described herein and the templates that use them. Colors shown in the
External Inputs sections herein are for black charts. The “Suggested
Colors” sections herein include the colors for white charts.
 1. PVSRA TRADE LEVELS

User Notes:
This indicator is coded to run on MT4 Build 600+. It shows Trade Levels lines and
labels for trade entries (EP), for the average of entries (AV), and for selected take
profit (TP) and stop loss (SL), and it displays Profit/Loss labels for open and closed
trades. Everything is based on MT4 orders executed. A Summary follows. Details
are further below.

Preview
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
• All trade datum is automatically obtained from MT4 orders, no manual inputs
of price or quantity are provided except to display a trial TP and SL.
• Exacting line and label placements for all time frame charts is fully automated
using new MQL4 "Chart_Scale" tracking.

• Permits single side trading and hedging. Permits variable size entries. These
entries can be closed at different times and at different prices.
• Open and closed trades can be displayed on the same chart concurrently.
• Displays can be based on micro-lots, mini-lots, or full lots with a simple "1-2-3"
unit type input, making this applicable across the entire spectrum of forex
traders, and can be used to protect privacy of trade/account true size.
• The labels for EP Levels lines can be turned on/off for a cleaner chart when not
needed. When displayed, they include the number of units (of the units size
input selection) traded at each EP.
• EP/AV/TP/SL lines can individually be full lines, or just tabs for a cleaner chart.
• Price Dots at trade entries and exits improve visibility and can be re-sized.
• Connecting lines can be shown between EPs and the current bid/ask price of
open trades, and between the EPs and close prices of closed trades. These
lines are color coded to show if each specific trade is in profit or loss.
 • PL Labels for open & closed trades show number of EPs, number of traded
units, average pips, total pips, PL total money and PL account pct.
• A "Lookback" minutes input allows quick selection of time to go back and pick
up closed trades to show.
• The "yyyy.mm.dd hh:mm" start and end inputs can precisely define a previous
time period of closed trades to show.
• When multiple trades are included in the time span they can be shown as a
single group with one PL label, or as separate trades with separate PL labels.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Displaying EP Levels -
You can show EP Levels lines and labels. The lines span the chart to the current
candle, followed by the labels which include the EP number, price and size (quantity
of units of the lot type input). The size is highlighted with different colors for long
and short positions. If you show the labels for the EP Levels lines, the AV, TP and SL
lines will shift to the right to maintain good visibility. You can show the EP Levels
line as a full line, or as a short mini-line or "tab".

Displaying Price Dots and Lines -

For open and closed trades you can show lines connecting the EPs to the current
appropriate bid/ask price or closed price, color coded to represent if the trade is in
profit or loss. You can show at each entry price a Dot color coded to represent if the
trade is long or short. When the trades closed the Dot is ringed with the color
selected for closed trade rings. This enables you to easily see, if a number of trade
components remain active but some have been closed, which are the closed ones
and which remain open. The input "Dot_Size_12345" provides 5 Dot sizes to select
from.

Displaying the AV Line -

For open trades an AV Line is displayed. It shows the rounded off average price
for all open orders (even if varying in size), the number of open orders (separate EP
events), and the number of open units of the type input. You can show the AV Levels
line as a full line, or as a short mini-line or "tab".

Displaying TP and SL Lines -

For open trades the TP and SL lines associated with the MT4 orders are displayed.
You can override these values by putting other values into the External Inputs. You
might do this temporarily to help you decide the values to place with your MT4
orders. An asterisk appears in the TP and SL labels when you are displaying your
override values as a reminder they are not the values derived from the MT4 orders.
You can show the TP/SL Levels line as full line, or as a short mini-line or "tab". The
pips displayed at TP/SL are the rounded off total pips of all the open units of your EPs
of the type unit selected. It is presumed the user has set all orders to the same TP/SL
values, leaving none out and not setting any to different TP/SL values. When the
TP/SL is reached and the trade closes, the closed trade P/L might display differently
from what the open trade PL label showed due to the rounding of the final average
price which can involve some units closing at different, and sometimes better prices
than intended. Remember, if TP/SL lines are displayed, it is presumed all orders are
set to those values,....none excluded and none different!

