Easylanguage code for ATR Marker This indicator prints the ATR range on the chart. High ATR = previous bar Close + previous bar ATR value Low ATR = previous bar Close - previous bar ATR value there is an option to plot historical ATR lines. ATR_Marker_w_Lines.txt

give this a try... good luck. Variables: VolTrend(""), VolUpDays(0), VolDnDays(0) ; //Volume Comparison Calculations If BarStatus(1) = 2 then begin //identifies the last bar of the session & compares volume if ticks > ticks[1] then begin VolUpDays = VolUpDays + 1; VolDnDays = 0; end else //identifies the last bar of the session & compares volume If ticks < ticks[1] then begin VolDnDays = VolDnDays - 1; VolUpDays = 0; end; end; If VolUpDays > 0 then VolTrend = "VolUpDays" else VolTrend = "VolDnDays"; Plot1(VolTrend, "Vol Up/Dn");

change the keyword volume to ticks. Don't ask me why, in EasyLanguage... the keyword volume means "total upticks" in English, the keyword ticks means "total volume" in English.

somehow the images got disconnected. here they are again. Coordinates: End result:

Moving Average with extension and choice of exponential or simple average the MC version works on second/tick/volume charts as well. . average_w_extension.txt Average_w_extension_MC_version.txt

someone sent me this code. I have never tried it tho. // PnF EasyLanguage code // This will simulate "Point & Figure" levels on a bar chart {Written by Adam Hefner version 01-07-02} Var: dbh(0), dbl(0), {Daily block high/low} abh(0), abl(0), {actual block high/low} dir(0), {direction} sv(0); {stop value} inputs: BlockSize(1) , {Block Size} ReverseSize( 3), {Reverse Size} lookBack(-1) ; {look back period} Var: bs(BlockSize) , rs(ReverseSize) , lb(LookBack) ; {daily block high/low calculations} If Round(high/bs, 0)*bs > High then dbh = (Round(high/ bs,0)*bs) -bs else dbh = Round(high/bs, 0)*bs; If Round(Low/bs, 0)*bs < Low then dbl = (Round(Low/bs, 0)*bs)+bs else dbl = Round(Low/bs, 0)*bs; If currentbar <= 1 {check for first 2 bars of the chart} then begin dir = 1; abh = dbh; abl = dbl; end else begin If dir[1] = 1 {direction up calculations} then begin if dbh > abh[1] then abh = dbh {new high} else begin If dbl <= abh-(bs*rs) {reverse} then begin dir = -1; abh = abh[1]; abl = dbl; end else abh = abh[1]; end; end else begin {direction down calculations} If dbl < abl[1] then abl = dbl {new low} else if dbh >= abl+(bs*rs) {reverse} then begin dir = 1; abl = abl[1]; abh = dbh; end else abl = abl[1]; end; end; If dir = 1 {reversal stop} then sv = abh-(bs*rs) else sv = abl+(bs*rs); plot1(abh); plot2(abl); plot3[lb](sv) ;

move Price© from var: to input:

With MultiCharts, there is a dictionary in the PowerEditor. If I right click on a word, it will tell me whether it is a keyword, function, or a variable. I have never used OEC. You might have to check the OEC manual for a list of keywords. For Tradestation, you can download this free book: EasyLanguage® Functions & Reserved Words Reference It lists (and explains) all the keywords, plus all the functions that are already loaded in the program. https://www.tradestation.com/support/books/default.aspx#easylanguage

I did not mean to be picky. Please do not take it as a challenge. I merely wanted to clarify. A reserved word (also called keyword) is a "command/operation" that is built-in to the program. eg. High, print, array, text, etc. A function is a little "program", written with the reserved words, to perform certain operation. eg. MACD, stochastic, RSI, average, etc. A function might, or might not be residing in your program. If you haven't got it in your computer, you can get the code and install it. However a reserved word is built-in to your program. If your program haven't got that keyword, then that means your program does not support that keyword. There is no way to get that into your computer. e.g. some of the keywords in MultiCharts are not available in Tradestation or OEC.

these are functions, not reserved words. ie. someone wrote a script/"program" that perform those operations.

MultiCharts uses bar end time as reference. The end time of one bar is the start time of another.

change if not Globex to if Globex = false

this group has lots of EL resources http://finance.groups.yahoo.com/group/MrEasyLanguage/ this book is a good start http://www.amazon.com/Ask-Mr-Easylanguage-Samuel-Tennis/dp/0934380511/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1237725732&sr=8-1

your programming knowledge is ok. I don't think you need to take any courses. you just need to be more careful. structure helps, take a look at the code I made in the 2nd post. study the difference between mine and yours.

count them i see 3x ( and 1x ) {************* Showme Study **************} {Continuation Sell} IF((LineA <= LineA[1])or Close < xAvg and (oSlowK[1]>OverSold and oSlowK[1]>oSlowD and oSlowK<oSlowK[1] then begin Plot6(H,"DnColor",Dncolor ); end else begin

you have mismatched brackets.

the code should work in minute charts. the lines and texts will behave erratically in non-minute charts. (ie. tick, second, or daily charts)

have you defined "xAvg" ?

how to think clearly when coding: 1. do one thing at a time 2. write out ONE action at a time 3. write out ONE action per sentence 4. write out ONE sentence per line 5. match every BEGIN with an END {************* Showme Study **************} {Continuation Sell} IF LineA <= LineA[1] or Close < xAvg then begin if oSlowK[1]>OverSold and oSlowK[1]>oSlowD and oSlowK<oSlowK[1] then begin Plot6(H,"DnColor",Dncolor ); end; end else
