Hi there folks. I just started recently using Multicharts and have programmed my own indicator into it.
I pick out double tops / double bottoms on my indicator and use them as signals therefore it would be really useful to automate this process, so I can be alerted when one appears, and also perhaps later on, use it as the basis for an automated strategy. I'm new to programming and although I intend to learn Easy Language it's beyond my ability right now.
Is anyone aware of an indicator that will search data and highlight or show where double tops and double bottoms are. On futures.io (formerly BMT) I can only see one for NinjaTrader and whilst there are a couple I've found that are on sale via other sites ($99 / $250) I thought I'd ask around before I go ahead and buy one.
What I'm not clear on is that if I buy one, will I be able to see / amend the code later on?
Thanks

Can you help answer these questions from other members on NexusFi?
Hi there, thanks very much for this but it doesn't seem to do the same as your chart when I put it on my chart...

I don't know if this can help U but I have this indie showing HH-HL-LL-LH and also DT-DB .
It's basic but it was a great help for me at my beginning.
have fun
That's really useful, thanks. Now I just need to work out how I get it to work on a line chart. I have an indicator I created and I want to find the double bottoms / tops on that. The indicator plots as a line whereas your indicator seems to the need bar values, rather than what is provided on a line chart.
I'm getting closer to what I need though...
I think I need to be able to set my indicator as a new dataseries and then use your indicator on the new dataseries...

Well I spent endless hours yesterday trying to find out how to use the indicator on this thread on my chart. My chart plot itself is the product of my indicator. I'm sure this must be possible but will most probably have to contact multicharts to find out how to do it.
