Cowabunga system MT4 indicator

[ybop01]

This is an indicator for the Cowabunga system. See:

The latest version. Should be pretty obvious how to use.

Unzip and put in the //metatrader 4/experts/indicators folder and restart MT4

ybop When I unzip the file there are 2 icons that appear. One that contains mt logo. The other is Microsoft windows uknown file icon. The MT icon will export to mt4 site but the other icon will not. I also placed in expert folder but nothing appears when I apply it to charts. Do not know what problem is. Thanks, jerry

Both icons should be put into the "experts/indicators" folder, restart MT4, and you should find it listed as one of the available indicators. Alternatively, you could try just opening the ".mq4 file and then compiling it (F5)

Anyone else having problems or know what stdummy might be doing wrong?

Ybo.

Have you backtested this system? If so, how long and what were the results?

Is this only good for a single currency pair ? If so which one? or is this good for all?

Thanks

It's not my system, it is "Big Pippins" and questions related to it should go to him after of course reading http://www.babypips.com/blogs/pip-my..._school_o.html

All I've done is made an indicator for it.

ybop done that, got it to MT4 will it only show when crossover occurs? and what will it do/look like when this happens

When a valid combination of signals occurs, a red/blue line appears below/above the graph. Red - go short, Blue - go long. Of course you have to be watching it so that you catch it. It just makes it a little easier to check than manually. On the 4 hour chart it displays at a glance using these lines, what the current longer term cowabunga trend is. It takes into account all the signals that big pippin uses.

Could someone please help me? I am very confused... How do I set up alerts for the Cowabunga system?
I am using FXCM Trading Station... Or do I have to use MT4? How do I configure either one to issue alerts?? Thanks!

hi

how do you decide which is 'the trend change candle' on the 4hr chart using the cowabunga system? what are the criteria?

please forgive me if this isn't the right thread.

thanks
