Can Someone Tell Me How to Get an Indicator to Stop Plotting

Recommended Posts

Hi all. I am relatively new to EasyLanguage and am trying to combine 2 indicators to show me a 3rd indicator when 2 conditions match up in the first 2. I have it so that it will Plot when these 2 conditions are right but I cannot get it to stop plotting. I have it set to a histogram. I tried "Else NoPlot" but that just made everything go blank.

 

This is the Code I have;

 

value1=GordoMACDDiff(Close,12,26);

value2=$rtOscillatorDivergence(high,low,value1,0.9);

value3 = ThreeLineBreak;

 

Condition1 = value2 >=0 and value3 >=0;

 

Condition2 = value2 <=0 and value3 <=0;

 

 

If

Condition1 then begin

Plot1(1,"Buy",green);

end;

 

 

If

Condition2 then begin

Plot1(-1,"Sell",red);

end;

 

I wanted to add a screenshot but when I click on the attachment icon, nothing happens?

 

Thanks

Hi Shortski,

 

Can you try the attachment function again? Im not having any issues on my end. Thanks.

What values do your functions $rtOscillatorDivergence and ThreeLineBreak return? If they only return a 0 or a 1, then one of your Condition statements will always be true and the indicator will always be plotted.

Yes, that is what they return. So there is no way for the new Plot to only show when both parameters are present then?

 

 

Well, there would be a way, but you will need to add additional code to make sure you don't always have a true condition to plot. I am not 100% sure of what it is you are trying to check, but if those two functions either return 0 or 1, maybe changing the your condition statements as below might help?

 

Condition1 = value2 > 0 and value3 > 0;

 

Condition2 = value2 = 0 and value3 = 0;

Yes, both indicators plot 1s and 0s. So is there any way to get the new indicator to plot when both conditions are met (only)?

 

Try changing the code as above.

 

Or like this:

 

Condition1 = value2 = 1 and value3 = 1;

 

Condition2 = value2 = 0 and value3 = 0;

Interesting. It removed the conditions where the set up was present as well as the green bars. So, basically, I need almost the exact opposite of that. I will play with it a bit after the market closes.

if your logic is correct then try...

 

If Condition1 then 
Plot1(1,"Buy",green)

else
Noplot(1);

etc

 

and use a point not a line in the style

I tried Else NoPlot and Else NoPlot(1) and when I try to complile it, it wants 'end' where the 'else' is. Right now, I am trying to vary the code to see if I can come up with returns other than +/1 1.

 

Thanks for all the help on this guys. I appreciate the inputs.

did you try?

 

value1=GordoMACDDiff(Clos e,12,26);
value2=$rtOscillatorDiver gence(high,low,value1,0.9 );
value3 = ThreeLineBreak;

Condition1 = value2 >=0 and value3 >=0;

Condition2 = value2 <=0 and value3 <=0;

noplot(1);

If
Condition1 then begin
Plot1(1,"Buy",green);
end;


If
Condition2 then begin
Plot1(-1,"Sell",red);
end;

btw The EL editor / compiler :) only asks for an 'end;' if there is a 'begin'

Edited by zdo
it needed editing :)

That was a good Idea but when I entered it, the chart stayed the same. That is it plots a histogram bar on every price bar. I also tried;

 

if not condition1 and not condition2 then noplot(1);

 

and got the same result.

 

Thanks though.

Did you try changing the style from histogram to point?

Which subgraph are you plotting it in?

Maybe post the code for all and we'll get it going

This is the code and the attachment shows you what it comes out like in the lower subgraph. I circled the areas where it should plot but I am trying to remove it from the other areas and just have it blank. Someone suggested to me to put a Switch in the code so the code only plots when the condition is present. I haven't tried this yet as I ahve never tried that.

 

value1=GordoMACDDiff(Close,12,26);

value2=$rtOscillatorDivergence(high,low,value1,0.9);

value3 = ThreeLineBreak;

 

Condition1 = value2 >=0 and value3 >=0;

 

Condition2 = value2 <=0 and value3 <=0;

 

 

If

Condition1 then begin

Plot1(1,"Buy",green);

end;

 

 

If

Condition2 then begin

Plot1(-1,"Sell",red);

end;

Do me a favour, your screenshot looks a little confusing.... post a screenshot of just the two indicators on it that you're trying to combine.

 

 

Also....

 

What's the full code... as in value3 just says threelinebreak..... so what's the threelinebreak made up of.

 

Also... in your code... if value2 & value3 = 0 then both conditions are true..

 

Post a new pic and some details and I'll take a look.

 

Cheers

I cannot post the ThreelineBreak Function as it is a leased indicator. On the chart, it is the continuous indicator plotting in sub graph 2. The other indicator in sub graph 2 is the Oscillator Divergence.

