Dear all

This is my first time posting here. I very much hope that I am in the right area.

This is my first adventure to recode an indicator. It was nice to do after reading so much here on how to carry out.

I have the source file for ADX_Cross_Hull_Style. MT5

On testing the original file i saw that entry was coming in a little late so i went into the Source file and altered line 77 Shift from 0 to -1

I also changed some colors. I felt very good that indicator compiled with no faults went onto chart with entry looking nicer and colors as i wanted.

I then went to run back test but its not working with taking trades. I kindly ask if you can review my work and give guidance.

The file title is also very long can you advise if it can be renamed it so it goes onto xcustom in a simple way.

Also in my MT5 where within my indicators is this best housed. At present it is housed in Examples.

Looking forward to knowing where i have gone wrong.

Thank you in advance

Nicholas.

Hello.
Please attach your indicator

Please find 

Best regards

I looked at your indicator.
The fact is that he draws in the past, so the stars are beautiful.
there is no need to change the parameter inside the indicator, this breaks the algorithm.
input int Shift = 0; // horizontal shift of the indicator in bars

But if you change the shift in my Expert Advisor, then the signal can be shifted by 1 bar.

You have made my day a very happy one and your detail makes sense to me.

Thank you for taking the time to explain the detail you make is very easy to understand.

Once again thank you.

Dear Sir 

The indicator ADX_Cross_Hull_Style is a great main indicator to trigger buy and sell.

It works good with the adjustment you advise.    To help stop some negative trades i have tried to put filter using Corrected JMA as i see this would keep me out of some negative trades.

I thought as the Corrected JMA is a continue line indicator it would work.    I made the dotted line solid as i read filter works best if line solid and I changed colors it compiled with no issues and i felt good it would work.

On testing I have found it plays the main indicator up with little logic that i can see.

This shows main indicator ADX Cross Hull working nicely with no added filter used.



This is with Corrected JMA added it makes trades in a not logical fashion.



I have kept the inputs very basic for this test to help rule out any other interference.

Enclosed are the files for your reference 

Im very interested to learn what i have done wrong in this, it will be a big help for me.   i have spent almost all weekend trying to figure this one out 

One final question i have can you also advise if it is possible to make arrow buffer when the lines cross on this indicator that would work like magic from what i have seen.

Thank you in advance
