I thought the trading rules are like this: if it goes up, buy. if you think it is overbought, buy more. forget about stop loss, because the market likes to open with big gap down.

may I ask, why is it correct?

go to this page Online Tutorials download this document Getting Started with EasyLanguage it is not a difficult book, but it does take time and patience to read. the book is full of examples for all kinds of analysis. I promise you, the payback will be in multifold. I can help you to get from step 1 to step 2, but you have to first get from step zero to step one.

I don't see the alert in your code.

you are NOT answering the questions. have a nice day. ;-)

I will give it one more effort... please answer the questions to posts #5 and #9 computer is very dumb... so don't give any "if" or "but"...

yes, you have obviously misconstrued something along the way. Read my posts again. Everything you needed is there. or if you prefer, you can refer to the EasyLanguage Dictionary for exact definitions and examples. Good luck.

EasyLanguage is NOT English. EasyLanguage is "English like". do not put preconceived English meanings into EasyLanguage definitions. .

are you making a quote field? or are you doing analysis ?!?!

you can simplify this if Condition1 and Condition2 and Condition3 then begin FoundPattern=true; end else begin FoundPattern=false; end; to FoundPattern = Condition1 and Condition2 and Condition3;

TickSize is MinMove / PriceScale check your indicator scaling... make sure it is the same as the symbol.

try this: Variables: SMDot(0); SMDot = (high+low)*.50;

LAST is designed to be used in a quote field, it does not reference HISTORIC data. HELLLLLOOOOOO... are you currently looking at LIVE data or HISTORIC data?

p.s. replace LAST with CLOSE "CLOSE" is the last traded price. "LAST" is also the last traded price. LAST is designed to be used in a quote field, it does not reference historic data, therefore might not be usable in an analysis. .

try this: if Condition1 and condition2 and condition3 then begin foundpattern=true; end else begin foundpattern=false; end; It is possible that the conditions were met at one point during intrabar, but the scenario has changed by the end of the bar. Thus you need the "escape clause". p.s. I would avoid using the generic variables (value1, condition1, etc.). They are convenient, but makes debugging difficult. .

my apologies... updated code is attached. Lateral_Formation.txt

I have posted an EasyLanguage code for Lateral Formation here: http://www.traderslaboratory.com/forums/f46/lateral-formation-6581.html

Lateral Formation Lateral Formation is a price pattern where bar 2 and bar 3 are within the HL of the 1st bar. The Lateral will continue until 2 consecutive closes outside of the 1st bar HL in the same direction. for background discussions, please visit: http://www.traderslaboratory.com/forums/f34/price-volume-relationship-6320.html note: This EasyLanguage indicator was written in MultiCharts. I have not tested it in TradeStation or other compatible programs. Please refer to your users manual for importation instructions. Lateral_Formation.txt

try MSN moneycentral Research stocks, quotes, charts, news, stock ratings, company report, stock screener - MSN Money you must use Internet Explorer to get the advanced functionalities.

no, nothing is perfect, especially if something is almost free. OTOH, if you are tracking the market daily, MultiCharts would have saved the data in your computer, you can do all your analysis with your own database. For EOD stock charts, MultiCharts can extract data from any one of the free data sources. e.g. Google, MSN, Yahoo, etc.,

I don't think he is here to boast or rant. At one time, I did think he was here to sell something. I am sure many people have noticed he posted charts with interesting indicators. Some people glanced at the charts and pass, some people looked at the charts and ask "give it to me", some people studied the charts and ask "how much does it cost". This is the way I see it: he wants to engage with someone who asks: what, when, where, why, who, how? The "cryptic" charts are meant to stimulate your thinking, to provoke your alternative views, to challenge you to get out of your "box". Everybody has something to offer; Some people will see value, some not. Some people will appreciate the challenge, some will pass... as always, some prefer to chase own tail... this is a wonderful world

Friday's HSI the indicator is here: http://www.traderslaboratory.com/forums/f46/moving-trend-6563.html

pls read my post #23 again

Such is the life on the World Wild Web... you can talk you can share you can say anything and be anyone you want on an anonymous forum. You can also pass... ;-) I learn something from every post, if not something from the post, it would be something about myself because of the post.

I was going to say, if one more person asks for the TTM Anchor, I am going to puke on my keyboard. Now that the TTM Anchor code is posted... I am bracing myself for the onslaught of questions on **WHY** it is NOT working in their computers. To save you the trouble of asking... the Anchor requires the ADE and TZU add-on http://www.traderslaboratory.com/forums/f46/ade-all-data-everywhere-easylanguage-5934.html Please make sure you read the 1st post thoroughly... after you have understood the post and followed the instruction, (especially the instruction of the last paragraph) then move on to post #11, read and install as directed. If you still can't get it to work... have your credit card ready, call TTM. Good luck.
