I too am looking for a range bar indicator. Range bars are not dependent on time
but on depth of price action. Excellent for showing range and TREND
eg. if the user sets the range bar to be 10, then after every 10 pip, a new candlestick bar is created. The length of time taken to create the bar doesnt matter. So if eurusd moved up from 100, to 110 in 1minute, then one candlestick bar would be completed. If eurusd moved up from 100, to 110 in 5 hours, then again only one candlestick bar would be completed. Explanation of range bars here: Range Bars Thanks Would be very grateful if someone could code this indicator |

This indicator is quite simple but very powerful to see sentiment without up and down of the chart which is typically noise. //+------------------------------------------------------------------+ //| Linear Price Bar.mq4 | //| Copyright © 2006, Keris2112 | //| none | //+------------------------------------------------------------------+ #property copyright "Copyright © 2006, Keris2112" #property link "none" #property indicator_separate_window #property indicator_buffers 4 #property indicator_color1 Blue #property indicator_color2 Red #property indicator_color3 Blue #property indicator_color4 Red //---- buffers double ExtMapBuffer1[]; double ExtMapBuffer2[]; double ExtMapBuffer3[]; double ExtMapBuffer4[]; //+------------------------------------------------------------------+ //| Custom indicator initialization function | //+------------------------------------------------------------------+ int init() { //---- indicators SetIndexStyle(0,DRAW_HISTOGRAM); SetIndexBuffer(0,ExtMapBuffer1); SetIndexStyle(1,DRAW_HISTOGRAM); SetIndexBuffer(1,ExtMapBuffer2); SetIndexStyle(2,DRAW_HISTOGRAM,EMPTY,3); SetIndexBuffer(2,ExtMapBuffer3); SetIndexStyle(3,DRAW_HISTOGRAM,EMPTY,3); SetIndexBuffer(3,ExtMapBuffer4); //---- return(0); } //+------------------------------------------------------------------+ //| Custor indicator deinitialization function | //+------------------------------------------------------------------+ int deinit() { //---- //---- return(0); } //+------------------------------------------------------------------+ //| Custom indicator iteration function | //+------------------------------------------------------------------+ int start() { int counted_bars=IndicatorCounted(); int i; int UpDays, DownDays, NeutralDays; double BarH, BarL, BarC; //---- for(i=0; i<Bars; i++) { BarH = High[i]-Open[i]; BarL = Low[i]-Open[i]; BarC = Close[i]-Open[i]; if(BarC>0) UpDays += 1; else if(BarC<0) DownDays +=1; else if(BarC==0) NeutralDays +=1; ExtMapBuffer1[i] = BarH; ExtMapBuffer2[i] = BarL; // SortBuffer1[i] = BarH; // SortBuffer2[i] = BarL; if(Close[i]>Open[i]) { ExtMapBuffer3[i] = BarC; ExtMapBuffer4[i] = 0; } else { ExtMapBuffer3[i] = 0; ExtMapBuffer4[i] = BarC; } } //---- return(0); } //+------------------------------------------------------------------+ |

Explanation of range bars here: Range Bars Thanks Would be very grateful if someone could code this indicator I've developed range bar charts for MT4 for one of my clients. It is a script which is similar to period_converter. It creates a new chart which can be opened in the offline mode. You can drop any indicator on it and trade on it too. It is updated in a real time and for history it models ticks based on 1M bars. Anywone interested in this product can contact me at www.mqlservice.net |
