in my opinion.  
    • In my opinion these candlestick charts are more easier to understand as compared with the other charts.
