Hi True777,
Does the MT4 indicator available here send you signals when applied on pairs other than GBP/USD? I'm seeing the arrows when applied only for GBP/USD. Could you please let me know if you did anything else to make this work? I would like to apply this indicator for the USD/JPY pair. Thanks,

Hi gantilk

I'm using Cowabunga-any pairV2, which is on page 10 and it sends out signals when applied to all pairs.

Andreas,
Thank you very much. I have set up the cowabunga any pair indicator on my MT4 client terminal successfully. BTW, do you leave your computer on all the time? I noticed that whenever my computer goes to hibernate, MT4 looses connection and reconnects when i log on again after hibernation. So during hibernation it does not send any signals.

Hey L G,

Yeah I use it on about 5 different pairs and the signals/arrows/sound waves work on all of them. If you having issues with it try reinstalling it and restarting MT4. I've actually edited my indicator and I had to restart my platform before the edits take affect. So if you were to change the sound wave into some "alarm" wave instead of the "email" wave then you'd need to restart and probably reload the indicator on each pair for that to take affect.

Hi gantilk

glad to see that that you got it working.
You are right, the computer needs to be connected all the time.
Please don't forget to reset (restart) MT4 after you received a signal.
From what I understand these restarts are still needed to keep the code active.

Not sure if this question has been asked already yet, but is the 4 hr trend decided only by the ema cross if "strict_4hr_trend" is set to false? On Pip Surfer's blog today there was a long trade at 3:45 am EST which the indicator missed. I think the reason it missed it is because there was a ema crossover right around the time that the trade was triggered, but when Pip Surfer took the trade, the cowabunga v2 indicator still showed a downtrend, which cancelled out the signal. The osMA, RSI and stochs looked good, it was just that the indicator still showed a downtrend, even though the ema lines had crossed. Is there a way I can tweak this in MetaEditor, or is it just "one of those times" when the indicator isn't perfect? I noticed that it will catch most of Pip Surfer's trades, but it does miss one occasionally (like today). The improvements made over time have made the indicator better, but like anything, it's hard to make it perfect.

Hi

I found that interesting website babypips.com and cowabunga system. I tried to load it into my MT4 (demo account with activtrades) and every single time I want to test it I receive no results at all and error : ' Cowabunga EURUSD,M15: SetIndexBuffer function must be called from custom indicator only'. I tried 3 different versoions I found on this forum.

Maybe somebody has an idea how to sort this problem out, please?

Thanks
Andrew

Ok...When i was getting close to get crazy, i found out what is wrong with the indicator.
After installing the indicator to my MT4, all i saw was blue and red lines...NO DOTS- NO ARROWS.(i know i know...GPD/USD, 15 min chart) .Just simple lines. I am using Ibfx's Mt4( mini demo acoount).Then i went to metaquotesnet and downloaded the platform from there.The indicator was working just fine..dots, arrows...everthing visible.What bugged me was what the brookerages firm have to do with it? I opened a "standart demo" with ibfx and YESSSSSSSSS...its working....but no luck with the "Mini Account"
Does anyone have a clue what might be wrong?I contacted ibfx, they had no answer to that...
