Convert MT4 Indicator into Tradestation Eld?

Recommended Posts

Hi,

 

I found 2 interesting and promissing indicators based on MT4 and would be happy to have them available for TS.

Anyone here "billangual" able to code MT4 and Easylanguage? Have MT4 code available and can post it.

 

Many thx in advance,

 

Goody

Here is my version. Feel free to modify.

 

1. MA_WRP indicator

 

{ Mimic VininI_BB_MA_WPR.v1.mq4 }

 

inputs: WRP_Len(55), MA_Len(3), BB_Len(89), BB_Std(1);

 

Vars: WRP(0), WRPMid(0), WRPUP(0), WRPDN(0), sDev(0);

 

{WRP = (PercentR( WRP_Len )+50 )*2 ; WRP with scale > 100}

 

WRP = PercentR( WRP_Len );

WRPMid = Average( WRP, BB_Len );

SDev = StdDev( WRP, BB_Len );

 

WRPUP = WRPMid + BB_Std*sDev;

WRPDN = WRPMid - BB_Std*sDev;

 

 

Plot1(Average(WRP, MA_Len), "%R w/BB" ) ;

Plot2(WRPMid, "WRPMid" );

Plot3(WRPUP, "WRPUP" );

Plot4(WRPDN, "WRPDN" );

Hi phim9hi3n,

 

great, many thanks for your help here!

Not sure what you think about it, but it seems to give a good help about where you are in a trend and if it maybe going to change. I had 2 screens attached in my first post.

There is some info available about the TDI on the Web to dig in a bit deeper, compassfx.com seems to be a good start.

 

So thx again and good luck,

 

Goody:)

I found also interesting indicator and I think it will be useful for others traders . I will apreciate if somebody helps me "trunslate" this code into Easylanguage TS. Thanks in advance,

Alex.

I just want add picture of this indicator with parameters:

PriceActionFilter=1;

Length=3;

MajorCycleStrength=4;

UseCycleFilter=false;

UseFilterSMAorRSI=1;

FilterStrengthSMA=12;

FilterStrengthRSI=21;

It seems to be similar to Kelly indicator.

Thanks.

Alex.

:) Yes, I found some info about TDI which is helped me in writing the code.

 

2. TDI w VolBand indicator.

 

Enjoy and lucky on trading.

 

Great job on converting the TDI to tradestation!

 

Here's my contribution, the attached Wilders Smooth is the same as the "Price Channel" the orignal poster shows in the screenshot, and as the Synergy method on MT4. Plot Wilder's twice, 1 with Price = high, 1 with Price = low. Length is 5.

WILDERS SMOOTH MA.ELD

It's Hodrick-Prescott Filter coded in MT4. it's widely used in econometrics or bussiness forecasting. hope someone convert it to Tradestation.

i've tried by myself but i've stucked in the Forward iteration part. he used one variable named x in the forward interation and it's third parameter of the function itself. but i don't know how to handle it on Tradestation.

if you have tried, but are unwilling to share your "efforts",

what chances are someone would like to collaborate in this ?

its only my simple indicator to plot local time on chart

 

Here is code that puts the clock on the chart. See the ELD file. I got it from the TradeStation, EasyLanguage Forum:

 

eKam Clock and Timer

 

Here is some really simple code that I create:

 

Once
Begin
Value1=Text_new(D,T,H,numtostr(T,2));
End;

Text_SetString(Value1, NumToStr(T,2));
Text_SetLocation(Value1, D, T, getappinfo(aihighestDispValue));

this code only gives you the ending time of the bar.

 

you should use currenttime:

 

Text_SetString(Value1, NumToStr(CURRENTTIME,0));

 

 

MultiCharts user can use CURRENTTIME_s, which gives the seconds portion of the time.

 

 

ps. there is a function/keyword to format the time into hh:mm:ss

Okay. Thanks. I learned something new. See, it's worth sharing code even if it's not perfect. ;)

i understand what you meant and i'd like to share anything i have. but i really have nothing.

i meant was i just tried to write some pseudo code to know if it's possible by myself.

