Hi duhhh, I do not use Tradestation anymore so I have no way of testing it for you. However, the best thing you can do is download the EMA or Bollinger Band ELDs and transpose the Gapless code to the Hull. *Just remember that whenever there is 'Price' in the code this needs to be changed to the gapless price. *Also remember that anything plotted on the 1st pane eg. EMA, BBs Keltner etc. will need to have 'accum' added to the code. * If there is a Function involved that includes 'Price' (as with the JtHMA) then you will need to place the gapless code in the function as well.....that's usually the reason it does not work! Just study the code and don't give up.....that's the way I learned to code these extra indicators! Post your code here and either I or someone else can take a look at it. You should also post your errors if you have any. Hope it helps mate.

Hey, thanks a lot Blu-Ray.....you're always a champion in my eyes! Best regards. :cheers:

Hi all, I was watching a vid from TradeGuider.com and liked the way their charts plotted a horizontal trendline at the value of every current tick. Here is the code I was playing with: Vars: mytime(0), mydate(0); If barnumber=1 then begin mytime=time; mydate=date; end; Variables: ID(0); if lastbaronchart then begin ID = TL_New(MyDate, MyTime, Close, Date, Time, Close); Value1 = TL_SetExtRight(ID, True); "a condition here".................TL_Delete(ID); end; This is exactly what I wanted it to do (partially) : It would plot a trendline at the current tick value. So for example the T/L would move with the tick value of each bar as it ticked back and forth. On a 60min chart this would happen up to say 200 or more times.....great.....BUT. The problem is that when the chart plots a new bar, a T/L remains from the last close value for the previous bar. So if you were using a 1min chart then a T/L would remain every 1 minute. I wanted the T/L to move to the next bar and only plot the current bar's current value. I'm assuming that the 'lastbaronchart' may not need to be used. This was used to test the recent activity of the T/L. I also played with barnumber<>barnumber[1] parameters to delete previuos T/Ls but since T/Ls were plotted more than once per bar this did not seem to work. Any ideas? Thanks in advance, Sim.

Here is a link worth reading: Better Know the TICK Indicator|Move the Markets

The first question and third question are answered here: MEGAUPLOAD - The leading online storage and file delivery service and you can also Google "Mastering The Trade djvu". The second question: The answer is yes. The $Tick will give you a good perspective of the internal market dynamics. The fourth question: Do a search for the "Value Chart" and understand how that works, then once you watch the video you can see how it all comes together

Maybe you have alert set to "Once".....try setting to "Once Per Bar".....give it a shot.....I'm thinking from memory, I'm not sure. Another thing you can do is open the EasyLanguage and comment out all references to anything other than the +/-1000 alerts ie. place // before all lines not needed and then press F3 to compile. Another way you can do it is get rid of the Tick alert lines altogether and just place a horizontal line across +1000 and -1000 and set alerts to each as mentioned above. Hope it helps.

The ES 092809. Note it was a strong up day. The Tick bias is blue so you want to buy at the blue dots and perhaps scale out at the red dots. I noticed the Value Chart dots at the open were excessive. Changing the code so that it does not plot before '9:30 + NumBars' may help.....otherwise just ignore the first few minutes I've always been a fan of the Value Chart but like all oscillators (IMHO) they do poorly on trend action. I tried it on the Tick chart and was quite happy with the results. Try it for yourself.

Here is a workspace featuring a TICK chart and an ESINX chart. The indicators are as such: @sk_ESINX. (Index Arbitrage Program Trading Premium Values) This is a simple indicator that will plot the most probable levels where trading programs are bound to generate buy and sell orders. Please see http://www.indexarb.com/index.html for more information. You will need to update new levels daily before the market opens. For Tradestation users other symbols are $SPINX and $ESINX, $NDIQX and $NQIQX, and $RLIUX and $ERSIUX. Other data vendors may use PREM or EPREM. The video of Hubert Senters using $ESINX is below or alternatively find it here: [ame= ]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1eVJZnT5oHg[/ame] @Tick Bias. It is important to know the market bias from the first half hour of trading whether it be bearish (average below zero) or bullish (above). I wanted something visual so that it would remind me to go with the trend of the day ie. don't go short when the Tick trend is bullish. Fade the Tick lows if it's bullish. Of course this is a simplification . My dilemma was how to produce an average from the start at 9:30 am ET. So I wrote code to calculate the moving average of the TICK as each bar unfolded (ie. incremental......average of 2 bar closes on second bar, average of 3 bar closes on third bar until a suitable moving average could kick in (say, a moving average of 50 on the 50th bar)). Blue (bullish), Pink (bearish), Gray (neutral). *******The last high and low in the format dialogue must be a wide histogram********* @Tick Alert Lines. Simple enough. Obvious levels of Tick extremes. Alerts as well. @sk_Value Chart show me. Plots Value Chart extremes on Tick chart. Signals a possible reversal. Play with the levels to suit. N.B. These indicators are as is with no time spent being fussy with code. You are welcome to modify them. If you have an improvement in code or other ideas feel free to post. You may need the XVid codec to watch the video. ****** For Tradestation users it would be best to install the .ELD first then open up the workspace in the zip file. I'm not sure if it will open up the way the image portrays but just make sure if you insert indicators that you insert @Tick Bias last as the background painting will cover the others otherwise! ****** TICK BIAS AND ESINX.ELD TICK BIAS AND ESINX.txt TICK BIAS and ESINX workspace.zip Hubert-Program Trading3.avi

