So that I don't have to spend hours reading each and every page (where most of the entries are regurgitations of previous, already-answered questions), can anyone tell me what the current agreed-upon version is? Thanks and happy pipping

Hello,

I was hoping you may be able to tell me how I load the anypair_v2 file into MT4? Would really appreciate any help

Thanks

- Download the zip file from phil's link a few posts below
- Extract the files
- Copy the files to your C:\program files\[meta trader directory]\experts\indicators folder
- Restart MT4
- Expand the "Custom Indicators" tree on the left hand side of MT4 dashboard
- double-click "Cowabunga- anypairV2"

Voila!

Hello JDC,

Unexpectedly I am now busy at a time when I was supposed to be free for a while. So when I put the indicator into MetaTrader 4, it looked as though there was potential, but unfortunately I have not had chance to look into it further. Didn't want you to think you are being ignored.

At a quick glance mine appears to be doing as you describe so hopefully someone may come and help us with this

Good luck

The Cowabunga custom indicator doesn't show the 5 and 10 EMA lines. You'll have to put them on your chart separately so you can see them.

Hi PurpleFlamingo
Thanks for the reply.
In MT4 under custom indicater there is moving averages.
Do I set MA-Period Value to 5 and MA-Shift to 10 ??
I note there noting with Exponential Moving Average in the list?

You need the moving average under "Indicators" in MT4, not the one under "Custom Indicators."

Just add two of those to your chart and set one for a period of 5 and the other for 10. Make sure the method is set to "Exponential" and "Apply to" is set to Close.

Thanks very much for that.
I now have that on the graph screen moving averages.The other line on the screen is red and dotted which is the cowabunga custom indicator.
Are thes the correct two line that need to cross?
Thanks again
