Super Support & Resistance

[gazuz]

how do I integrate this into an expert? I'm trying to use it for the DLM instead of using the normal S&R

Gaz, you can get current bar value:

double r0 = iCustom(Symbol(), Period(), "SuperSR7", SR_Step, SR_Precision, SR_Shift, 300, 0, 0);
double s0 = iCustom(Symbol(), Period(), "SuperSR7", SR_Step, SR_Precision, SR_Shift, 300, 1, 0);

r0 is current resistance, and s0 is current support

To get previous bar:

double r1 = iCustom(Symbol(), Period(), "SuperSR7", SR_Step, SR_Precision, SR_Shift, 300, 0, 1);
double s1 = iCustom(Symbol(), Period(), "SuperSR7", SR_Step, SR_Precision, SR_Shift, 300, 1, 1);

r1 is previous resistance and s1 is previous support.

Thanks, I'll check it out sometime soon (maybe this weekend). Hopefully this will help as I know the only reason DLM is failing with S&R is because of its consistent change and false signals

Scorpion, I put the code in there but when I hit compile it didnt recognize the parts SR_Step, SR_Precision, SR_Shift so it didnt want to compile, but if I remove them it wont work...


Any suggestions?

Here is the original part of the code to modify:

int OpenOrdersBasedOnSupRes()
{
   int myOrderType=3;
   double iTmpR=0, iTmpS=0;
   iTmpR = iCustom(Symbol(),0,"Support and Resistance",0,0);
   iTmpS = iCustom(Symbol(),0,"Support and Resistance",1,0);

	if (Close[0]==iTmpS) { myOrderType = 1; }
	if (Close[0]==iTmpR) { myOrderType = 2; }
	return(myOrderType);
}

and here is with the change:

int OpenOrdersBasedOnSupRes()
{
   int myOrderType=3;
   double iTmpR=0, iTmpS=0;
   iTmpR = iCustom(Symbol(),Period(),"SuperSR7",SR_Step,SR_Precision,SR_Shift,300,0,0);
   iTmpS = iCustom(Symbol(),Period(),"SuperSR7",SR_Step,SR_Precision,SR_Shift,300,1,0);

	if (Close[0]==iTmpS) { myOrderType = 1; }
	if (Close[0]==iTmpR) { myOrderType = 2; }
	return(myOrderType);
}

NOTE: I tried with both spaces and no spaces between the commas but it didn't change anything. I also put the indicator under experts/indicators and loaded it on the platform

I attached the full expert at the bottom of this un-modified

That's because you didn't declare the global variables. Ok, copy below code and paste on the top with other variables.

extern int SR_Step=150;
extern int SR_Precision=10;
extern int SR_Shift=1;

You can then configure these variables in Expert Settings window.

Alright I have one last question with the code

it says

	if (Close[0]==iTmpS) { myOrderType = 1; }
	if (Close[0]==iTmpR) { myOrderType = 2; }

my goal is to make it so I can set how many pips over the resistance and under the support. it doesnt have to be a variable but I am getting too many false alerts and trades because of the price bouncing off of it. Whats the correct manner to approac this? iTmpR+2 or something if i want to make it 2 pips?

Please let me know whenever you have time

[scorpion]

Maybe like this:

if (Close[0] > iTmpS + (Extra_Pips*Point)) { myOrderType = 1; }
if (Close[0] < iTmpR - (Extra_Pips*Point)) { myOrderType = 2; }

Then add the variable on the top:

extern int Extra_Pips = 2;

Hope this helps

Well that turns it into a scalper which I actually don't mind at all. I know how to make it into the + and - pips though is to change the > and the < into just equal signs. Now whenever the price is over the resistance it keeps buying and whenever under it keeps selling until the price goes back between the support and resistance

[scorpion]

So you mean there're multiple positions? If so, it's because the EA doesn't check if a position is open already or not.

[gazuz]

no I mean if the price is over the resistance it will keep buying after every cycle of the DLM is over, usually it only does one trade per cross then ti does whatever the DLM has to do.. but here it keeps going until it crosses back into between the support and resistance.
