Papa Lazarou

Completely hi jacked my thread and given no help whatsoever!!. You two must be local people. I'll leave you guys to chat about smoothies and prop pivots and seek help on a different forum!

Wrong thread I think?!? If anyone else has any input on my question that would be good. Thanks

Hi, I would argue that pivot points are self fulfilling? The exact numbers are relevent. I would have assumed that most people will either be looking at either April or May values to calcuate them, and not a combined 'equalized' value of the two? Lets say we use a continuation chart that has flipped from April to May today, then do you think the daily pivot points should be calculated from yesterdays April HLC/3, or May HLC/3? The same question to be asked on the weekly chart. Do we look at the last week's candle for April or for May when performing these calculations? Thanks Papa.

Hi all, I am programming my trading system to plot pivot points. However, I am not sure what to do on the day / week that rollover occurs? When April Rolls into May on a continuation chart, do you think I should be plotting: April's previous day pivot or May's previous day pivot? Previous weeks pivot from April data, or previous weeks pivot from May data? Thanks Papa.

A CQG forum would be good.

Hi all, We have just signed up to CQG after having a month or so testing and I was wondering if anyone else on the forum has CQG? I would like to get in contact with fellow CQG users to help each other with issues with coding indicators or any other problems they have with the system. I figured 2 heads are better than one and would be happy to hear from anyone that is trying to code indicators / conditions etc for this package, so that we can pick each other's brains, share ideas etc. Please private message me, or simply reply to this post! Thanks Papa.

Is there anyone that can help on this at all? I'm pretty much stuck!! I would appreciate any input you can give. Thanks

I've got the following in 'pseudo' code. There's an error in it and I don't know what. I'm not sure whether I can create new Variables like 'TRH' on the fly in CQG (or if ':=' is even what that means!!) Also, I'm just using CQG's exponential moving average which i suppose is going to be different to the Wilder one Colin Twiggs has designed his indicator using. There must be better CQG coders out there. Please help!!! TRH:= Maximum( High(@), Close(@)[-1]) TRL:= Minimum( Low(@), Close(@)[-1]) TAD:= ((Close(@)-TRL)-(TRH- Close(@)))/((TRH-TRL)/ Vol(@)) adEMA:= MA(TAD,Exp,period) vEMA:= MA(Vol(@),Exp,period) TMF:= adEMA/vEMA

Hi all. Looking at this thread It seems that it's been coded in Easy Lanquage, and Ninja Trader has it, but no luck finding it for CQG so far. Has anyone got this for CQG, or know anyone that might be able to code it? Thanks Papa.

Yes of course. But I'm really not sure if it's correct!! I'd like some people to review / test it if possible! :-) Also, remember you published the other chaikin study, which isn't the CMF, i think it's the Chaikin Oscillator?

It seems it was just a scaling issue. The scaling had gone a bit wild, ( i think that's what it is anyway!) I've uploaded the pac for anyone to import and test. If people have any other charting packages could they please test my CQG version of CMF against another package to see if the values are the same? Thanks Papa. cmf.pac

Hi, Thanks, I found the param bit that was causing me grief!! :-) I've come up with this now.... Sum((((Close(@)- Low(@))-(High(@)- Close(@)))/(High(@)- Low(@)))* Vol(@),period) / Sum(Vol(@),period) It's strange. At times it seems to look like reasonable values (i.e. +0.30, -0.25 etc), but the you change the timeframe or look back into the past and the values go very wrong! +9,500 as an example. It should literally be the Accumulation distribution / volume for the same lookback period. Really can't figure out why it's not working as it should. Any ideas? Obviously I've done something wrong, just don't know what!! Thanks Papa

Me again.... I've coded the following CMF which seems to work..... Sum(A_D(@) ,period) / Sum(Vol(@) ,period) This seems to work with no syntax errors, but the 2nd condition in the sum brackets automatically changes in the code from 'period' to '8' when pasting the above line into the custom study formula box ..... Sum(A_D(@) ,8) / Sum(Vol(@) ,8) And I have no options once the study is in place to change the period. it seems fixed at 8. If you could ask your friend if he knows why, that would be great. Also, could you ask him what the '@' signs means? Does that just mean 'value'? Thanks again.

Once again, thanks a lot for your time and effort. Looking at the 'formula' behind the CMF it doesn't seem like it would be very difficult to code - I just need to learn the syntax for CQG though. I'll give it a stab and see where I get to in the mean time! Papa

Thanks Soultrader! The MFI seems to be working great. Sorry I meant Chaikin Money Flow, not the Chaikin Oscillator.... I've found the formula for CMF..... CMF = SUM(AD, n) / SUM(VOL, n) where n = Period and here's an article on it just for your info.... http://www.linnsoft.com/tour/techind/cmf.htm Do you know anyone that might have this? Thanks Papa
