I realized that posting an indicator here and an expert there results in total chaos sooner or later. This thread will help keep things clean.
I might post some experimental versions during the discussion, but final versions will always end up in this posting.
If you find the indis useful and donate to my PayPal account, you'll receive this little tool I wrote (see the image below). It loads MT4 history files and lets you browse them displaying multiple timeframes at the same time. There are several fast forward/backward speeds and the software shows you the candles unfold using 1 minute steps.
There is no actual order simulation included yet, though.
Second "donational" tool is ForexCalendar. It's a simple application that shows you the upcoming news and market open/close times and warns you 15 minutes before any event. It does the necessary time zone and daylight saving time calculations automatically. See the screenshot below. You'll receive ForexCalendar together with TradingTrainer.
Third is ChartHUD, a head-up-display indicator which shows the last 10 candles of the desired timeframe ON TOP of your desktop, above all other windows. So if you chat, mail, post in forums, you can still see the candles moving and react if necessary. See the screenshot below.
Script to set all orders to breakeven. SL when in profit, TP when in loss. Handles multiple orders of one pair by calculating the combined order open price.
Script for going short instantly.
Script for going long instantly.
Script for setting/moving the TP by dragging a line.
Script for setting the SL by dragging a line.
Script for placing pending orders and their SLses by dragging lines. Autodetects whether you want to go short or long and also if stop or limit order.
Displays recent and current &quot;Mighty zones&quot;.
Shows past orders and basic statistics (total and average wins and losses) directly on the chart. Longs are green and shorts are red.
Daily buyzone EA. Only opens trades. The yellow line can be used as a close line.
Hourly buyzone EA. Only opens trades. The yellow line can be used as a close line.
Interactive custom candle indicator. Select start and end time for the first custom candle by dragging two vertical lines.
Interactive EA. Shows a &quot;go short&quot; (red), a &quot;go long&quot; (green) and a &quot;close all&quot; line on the chart. You move the lines! Lighter color = active. Deactivate a line by deleting it.
Monitors the first psych line of the hour and reads out aloud (speaks!) the distance in pips in different voices, so you don't have to look at the screen all the time. Put the .wav files into the sound folder of your MT4 installation.
Displays time, price and pip change for the past few ticks.
Displays recent and present zero lines.
Acoustic alert when price &quot;wicks&quot; a zero line which was created one bar ago on multiple time frames.

I really like the DoubleAlert.
Makes finding momo trades easy with out all the flippin.
My Losses cause me Great Laughter!
I noticed the newer version of double Alert notifies you when a z-line gets wicked. Any way to change the settings so that it will also give a signal for a x.x size bar?
Would it be best for me just to use both versions at the same time?
From what I see there are many times that momentum is high enough that the wick never makes it back to the z-line. These trades will actually be of a higher probability for grabbing pips with less risk. Might even be able to ride some for a 2nd bar until momentum slows.
Not to add to your work load but maybe you could add a setting to the newest version.
I like the text signal, a nice touch.
So you want an alert that goes off at the beginning of a bar (bar 0), when the body of bar 1 (the previous) was at least x times the size of the body of bar 2? That can be done, of course. Maybe with adjustable x different to that in the old indicator?
blubb, do you code ea's?
I (try to) code everything if I like the idea. And if it's even possible of course. But I don't expect miracles from EAs. Some human interaction has to be involved in trading, I think, or it will not work.
Read through, if you like it, let me know as there a few details to go through.
I'll have a look at it, but I can't promise anything before the weekend. In fact I can't promise anything at all.
Actually all you would have to do is add a sound alert/pop-up to the z-line indy.
Every time the bar is twice the size of the previous(or what ever setting you'd like) then it would make a signal the alert when it paints the line.....All timeframes of course.