 

The OscillatorDivergence is also a leaded indicator that I have inserted a MACD offset into. The Function for the MACDDiff is;

 

Inputs: FastLength(NumericSimple),

SlowLength(NumericSimple),

MACDLength(NumericSimple);

 

Vars: double var0(0), double var1(0);

 

var0 = MACD( Close, FastLength, SlowLength ) ;

var1 = XAverage( var0, MACDLength ) ;

 

gordoMACDDiff = (var0 - var1) ;

 

And the Indicator is;

 

inputs: FastLength( 12 ), SlowLength( 26 ), MACDLength( 9 ), EMALength(9) ;

variables: var0( 0 ), var1( 0 ), var2( 0 ), EMAMACDDIFF(0) ;

 

var0 = MACD( Close, FastLength, SlowLength ) ;

var1 = XAverage( var0, MACDLength ) ;

var2 = (var0 - var1) ;

EMAMACDDIFF = Xaverage(var2, EMALength);

 

 

Plot3( var2, "MACDDiff" ) ;

Plot4( 0, "ZeroLine" ) ;

Plot5(EMAMACDDIFF, "EMADiff");

 

condition1 = var2 crosses over 0 ;

if condition1 then

Alert( "Bullish alert" )

else

begin

condition1 = var2 crosses under 0 ;

if condition1 then

Alert( "Bearish alert" ) ;

end;

 

 

I do know that the Oscillator gives a return of 0.00 and it is either a red or green 0.00. The ThreeLineBreak returns either a +1 or a -1.

 

I understand what you are saying about the >= and <= 0 but it is the only way to get it to plot at all. Any changes creates a blank plot. I have tried a +/-1 as well as +/-1 for the ThreeLineBreak and 'red' and 'green' for the OscillatorDivergence.

If

end;

 

 

If

Condition2 then begin

Plot1(-1,"Sell",red);

end;

 

Try this:

inputs:

ChartBGColor( black );

//ChartBGColor is Chart Background Color, where users can define color based on their Chart Background Color Settings.

--

Your Stuff for Condition 1 and 2

--

 

if Condition 1

then begin

YourIndicator=1;

YourIndicatorColor= Blue;

end

else

if Condition 2

then begin

YourIndicator=-1;

YourIndicatorColor= Red;

end

else

begin

YourIndicator=0;

YourIndicatorColor= ChartBGColor;

end;

Plot1( YourIndicator, "YourIndicator", YourIndicatorColor);

Regarding your ThreelineBreak Function ...... it's possible that ( as with some functions ) that it's value = -1 when the condition is false.... so could you make up an indicator and insert this code then post a pic.

 

Plot1(ThreeLineBreak, "ThreeLineBreak");

 

 

Also you're saying the Oscillator gives a return of 0 and changes color to either red or green..... this is incorrect as it's only set to plot at zero.... the actual figure will be different......... ( this could also be the case with the ThreeLineBreak )

 

Again if you can post a chart with ONLY these two indicators on... then we'll hopefully get somewhere.

 

Cheers

    • Back in the early 2000s, Netflix mailed DVDs to subscribers.   It wasn’t sexy—but it was smart. No late fees. No driving to Blockbuster.   People subscribed because they were lazy. Investors bought the stock because they realized everyone else is lazy too.   Those who saw the future in that red envelope? They could’ve caught a 10,000%+ move.   Another story…   Back in the mid-2000s, Amazon launched Prime.   It wasn’t flashy—but it was fast.   Free two-day shipping. No minimums. No hassle.   People subscribed because they were impatient. Investors bought the stock because they realized everyone hates waiting.   Those who saw the future in that speedy little yellow button? They could’ve caught another 10,000%+ move.   Finally…   Back in 2011, Bitcoin was trading under $10.   It wasn’t regulated—but it worked.   No bank. No middleman.

They could’ve caught a 100,000%+ move.   The people who made those calls weren’t fortune tellers. They just noticed something simple before others did.   A better way. A quiet shift. A small edge.

    • What These Attacks Look Like There are several ways you could get hacked. And the threats compound by the day.   Here’s a quick rundown:   Phishing: Fake emails from your “bank.” Click the link, give your password—game over.   Ransomware: Malware that locks your files and demands crypto. Pay up, or it’s gone.   DDoS: Overwhelm a website with traffic until it crashes. Like 10,000 bots blocking the door. Often used by nations.   Man-in-the-Middle: Hackers intercept your messages on public WiFi and read or change them.   Social Engineering: Hackers pose as IT or drop infected USB drives labeled “Payroll.”   You don’t need to be “important” to be a target.   You just need to be online.   What You Can Do (Without Buying a Bunker) You don’t have to be tech-savvy.   You just need to stop being low-hanging fruit.   Here’s how:   Use a YubiKey (physical passkey device) or Authenticator app – Ditch text message 2FA. SIM swaps are real. Hackers often have people on the inside at telecom companies.   Use a password manager (with Yubikey) – One unique password per account. Stop using your dog’s name.   Update your devices – Those annoying updates patch real security holes. Use them.   Back up your files – If ransomware hits, you don’t want your important documents held hostage.   Avoid public WiFi for sensitive stuff – Or use a VPN.   Think before you click – Emails that feel “urgent” are often fake. Go to the websites manually for confirmation.   Consider Starlink in case the internet goes down – I think it’s time for me to make the leap. Don’t Panic. Prepare. (Then Invest.)   I spent an hour in that basement bar reading about cyberattacks—and watching real-world systems fall apart like dominos.   The internet going down used to be an inconvenience. Now, it’s a warning.   Cyberwar isn’t coming. It’s here.   And the next time your internet goes out, it might not just be your router.   Don’t panic. Prepare.   And maybe keep a backup plan in your back pocket. Like a local basement bar with good bourbon—and working WiFi.   As usual, we’re on the lookout for more opportunities in cybersecurity.
