sure, why not?

 

just duplicate everything...

make sure you name the variables with -1 and -2 suffix.

Hi TAMS

 

Always here 2 help absent-minded

 

Oups... I've forgot 2 attach my work in my last post...

 

do you mean trendline ?

 

Yes and I've tried also Text_New

 

make sure you name the variables with -1 and -2 suffix.

 

I've done it but w/o succes

 

I was wondering if it's allowed by EL 2 change iPrice by the iValue of an indicator ?

 

This reserved word adds a trendline with the specified starting and ending points to a price chart. It returns a numeric expression corresponding to the ID number of the trendline added to the chart.

 

Value1 = TL_New(iBarDate, iBarTime, iPrice, eBarDate, eBarTime, ePrice)

 

If U have Xtra time, Would U mind 2 have a look on my attachement ?

 

regards

only plot trendlines directly on the MACD indicator

 

LOL... you knew I was going to ask you to make a drawing... but...

 

 

to draw in subchart, you need TL_NEW_SELF.

 

this is a MultiCharts exclusive keyword.

 

 

in this case, you do not need to duplicate the variables and calculations...

So it's not possible in Easy Language but possible in Power Language

 

it's amazing that U know 110% of Power Language.

 

TAMS, U know what ?

 

U ARE THE BEST !!!

 

TL_New_self

Displays a trendline, with the specified starting and ending points, on the SubChart containing the study; returns a trendline-specific ID number, required to modify the trendline.

Usage

TL_New_self (sDate, sTime, sPriceValue, eDate, eTime, ePriceValue)

Is it possible to apply the same principle of divergence to a StochRSI indicator (divergence drawn on both the price and the indicator)?

 

I tried playing with it on my end but getting a ton of errors. I'm not sure if the errors are due to the 2 lines in the stochrsi versus the single line in the MACD. Below is the code that i'm using for the stochrsi:

 

input:

 

RSILength(9),

StochLength(18),

KLength(6),

DLength(3),

oversold(20),

overbought(80),

overscolor(white),

overbcolor(white);

 

Vars:

DToscK(0),

DToscD(0);

 

value1 = FastKCustomEasy(RSI(C, RSILength),StochLength);

DToscK = average(value1,KLength);

DToscD = average(DToscK,DLength);

 

plot1(DToscK,"%K" );

plot2(DToscD,"%D" );

plot3( overbought, "OverBot" ) ;

plot4( oversold, "OverSld" ) ;

 

condition1 = value1 crosses over oversold ;

if condition1 then

Alert( "Indicator exiting oversold zone" )

else

begin

condition1 = value1 crosses under overbought ;

if condition1 then

Alert( "Indicator exiting overbought zone" ) ;

end;

AAA - thanks for undertaking this endeavor. I've come to like the stochrsi as a good test against my signals. The ability to see divergence would be quite nice.

 

I'm running the MACD divergence on my charts right now and it looks good, hopefully the same will hold true for stochrsi.

I'd be interested in the ability to add a moving average or linear moving average to define trend, and only show divergences in the direction of the trend.

 

Greatly cuts down on the signals... but increases the probability of continuation.

    • Date: 3rd April 2025.   Gold Prices Pull Back After Record High as Traders Eye Trump’s Tariffs.   Key Takeaways:   Gold prices retreated after hitting a record high of $3,167.57 per ounce due to profit-taking. President Trump announced a 10% baseline tariff on all US imports, escalating trade tensions. Gold remains exempt from reciprocal tariffs, reinforcing its safe-haven appeal. Investors await US non-farm payroll data for further market direction. Fed rate cut bets and weaker US Treasury yields underpin gold’s bullish outlook. Gold Prices Retreat from Record Highs Amid Profit-Taking Gold prices saw a pullback on Thursday as traders opted to take profits following a historic surge. Spot gold declined 0.4% to $3,122.10 per ounce as of 0710 GMT, retreating from its fresh all-time high of $3,167.57. Meanwhile, US gold futures slipped 0.7% to $3,145.00 per ounce, reflecting broader market uncertainty over economic and geopolitical developments.   The recent rally was largely fueled by concerns over escalating trade tensions after President Donald Trump unveiled sweeping new import tariffs. The 10% baseline tariff on all goods entering the US further deepened the global trade conflict, intensifying investor demand for safe-haven assets like gold. However, as traders locked in gains from the surge, prices saw a modest retracement.   Trump’s Tariffs and Their Market Implications On Wednesday, Trump introduced a sweeping tariff policy imposing a 10% baseline duty on all imports, with significantly higher tariffs on select nations. While this move was aimed at bolstering domestic manufacturing, it sent shockwaves across global markets, fueling inflation concerns and heightening trade war fears.   Gold’s Role Amid Trade War Escalations Despite the widespread tariff measures, the White House clarified that reciprocal tariffs do not apply to gold, energy, and ‘certain minerals that are not available in the US’. This exemption suggests that central banks and institutional investors may continue favouring gold as a hedge against economic instability. One of the key factors supporting gold is the slowdown that these tariffs could cause in the US economy, which raises the likelihood of future Federal Reserve rate cuts. Gold is currently in a pure momentum trade. Market participants are on the sidelines and until we see a significant shakeout, this momentum could persist.   Impact on the US Dollar and Bond Yields Gold prices typically move inversely to the US dollar, and the latest developments have pushed the dollar to its weakest level since October 2024. Market participants are increasingly pricing in the possibility of a Fed rate cut, as the tariffs could weigh on economic growth.   Additionally, US Treasury yields have plummeted, reflecting growing recession fears. Lower bond yields reduce the opportunity cost of holding non-yielding assets like gold, making it a more attractive investment.         Technical Analysis: Key Levels to Watch Gold’s recent rally has pushed it into overbought territory, with the Relative Strength Index (RSI) above 70. This indicates a potential short-term pullback before the uptrend resumes. The immediate support level lies at $3,115, aligning with the Asian session low. A further decline could bring gold towards the $3,100 psychological level, which has previously acted as a strong support zone. Below this, the $3,076–$3,057 region represents a critical weekly support range where buyers may re-enter the market. In the event of a more significant correction, $3,000 stands as a major psychological floor.   On the upside, gold faces immediate resistance at $3,149. A break above this level could signal renewed bullish momentum, potentially leading to a retest of the record high at $3,167. If bullish momentum persists, the next target is the $3,200 psychological barrier, which could pave the way for further gains. Despite the recent pullback, the broader trend remains bullish, with dips likely to be viewed as buying opportunities.   Looking Ahead: Non-Farm Payrolls and Fed Policy Traders are closely monitoring Friday’s US non-farm payrolls (NFP) report, which could provide critical insights into the Federal Reserve’s next policy moves. A weaker-than-expected jobs report may strengthen expectations for an interest rate cut, further boosting gold prices.   Other key economic data releases, such as jobless claims and the ISM Services PMI, may also impact market sentiment in the short term. However, with rising geopolitical uncertainties, trade tensions, and a weakening US dollar, gold’s safe-haven appeal remains strong.   Conclusion: While short-term profit-taking may trigger minor corrections, gold’s long-term outlook remains bullish. As global trade tensions mount and the Federal Reserve leans toward a more accommodative stance, gold could see further gains in the months ahead.   Always trade with strict risk management.
