You can put text and trendlines in the same block of code... There must be a conflict in your logic to cause the problem. Keep things simple... use 2 indicators is a good solution.

Sierracharts is a fine platform. I wish they would make it EasyLanguage compatible.

HighD is a function, not a keyword. It is described in the EasyLanguage® Functions & Reserved Words Reference If you go to the PowerEditor, look under functions, you can see the codes inside HighD. HighD (Function) The HighD series function allows you to reference the daily high of a previous day in an intraday chart (minute or tick-based) or a daily chart. HighD is one of a family of functions that allows historical references across various data intervals. Syntax HighD(PeriodsAgo) Returns (Double) The daily high price from a specified number of days ago. If the PeriodsAgo parameter is out of range (> 50), or there is not enough data, the function will return –1. Parameters Name: PeriodsAgo Type: Numeric Description: Sets the number of days/periods back to reference a previous day’s high price. (50 days back maximum) (0 = Today’s current high) Remarks You must have enough intraday data in the chart in order to look back and reference any previous daily high. For example, if you want to look back at the high of 25 days ago on a 5-minute chart, you must have at least 26 full days of 5-minute bars in the chart. The value for the PeriodsAgo input parameter should always be a whole number greater than or equal to 0, but less than 51. Setting PeriodsAgo to 0 returns today’s current high. Example In order to place a short limit order at the High of the previous day you would write: SellShort Next Bar at HighD(1) Limit; See Also LowD, CloseD, OpenD, HighW, HighM, and HighY.

If you ever need a live feed to test something on the weekend... IB has a free demo system. No registration needed. It streams previous days' data... good for testing purposes. http://www.interactivebrokers.com/en/p.php?f=tws&ib_entity=llc Look under the Demo tab. Choose "Individual Demo". .

You have to describe what is wrong or missing something. I can't read your mind. :-( try these ideas... var5 = HighD ; var6 = LowD ; // make the HL text labels first... so that you can "move" them later! if currentbar = 1 then begin Value10 = Text_New(Date, Time, var5 , "High"); Value11 = Text_New(Date, Time, var6 , "Low"); end; // move the HL text labels to new location text_SetLocation(Value10, date, time, var5); text_SetLocation(Value11, date, time, var6); Text_SetString(Value10, "High"+ NumToStr(var5, 2) ); Text_SetString(Value11, "Low" + NumToStr(var6, 2) );

Yes, that's a good post. Everything has its place in the World. I know people who make money with MACD/Stoch, I also know people who make money with no charts, just the quote sheet. The key is in understanding the signals the market is beaming to you. My motto: Use whatever that makes sense to you... ie. whatever that makes you money. ;-)>

a mock up with arrows and notes would help...

Scalper's HL Bracket (with Sound) This indicator labels the HL price of previous bars. Useful for scalpers, or as a guide to set stops. you can change the sound by modifying these inputs: Sound.up("c: \windows\media\ding.wav"), Sound.dn("c: \windows\media\ding.wav"); You can even make your own sound with the Sound Recorder that comes with Windows. More on Adding Sound to your Indicator: http://www.traderslaboratory.com/forums/f56/adding-sound-your-indicator-easylanguage-5908.html p.s. I have not tested the TS version in TradeStation. You are welcome to post the ELD if it works. If you don't know how to import the code into your software, pls spend 5 min in your user manual to find out how.

I am busy in the next 6 weeks. I will try to find some time in between. Anybody want to give it a try? Programming skill improvement guaranteed.

e.g. input: start.date(1090527); if date > start.date then begin code code ...

Date Returns a numerical value indicating the closing date of a bar. The date is indicated in the YYYMMdd format, where YYY is the number of years since 1900, MM is the month, and dd is the day of the month. Usage Date Examples Date will return a value of 1071030 for October 30th, 2007 Date will return a value of 990402 for April 2th, 1999

I would not put unknown compiled code into my computer. Period.

Hey, no need to feel bad. He who shares reaps more. hint: look up the following definitions: volume ticks upticks downticks p.s. when posting an EasyLanguage indicator, please also upload a text version. Because not everybody uses MultiCharts.

There are so many gems to be discovered at TL... this is amazing. Thanks for sharing.

do you have a screen shot?

I don't trade GBPUSD EURUSD EURJPY... maybe someone can help.

yes, got it... thanks. I will track it for a few days to see.

I have never tried the HHI. I just keyed that into my TWS, but it is not showing up. I have to look up the symbol at IB's website. I like the HSI... it has always been a good trader... I love the volatility. ;-)

the TradeStation code is here: The Better Volume Indicator … My Secret to Analyzing Volume

maybe move it to Technical Analysis?

don't know about TradeStation, but MultiCharts is doing a pretty good job: it would take the left over and use it to start the next bar. You can check to see if the software is handling the volume properly by adding the volume histogram to the volume bar chart. The volume is supposed to cap at the CVB resolution.

rule # uno: don't argue with the market.
