Ton, Gerhard, Guy and Martin, thanks for your help on this topic sofar...
But depite your help I didn't succeed in getting a binary wave.

Did you get one, Simon?

I would like to put a trading system into the INDICATOR BUILDER and hope to see a BINARY WAVE...

For example (trading system):
ENTER LONG: RSI(14)<30 OR Mo(12)<90
ENTER SHORT: RSI(14)>70 OR Mo(12)>110

So I would like to put this into the INDICATOR BUILDER to get a BINARY WAVE. When this trading system generates a BUY signal the BINARY WAVE should jump to +1 (and stay there...) and only go back to -1 after getting a SELL signal (and stay there...).

I hope you can help me out.
Thanks in advance for your help!

Cheers,
Onno

onno,

give this a try.

Onno's Binary Wave

signal:=If(RSI(14)<30 OR Mo(12)<90,1,If(RSI(14)>70
OR Mo(12)>110,-1,0));
ValueWhen(1,signal<>0,signal);

{If(RSI(14)<30 OR Mo(12)<90,.5,0);
If(RSI(14)>70 OR Mo(12)>110,-.5,0);}

the last two if statements(in french brackets) plot smaller binarys on the same plot.i included them because nested if statements favor the first statement. so if rsi(14)<30 and mo(12)>110 you would still get a buy signal.

good luck,al

Onno ...

I have built the indicator you require and have attached a .gif to display the result.
The binary wave I believe is as you require it, and I have built a system test to use it.
You could of course also use the expert to colour your bars as long and short and/or use the expert symbols to flag your buy and sell points.

Applying the strategy to the Australian SPI over the last 15 years, is not encouraging.
Psychologically I could not handle the results which show a significant loss after 5 years, very most profit after 10 years, and encouraging results only during the bull run of recent years.

Best regards ... Martin
