The indicator simply displays the first bar's open for every new date (comparable to the indicator OHLC Yesterday). This indicator was requested in the "Want your EasyLanguage indicator created, free?" thread.
In special circumstances the other priceline in this download section deletes trendlines from other indictors, so here is a modified version as an alternative.
Version also allows you to change the color based on actual candle.

The "NWT MA Trend Filter Ver2" is an indicator that can be added to a chart to show the direction of the trend. Apart from showing the usual Green = UpTrend, Red = DnTrend it can also show you Blue=Sideways action.
In order to differentiate between a Up/Dn trend and sideways action, we need to look at more then just the slope of the MA. This is where the idea of bands comes into play. As seen on the example chart and it's associated properties, if the price goes outside of the bands, the MA changes to display the relevant direction. If the price stays inside the bands for greater than the Sideways_Period, then we have sideways action, so the MA is painted blue.
The MA Type ie S,E,W,Z and the MA_Length and the MA Price ie "C" or (H+L)/2 may be defined. The bands and their visibilty may also be defined. In this example they are 1*ATR(14) from the MA.
The remaining parameter relates to a minimum price movement ie where the price is extremely small ie night time, then paint the MA Blue. If you just want a colored Up/Dn (Green/Red) indicator and no blue, then make the "Band_Distance" = 0 and the Minimum_Band=0.

This indicator contains the 5 Ichimoku indicators for Multicharts:
Tenkan Sen, Kijun Sen, Chikou Span, Senkou Span A, Senkou Span B.
The lookback periods for the Tenkan, Kijun, Chikou and Senkou B are user customizable through the Multicharts Format Indicators - Inputs menu. The colors and styles of all indicators, including the bullish and bearish Kumo cloud, are user customizable through Multicharts Format Indicators - Style menu.
Tips for setting up the Kumo cloud:
When inserting the indicator make sure the Chart Shift in the X-Time Scale settings is at least 26 bars (or actually the lookback period of the Senkou Span B divided by 2).
To plot the Kumo cloud the plot style for the Bullish Kumo Top, Bullish Kumo Bottom, Bearish Kumo Top and Bearish Kumo Bottom should be setup as in the attached picture.
For more information about Ichimoku Cloud trading I recommend the presentations of Chris Capre (webinar 16 November 2011) and Manesh Patel (webinar 6 December 2011) here on BMT.

I have a couple issues with the back testing "Strategy Performance Summary"
1. Excessive information spread over heaps of screens. Even after exporting to Excel
2. There is no analysis of the Exits Strategies ie how many times the Initial Stop/StopLoss was hit, Breakeven hit, Trailing Stop etc
So to this end, I created a spreadsheet that loads in the information from a "Strategy Performance Summary" and produces a single page report with what I feel is the critical information.
The excel file is inside the attached zip file. It uses macro's, so you may get a security warning ? It was also created with Office 2010, so I'm not sure if it will work on early versions of Office or not.
To use it -
1. Run MC and export a Performace Summary report in XLS (Excel) format.
2. Open the "MC Import Template - Ver1.xlsm", accept any security warnings.
3. Click on the ""Import File (Ctrl R)" button.
4. Select the exported file from step 1.
5. You will see things jump around on the screen.
6. When the import has finished, it will ask do you want to save changes to the original file from step 1. Typically say NO.
7. It will now ask you to save the new condensed file. Say Yes.
That's it .
Here is a sample after the import -
This report works well with the below "NWT Exits".

Signal name = "NWT Exits" Ver 4
Disclaimer - USE AT YOUR OWN RISK
"NWT Exits" is a suite of exits that can be combined into a system.
It has been tested on Forex and Futures data
Features of the suite are -
1) The whole suite can be applied to a specifically named strategy ie I may have a strategy called "XYZ" if this "UseStrategyName" is set to true
and the StrategyName = "XYZ", then the suite of exits will only work with this strategy.
This allows multiple strategies to be used on the one instrument
2) Will work on any instrument tick size ie increments of 0.00005 to increments of 1
3) All Stops are progressive, that is, the system will move from a InitialStop to a breakeven to a trailing stop.
4) Only ONE order is placed with the broker.
5) The chart dynamically displays the current stop type ie InitialStop, Breakeven, Trailing and also displays the current stop level (Green/Red Triangle)
6) Each of the trades on the chart has a number matching the trade list report in Multicharts
7) Each of the trades in the Exits in the Multicharts Trade log has it's own unique name, showing what the current exit was that closed the trade
ie "IS_LX" Initial Stop (StopLoss) exit
"TS_SX" Trailing Stop Short Exit
Because each of the exit orders has it's own unique name, further analysis (counts) can be done on how many exits
were InitialStop, Breakeven, trailing stops, big bars etc
8) Each of the Stop types maybe individually enabled or a combination maybe selected
The types of exits currently supported are -
1) Multicharts generic types ie setprofittarget,SetStopLoss,SetDollarTrailing but all with tick/point inputs not $$$
2) Forced Exits - Ie Exit after 3 bars. This is useful for testing how good your entry signal is.
Use this exit without any other exits. If you have a good entry, youshould have > 50% winners
Now look at the MAE to see where good InitialStop levels are
3) InitialStop (StopLoss) Exit - ie 15 Pips or a calculated vale ie "ATR(14)*1.6*10000"
4) Price Action Stop - In a Long position it would use say the lowest low of the last 3 bars plus a bit ie 2 pips.
5) BreakEven Stop - Set the breakeven Level and brokerage amount
6) Stall Exit - Say after 3 bars we are still not in a profit, lift the stop to the low of the current bar. ie Squeeze the non performing trade.
7) Nake Close Stop - If Long and the close > High[1] then the stop level is set to the low of the naked close bar.
8) Trailing Stop - This is a stop amount in ticks ie in Forex a value of 5 would be equal to 5 pips ie 0.0005.
As per the InitialStop a calculated value can also be used ie "ATR(14)*1.6*10000"
9) ADX Trailing Stop - this uses a ADX to influence how close to have the stop level.
As the ADX increase with the strength of the trend, the stop tightens on the price
10) Big Bar Stop - If a big bar is detected ie 2*ATR, then the stop level is adjusted to a percentage of this bar ie 50%
We want to keep a god chunk of these profits.
Neil.

the indicator request was to base it on the OHLC Yesterday build in indicator. This indicator will take the open bases o
n the date (open of the first bar of the day). I can do a modification that uses sessions for the open.
May 22nd, 2013 03:31 PM treydog999 I am having problems with it. I want to use it for the open of the globex session for 6E and all its doing is posting th
