Tams

can you describe the characteristics of "the nearly 3 bullish candlesticks"

I think the "post nomination button" needs to be redesigned. it is so inconspicuous, it took me a while to notice it.

I found this post on "Re: The Evolution of Market Profile Theory" interesting and have nominated it accordingly for "Topic Of The Month August, 2009"

maybe if you start by telling us "what" you are doing ... and "why" you think it is wrong, then we can chime in.

$50 for that ??? LOL

a flow chart can help you define/refine your logic

if you write out your logic one thought at a time, if you write out your thoughts one action at a time, if you write out your action ONE LINE at a time, in no time you will have your codes worked out.

I do not know the answer. good luck.

did you guys have computer problem (again) this morning?

RS must have the most cumbersome charting language of all. Take a look at the examples in Stocks & Commodities magazine, RS codes are 4 times as long as others.

the least you can do is post a chart, or a mock up. ...and explain the efforts (codes) you have attempted. (not that I can be of any help...)

I don't think you have finished reading the first chapter of the book. You have to get yourself off Step Zero. I can help you, but I will not write the code for you. There are commercial services that can assist you if that's what you are looking for. or, maybe others can chime in... Have a nice day. p.s. I don't think you could do that in 10 days with Ninja.

p.s. you are trying to jump from step zero to step 10 in one leap. my suggestions: I would not attempt to write buy/sell orders at the moment. I would focus on technical skill first. i.e. getting the indicator to plot a dot/line to illustrate your logic on the screen, so that you can visually verify your approach. Otherwise it would just be GIGO.

Of course it works well. EasyLanguage is a high level computer language, i.e. it does not have low level machine manipulation capabilities, therefore it has no way of "crashing" your computer. If the indicator works for you, please click the "Mark as Installed" button and give a rating at the top. A screen shot of your implementation (with on chart annotation) is appreciated.

MultiCharts saves the indicators in a compiled file with PLA extension. (vs pre-compile format of TS)

you are in the right direction. post the code... and let's see what is where.

EasyLanguage is English like; it is easy to learn. See the scribble you made? You already have 90% the strategy written! Just combine the indicators and add your logic to the end... and voila, you have your scanner ! Give it a try... you will be amazed at what you can do. Good luck!

stay with Ninja MultiCharts comes with hundreds of indicators and strategies. Start your PowerEditor, File> Open you will see the list there.

Coppock on faster fractal chart histogram with delta line

Coppock Curve The Coppock curve, created by E.S.C. Coppock, is a technical analysis indicator for long-term stock market investors. It was first published in Barron's Magazine on October 15, 1962. The indicator is designed for use on a monthly time scale. It's the sum of a 14-month rate of change and 11-month rate of change, smoothed by a 10-period weighted moving average. Coppock, the founder of Trendex Research in San Antonio, Texas, was an economist. He had been asked by the Episcopal Church to identify buying opportunities for long-term investors. He thought market downturns were like bereavements and required a period of mourning. He asked the church bishops how long that normally took for people, their answer was 11 to 14 months and so he used those periods in his calculation. A buy signal is generated when the indicator is below zero and turns upwards from a trough. No sell signals are generated (that not being its design). The indicator is trend-following, and based on averages, so by its nature it doesn't pick a market bottom, but rather shows when a rally has become established. Coppock designed the indicator (originally called the "Trendex Model") for the S&P 500 index, and it's been applied to similar stock indexes like the Dow Jones Industrial Average. It's not regarded as well-suited to commodity markets, since bottoms there are more rounded than the spike lows found in stocks. source: Wikipedia This indicator may be displayed as a curve, or as a histogram The color.mode setting is 0 for histogram, 1 for curve A delta line (Diff) is added for faster fractal analysis. (daily or intraday) note: This EasyLanguage indicator was written in MultiCharts. I have not tested it in TradeStation or other compatible programs.

write out your logic on paper... covering ALL the permutations, including all the ON conditions and OFF conditions. you will see the "hole" once you have done that.