Displaying Open Trade PL Label -

The open trades PL Label is displayed in the lower right corner of the main chart
window. It numbers the discrete EPs made, the total of open units of the type unit
selected, the average pips PL for each of the open units, and the total pips PL for the
units. You can also include the PL Money Total and PL Account Percent. If you elect
to show only EPs and average pips, the average pips are for each of the undisclosed
number of units involved, not the number of EPs involved. PL Label text changes
color between green and red for profit/loss in pips as well as in money. You can
have green text for the pips profit, but still have red text for loss of money and
account value due to commissions and swap charges.
Be advised that the MT4 Trade ledger individual line "profit" ignores
commissions and swaps. But the summation profit shown at the bottom of the
ledger includes commissions and swaps for all the line items. This can be confusing
and deceiving, especially when you might be looking to close a particular line item
soon as it is in profit, since the line item "profit" it is not the true profit!
 With this indicator, you can show either gross or net profit by setting
“Include_Commissions_Adjustment" and "Include_Swaps_Adjustment" both to
"false" or to "true" respectively. Their default setting is "true", to show net profit.

Displaying Closed Trade PL Label -

The closed trade PL Label displays numbers of EPs closed, the total number of
closed units of the type you input, the average pips PL for the unit type, and the total
pips PL for the unit type. You can also include PL Money Total and PL Account
Percent, with or without adjusting for commissions and swaps. You can select to
show just EPs and average pips for each of the undisclosed units involved.
PL Labels appear above or below the last close price of a trade unit in the trade
group based on whether the unit was closed below or above its' entry price. You can
raise or lower the PL label by increasing or decreasing the default offset input of
"30" pips.
There are five label height inputs allowing adjustment of PL labels for five
separate trade groups. The sequence 1-2-3-4-5 starts with the oldest trade group. If
more than five trade groups are to be shown, only the oldest five trade groups can
have their PL labels adusted in offset. The more recent trade groups will have PL
labels the same height as the oldest trade group. Obviously, it is better to limit the
display of closed trade groups to no more than five, and best to just show one closed
trade group at a time.
Whether you intend to show all closed trades as a single group with one PL label,
or as multiple groups with labels, you must specify the number of minutes
backwards from current time within which all closed trades will display. There are
two way to do this:
1. The simple way is to use "Simple_Lookback_Time_Span", which by default is
already set for one hour, an input of "60" minutes. After one hour the display of a
closed trade will disappear from your chart. To continue to display it, increase this
input, say from "60" to "600", to continue the display for a total of ten hours from
the time the trade closed.
 2. The exacting method is to set the year/month/day/hour/minutes for the start or
end, or both the start and the end of the period for which you want closed trades to
display. This method takes precedence over any value entered for the
"Simple_Lookback_Time_Span".
These start/end inputs must be in their default state (yyyy.mm.dd hh:mm) for the
simple method to work. You can copy & paste the "yyyy.mm.dd hh:mm" (provided
in the External Inputs) to these start/end inputs to return them to their default state.
All the trades closed within the set time span will be displayed. As mentioned
already, you can display them either of two ways, as a single group or as multiple
groups:
1. Set "Show_Separate_Trade_Groups" to "false" (it is "false" by default) to
show trades as one group with one PL label .
2. To show trades separately grouped with each group having its own PL label,
then set "Show_Separate_Trade_Groups" to "true". Now you must also define how
to separate the individual groups using the input "__Min_Minutes_Btwn_Groups".
You do this is by specifying a minimum time span between the last closed trade of
one group and the first closed trade of the next following group. For all the groups
to be shown, the time span to use is the one between the two groups with the
shortest time between those last/first close events. Specify the time in minutes
slightly less than that minimum time span.

