TICK Coding Help

[Soultrader 12]

Hello all,

 

I would like to receive some help coding a paintbar tool for TS for this strategy here: http://www.traderslaboratory.com/forums/f34/tick-hooks-tick-candles-1662.html#post9884

 

Im interested in an automatic line that can plot the opening 90 minute high/low for the TICK. I would also like somekind of visual way to see when the TICK reach this opening 90min high/low and make a TICK hook. I have both a candlestick and line on close plotted on the same chart.

 

Any help would be appreciated

I can help you out with the first one, where it plots a high and low for the first 90 minutes.

 

You'll have to adjust the start and end time as I'm based in England so start is 14:30 here. Also, if your using $TICK like your picture on the other thread, just format indicator and "base study on" data2.

 

Hope this helps

Thank you very much Blu-Ray. I will try this one out.

I have made minor changes to the above indicator to work regardless of the time zone one is in ( uses SessionStartTime instead of absolute time).

Do you mean that here?

Hi swisstrader,

 

Do you mind if you share that .eld file? Thanks

Do a little research on the TS forums and you'll be able to find this eld or be able to piece it together. Looks like swisstrader is taking a page from TTM and taking eld's from the TS forums and try to sell them.

trader273, before you write this you should research better!

I ever offer my own written code. And the FTP's on the current OR was my own idea in 2004!

Another piker in the wind, perhaps? Let's try to keep this forum a collaborative of traders helping traders ....

I am no longer a TS client so I cant get to the forums. But to say that a pivot eld combined w/ an opening range eld is something special that someone should pay $125 or whatever you want is crazy. There are dozens of pivot elds (hell, even a couple on this site) and there are a bunch of open range indicators. This idea is far from original.

Re: Nickm001 mod

 

When I use this - it only works for Regular Session and not my custom defined sessions... Am I doing something wrong here? I'd like it to post the x-minute range for any custom szession I have defined starting from the (csutom) session's 1st bar...

[nickm001 10]

Code is for regular session. Lines that needs to be changed is:

 

from ... "EndTime( CalcTime(SessionStartTime(1,1),EndTimeOffset))" to

 

EndTime( CalcTime(SessionStartTime(0,1),EndTimeOffset))

 

 

same for ... If time > EndTIme and time < SessionEndTIme(0,1) then

 

 

Here is the copy from TS guide that explains the difference...

____________________________________________

 

Usage

SessionStartTime(SessionType,SessionNum)

 

Parameters

SessionType

A numeric value. 0 = Auto Detect, 1 = Regular Session

 

SessionNum

A numeric value. Session Number to Reference

EDIT:

 

Ignore previous post... Just modify the following lines..

 

inputs:

StartTime( SessionStartTime(0,1)),

EndTime( CalcTime(SessionStartTime(0,1),90)),

 

 

I was looking at different version of my code, not the code I posted in here.

 

Note to admin: For some reason I cannot edit my previous post

I have added size and style option to this nice indicator

begin 
//	if Date <> Date[1] then { ie, if new day }

	begin

Good work!

You are learning fast.

 

[aaa 10]

Yes, We have good teachers here to help with this excellent trading software

But, It is only 2 tiny lines of Blue-Ray's script...

Anyway, Thanks for your compliment Tams.

Have a nice week trades.
