the header should have given you a clue what this indicator is about.

1. READ THE MANUAL and the REFERENCE lots of sample code in there 2. Press [F1] in TS for HELP 3. You have NOT tried the search function of this site !!!!! (ask me how I knew.)

arrow is available in MultiCharts, but not in TradeStation.

John Bollinger explained this in his book "Bollinger on Bollinger Bands".

you can use TEXT_NEW

can you post a chart with lines and arrows to illustrate? ...so that we can be on the same page? if this knowledge is important enough to learn, and you are serious enough to want to be certain about getting it absolutely right, I am sure it wouldn't be too much trouble to whip up a few lines and arrows on a chart.

I also think it is messy to have those unending coding requests in the Trading Indicator section. It makes the forum unorganized and unprofessional looking. James used to have a warning notice in the Trading Indicator forum. It worked great, but somehow it was removed.

Please use code tag when you are posting your codes. un-tagged code looks like this: Input: length(20); Variables: avg(0); avg = average( close, length); tagged code looks like this: Input: length(20); Variables: avg(0); avg = average( close, length); the tag key is at the top right of the message window. simply highlight your code, then click on the # key.

..................... see post #7 and this: http://www.traderslaboratory.com/forums/f17/code-tag-8674.html

what program are you using?

you are jumping ahead, you haven't done these parts yet...

you should wrap your code with the code tag. it is the [b][size="4"]#[/size][/b] key at the top right of the message window tagged code looks like this: [code] Input: length(20); Variables: avg(0); avg = average( close, length);

I would suggest you to start from STEP ONE: go download this book: "Getting Started with EasyLanguage" this is the book you need if you're thinking about using EasyLanguage but don't know where to start. Documentation lots of useful examples for you to copy-and-paste.

any oscillators will work... it will tell you when to buy, it will tell you when to sell. alas only one third of the time it is in sync with the market. one third of the time it is leading too far ahead, and the other third of the time it is lagging too far behind. no dumb marketer will show you a chart when the oscillator is not in sync. such is the life of an indicator marketer.

most of the datafeed are not good enough for MD. if you just want a cursory look, that's ok. but if you are serious (ie you want to make money with MD), then you should get the real mccoy.

7 hours and... zero download so far... Yay!

what you need is the rest of the logic... If (VPCI > AvgVPCI) and (VPCI > 0) Then PlotPaintBar (High, Low) ELSE...

nice blog... thanks for sharing. you are not alone... this type of experience is being repeated all over the world everyday with brutal unforgiving consistency.

a programming language is a method to communicate with the computer... to get the computer to do a series of calculations, and then spit out the result in a human-understandable way. ie through the printer as text, or to the monitor as a graph/chart, etc. C++ is a programming language, so as VB, or C#, or Java... or EasyLanguage. some languages are easy to learn, some languages are powerful and flexible, but require more effort to master. some languages are specialized for statistical/quant calculations, some languages are designed for trading purposes (eg. EasyLanguage) e.g you can use any computer language to write a program to read the datafeed from eSignal, then write a routine to parse the data into ticks, seconds, minutes, hours, and days intervals... then create a system to save them to an easily retrievable realtime database... then write a method to call the database at will to pull up the specific data you want, then tell the computer step-by-step how to plot the data in a minute-by-minute bar chart. and then write a program to add the data together... then divide them by the number of periods to arrive at a moving average, while holding onto the hundreds of data points of the moving average, teach the computer how to plot a line onto the screen, so that it overlays the bar chart according to the price scale... and when you write in the code [intrabarordergeneration=true], the computer will know that you want the order sent to the broker immediately, but not wait until the end of the bar. ...I hope you start to get the big picture.

you should post each indicator in its own thread, as if you are posting an indicator, with the indicator's name as the thread title... ...then ask ppl for the text file of that indicator.

you can always trade YM.

.......... what a scammer spammer

You can start an new thread and post the codes there. I will open them and post the text file here for you.