Selecting the Unit Type Input -

The External Inputs start with "Show_Micro_Mini_Full_123" to input the unit
type number that will determine how the units traded and the pips involved are
displayed:
1. Select "1": Displays are in terms of micro-lots and micro-lot pips ($0.10 MOL).
2. Select "2": Displays are in terms of mini-lots and mini-lot pips ($1.00 MOL).
3. Select "3": Displays are in terms of full lots and full lot pips ($10.00 MOL).
For example, if you input "3" for standard lots, but make an entry of a half lot (5
mini-lots), and price moves in your favor 10 pips, then your gain is 5 standard lot
pips, not 10. As another example, if you input "1" for micro-lots but make a entry of
one mini-lot (equivalent to 10 micro-lots), and price moves 10 pips in your favor,
then your gain is 100 micro-lot pips, not 10.
Protecting your privacy is another feature of the unit type input. For example,
suppose there are three traders:
1. This trader makes a single micro-lot trade and selects unit type "1".
2. This trader makes a single mini-lot trade and selects unit type "2".
3. This trader makes a single full lot trade and selects unit type "3".

Due to the unit types selected, the three charts will display identical data, all
being based on "1" unit traded of the unit type selected. Anyone viewing all three
charts will see nothing that identifies the “1” unit type being traded as being based
on micro, mini or full lots. The only way a viewer of the chart can know the unit type
of the units shown is for the user to select to display PL Money Total in the PL Labels
for open and closed trades. Without this information, a viewer cannot know if units
are lots with $10 pips, or mini-lots with $1.00 pips, or micro-lots with $0.10 pips
(MOL, depending on each forex pair).

Setting Time Frames for Display of Indicator -

The indicator can be turned on/off without removing it from the chart. Also, you
can select a chart TF above which this indicator will automatically not display.

Chart Properties Settings -

For this indicator to properly display Chart properties/Common tab/chart on
foreground must be uncheck! The PVSRA templates already have this done by
default. If checked, then MT4 candles are on top of, and can partially or totally
obscure the Price Dots and other things drawn by this indicator.

 2. PVSRA ACCESS PANEL

User Notes:

This indicator is coded to run on MT4 Build 600+. It provides improved charting
features and displays, which are listed below. It is imperative to "set up" this
indicator as described in the "Preface" immediately below. Complete this "set up"
before using this indicator! Also, be sure MT4 is set to not show OHLC prices. In
Tools/Options/Charts "Show OHLC" should be unchecked. The PVSRA template is
already set this way by default.

The "Preface" Input -

Broker time is required by the code that features PivotsTz and vLines. When data
feed is live the broker time is available. When data feed is not live it is not available.
The purpose of this "Preface" section is to find and input the Clock location that has
the same time as the broker server. Then, even without live data feed we will still
have the equivalent of the broker server time to work with, generated by the Clock,
and the PivotsTz and vLines will always display properly. Perform the following
steps.
When there is live data feed use the Clock to find the Clock time zone location
matching the broker server time. Change "Clock_Normal_vs_Find_Server" to
"false". The Clock will display "B" (for broker server) at the time zone location
matching the broker server time. You can populate the Clock with all labels to find
"B" (see Clock instructions below).
Chances are the labels needed are already displayed. If "B" shows in the "GMT"
label during the non-DST time of the year (winter in northern hemisphere) things are
not so clear because London time is also GMT then. We can not tell from the Clock if
the broker server is on GMT all year, or on London time all year. Call your broker to
find out.
You now have the Clock Proxy Server TZ location, either from the Clock or your
broker. Type this location name, exactly as it appears in the Clock, into the Preface
input called "Clock_Proxy_Server_Tz_Location". Now change
"Clock_Normal_vs_Find_Server_Tz" back to "true" for normal operation. You have
successfully completed the steps to assure the correct and 24/7 display of PivotsTz
and market vLines. This indicator adjusts for DST changeovers when they occur twice
yearly, which happens at different times at different places. This is fully automated.
No adjustments for DST are required by the user.
The default "Clock_Proxy_Server_Tz_Location" is "Helsinki" because it is the
most popular time zone used for broker servers. If this is not the time zone your
broker server uses, then PivotsTz and vLines will display incorrectly. So, be sure you
follow the steps above to confirm this default selection is correct, and if not then to
find and input the correct Clock Proxy Server TZ location. Without an input this
indicator will not function. Be sure that "Clock_Normal_vs_Find_Server" is "false"
only when searching for the Clock Proxy Server TZ location. It must be "true" for
normal indicator operation.
Remember, if a change from the default setting was required, re-save your
template so when you call that template to a chart in the future, it will be the
corrected one!