Do you find you cannot either use text to speech alerts or get confused when pop ups quote 6 letter forex symbols? Here is a symbol function to help with this. I set my alerts to 'text to speech'. Here is an example as to how you would use this function: Alert("Bullish cross over on " + SymbolText + " " + NumtoStr(BarInterval,0) " minute chart."); ie. if symbol is EURJPY on 60min chart.......this will display/speak..... "Bullish crossover on Euro Yen 60 minute chart." You can make a variable using 'BarType' to substitute tick, minute, volume, range bar in the above example if you use multiple bar types. eg. "Bullish crossover on Euro Yen 100 range bar chart." SymbolText=GetSymbolName; //default return for ANY symbol if symbolroot="AUDJPY" then SymbolText="Aussie Yen"; if symbolroot="AUDUSD" then SymbolText="Aussie"; if symbolroot="CADJPY" then SymbolText="Canadian Yen"; if symbolroot="CHFJPY" then SymbolText="Swiss Yen"; if symbolroot="EURAUD" then SymbolText="Euro Aussie"; if symbolroot="EURCAD" then SymbolText="Euro CAD"; if symbolroot="EURCHF" then SymbolText="Euro Swiss"; if symbolroot="EURGBP" then SymbolText="Euro Sterling"; if symbolroot="EURJPY" then SymbolText="Euro Yen"; if symbolroot="EURUSD" then SymbolText="Euro"; if symbolroot="GBPCHF" then SymbolText="Sterling Swiss"; if symbolroot="GBPJPY" then SymbolText="Sterling Yen"; if symbolroot="GBPUSD" then SymbolText="Cable"; if symbolroot="NZDJPY" then SymbolText="Kiwi Yen"; if symbolroot="NZDUSD" then SymbolText="Kiwi"; if symbolroot="USDCAD" then SymbolText="Dollar CAD"; if symbolroot="USDCHF" then SymbolText="Swiss"; if symbolroot="USDJPY" then SymbolText="Yen"; if symbolroot="$DXY" then SymbolText="Dollar Index"; if symbolroot="JC" then SymbolText="Japanese Yen"; if symbolroot="EC" then SymbolText="Euro"; if symbolroot="AD" then SymbolText="Aussie Dollar"; if symbolroot="BP" then SymbolText="Pound Sterling"; if symbolroot="CD" then SymbolText="Canadian Dollar"; if symbolroot="SF" then SymbolText="Swiss Franc"; Special thanks to TAMS and SURI for helping me with the bugs! Enjoy!

Hi all, I have previously purchased Juriks indicators for AmiBroker but I have changed to Tradestation. I have the Jurik dlls but not the EL functions to call the dlls. Would anyone consider posting these and/or the complete TS installer? If this is not possible I can post the MetaTrader code for Jurik's indicators for some kind soul to convert to EL. Thanks in advance! Simterann22

Thanks Snowbird for the input. I do not have the PBF indicators. Though I am impressed with their videos. I didn't see a lot of difference between theirs and the 'freeware' indicators on this site (Blu-Ray's) and the TradeStation forums. I get tired of paying good money for indicators that are just tarted up versions. eg. I believe the iTunnel is just a Keltner Channel (set at 1?). However, I've read on PBFs site that they show you, once you buy their indicators, how to use them effectively......That, you don't always get with a free indicator . As for the squeeze tip....thanks..... that does make sense. With a squeeze alert it's easy to get sucked in right away and chase the market. Cheers.

That's correct. As PBF say on their website theirs isn't really like the traditional squeeze ie. the BB Squeeze, it just looks similar. As for the BB Squeeze, the 'Squeeze' happens when the Bollinger Bands enter into the Keltner Channel....signalling a quiet period....thus the red signal. That's the time to get ready to see a momentum breakout ie. BB breakout. If you change BBSqueeze to "False" then that should give you a PBF-like Gaussian 'squeeze' as per the original screen shot.

