I use NinjaTrader. But I'm not a professional programmer so the code might look a little amateurish.
I've coded the indicator and strategy, but I seem to have some bugs. It's probably going to be useless to people at this stage since I've hard coded a lot of the parameters. I'll work on making it more user friendly when I have time but here's the indicator if someone wants to check it out.
The bars go green when it's time to go long and red when its time to go short. Yellow up means to get ready for a green bar and yellow down means to get ready for a red bar. Alerts will go off only if the channel is in the same direction or flat to the in
After running some back tests with various parameters including different data-sets (other major pairs and different time periods) , I've decided to use 20 range bars with a linear regression bar period of 200. The 10 range with 60 bar period linear regression worked out well with Eur/Usd in back test but for myself I need to see parameters that work on various datasets to be confident in using a system. If there is anyone that wants to download my automated strategy for backtesting I can post it on here but it is not well commented and has lots of hard-coding parameter changes (meaning that some of the parameters need to be changed directly in the code and some wizard variables are inactive)

What hardcoded parameters need to be changed? Also, how would I add my ATM strategy? Thanks for your work!

When I coded the automated strategy I modified different parameters to see what would work best for take profit . Instead of writing it so it would be user friendly I wrote it for myself. So for example I wanted to move my stop to break-even once the low of a candle was above my entry by so many pips. Also I played around with my take profit from (1:1 to 1:3 etc.) also tried some code to change my take profit from 1:1 to opposite linear regression line once middle line was reached. As well as some code changing the times that I would place orders.
All these parameters (plus a bunch of others) are written directly in the code and are "commented out" when I don't want to utilize them. If you are familiar with programming then you could probably figure it out but if you're not then it might be pointless to download it.
First of all, thanks so much for your vision and effort and MT4 programming. I've presently got several pressing issues in the air right now and have not looked at your MT4 file.
Have you put comments along with the code telling what the several hard coded variables are and located? If so, Great; if not, it would be a great help if you could do so.

Hi Patch,
It's coded for NinjaTrader and it isn't commented very well but when I have some time I will try and make a user friendly version of it.
or if you just take a second and stick in a few comments on the key variables.
I know you must be learning a lot about programming.

dchappy, I've learn a little trick on MT4 about setting up like your charts on Ninja, if you set your bars to black you will only see the heiken ashi, but who am I to be giving you any pointers, keep up the good work, still studying your methods. Thanks,

Yes , I see what your saying , however right now I'm trying to watch where each new bar closes .
I would prefer to use the range bars but haven't found a "free " one yet for mt4 ( I'm kind of cheeep )
And , feel free to offer pointers ...we all stand on each others shoulders here..