Preview of the Displayed Access Panel and Other Indicator Features-

This indicator places an Access Panel in the upper left corner of the chart,
consisting of a Market Panel and a Clock Panel. The PVSRA template provides for a
proper display with chart/Properties/Common/Show OHLC unchecked.
The Market Panel can be turned on/off. When “on” it displays the items below,
and the Clock Panel can be displayed:
(1) Symbol & Period: The symbol for the currency pair and the chart TF.
(2) Spread: The difference (cost to trade) between the Ask and Bid.
(3) Ranges: The average day range, and the range achieved.
(4) Swaps: The long and the short swap rates.
(5) Candle: The time remaining for the chart current TF bar.
(6) Bid Price: The last (fractional) digit can be set smaller than the other digits. The
price changes color when the last full size digit reverses.
(7) The PVSRA Logo.
 When the Market Panel is on the Clock Panel can be turned on/off. It displays
time and location for seven different time zones that can be selected out of a list of
time zones available. It is also used during a time of live feed to determine the
difference between the broker server time and GMT, which is an input that must be
entered manually in the "Preface" section of the External Inputs. If a time zone
displayed happens to coincide with the broker server time, your local time, GMT, or
the time zone selected for the calculation of pivots (if pivots are displayed), an
extension to the label will include the designations: "B", "L", "G" and "P" so you do
not have to waste lines to also separately display the Broker, Local and GMT time
zones.
In addition to the two panel sections, this multi-function indicator provides the
following services, which are listed here, and more fully described below:
1. A special Ask line and a special Bid line.
2. A background of level lines dividing the distance between whole numbers.
3. Natural Fibonacci numbers applied to the previous day range.
4. Daily or Fibonacci pivots, including mid-pivot lines.
5. Average Range H/L lines for the week and the day.
6. Day Separators.
7. Vertical lines at the open of the Tokyo, Frankfurt, London and New York forex markets, and
at the close of the London market.

1. Special Ask and Bid Lines -

You can select to place your own Ask and Bid Ray lines on the chart, which you
can vary in thickness and color. The lines end just beyond the current candle. The
Bid line terminates with a Bid Dot that can be sized and that changes color(example:
green/red) as the bid price changes(up/dn). To display only your own Ask/Bid Ray
lines, right click on the chart and select Chart Properties/Colors. Make sure the Grid
color = "None", otherwise the MT4 bid line is going to be beneath your own, and will
be visible from the end of your line to the chart edge. This is already done in the
PVSRA template. The special Ask and Bid lines can be subordinated to appear below
other chart artifacts, such as the candles and the PVSRA Solid Trend. You can set the
Ask line to not show above a chosen chart TF. By default, the Ask line is set to not
show above the M15 TF. See the External Inputs for other options.
2. Background Level Lines -
This indicator places level lines on the chart at key price intervals between whole
numbers (00, 25, 50, 75 and 00 again). The number of "sets" of these Whole, Half,
and Quarter lines is fixed by hard code for each TF chart. Information regarding line
features and spacing follows.
The lines can individually be of any available color, style and width. With Levels
"On", the half and quarter levels can be turned On/Off individually. The whole, half
and quarter levels also have separate "Max_TF" settings, which you can set so the
less significant Levels automatically cease to be displayed as you go up in chart TF.
Spacing between the Levels is 25 pips. For some currency pairs and other traded
instruments this might place the Levels too far apart or too close together. Adjust
spacing using "__Decr_Incr_Levels_Spacing" which by default is "0". Changing to "-
1" will space lines 12.5 pips apart. Changing to "-2" will space lines 6.25 pips apart.
Each reduction in number cuts the distance between Levels in half. Changing to "1"
will space the lines 50 pips apart. Changing to "2" will space the lines 100 pips apart.
Each increment in number doubles the distance between Levels. Remember, once
the default space setting of "0" is changed, the applied colors/styles/widths remains
the same but they no longer represent the whole, half, and quarter Levels! With the
variety of instruments available to trade, and the way the market has fixed pricing,
there is no simple code that will yield better results automatically.

