I like this educative indicator

 

This is a suggestion to have only one candle at a time

 

if ((C>O) AND((C-O)/(.001+H-L)>.6)) then 
Message = Message + " LongWhiteCandle"

else if (C>O) then 
Message = Message + " WhiteCandle" 	

else if ((C>O) AND ((H-L)>(3*(C-O)))) then 
Message = Message + " SmallWhiteCandle" ; 

if (O>C AND (O-C)/(.001+H-L)>.6) then 
Message = Message + " LongBlkCandle" 

else if (O>C) then 
Message = Message + " BlkCandle"          

else if ((O>C) AND ((H-L)>(3*(O-C)))) then 
Message = Message + " SmallBlkCandle" ;

The candle name logic was designed by an unknown author.

I have reviewed various codes floating around the internet, I think some of this code can be attributed to Surinote.

 

My contribution is limited to making the candle names visible on the chart.

 

I believe the multi-label is due to a candle having multiple attributes.

As in any indicator, one really need to understand the context to make it meaningful.

Like for the Black/white candles to take less space on the screen and avoids duplication

 

This is an other suggestion to choose only one gap

 

It

// Gaps
if GapUp AND GapUp[1] then 
Message = Message + "DoubleGapUp"
else if L > 1.02 * H1 then 
Message = Message + "HugeGapUp"  
else if L > 1.01 * H1 then 
Message = Message + "BigGapUp"    
else if GapUp then 
Message = Message + "GapUp" ;    

if GapDn AND GapDn[ 1] then 
Message = Message + "DoubleGapDown"  
else if H < 0.98 * L1 then 
Message = Message + "HugeGapDown"  
else if H < 0.99 * L1 then 
Message = Message + "BigGapDown"   
else if GapDn then 
Message = Message + "GapDown" ;

I think it will require some major re-engineering work.

 

I am busy in the next few weeks... let me see if I can schedule it sometime in May.

Tams,

 

I sometimes come across some EasyLanguage indicator code that I would like to translate; however, they have the ELD extention and I don't have TradeStation. Is there any other way to open these files for me to examine the code? I usually can do the translation myself, but I can't open files with this extention.

You can start an new thread and post the codes there.

I will open them and post the text file here for you.

    • In Italy, I saw many of our brothers from different parts of Africa, sleeping and living in the park, the weather was very cold and its obvious that they were looked down upon. It made me want to cry and several questions overwhelmed my heart.   Is it not better to remain in Africa than to be homeless in this freezing cold weather?   I wish I have all the money in the world to rescue them...   Is this the reason why our skin color is looked down upon?   Do our government officials see this sight when they also travel outside of the country...does it hurt them or pain them like it pained me?

    • Date: 28th March 2025.   Market Selloff Deepens as Tariff Concerns Weigh on Investors     Global stock markets extended their losing streak for a third day as concerns over looming US tariffs and an escalating trade war dampened investor sentiment. The flight to safety saw gold prices surge to a record high, underscoring growing risk aversion. Stock Selloff Intensifies The MSCI World Index recorded its longest losing streak in a month, while Asian equities saw their sharpest decline since late February. US and European stock futures also signalled potential weakness, while cryptocurrency markets retreated and bond yields edged lower. Investors are scaling back their exposure ahead of President Donald Trump’s expected announcement of ‘reciprocal tariffs’ on April 2. His latest move to impose a 25% levy on all foreign-made automobiles has sparked fresh concerns over inflation and economic growth, prompting traders to reassess their strategies. Investor Strategies Shift Market experts are adjusting their portfolios in anticipation of heightened volatility. ‘It’s impossible to predict Trump’s next move,’ said Xin-Yao Ng of Aberdeen Investments. ‘Our focus is on companies that are less vulnerable to tariff policies while taking advantage of market dips to find value opportunities.’ Yield Curve Signals Economic Concerns In the bond market, the spread between 30-year and 5-year US Treasury yields widened to its highest level since early 2022. Investors are bracing for potential Federal Reserve rate cuts if economic growth slows further. Long-term Treasury yields hit a one-month peak as inflation risks tied to tariffs spurred demand for higher-yielding assets. Boston Fed President Susan Collins noted that while tariffs may contribute to short-term price increases, their long-term effects remain uncertain. Gold Hits Record High as Safe-Haven Demand Rises Amid market turbulence, gold prices soared 0.7% on Friday, reaching an all-time high of $3,077.60 per ounce. Major banks have raised their price targets for the precious metal, with Goldman Sachs now forecasting gold to hit $3,300 per ounce by year-end. Looking Ahead As investors digest economic data showing US growth acceleration in Q4, attention will turn to Friday’s release of the personal consumption expenditures (PCE) price index—the Federal Reserve’s preferred inflation measure. This data will be critical in shaping expectations for future Fed policy moves. With markets on edge and trade tensions escalating, investors will closely monitor upcoming developments, particularly Trump’s tariff announcement next week, which could further dictate market direction.   Always trade with strict risk management.
