Will check if +DI/-DI have crossed. Input properties are the ADXperiod,appliedPrice,minDI,minMain. Note, the latter three are optional and can be omitted/left blank. minDI is minimum value of DI and minMain in minimum value of main value. For example, 14,close,25,40 would check that DI's have crossed and the one that has crossed has reached 25 or more and also the main ADX value, which indicates if market is trending, has reached at least 40. Finally, can also set Mid Point box to the maximum value of the difference between +DI and -DI that is allowed, i.e. if difference above Mid Point value the no signal/trade.

This is our own indicator that is intended to be used with other indicators to make sure the market has not moved too much before indicators were in agreement. It works by returning how much market moved since moving average cross (default 6 crossing 18), expressed as multiple of the Average True Range. Mid point box gives multiple which is regarded as moved too much.

[indi.mm] indicatorName=F:rwfxMoveMax inputProperties=6,18,0,ema colorIndex= captureMode=10 period=0 shift=0 midPoint=3 weighting=1 priority=2 nullValue=AUTO holdBars=

Will check the candles are correct color for trade. Can set Indicator Inputs to number of candles check, e.g. to only buy if have had two green candles then set this box to 2. If left blank will just be one candle. Finally, you can set Mid Point to ! if want a reverse signal, e.g. signal buy if 'red'/bear candle.

[indi.pa] indicatorName=F:rwfxPriceAction inputProperties=1 colorIndex= captureMode=0 period=0 shift=1 midPoint= weighting=1 priority=0 nullValue=AUTO holdBars=

[indi.rwtp] indicatorName=F:rwfxTrendPro inputProperties=3,0.8,20,75 colorIndex= captureMode=0 period=0 shift=1 midPoint= weighting=1 priority=0 nullValue=AUTO holdBars=

Will examine chart for arrows that an indicator has placed there. The Indicator Inputs is used to specify part of object name to look out for (leave blank for any) followed by buy arrow code and sell arrow code, all comma separated. You can find arrow codes from: link.
The default arrow codes 233 and 234 are for solid arrows. So, for hollow arrows would need codes 241 and 242, instead, so would need to Indicator Inputs box to ,241,242

OBJ:Arrow requires that the arrow is drawn on a specific candle, e.g. candle that has just closed. This should be set in the Shift box setting, which by default is set to 1, i.e. candle just closed. If the arrow appears on a random candle then will need to use OBJ:Latest to scan back. However, we don't recommend indicators like this as can give unstable automated trading and invalidates our retrospective stats.

Note, some indicators may use other object types to show arrows code, e.g. ARROW_UP and ARROW_DOWN instead of just ARROW. In which case, can set fifth input to *, e.g. set Indicator Inputs to ,233,234,,*

Note, if indicator sometimes places arrows with invalid price that need to be ignored then can set forth input to ^ to get the system to check for this, e.g. set to Indicator Inputs to ,233,234,^

[indi.obja] indicatorName=OBJ:Arrow inputProperties=,233,234 colorIndex= captureMode=0 period=0 shift=1 midPoint= weighting=1 priority=0 nullValue=AUTO holdBars=

Will examine chart arrow type objects but will check for color of object, e.g. useful if object is a dot that is the same arrow code for buy and sell except that it is a different color. The Indicator Inputs is used to specify part of object name to look out for (leave blank for any) followed by buy color and sell color, all comma separated. You can find color codes, e.g. clrRed from: link. Note, can set fith input which is type of object, can be one of: VLINE,HLINE,TREND,TEXT,LABEL,FIBO,RECTANGLE,RECTANGLE_LABEL,TRIANGLE,ARROW or can set to * if more than one (ARROW_UP/ARROW_DOWN) or unsure.

[indi.objc] indicatorName=OBJ:Color inputProperties=,clrGreen,clrRed colorIndex= captureMode=0 period=0 shift=1 midPoint= weighting=1 priority=0 nullValue=AUTO holdBars=

Similar to OBJ:TextStatic but will examine chart for static text label object and check the color of it. Useful for indicators that use a label text object on the chart that indicates buy or sell via its color. Input properties can be used to specify part of the object name to look for and colors for buy and sell, comma separated. The default is all label objects and will look for label set color blue for buy and color red for sell signal. You can find color codes, e.g. clrRed from: link

If multiple objects are found that match supplied 'part of object name' then will only signal buy/sell if all in agreement with the appropriate color. Can supply 4th parameter which is percentage of found objects that need to agree. For example, if supply Indicator Inputs signal,clrLime,clrRed,80 then will signal buy if 80% or more of found label objects that contain 'signal' in the name have the color of clrLime.

