So that you all will help me, I'll first submit an idea for an indicator that I've been wanting to build. As the title says, I am new to Java and Dukascopy and need some help.
The indicator that I want to build is an oscillator (of sorts) that divides the total change during the lookback period by a measure of average volatility for similar periods, normalized by time of day. In other words, for example, to measure the power of a movement occurring between 8 and 9 am, the price at 8 am would be subtracted from the price at 9 am and the difference would divided by the ATR of the 8 to 9 am periods of the previous 20 trading days (again, for example).
I would build this into a multiple time frame strategy and use either MA slope or P&F as the entry/exit signals.
So, I have two questions. I've been opening demo accounts for a couple months while I have been trying to learn Java. At some point I was able to access the code to create a new indicator and now I cannot. Where do I go to create a new indicator with the ready-made code?
Secondly, I'm struggling, frankly, with the learning process as this is my first experience with a programming language. Can anyone offer any suggestions about how to speed up the process or offer help about interpreting the ready-made code?
