hello , Midknight : Can you give me some comment on esignal about providing HSI real time intraday data feed ? Is it stable and fast enough ? How often do their data feed causing delay or even down server ? Sorry to ask this as I have never used esignal before and sure these kind of opinions can never be obtained from their CS too , so I can only ask the user . thanks in advance .

hello ; Finally I got the help from the Customer Service of multicharts and here is the solution . Before this there is error at the first time I receive help from them too and after several times of ask and help it was fixed . The problem maybe because of tick and minutes data . The following codes work in MC , both intraday data and EOD data . Wish it can help to all MC users . thanks { Chaikin Money Flow } inputs: len(20); var: den(0), den2(0); var: vol(0); if BarType >= 2 then vol = Volume else vol = Ticks; den = summation(vol,len); den2 = H-L; if den = 0 or den2 = 0 then begin value1 = 0; end else begin value2 = ((( C-L ) - ( H-C )) / ( H-L ) * vol); value1 = summation(value2, len) / den; end; if value1 > 0 then begin plot1(value1, "CMF_Hist", green); plot2(value1, "CMF_Line", green); end else begin plot1(value1, "CMF_Hist", darkmagenta); plot2(value1, "CMF_Line", darkmagenta); end; plot5(0, "Mid");

I found the following code from a web page , but unluckily , it did not plot anything in the multicharts . Anyone know what is the bug ? I am using in on index so there is volume . After I read the code, I can't sure if the mistake caused by the volume" if and else " . Here is the code ; inputs: len(21) ; var: den(0), den2(0); // Currencies don't always track volume, so this sets the value to zero if there isn't volume den = summation(V,len); den2 = H-L; if den = 0 or den2 = 0 then begin value1 = 0; end else begin value1 = summation(((( C-L ) - ( H-C )) / ( H-L )) * V,len) / den; end; if value1 > 0 then begin plot1(value1, "CMF_Hist", red); plot2(value1, "CMF_Line", red); end else begin plot1(value1, "CMF_Hist", blue); plot2(value1, "CMF_Line", blue); end; plot5(0, "Mid");

no , because I suppose MC will put it on their web page data base since it is a popular indicator .

As title , Can anyone post here the code for multichart ? I cannot find it in the newest MC and their homepage . thanks in advance .

dear all I am going to write some assignment topic about : If financial markets are efficient why does technical analysis still exist ? since there are many TA chartists and people in this forum are good in economic too . Can someone give me some hints suggestion that what web page , paper , materials to let me know about this topic and make reference . Thanks in advance .

the error message is : Trying access at data to future Bars reference value : -1 It was a paintbar indicator that let me browse through the chart to look its performance visually . Maybe it was caused by a variable , moving average [n] , I tried to refer to a value by a variable n in the bracket . Is this syntax not legal in power language ? When I test it in the complier , it is ok but when I add this indicator the error message pop out .

thanks Tam , you are always kind and helpful !! Forgive me about asking this kind of question as I really confused by this software sometimes . I see the MRO in the function list of MC but no description in the latest version 5.5 manual . In the Easylanguage manual , the MRO write : MRO(Test, Length, Instance) , but for MC , it is : MRO = RecentOcc( Test, Len, Instance, 1 ) ; What is the 1 stand for ?? maybe that is what I am confused for ....

I just looked again to MC homepage and found the the manual was updated to version 5.5 , woh !! what a surprise .... but I still cannot find the MRO function . Is the manual not included all the function about power language ?

I am really a little bit confused ... I am still a Multichart novice and try to practice the easy language but the name in it is Power language . I cannot find the MRO function in the manual , both pdf and chm file which provided by the web site . The pdf manual was version 3.0 but the current version of MC is 5.0 gold .... When I apply MRO in write my own indicator , it seems has error . The other error I encounter was the program said I refer the data to future ....?? It has no problem when I run the power language complier . It is sunday and I cannot ask the CS so I can only ask here , sorry .

thanks for replying . So that means I can write a single system/strategy that can combine all my thinking in it ? Forgive me to say . The manual of MC is really really suck ! A novice can only read some books about TS easylanguage but seems there are a lot of things that are not that compatible .