Finally, it's possible to supply an additional pair of buy/sell colors to be checked for, as additional inputs. This is where interested in two colors for buy (say lime and blue) and two colors for sell (say red and yellow). In this example, would put as signal,clrLime,clrRed,100,clrBlue,clrYellow [indi.obct] indicatorName=OBJ:ColorStatic inputProperties=,clrBlue,clrRed colorIndex= captureMode=0 period=0 shift=1 midPoint= weighting=1 priority=0 nullValue=AUTO holdBars=

Will examine chart for the latest object of specified type, searching up to and including the Shift box setting. Can look at various properties of the object such as it's name, description, color and arrow code. The folling inputs are available: type,property,buy,sell,flags. Type can be one of VLINE,HLINE,TREND,TEXT,LABEL,FIBO,RECTANGLE,RECTANGLE_LABEL,TRIANGLE,ARROW,BITMAP. Property can N=object name, D=object description, C=color, A=arrow code. The property can also contain part of the name need to look for, e.g. CRect would look at object color but only for objects with 'Rect' in their name. The buy is what is needed for buy, e.g. color, text or arrow code and sell is the same for sell. Flags can be F for if fill should be set, e.g. rectangle is filled, H for hollow and 2 means look at time2, e.g. if rectangle then time2 is right most time of rectangle.

Example: If Indicator Inputs is set to RECTANGLE,CRect,clrAqua,clrDarkOrange,F2 then will look for rectangle objects that have 'Rect' in the name and will return buy if latest one is colored Aqua or sell if latest is DarkOrange. The flags of F2 mean the rectangle has to be filled/solid color (not hollow) and will judge latest based on time of right edge of the rectangle, i.e. time2.
Note, the following link as color constants: see list.

Example 2: To see if buy or sell arrow is the latest, set Indicator Inputs to ARROW,A,233,234

Will examine chart for object with name relating to buy or name relating to sell and of specific type of object (default vertical line). First input is name that both buy and sell need to contain and second and third inputs are name that buy and sell need to contain, repsectively. The forth input is the object type, which can be one of: VLINE,HLINE,TREND,TEXT,LABEL,FIBO,RECTANGLE,RECTANGLE_LABEL,TRIANGLE,ARROW

Looks for latest rectangle with a view to signalling buy if price goes down to support rectangle or sell if price goes up to resistance rectangle. You only need to supply part of object name for buy (support) followed by sell (resistance). If multiple rectangles then will use nearest. As with other indicators, shift 1 will compare closed candle price with rectangles and shift 0 will compare current price.

Looks for objects of type TEXT. For indicator inputs, supply part of object name to look for (or can blank) then buy text and sell text. For example, if text objects that contain Label in their name and show text of LH for buy and HL for sell then set Indicator Inputs to Label,LH,HL

[indi.objt] indicatorName=OBJ:Text inputProperties=,á,â colorIndex= captureMode=0 period=0 shift=1 midPoint= weighting=1 priority=0 nullValue=AUTO holdBars=

Will examine chart for static text label object and check if is saying buy or sell. Useful for indicators that use a label text object on the chart that indicates buy or sell. Input properties can be used to specify part of the object name to look for and what it needs to say for buy and sell. The default is all label objects and will look for label text containing 'buy' or buy signal and 'sell' for sell signal.

[indi.obst] indicatorName=OBJ:TextStatic inputProperties=,buy,sell colorIndex= captureMode=0 period=0 shift=1 midPoint= weighting=1 priority=0 nullValue=AUTO holdBars=

Similar to OBJ:Color but will look for trend lines placed on chart and will examine color of line to know if buy or sell. Input properties format is the same as OBJ:Color.

Note, if interested in price crossing trend line then please use OBJ:TrendPrice

[indi.objr] indicatorName=OBJ:Trend inputProperties=,clrGreen,clrRed colorIndex= captureMode=0 period=0 shift=1 midPoint= weighting=1 priority=0 nullValue=AUTO holdBars=

Looks for latest trend line and sees if price has crossed it. Indicator inputs should be set to part of object name to look for followed by buy object then sell object and then optional flags. Note, for buy and sell object you don't need to give entire name, just part of it. If flags is set to C then buy and sell can be colors, rather then object name. Will trade buy when price is above buy object and trade sell when price is below sell object.

Note, similar to OBJ:Color can use color constants. Example, setting indicator inputs to trendBo,clrGreen,clrRed,C will look for latest trend lines with 'trendBo' in their name and trade buy when price above clrGreen line and sell below clrRed line. Note, can use same for buy and sell. Can also set Mid Point to ! in order to invert, i.e. trade buy when price below clrGreen.

Also supports where inputs supply entry object and stop loss object, so that knows if should look for buy/sell situation based on where stop loss is in relation to entry price, e.g. if stop loss is below entry price then will signal buy when price goes above entry price. To use set indicator inputs to entryObject,slObject. Can contain just part of the name, so can handle multiple historical objects and will just use the latest ones.
