Can you add the option to have zig zig into this indicator.
Thank you in advance,

Can you explain your request a little further. Provide drawing maybe.
hp983989 · Thu Oct 08, 2015 3:26 pm

Thank you,

Like this?

Hi Apprentice;
Thank you for you quick response. Please use the inds ZIGZAG_OSILLATOR that I had attached (needs zz_semafor for this). I need alert same like the CandleMeter but the alert is base on zizzag not by candle up or down since I used renko chart view. Here is the screenshot for USDJPY I like the arrow to alert when zigzag crosses above or below zero line. http://screencast.com/t/uSgpBb1495h
Regards,
HP

Hi Apprentice,
is it possible to add an option to the alert version of this indicator to ‘count small’ where the consecutive count or bar run will still continue if successive small body bars fall within a user specified value?
The value would be able to be specified to a fineness of 0.1 pip increments.
e.g. this:
would become this:
many thx in advance

excellent thx

The indicator was revised and updated.

I have just started using this indicator. The first time I got a notification I got error messages and the indicator display area goes blank. No email was received.
I have screenshots but don’t know how to attach them here?
Apprentice · Thu Sep 13, 2018 8:30 am
Fixed.
Forexer · Thu Sep 13, 2018 6:26 pm
Thanks for the quick reply. Does “Fixed” mean I need to download it and try again?
Apprentice · Thu Sep 13, 2018 7:31 pm
Sure.
Forexer · Fri Sep 21, 2018 10:41 am
Two questions.
Can someone please supply a link to the latest iteration of the Renko.
In FXCM MarketScope the bars don’t automatically update to follow the price, is that a known problem with the Renko?
I lie,
Apprentice · Fri Sep 21, 2018 3:40 pm
Try this version. viewtopic.php?f=17&t=66269
Forexer · Fri Sep 21, 2018 4:03 pm
Thanks Apprentice, will do.

Is there any way to get the CANDLEMETER OVERLAY WITH ALERT indicator to alert properly on a renko view?
Currently the alert only happens when the second reversal brick prints on the charts. The arrow displays in the correct place i.e. on the first reversal brick , but only when the second brick appears. This makes the alert late.
This is obviously some peculiarity associated with the renko view (the indicator works OK on a normal chart) but can it be corrected?
thx in advance