3. Natural Fibos -
Fibonacci numbers are applied to the internal range of the previous day, as well
as beyond, both above and below that range. The "yHI" and "yLO" lines are
displayed from the start of the previous day session. The other lines are displayed
for just the current day session. An option called "__Use_Tz_Filter" (default is
"false") diverts calculations to the time zone shift coding in this indicator to find the
correct start of the previous session following partial days and holidays, which is the
only time this option might be needed.
The Fibonacci levels are applied to the internal range are: yLO, 23.6, 38.2, 50.0,
61.8, 76.4 and yHI. The levels are applied above and below this range are: 23.6, 38.2,
50.0, 61.8, 76.4, 100.0, 161.8, 261.8, 423.6 and 638.2.
4. Pivots -
Separate controls exist for showing the main PVT, the SR pivot levels and the
MID pivot levels. Up to five levels instead of the customary three can be shown.
You can use the Day or Fibonacci pivots formula. The main pivot (PVT) can be
constructed using two lines. The bottom line can wider with a highlighting color and
the top line can be narrower with a different color (Example: 3 wide Yellow bottom
& 1 wide Gray top on a white chart).
You can display broker server pivots, or pivots based on a different time zone
(PivotsTz). New coding fully automates the complexities of PivotsTz, such as timing
the hour shift for DST twice yearly, depending on when your broker server does that.
Your choice to use PivotsTz requires only three simple inputs.......
A. Set "__Use_PivotsTz" to “true”. If "false", broker server pivots are displayed.
B. Set "____Use_Preferred_Offset" to “true” for pivots based on the Frankfurt
time zone. If set "false" the input for "____Alternative_GMT_Offset" will be used.
C. The "____Alternative_GMT_Offset" is your alternative choice of time zone
location relative to GMT in +/- hours (examples: for GMT use "0", for one time zone
east of GMT use "1", and for four time zones west of GMT use "-4").

When Pivots are displayed, "P" will show in the appropriate Clock label matching
the time zone the pivots are based on. For PivotsTz, when the next PivotsTz day
occurs during the broker server day, the PivotsTz lines will suddenly change.
PivotsTz will display either "^", "<", or ">" in the pivot labels. By default, PivotsTz
are set to the Frankfurt time zone and will display "^" in the labels. If you select a
PivotsTZ time zone less than the default "<" appears in the labels. If you select a
PivotsTZ time zone greater than the default ">" appears in the labels. Broker pivot
labels display nothing extra.

5. Range High/Low Lines for the Day and Week -

You can display two horizontal lines, one for the computed range high target, and
one for he computed range low target. The range is based on the averaging period
you select (defaults: day=15, week=13). The special range averaging process for the
Day range lines skips any brief Sunday sessions of some brokers, which would drag
the average down. The Week range lines use the standard ATR formula since brief
Sunday sessions do not much affect the results.
A. Two conditions determine where range lines appear....

1. Condition #1 - the Day/Week range has not exceeded the average range.
* RDH/RWH line is the average range above the session Low.
* RDL/RWL line is the average range below the session high.
* The lines will move as new highs/lows are achieved during the session.
* Shows extent price can move before exceeding average range.
2. Condition #2 - the Day/Week range exceeds the average range.
* The range lines lock into place showing range breakout.