Kmarinelli, first of all I am less than 3 months old in EL coding. I have simply learned by studying other coder's works and reading the reserved word and function descriptions in the help menu. The best way to learn is by observation and a desire to understand how code works. So my suggestion is to read the code below and also read the free TS pdf files on their website on EL. Here is a basic Squeeze RadarScreen without the 'bells and whistles' I personally use.....but this is just as good. I have basically modified Blu-Ray's BR_Squeeze RadarScreen to suit this squeeze. I have not allowed for the Gaussian or Countertrend options as I do not really use them....you're on your own if you want to modify it. Why not try? You can change the EL code to say "flat' in place of 'squeeze' if you like, just simply replace the text as such in the code. Make sure you format the indicator...... General>Load additional data for accumulative calculations (say 100)....and Style>ago>number> reduce decimal to zero. This version should work okay, though I have not fully tested it. Enjoy. @SK_SQUEEZE RADAR SCREEN.ELD Gapless Squeeze RadarScreen.txt

I assume you are trying to plot the RSI BBs, not the actual price data BBs? If so, yes, you need to code them together as the BBs will be plotted relative to the RSI value not to price data. Try this code: Inputs: Price(Close), RSILength(14), Oversold(30), Overbought(70), SDev(1.5), AvgLength(14); Vars: MyRSI(0), RSIBB(0), RSIAvg(0), BBsdev(0), Upper_Band(0), Lower_Band(0); // gapless day transitions - John McCormick May 2008 Vars: RelO(0), // Relative Open RelH(0), // Relative High RelL(0), // Relative low RelC(0), // Relative Close gap(0), // the opening gap (modified by the gap coefficient) GapCoef(1.0), // Gap Coefficient Accum(0); // The sum of all the daily gaps if currentsession(0)<>currentsession(0)[1] or date<>date[1] then begin gap=GapCoef*(O-C[1]); Accum=Accum+gap; end; if BarType<=0 or BarInterval<60 then //Valid only for Tick or Intraday under 60min begin RelO = O-Accum; RelC = C-Accum; RelH = H-Accum; RelL = L-Accum; end else begin RelO = O; RelC = C; RelH = H; RelL = L; end; // Gapless - end Var: GL_Price(0); GL_price = RelC; If Price=open then GL_price = RelO; If Price=high then GL_price = RelH; If Price=low then GL_price = RelL; MyRSI=RSI(GL_Price,RSILength); RSIAvg=Xaverage(MyRSI,AvgLength); BBsdev=StandardDev(MyRSI,AvgLength,1); Upper_Band = ( RSIAvg + Sdev * BBsdev ); Lower_Band = ( RSIAvg - Sdev * BBsdev ); Plot1(MyRSI,"MyRSI"); Plot2(RSIAvg,"RSIAvg"); Plot3(Upper_Band,"UBand"); Plot4(Lower_Band,"LBand"); Plot5(Oversold,"Oversold"); Plot6(Overbought,"Overbought"); @RSI&BB Gapless.txt

As per member's request here is the PDF of a thread discussing how to use the Dbl Stoch: TS FORUM- USING DBL TRIPLE STOCH -.pdf

Awesome. I'm happy you're testing these guys out and even happier you're sharing your results. I'm still essentially a newbie trader so although I can see the potential in indicators I often do not know how to really tweak them. Thanks

I looked into doing a similar thing. This is an idea from the TS Forums: Suppose you're trying to plot value1, and you don't want it plotted unless price gets within 2 big points. Format your plot as one of Point, Cross, Left Tic or Right Tic (cannot be Line), and modify your code to the following: input: plotThreshold(2); ... if absValue(C-value1)<=plotThreshold then plot1(value1,"Bull"); ******* So you could insert this into your FTP code****** The reason I do not use it is because it does not plot nicely on the chart.... a pivot line will look like it's been hacked to pieces, only appearing as a dot, tick etc if an individual bar high comes near it. I simply do not "Expand Range to Include Analysis Techniques" and I only see those pivots that appear within my chart range. Another alternative is to comment out the plots for monthly and weekly S and Rs but that's just a Bandaid job in my opinion.