    • Date: 3rd April 2025.   Gold Prices Pull Back After Record High as Traders Eye Trump’s Tariffs.   Key Takeaways:   Gold prices retreated after hitting a record high of $3,167.57 per ounce due to profit-taking. President Trump announced a 10% baseline tariff on all US imports, escalating trade tensions. Gold remains exempt from reciprocal tariffs, reinforcing its safe-haven appeal. Investors await US non-farm payroll data for further market direction. Fed rate cut bets and weaker US Treasury yields underpin gold’s bullish outlook. Gold Prices Retreat from Record Highs Amid Profit-Taking Gold prices saw a pullback on Thursday as traders opted to take profits following a historic surge. Spot gold declined 0.4% to $3,122.10 per ounce as of 0710 GMT, retreating from its fresh all-time high of $3,167.57. Meanwhile, US gold futures slipped 0.7% to $3,145.00 per ounce, reflecting broader market uncertainty over economic and geopolitical developments.   The recent rally was largely fueled by concerns over escalating trade tensions after President Donald Trump unveiled sweeping new import tariffs. The 10% baseline tariff on all goods entering the US further deepened the global trade conflict, intensifying investor demand for safe-haven assets like gold. However, as traders locked in gains from the surge, prices saw a modest retracement.   Trump’s Tariffs and Their Market Implications On Wednesday, Trump introduced a sweeping tariff policy imposing a 10% baseline duty on all imports, with significantly higher tariffs on select nations. While this move was aimed at bolstering domestic manufacturing, it sent shockwaves across global markets, fueling inflation concerns and heightening trade war fears.   Gold’s Role Amid Trade War Escalations Despite the widespread tariff measures, the White House clarified that reciprocal tariffs do not apply to gold, energy, and ‘certain minerals that are not available in the US’. This exemption suggests that central banks and institutional investors may continue favouring gold as a hedge against economic instability. One of the key factors supporting gold is the slowdown that these tariffs could cause in the US economy, which raises the likelihood of future Federal Reserve rate cuts. Gold is currently in a pure momentum trade. Market participants are on the sidelines and until we see a significant shakeout, this momentum could persist.   Impact on the US Dollar and Bond Yields Gold prices typically move inversely to the US dollar, and the latest developments have pushed the dollar to its weakest level since October 2024. Market participants are increasingly pricing in the possibility of a Fed rate cut, as the tariffs could weigh on economic growth.   Additionally, US Treasury yields have plummeted, reflecting growing recession fears. Lower bond yields reduce the opportunity cost of holding non-yielding assets like gold, making it a more attractive investment.         Technical Analysis: Key Levels to Watch Gold’s recent rally has pushed it into overbought territory, with the Relative Strength Index (RSI) above 70. This indicates a potential short-term pullback before the uptrend resumes. The immediate support level lies at $3,115, aligning with the Asian session low. A further decline could bring gold towards the $3,100 psychological level, which has previously acted as a strong support zone. Below this, the $3,076–$3,057 region represents a critical weekly support range where buyers may re-enter the market. In the event of a more significant correction, $3,000 stands as a major psychological floor.   On the upside, gold faces immediate resistance at $3,149. A break above this level could signal renewed bullish momentum, potentially leading to a retest of the record high at $3,167. If bullish momentum persists, the next target is the $3,200 psychological barrier, which could pave the way for further gains. Despite the recent pullback, the broader trend remains bullish, with dips likely to be viewed as buying opportunities.   Looking Ahead: Non-Farm Payrolls and Fed Policy Traders are closely monitoring Friday’s US non-farm payrolls (NFP) report, which could provide critical insights into the Federal Reserve’s next policy moves. A weaker-than-expected jobs report may strengthen expectations for an interest rate cut, further boosting gold prices.   Other key economic data releases, such as jobless claims and the ISM Services PMI, may also impact market sentiment in the short term. However, with rising geopolitical uncertainties, trade tensions, and a weakening US dollar, gold’s safe-haven appeal remains strong.   Conclusion: While short-term profit-taking may trigger minor corrections, gold’s long-term outlook remains bullish. As global trade tensions mount and the Federal Reserve leans toward a more accommodative stance, gold could see further gains in the months ahead.   Always trade with strict risk management.
