CQG Missing Several Key Indicators

Recommended Posts

Hi all,

 

I've just started using CQG, from previously using eSignal. I do like the look of CQG so far. However, I'm used to having the esignalcentral forum to discuss indicators - most of which seem to already be in the program or easily downloaded from people sharing in the forums there.

 

However, I can't for the life of me find an equivalent CQG forum until finding TradersLab. Any ideas where I can get the following indicators in CQG or if there are any CQG dedicated forums out there??

 

Chaikin Money Flow

Money Flow Index

ATR based trailing stop.

 

Appreciate any help or direction.

 

Cheers

Papa.

Hi Papa,

 

Are you familiar with the CQG formula and toolbox. If you have the coding behind the indicators, you should be able to replicate them as custom study.

 

Let me search around to see if any of my buddies have those available.

Thanks Soultrader. It's appreciated.

 

I'm just having a play around with it now. I guess I will have to attempt to learn it somehow and code these studies myself. Hopefully you'll be able to find some of them. Fingers crossed!!

 

Very suprised they're not included though.

 

I'll wait to hear from you before I make an amateurish attempt!!

 

Thanks again

Papa.

Hi Papa,

 

I was able to obtain Chaikin and MFI for CQG. Please see the below threads:

 

1. http://www.traderslaboratory.com/forums/f46/chaikin-money-flow-for-cqg-5135.html

2. http://www.traderslaboratory.com/forums/f46/money-flow-index-for-cqg-5136.html

 

Unfortunately the ATR trailing stop is not available... I can not seem to find anyone with this.

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

Hi Papa,

 

Let me see if I can find it. No guarantees though. I guess one could write it but im no coder. (tried over and over again but still cant seem to figure out how to program!)

 

I do have a coder who builds conditionals, studies, backtests, etc... for me so will ask if he's already got it.

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!

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.

Hi Papa,

 

@ simply means value I think. So a -1 would indicate volume one bar back a -2 would indicate volume 2 bars back. You can change this in the toolbox area.

 

Also, in order to change the parameters.... simply highlight the line and hit the setup button. (see pic below)

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

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.

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?

    • re TikTok Recently metafakebook made what was apparently a move to stay aligned with ‘culture’ - no more fact ‘checking’, no more censorhip... basically ‘Zucker’ was shown that his mission was failing because they were only building profiles on ‘useful idiots’ instead of those who oppose the great centralization  (... just like long ago he only saw campus potential and had to be shown the promise and rewarded for fronting the great spyware and social engineering project called Fakebook)... ie they could have replaced him long ago In the same vein, who holds ‘title’ to tiktok doesn’t matter either... it will remain a spyware project regardless of who ‘buys’ it... and the data will forever be available to the CCP Just sayin’