Thanks Ajax358, I like to hear what other traders are doing. Yeah....similar to my setup but I hadn't quite found my 'perfect' timeframe for the ES etc. yet. Thanks for sharing your setup. Check out the DoubleStoch below. See what you think. It's actually a 'Quadruple Double Stochastic"! I simply made a new indicator with 4 together...it sure beats having to mount 4 each time I want to plot them. I've commented out one of the plots so I really only use 3 at this stage. Here is the text version as well: [LegacyColorValue = true]; {_DStoc: Double Stochastic Function} Inputs: DStLen(NumericSimple) ; Vars: Num(0), Denom(0), Ratio(0), PctK(0), DNum(0), DDenom(0), DRatio(0), DPctK(0); Vars: RelO(0), // Relative Open RelH(0), // Relative High RelL(0), // Relative low RelC(0), // Relative Close gap(0), // the opening gap (modified by the gap coefficient) GapCoef(1.0), // Gap Coefficient Accum(0); // The sum of all the daily gaps if currentsession(0)<>currentsession(0)[1] or date<>date[1] then begin gap=GapCoef*(O-C[1]); Accum=Accum+gap; end; if BarType<=1 then //Valid only for Tick or Intraday begin RelO = O-Accum; RelC = C-Accum; RelH = H-Accum; RelL = L-Accum; end else begin RelO = O; RelC = C; RelH = H; RelL = L; end; // Gapless - end {Stoc} Num=RelC-_Lst(RelL,DStLen); Denom=_Hst(RelH,DStLen)-_Lst(RelL,DStLen); Ratio=IFF(Denom>0,(Num/Denom)*100,Ratio[1]); PctK=IFF(CurrentBar=1,Ratio,PctK[1]+(.5*(Ratio-PctK[1]))); {DStoc} DNum=PctK-_Lst(PctK,DStLen); DDenom=_Hst(PctK,DStLen)-_Lst(PctK,DStLen); DRatio=IFF(DDenom>0,(DNum/DDenom)*100,DRatio[1]); DPctK=IFF(CurrentBar=1,DRatio,DPctK[1]+(.5*(DRatio-DPctK[1]))); _DStocGL=DPctK; {_Lst: Calculates Lowest Values} {Copyright 1998 Walter Bressert} Inputs: Price(NumericSeries),Length(NumericSimple); Vars: X(0), Lo(0) ; Lo=999999; For X=0 to Length-1 begin If Price[X] < Lo then Lo = Price[X]; End; _Lst=Lo; [LegacyColorValue = true]; {_Hst: Calculates Highest Values} {Copyright 1998 Walter Bressert} Inputs: Price(NumericSeries),Length(NumericSimple); Vars: X(0),Hi(-999999); Hi=-999999; For X=0 to Length-1 begin If Price[X]>Hi then Hi=Price[X]; End; _Hst=Hi; inputs: Test( truefalsesimple ), TrueVal( numericsimple ), FalseVal( numericsimple ) ; if Test then IFF = TrueVal else IFF = FalseVal ; { ** Copyright (c) 2001 - 2009 TradeStation Technologies, Inc.

I tried just the "open>high[1] or open<low[1]" without the currentsession or date coding and it works. So give it a go. Goes to show you sometimes simple things work! LOL Here is the currentsession function for you if you still want it: { Returns the session number of the session to which the current bar belongs; if the current bar does not belong to any session of the specified type, the function returns -1. } inputs: SessionType( numericsimple ) ; { 0 = autodetect, 1 = regular} variables: Initialized( false ), MySessionCount( 0 ), BarLocation( 0 ), BT( 0 ) ; arrays: SessionStart[ 1, 50 ]( 0 ), SessionEnd[ 1, 50 ]( 0 ) ; { these arrays allow for a maximum 50 sessions per week } CurrentSession = -1 ; if Initialized = false then begin for Value1 = 0 to 1 begin MySessionCount = SessionCount( Value1 ) ; for Value2 = 1 to MySessionCount begin SessionStart[ Value1, Value2 ] = MinutesIntoWeek( SessionStartDay( Value1, Value2 ), SessionStartTime( Value1, Value2 ) ) ; SessionEnd[ Value1, Value2 ] = MinutesIntoWeek( SessionEndDay( Value1, Value2 ), SessionEndTime( Value1, Value2 ) ) ; end ; end ; Initialized = true ; BT = BarType ; end ; BarLocation = MinutesIntoWeek( DayOfWeek( Date ), Time ) ; MySessionCount = SessionCount( SessionType ) ; for Value1 = 1 to MySessionCount begin if ( BarLocation > SessionStart[ SessionType, Value1 ] or ( BT = 0 and BarLocation >= SessionStart[ SessionType, Value1 ] ) ) and BarLocation <= SessionEnd[ SessionType, Value1 ] then begin CurrentSession = Value1 ; Value1 = MySessionCount ; { this short circuits the loop } end ; end ; { ** Copyright (c) 2001 - 2009 TradeStation Technologies, Inc.

Thanks Tams. I went to zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz since it was getting late. It worked! LOL Thanks so much.

Nope............................................................nothing. Surely it couldn't be lower case letters used for the symbols in the function could it? I'm sure TS would take this into account. I'd say there's nothing wrong with Suri's code....maybe the function's a little confused LOL.

Yeah, I tried both already. It either ignores it or quotes the exact symbol.....try listening to E.U.R.J.P.Y everytime a signal triggers! LOL Tams, also tried symboltext in Vars (both symboltext(0) and symboltext("") ) but then it will only accept symboltext in the code as a numeric or string. :crap:
