DislikedHello all,
This system looks very promising. Like MrMikal, I've been looking at some similar math, but more from an arbitrage position. So, I was excited to take a look.
I have, perhaps, a silly question. It seems like there should only be ONE index number. In other words, when one does the calculation, by combining the 7 pairs, you end up with a single index number. If that's true, does anyone know why I might be getting different index numbers using the indicator depending on the chart I have up? I have all 7 pairs up, each with the sentinel index indicator on it (SMA version). Yet, my current index value for GBPUSD is 2.1782 but AUDUSD it's 1.8137. All other pairs have unique values.
Thanks.

DislikedWell, after thoroughly confusing everyone with my posts, I might as well post the mods I suggested. This is the same code as the original EA (SMA version), with 2 additions.
1) You can choose to view the Sentinal values as a histogram instead of a line.
2) You can select the number of bars back to go. Remember, you need at least 336 bars in order to draw the SMA. So, pick a big number. By default, it is set to 0, which means all bars in the chart will be used and you will have the same effect as previously - that is, different charts will have varying Sentinal numbers. However, as iya pointed out, the different numbers should not impact the crossings and the overall curve of the dataset.
Regards and sorry for the confusion.

DislikedStockwet,
I have one suggestion for the Sentinal Index indicator. Can we have the bars change color when below or above SMA? This would be much easier on the eyes.

DislikedIt can be done. However, I really debated about even posting the mods I made. I've found that having a lot of mods for an indicator can get quite confusing for people trying to figure out which one is the right one to use. Also, iya and bubo created the original indicator, and did a FABULOUS job on it. In fact, iya's code is about as clean of code as I've ever seen. I'd like to hear from iya and bubo on how to they want to handle mod requests.Ignored
