Hello,

I try to code an indicator in a separate window which is displaying a consistent wave between 1 and -1.
the length of the waves should be adjustable.

Does anybody know such an indicator? It would be great to use it with the dominant cycle and show the market cycles.

thank you and best regards,
mike

No this was only an example to show you how to create a sinus wave looking indicator. For a cycle analysis you need a streching and a shift variable.

BTW, this indicator works only in history, for the current bar, (i is always 0) it will not change value-

You have to find a starting point and the peaks/bottoms, maybe in combination with some regression analysis to draw automatic cycles, if you combine multiple timeframes you might get an overview of the dominat cycles.

Yea, website is beeing reworked, so currently we are not anymore updating this one. I have currently EA are currently in testing, they are not yet on the site because i am going to offer only forward tested EA's and i currently do not have enough testing data for a good strategy summary.

cheers

sure, the amplitude is not needed, the phase would be the same as the streching variable in the code from above, and the shift would be easy to implement, just change

sin[i]=MathSin((i*streching));

TO

sin[i]=MathSin(((i+shift)*streching));