B. The purpose of the range lines is to provide a perspective on how far PA might
move during the trading day or week. This can be of some guidance in selecting
where to exit a trade. A swing trader might pay more attention to the RWH/RWL
lines, and hold a trade into oncoming days. However, a day trader looking for quick
profits and limited exposure to market price swings might pay more attention to the
RDH/RDL lines.

6. Day Separators -
You can apply day separators to your chart with this option. It lets you select
color and line styles. You can elect to show separators just for today and/or for any
number of previous days.

7. Vertical Time Lines -

For current and prior sessions the vertical time lines (vLines) for the London Open
(Lo), the New York Open (NY), and the London Close (Lc) will show, with options to
include the Tokyo Open (Fo), and the Frankfurt Open (Fo). New coding in this release
properly places these vLines throughout the year without any special inputs required
from the user, taking into account DST on/off changes as they occur at these
locations, as well as for your broker's server.
8. Addtitional Remarks On Displaying Horizontal Lines and Labels -
The horizontal lines and labels groups are Levels, Fibos, Pivots and Ranges.
• Levels are full screen wide with labels mid-chart.
• Fibos, Pivots and Day/Week Range lines are session wide with labels at the
start of the session until that moves off the chart. Then the labels are mid-
chart.
• When the chart is switched to H4 TF or higher, horizontal lines other than
Levels will display as just short lines starting at the current candle.
• Horizontal lines/labels (excluding Levels) have a “subordination” true/false
control to have them appear beneath or above other charting. You set the
maximum chart TF for subordination. A “0” setting turns subordination off.
The reason you might want no subordination for a chart TF higher than the
maximum you input is to let range lines show above the Solid Trend. They lay
below the Solid Trend on a lower TF by default. By default, “H1” is set as the
maximum TF for subordination.
• Broker servers at GMT/GMT+1 show a very short trading day at the new week
open, up to three hours. These hours are actually the final hours of the Friday
session. During this time horizontal lines and labels will will appear as they
were on the previous Friday until this short Sunday “wrap up Friday” period
ends.

 3. PVSRA NEWS PANEL

User Notes:
This indicator is coded to run on MT4 Build 600+. It places a News Panel on the
chart displaying up to seven news releases. Details are provided below.

Setting the News Panel Location -

The News Panel resides only in the first chart sub-window that is set up to show
the PVA Volume histogram. You can select to show the News Panel on the left or the
right, inside this chart subwindow. As the template is set, the NP (News Panel)
appears to be located off the bottom, but if you increase the height of the window
the NP will rise as the top of the window rises. The purpose of this top offset is to
have the most recent events disappear last whenever the chart is downsized. Charts
might be downsized so that multiple charts can be viewed when an important
release nears. When the chart is downsized, causing the window to be less high, it
will be the bottom of the NP that begins to disappear first, leaving the events
soonest coming as the last to disappear.

News Panel Contents -

The time, title and ranking of news releases are shown
Time is important. SM (Smart Money: investment banks, hedge funds, etc.) often
have advance knowledge of the essence of "official" releases due to their own
participation in the data gathering process. For the currency market there is no law
against "formal institutions" having and trading on "insider information." So, SM
can set orders in advance of releases and MMs (Market Makers) can move price
ahead of releases (called "front running") and use remaining time to fill those orders.
And the MMs can save the move that will make profits for their SM clients until the
time of the releases, or later.
 Title and ranking is important. The variety of low impact releases often have
little effect on price, whereas the variety of high impact releases can trigger a big
price move. Just understand it is not "news" that moves price. It is always the MMs
that move price. And they move price for commissions and profits, not because of
news content. If some catastrophic event happens and they can take large positions
for themselves and then gap price for almost instant profits because the market will
be forced then to trade where the MMs have taken price. The MMs frequently "stop
hunt", meaning they intentionally force price up or down the price queue looking to
trigger pending orders that close positions that the MMs themselves want. This is
legalized theft. Stop hunting price manipulation by the MMs often precedes their
front running moves before releases and moves at/after releases. Such price moves
have nothing at all to do with “news” or "free market pricing based on supply &
demand." The Medium and High Impact news releases are simply opportunities for
the Robber Bank Market Makers. And they tend to make more of these
opportunities than they do with the low impact releases.