Hell , a novice question here . I browsed through the power language editor and the manual (it is still a pdf manual of version 3.0 , am I wrong ?). The entry and exit code of each strategy seems separated . Is that mean the entry and exit code must be wrote in separated 2 code and apply to the same chart to get a full trading system test result ? If it is , then will the trailing stop and money management be more difficult to be done ? As I would like test some rules of mine that maybe base on somethings base on the entry bar . Such as time , or bars after , number of times which it cross down a short time moving average again... All these are to be count from the entry signal bar . Or should I copy the same code again to the exit code again but just take out the "buy" statement ? Thanks .

forgive my clumsy in EL , just add a phase C > adap10 then solved the problem . I have a lot to learn about EL .... :crap:

I tried to test the most simple work visually and wrote the following to test the code if it works for a close cross over the adaptive line . But the result was that even the close cross below the line after two days , it still get paint bar ....really scratching my head ... What is the mistake ? // Adap10 inputs: Price( Close ), EffRatioLength( 10 ), FastAvgLength( 2 ), SlowAvgLength( 30 ) ; variables: Adap10(0) ; Adap10 = AdaptiveMovAvg( Price, 10, FastAvgLength, SlowAvgLength ) ; // test barsince Vars: BarWhen(0), BarsSince(0), MA(0); If C crosses over Adap10 then BarWhen = BarNumber; BarsSince = BarNumber - BarWhen; If BarsSince = 2 then PlotPaintBar(High,Low,open,close,"",cyan);

The indicator was on MC homepage so I guess not all of the readers like me to just copy and paste the material on here . sorry if you feel it is improper to do so .

Novice question . In EL , how to count the number of bars past a certain occasion ? e.g. If the Close cross over the average 10 days ago and it return a value 10 . I browsed the EL reserved word manual but seems cannot find some function like 'barsince' ? It should be in EL but just maybe using another term only .Can someone tell me what is the proper name of it ? thanks in advance .

sorry sir , seems it is not what I want , I make example to express more clearly . Let say , if it is a 5 minutes bar , from first bar - 10:05am , then 10:10 , then 10:15 , then 10:20 .... The fourth bar show a buy in signal and highlight (whatever). the value I want is the the lowest low of these 4 bars as a stop lost value, that means some combination of functions to return this value . Barsince seems only return the number of bars , not the price . Or do you mean I should use it to write several lines to get the value I want ? I cannot figure out .....

sorry , After enter the file into MC , I cannot complied them . Can any one using MC who can tell me how to fix it ? thanks :crap:

hello . Is there any code in EL to find out the value count from the bar when I opened the position ? For example , if I've just opened a position , long position , I want to set the stop lost point at the lowest low within the last 4 bars from this entry bar (including this bar) . Is there any reserved function/word for me to do this ? Besides , is there any candlestick pattern function that can let me use too ? Thanks in advance .

thanks , Thrunner , In fact I have most of them but just cannot find some useful descriptions about pivot . I missed the last one about the reserved words of EL .This is one I should have . I got the pages now and I will take a look . Wish I can get the solution I wanted .

hello , Zdo and other member . I can find the indicators you said , pivot & swing , but when I tried to know more about it and open the help file but cannot find the it . I am using MC version 5 (latest update ) . I go through the pdf manual but cannot find them too . How can I know more about the syntax of it if I want to . There are ebook to learn easylanguage but are for TS only . Sad that it is hard to find one in MC . The pdf manual of MC is very insufficient . thanks in advance .

hi , I am a newbie in MC . I used metastock before . When in metastock , there was a function call trough value . It can let me set to alert , eg , a dropping moving average stop dropping and then move upward when the downward and upward movement reached the extent I set , eg 2% , something like that . There is a opposite peak function too . I cannot find it after I browsed throughly in the keyword help , or MC used other name to label it ? Thanks .

hi , even I can't help a lot as I am a newbie in using MC too , but felt very happen that I can meet so people that did not mind to give their opinions to us . Thanks , Tams .

hi , it is interesting to meet someone who is trading in hang send index futures here . Any day trader about it like to share your experience ?

oh , sorry , I have fixed it already . I would like to know . Is it necessary for MC to put every indicator's coding from each scripts of the paintbar or indicators if the indicators are already exist in my list ? Is there any "refer" function or syntax which can make is easier ?
