you can give this a try: if BarsSinceExit = 1 then value1 = h[1];

how did you figure this out?

the schedule is in bloomberg or baron's calendar. just put the date and time in your yahoo/google calendar... and have it send you an email when there is a meeting. Voila, you have your own reminder service ! p.s. maybe you can suggest it to James... to make it a service of TradersLaboratroy !

do you have the definition of the keyword "time since entry"? can you post it?

MultiCharts technical support had posted an explanation at their site. (I will try to look for the post.) Basically any new tick will generate a marker that something has changed, and MultiCharts will update all the dependent calculations and plot the chart accordingly.

YUP... you've got it. It is as simple as that !!! close data1 - 0.70 * close data2 - 0.30 * close data3 note: * is the multiplication sign. p.s. use brackets to group items together for easier identification: close data1 - ( 0.70 * close data2 ) - ( 0.30 * close data3) .

I have no problem with people making a passive or active income with their codes. However I do not enjoy coming to a forum that is plastered with his enticing charts, but with little or no accompanying contribution/value to the community. When people ask for the code, the only answer he gives is "go google for it". i.e. I won't post my code here. Come over to my site(trap) so that I can fleece you. Just my 2 cents...

Andrew already given you the solution, but I don't think you understood the process. Let me try again here, with step-by-step instruction: Step One: create a function named spread_d1d2 with the following code: spread_d1d2 = c data1 - c data2; Step Two: In your chart (with the 2 data series), apply any indicator you want to use for your analysis. In the "Format Study" window, enter spread_d1d2 as the Price. I have attached the moving average study as illustration. HTH

Spyder: Can you describe "Stitch"? How does it fit into our analysis? TIA

how many symbols you will be tracking?

one of the key to consistent profit is to know the difference between a method that works, and accidental success.

same reason why you wanted to drive a little red convertible when you were young and chasing girls.... then a minivan when you were married and had a family... and a Jeep when you wanted to go off road... and a land yacht when you got old and mellow. ;-)

as a courtesy to the community, you should post your solution, so that everybody can learn from it.

MP Vs. Ensign's Price Histogram http://www.traderslaboratory.com/forums/f6/mp-vs-ensigns-price-histogram-3341.html

Internet forum is about sharing... if you don't share what you have, I doubt you can entice/encourage/prompt people to share what they have... such is the life on the internet. .

EasyLanguage is not a good platform for MP. If MP is your main strategy, you should consider a dedicated platform.

to further learning, may I suggest: 1. you can post the links to the ones you have tried, so that others can test the same. 2. post your usage experience: pros, cons, strengths, weaknesses, etc., if you share your findings, others will chime in... and we can learn from each other. maybe they all work... all you need is a little tweaking.

--> Limitation of the Easy language More precisely, the limited ability to manage a database. There are free versions posted here, therefore politics is not an issue. The paid versions come with a proprietary database add-on.

reading the respective thread, or my message above, might help.

Have you done a search? (Top right corner of this page) The text codes are posted, all you have to do is copy and paste into your program.

Since you have no programming/backtesting experience, it is difficult to make suggestions to you. Most of the software has a 30 day trial. Just go download a few and try them for yourself. Ninjatrader is F-R-E-E... until you starts trading. That's a good starting point.

Unless the software can read your mind on what you want to do, the answer is yes.

any programmable charting software that can do backtesting can generate this type of report.
