I have only done it for Lookback=3. here's how my chart looks.
-
you better write some lines/arrows/notes on your chart. ;-)
-
different class of indicator complement each other oscillators are never used alone, or with another oscillator. they are always meant to work with a trend indicator.
-
you don't need to worry about liquidity for paper trading.

I have done it for Lookback = 3, you can copy it to other sections. enjoy! edit: updated attachment lookback3.txt

ok, simple enough... sneo suggested the correct keyword -- TL_SetExtRight( id.tl, True); here's the trick: you only want to extend the lines on current day. you don't want previous day's lines to clutter up your chart: if lastbaronchart then begin tl_setextright(value1, true); ... and so on

I am not sure if I understand what you want to achieve. Can you make a screen shot, then draw some lines/arrows/notes to illustrate your intention?

... if you don't want to sell and go away... the least you can do is don't trade commodities this month... it is going to the dogs. (k9)

don't worry about the title... it is the substance that counts. Rock on!

James: can you add PLA to the list of valid file extensions? PLA is the MultiCharts file format, equivalent to ELD for TradeStation. Many thanks TAMS

there is a software, the name escapes me right now... it is an institutional grade software (ie expensive ~$10k++/yr), that can do data mining and stat/prob study. eg. it will interrogate the database (thousands of stocks and decades of prices) and come up with reports like this: CAL goes up X percentage at certain time of the year, 9 times out of past 11 yrs.

maybe the author meant ... go take a hike?

zero minutes. the eminis trade around the clock. RTH price movements are just a continuation of pre-market price movements.
-
That's the same values I have. The market is closed right now, this indicator need live feed to work. Well, at least you have it compiled; you can test it out on Monday.
-
what instrument are you applying this to? what is the resolution? how much data do you have?
-
I suspect you have one or more of the variable not fixed. If you have not done so, you should go copy the MultiCharts code from the link I posted above. At least I know someone has compiled that code with no problem.
-
if you had read further down the thread, you would have came across this post: http://www.traderslaboratory.com/forums/f46/market-delta-footprint-for-tradestation-516.html#post14170 someone had already fixed the problem almost 2 years ago: in MultiCharts, the letter " i " is a reserved word. (used as a substitute for OpenInt) thus the TradeStation codes with the variable "i" would not work in MultiCharts.

probably he has previously downloaded an indicator with a function called "Ticksize". (he can confirm this by checking the functions list in his PowerEditor). if that's the case, he can do one of the following: 1. use wiggly brackets {} to enclose that line. or, 2. highlight that word and press ctrl-H replace that word with ticksize1 throughout the code. good luck. [voice edited]
-
the error is in Line 23. look for the highlighted word in your PowerEditor.

Here are some of the chart examples. Screen time is your best friend; you will need to learn which is signal and which is noise. You are invited to post your charts and your interpretations. enjoy .

STRSQZ -- Stretch and Squeeze (w auto calibrate) This indicator displays the premium/discount between a future contract and its cash index A popular display pair is YM and INDU Basic Concept: When the market is going up, the future leads the cash with premium. When the market is going down, the future leads the cash with discount*. (* or less premium) The key is to look for excessive premium/discount at points of change. (eg. at channel boundaries, price extremes, etc.,) Note that this is not a Buy/Sell type of indicator You will need to understand the workings of the market to exploit these signals. Instructions: set up 3 symbols in the chart: data1: INDU index (1 minute) data2: YM current month future contract (1 minute) data3: YM current month future contract (5 minutes) Set the first 2 symbols to invisible... the 3rd symbol is your trading chart (you can substitute the 3rd symbol with other instruments, eg. ES, NQ) Note: 1. The indicator uses a moving average to surpress the noise. The first few bars of the day is not displayed 2. The indicator will stop plotting when the cash is closed 3. The histogram color threshold is user adjustable STRSQZ_Stretch_and_Squeeze.txt

I doubt anybody can help you if you don't help yourself. What do you mean by doesn't work? -- can't compile? what's the error message? -- jibblish chart? do you have a screen shot? -- which code are you using? (there are many versions floating around) do you have a reference link? :-(
-
LOL... that's a good one.

Sell in May, Go Away... but... when do you come back?
-
is 20% return possible? the short answer is YES. now let's get to the newbie part... for a person starting out, the more practical question is: is it possible to breakeven by year 2? not that it is impossible to make money right off the bat. ask any newbie, they will tell you they made lots of money in the first 3 months. the problem is... the market has a way of "training" a winner to be a loser. It will slowly change your winning method into a losing one, and turn you against yourself. Your challenge is no longer the market, but yourself.