Of the three impact level events (High, Medium, Low), you have the option to
show all three by selecting "3", or just the High and Medium by selecting "2", or just
the High by selecting "1". Previous/Forecast data is not displayed. Remember, prices
can go either way regardless what specific content is released. Releases do not cause
prices to move, the MMs do! They use the "news" as triggers. The MMs frequently
already have planned what they are going to do and how they are going to do it. So
"news" timing is more important then content. The MMs will move price how it
gives them profits, and that will not necessarily be in the manner that the "news"
content would logically dictate.

Prioritizing News Events -

Prioritization of events is fully automated and seven event labels are provided to
help avoid surprises. When two or more events occur simultaneously, only one
event of the highest impact displays. When events, per settings, are not scheduled,
text noting that appears. Events for any pair can be shown on any chart. For
example, show a CNY (China) event on a AUDUSD chart. You can also ignore the
chart pair itself, selecting only other currencies for news.
The News Alert -
You can specify to be alerted "x" minutes ahead of the scheduled release of
Event #1. When that time arrives, an alert will sound/appear on the chart. If during
the same minute, while the release time and the alert time are of the same minute, if
you change chart time framse the alert will re-trigger on the selected new chart time
frame. After that minute passes, there will be no re-trigger of the set alert under any
circumstances.

When "Alert_Minutes_Before_Event_1" is set at "0" the Alert is not set to

function. If any other number appears, the Alert is set to function. When the Alert
is set to function....
* If the minutes input is less than the time to the release of Event #1, the Alert is set
to trigger and "Alert Pending" appears in the News Panel title.
* If the minutes input equals the time to the release, the Alert triggers and "Alert
Received" appears in the FFCal title.
• If the minutes input now exceeds the time to the release, the release is
already one or more minutes into the past and "Alert Completed" appears
in the News Panel title. When this is the case, open the External Inputs and
reset the input to "0" to turn off the Alert.

Setting Time Frames for Display of Indicator -

You can select a range of TFs for the display of this indicator, so it automatically
will not display on a chart TF outside that range. The indicator can be turned on/off
without having to remove it from the chart, thereby preserving your chart settings.

 4. PVSRA DUAL TRENDS

User Notes:
This indicator is coded to run on MT4 Build 600+. It displays a solid Trend and a
Line Trend. The various options for each Trend are described below.

Solid Color Trend -

This Trend uses High/Low/Close prices and is solidly colored. It is intended for
use with the PVSRA Candles Set indicator which will draw candles on top of this solid
Trend. For proper display, the MT4 price display must be "Line chart" with
CLR_NONE" as color, and not be set to foreground. This Solid Trend is not intended
for use with the normal MT4 price styles, which will be obscured by the Trend unless
they are set to "foreground". However, MT4 price styles set to foreground obscures
features of the PVSRA Trade Levels indicator and the PVSRA Access Panel indicator.
So, to repeat, this Solid Trend is intended for use with the PVSRA Candles Set
indicator only! Be sure chart Properties/Common tab/Chart on foreground is NOT
checked! This has already been taken care of in the PVSRA template.
A. The period can be adjusted using the external input "Solid_Trend_Period".
B. The type can be adjusted using the external input
"Solid_Trend_EMA_SMA_WGT_123":
1 = EMA, exponential moving average
2 = SMA, simple moving average
3 = WGT, linear weighted moving average

Line Trend - This Trend uses Close prices. The period, type, style and width can be
changed to suit using the inputs provided.
Configuration Label -
A Label located at the bottom center of the chart shows the configuration of the
Trend(s) being displayed (TF,period,type). You can center the label with the
"Label_Shift" input.

