Easy Language in OEC, Help with Channel Indicator

[popstocks 10]

I first started this code in the rapid indicator and realized that it was running my cpu to %50 every time that a new high or low was made on the chart. So I then tried moving it over to easy language to see if it ran better there but still no go. Can someone here more experienced in Easy with OEC please see what could be wrong? Thanks!

 

 

Inputs: L(15);

Plot1(Average(

 

 

Average((Close + Open) /2, 28) + Highest(High-Average((Close + Open) /2, 28),L)

 

,4),"Upper");

Should be easy enough. Not really sure what the calculation you are trying to accomplish here. Kind of looks like what you typed above got cut off.

Hi,

 

That's the code I tested with in Easy, there is another bottom plot that makes up the channel but it is the same code just substituting low and lowest.

 

It compiles without errors in both Easy and Rapid, but when either version is applied to the chart the result is the same. The series plots fine and everything is good and cpu runs very low that is up until a new high or low is made and then my cpu runs up to 50% and oec starts to freeze / chart starts to lag. My CPU is only like a year old, equivalent code on thinkorswim for instance doesn't run cpu up more than maybe 1%.

 

 

 

This is the code with both upper and lower of the channel.

 

Inputs: L(15);

Plot1(Average(

 

Average((Close + Open) /2, 28)+ Highest(High-Average((Close + Open) /2, 28),L)

 

,4),"Upper");

 

 

Plot2(Average(

 

Average((Close + Open) /2, 28)+ Lowest(Low-Average((Close + Open) /2, 28),L)

 

,4),"Lower");

Well I took a guess at what you wanted. No idea if this is what you were looking for, but it could be a starting point.

 

Inputs: Length(15),Bars_Back(15);

Variables:
Avg(0), HH(0),UC(0);


Avg=AverageFC(((Close+Open)/2),Length);
HH=Highest(High,Bars_Back);

UC=Avg+(HH-AVG);

Plot1(UC,"Upper Channel");

Lol, we must have posted at the same time.

Thank you,

 

I will play with that on monday to see if it helps. My first intuition is that OEC has some poorly coded Highest and Lowest that suck cpu.

No idea as I dont use anything using the Highest High or Lowest Low functions. Maybe using EL as the language will help.

 

Also, i have an older computer and OEC often runs at 100%, especially during times of high volatility, eg. when price is making a new high or a new low. I think older chips struggle to keep up with OEC for whatever reason. I am by no means a computer tech, but it could be the .net that it is based in. Maybe if you could put it on a new computer to see if it acts the same way.

So by declaring things separately and initializing variables etc it helps Easy code run better?

I'll have to do more testing on Monday. OEC runs very low cpu even on volatile times for me, all the indicators I am running are not interfering with that - all except for this one that I am trying to fix.

I just ran some "benchmarks"

 

I did a "load more data" without highest and lowest indicators on the chart and with.

 

Loading more data on a chart without these indicators takes about 5 seconds and that is including running other things like stoch and averages, however loading more with the highest and lowest the process takes 40 seconds and the cpu goes overboard! Looks like the highest and lowest functions must be what is making this code so heavy on the cpu.

No idea, just made it easier to make. Would have to find someone w/ more knowledge than what I have.
