I disagree, the only thing this thread needs is more ..............................

Everything you need is in these files. EL_Essentials.pdf EL_Getting_Started.pdf EL_Ref_Guide.pdf

think you missed some other sub-forums to post this. You only got like 7 of them, there are alot more. Please clutter up TL some more....

Answers to alot of your questions can be found in these: EL_Essentials.pdf EL_Getting_Started.pdf EL_Ref_Guide.pdf

Look in the trading indicators forum here on TL, found one about 3 pages in. Not sure what exactly you searched, but there are a lot of these pivot indicators out there. Will it do exactly what you want? Probably not. But take the code that is there, modify it (or at least try to) and there you go. If you have problems, then post SPECIFIC coding problems and I am sure more than a few will be willing to help. What you are basically asking for is someone to do all the leg work for you. And when someone mentioned just get the code from your "fried", you called that idea stupid. Not sure what is so stupid about that idea. Pivots are anything but a huge trading secret. If that doesn't work, I am sure there are more than a few of these indicators floating around on the tradestation forum. I apologize if these ideas are stupid to you, but I think it is stupid that someone would expect other people to do all the leg work for them, so I guess it's a draw.

today is much better compared to Friday. That was like watching paint dry:(

They should work in the Demo. Did you install the custom indicators plug in?

The charting is only going to be as good as the data it gets. Tradestation's data, at least when I used them some time ago, was absolute garbage. I currently use OEC, and what does MC offer that OEC cant do since it does handle EL code pretty damn good.

what data feed are you using to feed it?

No method is a 100%, just because one instance stops out doesnt meant the system is flawed.

I figured that would be the answer, but never hurts to asks. Wonder why they cant just have the bonds as decimals like the eurex does, oh well, thanks anyways.

Was wondering if anyone had any ideas for the following problem. Say I want to plot the High of the day for Bonds. Well when i tell EL to do that it converts it to a decimal. EX: High of Day is 115 25.0 Easylanguage converts that to 115.78 ( 25/32=.78) I would like the text to show 115 25.0 instead of the decimal. Dont know if this is at all possible. I should also mention that I am using Open Ecry, not sure if that would matter but I know their are differences between TS and MC. Any help is appreciated.

Mirus and AMP are IBs (introducing brokers) they clear through another company called an FCMs (Futures Commission Merchant). They are not "bucketing" your trades. They are actually executed on the exchange.

Its $30, if your friend can get even on little thing from the book its worth it. Then again, if $30 is too much then by all means pass on it.

hmm.. thats weird since it should work fine. Maybe as TAMS, he seems to use it a lot and seems to like it more.

You might want to take a look at Multicharts. Its basically a TS clone, but with more bells and whistles. Technical Analysis & Automated Trading Software for Forex, Stock, Futures. Online Futures, Stock, and Forex Strategy Trading System, Forex Charts, Backtesting

I found this post on "Re: Trader P/L 2009" interesting and have nominated it accordingly for "Topic Of The Month May, 2009"

You sure do sound busy, but yet you have enough time to give Tams some grief. He simply suggested that you learn to help yourself. I find it funny that you have an attitude with Tams and he is here giving away free indicators. Guess the old saying is true, give someone an inch and they want to take a foot. Tams, A lot of people, including myself, are very thankful for your FREE help.

If your trading those instruments, might as well as look at the Bund, Bobl and Schatz

Since everyone was so helpful the last time, I have one other question. I am trying to plot the Open, High, Low, Close of the previous day via the following code from MC: variables: Counter( 0 ), YestOpen( 0 ), TodaysOpen( 0 ), YestHigh( 0 ), TodaysHigh( 0 ), YestLow( 0 ), TodaysLow( 0 ), YestClose( 0 ), TodaysClose( 0 ) ; if Date <> Date[1] then begin { increment Counter to be sure enough data is processed - see comment below } Counter = Counter + 1 ; YestOpen = TodaysOpen ; YestHigh = TodaysHigh ; YestLow = TodaysLow ; YestClose = Close[1] ; TodaysOpen = Open ; TodaysHigh = High ; TodaysLow = Low ; end else begin if High > TodaysHigh then TodaysHigh = High ; if Low < TodaysLow then TodaysLow = Low ; end ; if Counter >= 2 and BarType < 3 then { if at least one full day's data has been processed and chart bar interval is daily, intra-day, or tick bar, then plot } begin Plot1( YestOpen, "YestOpen" ) ; Plot2( YestHigh, "YestHigh" ) ; Plot3( YestLow, "YestLow" ) ; Plot4( YestClose, "YestClose" ) ; end ; However, in OEC (not sure if other data vendors are like this) products that trade on sunday (eg Bonds and Notes) the sunday trading is treated like an entire day. I want to use the information from friday, not sunday. I came across a pivot indicator that ignored the weekends, but when i tried to mesh that code with what I was using, I couldnt get it to compile. Once again, thanks for any help.

Awesome, got that to work.

Thanks everyone for your help. I got the code that blowfish had to compile in MC, unfortunately it wont compile in OEC. I have attached the errors that it gives me. Anyone got any ideas?

I'll give that a try as well. Im pretty much self taught in EL, so I appreciate any help I can get, thanks!

yes it is. Can change that if necessary.

Here's what I currently have: Inputs: Globex_Start(0000), GLOBEX_END(930); vars: G_H(0), G_L(0); //BEGIN CALCULATION OF GLOBEX HIGH AND LOW // If Time=Globex_Start then begin G_H=High;G_L=Low; end; If Time> Globex_Start and Time<=Globex_End then begin If High>G_H then G_H=High; if Low< G_L then G_L=low; end; //END CALCULATION OF GLOBEX HIGH AND LOW // Plot1(G_H,"G-High"); Plot2(G_L,"G-Low"); This one gives me the high and low from midnight, I can't seem to figure out how to tell it to go the previous day and look to see if a low or high was there.