 5. PVSRA CANDLES SET

User Notes:
This indicator is coded to run on MT4 Build 600+. It draws PVA (Price-Volume
Analysis) bars and candlesticks, as well as standard bars and candlesticks. In the PVA
mode an alert option signals when a "Climax" situation exists. Specific details follow.

PVA Bars & Candlesticks -

The PVA bars and PVA candlesticks are used together with PVA volume for easy
recognition of those specific chart time frame bars where special price and volume
situations occur. The special situations, or requirements for the PVA colors used are
as follows.

Situation "Climax"..... When volume >= 200% of the average volume of the 10
previous chart TFs or where the product of candle spread x candle volume is >= the
highest for the 10 previous chart time Tfs. Default Colors: Bull bars are green and
bear bars are red.
Situation "Volume Rising Above Average"..... When volume >= 150% of the average
volume of the 10 previous chart Tfs. Default Colors: Bull bars are blue and bear are
blue-violet.

PVA Color Options -

There are two PVA color options provided by "__Custom_vs_Default_Color",
true/false.
1. Custom: Use this option for the multi-color PVA display where you can change
colors. This option is to help those suffering from color blindness or with other
reasons for needing different colors that better suit them.
2. Default: There are no inputs. The traditional multi-color PVA display is hard
coded. You can easily return to this display anytime while preserving those changes
made to the Custom display.

Selecting the Type Price Display -

First, Chart Properties should be set so no color is assigned to "Line chart" and so
that "Line chart" is selected. This will prevent any MT4 drawn price styles and allows
this indicator to produce the various price draws. This is already set up in the PVSRA
template.

The PVA Bar Alert -

When displaying PVA Candles, the included sound-text alert will, if turned on,
trigger once per TF at the first qualification of the TF bar as a "Climax" situation. Set
"Show_PVA_Bar_Alert_Label" to "true" to be able to see the alert label. It will show
a green dot when the alert is activated and a red dot when it is not. Set
"PVA_Bar_Alert_On" to "true" to activate (turn on) the alert. The PVSRA Volumes
Set indicator has the same alert, and it is the one to use if you are using that
indicator.

 6. PVSRA VOLUMES SET

User Notes:
This indicator is coded to run on MT4 Builds 600+. It draws a PVA (Price-Volume
Analysis) volumes histogram in the first chart subwindow. An alert option signals
when a "Climax" situation exists. Specific details follow.

The PVA Volumes Histogram -

PVA volume is used together with a PVA price display for easy recognition of
those TFs when special price and volume situations occur. The special situations, or
requirements for the the colors used are as follows.

Situation "Climax"..... When volume >= 200% of the average volume of the 10
previous chart TFs or where the product of candle spread x candle volume is >= the
highest for the 10 previous chart time Tfs. Default Colors: Bull bars are green and
bear bars are red.
Situation "Volume Rising Above Average"..... When volume >= 150% of the average
volume of the 10 previous chart Tfs. Default Colors: Bull bars are blue and bear are
blue-violet.

PVA Color Options -

There are two PVA color options provided by "PVA_Custom_vs_Default_Colors".
1. Custom: Use this option for the multi-color PVA display where you can change
colors. This option is to help those suffering from color blindness or with other
reasons for needing different colors that better suit them.
2. Default: There are no inputs. The traditional multi-color PVA display is hard
coded. You can easily return to this display anytime while preserving those
changes made to the Custom display.
PVA Bar Alert -
This indicator includes a sound-text alert that triggers once per TF at the first
qualification of the TF bar as a "Climax" situation. Set "Alert_On" to "true" to
activate the alert.

Standard Volume Display -

You can display volume in the normal fashion. In either a normal or PVA volume
display, the standard bars can be set thin or wide.
