This indicator is an implementation of the Second Entry concept as used by VinceVirgil on the CL and Mack on the ES (over at his PATS website). It is intended as a training aid and does not cover the more hard-to-spot obscure occurrences of Second Entries. One of the reasons for releasing this is to get input from more experienced users of Second Entries and, if possible, to try and refine the indicator based on this.
It implements the "classic" version of a Second Entry where the first and second entries tick above (or below) the previous bars. The indicator can optionally highlight the new high/low (the start of the "pattern") with a diamond, the first entry (with a dot) and the second entry (with an up or down arrow). The indicator displays the bar where a second entry may occur and deletes the symbol(s) if the bar does not tick above (or below where appropriate) the previous bar.
The indicator has the following parameters:
AudibleWarning - if this is true and there is a .wav file in the NT sounds folder called "SecondEntry_Warning.wav" then it will be played when an up or down arrow is displayed.
NumTicks - this is the number of ticks above/below the open of the bar that the up/down arrow is displayed.
ReqTickHFirstEntry - if this is true then a bar has to tick above (or below) the previous bar to constitute a first entry. If false then a bar at the same price as the previous bar will count as a first entry.
ShowFirstEntry - if true then a dot will be displayed to indicate the first entry bar.
ShowHistory - if true then the drawing objects will be left on the chart indicating previous Second Entry "patterns".
ShowPatternStart - if true then a diamond will be be displayed above/below the new high (for Second Entry Longs) or new low (for Second Entry Shorts).
