This Helper will give Up / Down arrows on the basis of indications.
It have three filters. 1) MACD / Signal Cross 2) Price / MA Cross 3) MACD / Signal Cross with Price / MA confirmation
MACD Cross with MA Filter Helper with Alert.lua
Dec 26, 2015: Compatibility issue Fix. _Alert helper is not longer needed.
Also U have to install Averages Indicator for this one. viewtopic.php?f=17&t=2430

Hi Apprentice Please let me know how to use _Alertwith this signal. I mean what to write in parameters in _Alert.
Regards Uday
Apprentice · Thu Oct 24, 2013 1:22 am
Please activate _Alert. _Alert Is Indicator helper. U can activate it in the same way as a strategy.

Hello Apprentice
1). I am getting the alerts on CURRENT candle,which is not yet formed completly,which is causing some false signal. I need that,the ARROW (alert) should be formed(shown),only after the current candle has been formed COMPLETLY. Please look into the matter and please make the required updation. 2). One more thing,Please merge MACD Overlay2.lua with this indicator.
Thanks and Regards Uday Sharma

Hello Apprentice I really appreciate your quick update. 1) As I am selecting END OF TURN option,its coming with an error (pic enclosed),with no ARROWS.
Please let me know if I am doing something wrong. 2) And ,Please make an indicator having MACD Cross with MA Filter Helperwith Alert and MACD OVERLAY2.LUA both in one . Or please include MACD OVERLAY2.LUAwith MACD Cross with MA Filter Helper with Alert
Thanks and Regards Uday Sharma

Hi Apprentice, this is a very helpful indicator indeed, was such a great idea to write it! Can we please have a 4th filter (in the exact same fashion as the other 3 filters): The zero-line cross over/under (as this type of cross is such a crucial part of the MACD theory/interpretation). Thank you in advance for that!
Apprentice · Wed Dec 11, 2013 9:32 am
Histogram & MACD Zero Line Cross Alert Added.

Hi Apprentice thanks for the indicator. I’m getting the following error with this indicator: An error occurred during the calculation of the indicator ‘MACD CROSS WITH MA FILTER HELPER WITH ALERT(AUD/USD, MVA, 12, 26, MVA, 9, MVA, 9)’. The error details: C:/Program Files (x86)/Candleworks/FXTS2/Indicators/Custom/MACD Cross with MA Filter Helper with Alert.lua:439: The fourth parameter must be a number. Thank you an advance
Apprentice · Wed Sep 14, 2016 4:09 pm
Fixed.

Hello, I did a search with no success. I am trying to find a strategy associated with this indicator. Do you know one?
Apprentice · Fri Sep 15, 2017 3:17 pm
Can you define rules for such strategy?
papynou34 · Tue Sep 19, 2017 8:16 am

Hello, Open a long when a blue Arrow appears with x lots Open a short when a red arrow appears with x lots
Thanks a lot
papynou34 · Tue Sep 19, 2017 9:10 am
Sorry I forgot the close. Close position when opposite signal(arrow) appears.
Apprentice · Wed Sep 20, 2017 4:20 am
Are signals based on MACD Cross with MA Filter Helper with Alert.lua ?
1, “MACD/Signal “ 2, “Price/MA “ 3, “MACD/Signal - Price/MA Consensus” 4, “MACD/Zero “ 5, “Histogram/Zero “
Are all 5 signals needed or only one?
papynou34 · Fri Sep 22, 2017 4:12 am
Hello Apprendice, Thanks for your answer. In fact I would like to have the same rules for orders than for the drawing of the arrow on chart. That means for me draw arrow + open order. Is it possible to have this in the indicator instead of a stratégy?
papynou34 · Fri Sep 22, 2017 5:14 am
I guess I need just 1) MACD/SIGNAL. Thanks for the great job you perform.
