With this indicator you can create Overlay for most indicator over there. The available filters are. 1) Slope -based on a relation to previous period value. 2) Position - based on a relation to the signal line The signal line is the moving average of the indicator selected. 3) Level -based on a relation to user-defined Level 4) Overbought / Oversold - based on a user-defined Overbought / Oversold Levels

A Generic Overlay with alert, based on color change, would open up a world of possibilities.

Thanks

easytrading, It is possible in theory. The problem is, to have a candle overlay in one indicator, we have to have the whole bar of data. Only In theory u can write a signal indicator indicator, on the basis of which, Overlay will be generated.

I’m using the position relation to signal line and smoothing on the 1 minute chart. I’m sometimes getting a repainting of colors when I refresh the charts. Is this to be expected?


Re: Generic Overlay

Yes. All depends on the underlying inicator.

kindly Apprentice,could you add another filter to GENERIC OVERLAY that support (0 data stream) so we can overlay indicators that uses arrows or dots (NOT lines) like trend_signal indicator,please ? with many many thanks….

Unfortunately, we can not read all indicator output types. One example would be the fractal indicator. At best, some of them require a different logic. Therefore we can not provide a generic solution for all indicators out there.

Instead of a candle overlay, is it possible to create a bar histogram?


Re: Generic Overlay

Is it possible to convert the Generic Overlay Bar Histogram into MT4 format? If a general/multi indicator histogram is not possible, I most commonly use the CCI indicator and would be much appreciative to have the histogram back in my arsenal. Thank you.
