Need Help with indicator — Hello everyone, I decided to make the indicator to have Averaged Gains by default (so set to True), and to not use Pips As Whole Numbers (so set to False), to be like the original Sentinal. The appearance is no ...

Kevin, the author should fix the Revised indicator — Kevin, As you've hopefully seen, this was not the problem. The problem mainly was that JPY's two decimal places was causing problems. I should have been able to take your indicator and just ...

Well, made another version... — Alright. I decided to go back to Sentinel_Revised that Kevin posted, and just take out everything that might be causing trouble. I removed Averaging, so it is no longer a user input. I made PipsAsWholeNumbers to ...

Kevin please help — I was laying in bed last night and figured out I had made a mistake with the last indicator. OK. Let's logically work through this: USDJPY has two numbers after the decimal. One pip is 0.01. We want to make it 0.0001 to be ...

Fixed indicator: Sentinal_Revised_Extended3 — OK. I figured out I needed to divide USDJPY by 100 to make it 4 decimal places like the others, then multiply USDJPY by 100 to get whole number. These two moves strike each other out, so I removed ...

More proof of problem... — If you place the Sentinal Revised indicator onto a M30 chart (not USDJPY, just in case it causes a problem doing so, I don't know) using the defaults that came with it. Now place it again on the same chart with the ...

Don't use Extended indicator — I would recommend the Extended 2 version to use at this point, to test with. I would not use any of the indicators in trading until they can be verified to be correct in calculations (which we can do by manually ...

Yet another confirmation — Kevin, I have attached my original indicator I built, as yet another confirmation to what I'm seeing. This indicator looks like Sentinal Index and Sentinal Revised Extended 2 indicators when put on the chart. But my ...

Kevin, please check the revised indicator — If I look at last two bars on all 6 pairs' charts in FXDD, the time would be 2008.09.22 18:30 bar and 19:00 bar I'm looking at on all 6 pairs: EURUSD 18:30 close = 1.4695, 19:00 close = 1.4688, so ...

Multiply not divide for whole numbers — When using PipsAsWholeNumbers, I'm having to multiply USDJPY by 100, and multiply everything else by 10000, so no division. Once I get this figured out how to fix it in the code to read correctly when ...

Didn't work IMHO — Kevin, I remember I had to use 100 for USDJPY and 10000 for all others when I made my indicator (that didn't update correctly), to get the correct pip gains for all pairs. Trying 1000 for all places gives me results that ...

I was using FXDD — Just wanted others to note I was using FXDD when I told the times in the last email. If using MT4 download from MetaQuotes, it would be 09.21.08 22:54 to 09.21.08 23:19. It seems to me that FXDD's download keeps up with ...

WHAT A MOVE! — Had the Sentinal Revised Extended on EURUSD M1 chart, and it looks like between 09.22.08 1:54 to 09.22.08 2:19, that if "selling USD" (buying EURUSD,GBPUSD,AUDUSD and selling USDCHF,USDCAD,USDJPY) because it crossed below moving ...

Note for Sentinal_Revised_Extended — I've found that when I decided to add 'PipsAsWholeNumbers' Input to Sentinal_Revised_Extended, it reads the same on all charts except USDJPY (1745.92 vs. 174592). I know this has something to do with JPY ...

Sentinal_Revised_Extended — Kevin, First of all, thank you for fixing the indicator. Much appreciated. I see that you say the default moving average value should be 336, but in the revised indicator, it is set to 100. I made that change to be ...

OOPS, Forgot something... — Kevin, Forgot to ask: How can I change the indicator (new version) to add all pairs together and not average (so as to use it in a different way than NFP thread has been about)? Or does it not average? It's just ...

A question — Kevin, I've seen that it looks much different than the last indicator internally as well as on the charts. Since I'm working as well as trading, it may take me a little bit of time to get to checking it out. Don

Please Don't Let The Thread Die — Kevin, Don't know if you've had a chance to try to fix the indicator. If it would be easier for you, maybe a script would be better? I have a money management equation to add to an EA or indicator or script if ...

Kevin, ETA on fixed indicator or script? — Kevin, You said that chances were you would have the fixed indicator posted about a week ago. Can you please give an estimated time of arrival on that fixed indicator or script? Thank you, Don