    • Date: 20th January 2025.   The NASDAQ Rises As Trump Inauguration Edges Closer!   US indices increased in value for the first time after struggling for 5 consecutive weeks. Of the main US indices the NASDAQ witnessed the strongest gains (4.12%). Risk indicators point to a higher risk appetite under the new US President, Donald Trump. President Trump's inauguration will take place this afternoon and has promised to sign over 100 consecutive orders within his first week. NASDAQ - Higher Investor Confidence! NASDAQ traders begin to stomach less frequent interest rate adjustments, the market turns its attention to earnings and Trump’s presidency. Investors are becoming more bullish under expectations that Trump will apply policies to support the US economy and entice further investment into the US stock market. A "risk-on" sentiment is evident in today's sessions, reflected in risk indicators like the VIX, High-Low Index, and Bond yields.     Investors this week will concentrate on two factors. The first factor is Trump’s consecutive orders which he has advised will be signed within his first week. Investors will closely monitor how and if these policies influence the US economy and stocks. The second factor is earnings season, which will start to gain momentum this week. Tomorrow, Netflix will release its quarterly earnings report after the market closes. Netflix is the NASDAQ’s 10th most influential company and 11th most impactful stock. Analysts expect the company’s earnings per share to drop from $5.40 to $4.21, but for Revenue to rise to $10.11 Billion. If Netflix is able to beat the earnings per share and revenue expectations, fundamental elections would indicate a rise in the price. Over the past 12 months the price has risen 76%. A further increase would further support the NASDAQ. Thereafter, investors will turn their attention to Intuitive Surgical’s earnings report. Currently, investors believe the company’s earnings per share and revenue will rise compared to the previous quarter. Intuitive’s stock has risen by more than 9% in the past week alone indicating that investors believe the company will continue to beat earnings expectations. The company has beat expectations over the past 12-months. How are Markets Reacting to Trump's inauguration? Trump pledged to issue executive orders aimed at advancing artificial intelligence programs and establishing the Department of Government Efficiency (Doge). Analysts expect these two alone to support US stocks. However, investors are not yet certain to what extent upcoming tariffs will pressure the NASDAQ and stocks. During the previous trade wars, the NASDAQ fell by 25% over a period of 4-months. Traders also should note that the NASDAQ rose in the 6-weeks after Trump won the elections. Over the past week, the VIX index fell by more than 12% indicating that the market believes US stocks will perform well under a Trump presidency. Simultaneously, US Bond yields have fallen from 4.80% to 4.58% which is known to positively influence the US stock market. Both the VIX and lower bond yields indicate higher investor confidence as Trump advises that policies will prompt more employment, US made products and more pro-US policies. NASDAQ - Technical Analysis The price of the NASDAQ trades above the 200-bar Moving Average on a 5-minute Chart indicating bullish price movement. Moving Averages have also crossed over upwards and the price trades above the VWAP indicating that the asset is maintaining its bullish momentum. Price action is also forming clear higher highs and higher lows, but investors will be cautious if the price does not find resistance at the $21,637 resistance level. In order to break above this level, investors will be hoping for positive earnings data from Netflix and Intuitive.     Key Takeaways: President Trump's inauguration will take place this afternoon with promise to sign over 100 consecutive orders within his first week. US indices rise after 5 weeks of declines, with the NASDAQ leading at 4.12%. Trump pledged to issue executive orders aimed at advancing artificial intelligence programs and establishing the Department of Government Efficiency. Analysts expect Netflix earnings per share to drop from $5.40 to $4.21, but for Revenue to rise to $10.11 Billion. Investors are becoming more bullish under expectations that President Trump will apply policies to support the US economy and entice further investment into the US stock market.

    • Consider: some 80% of small to medium-sized businesses around the world don’t have a website.   Many businesses in emerging economies rely on social media platforms (e.g., WhatsApp, Facebook) as their primary digital presence instead of formal websites.   But even in more digitally advanced economies, the number can hover around half.   Why? Simple answer: although we’ve made it easier to make a website, it’s still not easy enough.   Let’s say a yoga instructor wants to offer online classes but lacks tech skills or a budget.   Instead of struggling with confusing platforms, she tells her AI agent, “Set up a website for me to host yoga classes.”   The AI handles everything.   It integrates Stripe for payments, Zoom for live classes, scheduling services for in-person classes, and a chat module for inquiries.   It even suggests templates.   When the instructor picks one and asks for a purple and white color scheme, the AI updates it instantly.   No coding. No frustration. Just results.   And the best part? She didn’t have to touch a single screen or key.   This is the future Wilson describes in Age of Invisible Machines.   And, as mentioned, it’s powered by three core technologies:   Conversational User Interfaces (CUIs): Say what you need; the system handles it. From building websites to booking flights, it’s fast and human-like.   Composable Architecture: Traditional business solutions become “modules”. Like LEGO bricks, modular tools—payments, chats, scheduling—snap together to create custom solutions without starting from scratch.   No-Code Programming: AI agents code for you, empowering anyone to create without needing a developer. It’s not just a better way to interact with technology…   It’s a complete reimagining of how industries operate.   As Harvard Business School’s Marco Iansiti says, “This isn’t disruption—it’s a fundamental shift in production and interaction.”   And, the thing is…   It’s not just possible. It’s already happening.   Early examples are already here. – Chris Campbell, AltucherConfidential Profits from free accurate cryptos signals: https://www.predictmag.com/ 
    • Question: My name is Omobola Sikiru from Lagos, Nigeria. I am mechanical engineering. Where can I find someone that can be my helper to relocate me to the USA?   Answer: According to your own profile, you are trying to enter other countries through deception and immigration fraud.   You are an engineer in Nigeria, but you are not licensed as an engineer in any other country.   There are no helpers, no sponsors, and nobody is going to give you money, get you an engineering job, or get you a visa.   You must qualify to immigrate. Nobody can help you with that.   Either you qualify and have settling in money, or you don’t.   You need to improve your English before trying to get a job in a Western, English speaking country. Engineers write reports. You wrote, ‘I am mechanical engineering’. Nobody will hire you if you write like this.
