On a hindsight, now that I have tested two of them with the same built (code) which continues to have the missing signals, do you think this has any thing to do with the strategy itself.  I tend to disagree with that thought, as the buy/sell comes when you change the symbols/time frames and when you look at the cross-over (I mean 3/8 over/under 18/28)  and this beats me on the strategy part.
I don't know what would cause this on two separate indicators related to each other since I have not seen it myself. I just took your word for it. I would say that it is just being caused by conditions not being met, but you say the arrows appear after re-initializing the indicator again. I think it might have something to do with the old coding.

Damn, my sincere apologies.

Initially I thought I had attached the wrong one, later when I checked I see that the one I was using (as you said) is a .ex4.  I just checked the net and got a mq4 file but for some reason doesnt attach to the chart.

Attaching the right now.  Let me know if you are able to attach it as I checked the code.

Got one more from the net and this one works on the chart without a hitch.

And the code remains the same. Sorry about the barrage of indies coming your way.

Regards
JS

PS : Just shortened the name, so that no confusion as all of them has the same name.

I checked the newest Sidus indicator and it works. The arrows look the same as the Vulkan Profit indicator too. Now that we have the source code, the only matter that needs addressed now is why it is missing arrows like you said.

Yes beats me really.  May be your review of the code could get some new findings on this behaviour.

I will review it when I get some time. If what you are saying is true, I'm sure it has something to do with the code. I can take the exact conditions now that I have the source code and add it to my indicator.

This is next on my list of things to do. If all goes as planned, I will have a new indicator version ready soon.

I have been reviewing and testing this indicator. About the RSI and CCI that was asked about, it is in the code, but it is not implemented. So they are just taking up space and perform no function.

About the indicator missing arrows, I was right before about the dots having something to do with the arrow conditions. They were not meant for TP by the original coder. They are required for an arrow to appear. However, they appear AFTER the arrows most of the time. Sometimes, they appear on the same candle as the arrow, but regardless the problem is that they are needed for an arrow to appear though. See the attachment.

So this is why the indicator misses arrows after it is already started and has been running, because when it is running it is not considering old candles to the left of the chart so far back. Yet, the conditions for an arrow require there to be a dot, but the dot doesn't appear until LATER. When you reload the indicator though, it forces it to consider all candles again, so arrows are drawn. This is why.

So here is what I can do. I can remove the condition for the dots to be required for an arrow. What will happen is you will get more arrows drawn though. Or I could make the indicator always consider past candles so it will draw arrows without the need to reload it. The problem with this though is that the new arrows will come delayed. This is because of what was said above about the dot being needed for an arrow to be drawn, but the dots appear AFTER the arrow.

Thanks for taking time to investigate, appreciate your findings.

Yes, now it makes perfect sense... Looks like we are in a catch-22 situation.  Either way we have to take the hit and if I may say doesnt serve the purpose that we intended to, from the beginning.  

Sad to see this behaviour, but sincerely appreciate all of your precious time spent on this one, which is very much appreciated.

Please feel free to close this thread. Thank you !

Warm Regards

Just let me know if you want anything done. I would recommend the 1st option. You may see more arrows, but at least there will be no delay and no need to reload the indicator all the time. If you don't want anything done, that is fine too and I'm glad you understood what I was saying.

Attached is the updated Vulkan indicator. I haven't tested it live, but it should do what I said before.

Thanks mate, appreciate your sustained efforts to make this strategy better (I hate calling them indicators :)).

Cheers

PS : Was not keeping well and hence the delayed response.

Dear Admin,

Appreciate your work on this indicator. It works great. Just wondering if it is possible to get the mq4 of the final version (Vulkan Profit MA Arrows) from you please?

Best Regards.
