Error Code Help Please

[emptyvault 10]

I am a newbie in multicharts and easylanguage .

I tried to translate the code I used in metastock to it .

The following is a moving average .

I tested it in the complier but no error return and complied successfully for the first time ,

but when I applied it over a chart , it returned error message and said there are kind of floating calculation error .

Can someone give me a hand ?

(notes , CMO is chande mementum oscillator which was posted here by another kind man earlier )

 

 

{10VIDYA}

inputs: smooth(5);

variable : AbsCMO(0);

variable : SC(0);

variable : vidya10©;

AbsCMO=AbsValue(CMO©)/100;

SC= 2/(smooth+1);

vidya10= (sc*AbsCMO*c)+(1-(SC*AbsCMO))*vidya10[1];

Plot1(vidya10,"vidya10");

:crap:

I have tried to add a statement ->

 

SetFPCompareAccuracy(1);

 

to decrease the accuracy if it caused the problem , but still cannot help ....

[flyingdutchmen 10]

besides a price the cmo needs a period for its calculation,

change

 

AbsCMO=AbsValue(CMO©)/100;

 

by

 

AbsCMO=AbsValue(CMO(C,5))/100;

 

and it should work,

or as you prefere set a input for the CMO's Period

 

good luck

Thanks for replying .

I have tried that before . When I added the coma and a figure in it .

It just shown error :

Invalid number of parameters. 1 parameter(s) expected .

 

Did I miss some steps that have to declare the CMO function as it is not built in by the program ?

[emptyvault 10]

I tried and tried over and over again .

I cannot sure if it is bug or not but it finally seems worked out on some charts only . Some symbols still show same error .....

maybe I have to ask CS for help again ..

There are 2 versions of code.

 

if you had imported the PLA version from this thread:

http://www.traderslaboratory.com/forums/f46/cmi-chande-momentum-indicator-6013.html

the CMO function only requires one input.

 

input:

Length(NumericSimple);

 

try 14

 

 

if you had copy and pasted the text code in the 2nd post, you will need 2 inputs:

 

input:

Price(NumericSeries),

Length(NumericSimple);

try

close for price,

and 14 for length.

dear Tams ,

I used the first one and downloaded there .

Did you try the code I posted if you can see any problem on your computer . As I only success for once but most of the other simbol return error message . I guess maybe it is the problem of MC . If someone tried the code and you can successfully apply to your chart . Please dont mind to tell me .

 

In fact , it is said to be the code of variable index dynamic average of Tuschar Chande which I picked out from my MS program and tried to translate to MC codes . If someone has better way to do it . Please feel free to share .

oh , I just found that at MC home page .

There is vidya by Chande, let me see if it is the same old one .

thanks all .

don't just say "I found it".

For the benefit of all, and as a courtesy,

post a link of your find.

[flyingdutchmen 10]

this is from tradesignal enterprise should work with ts as well;

is this the vidya you were looking for

 

function "VIDYA"

 

Inputs: 
Price( NumericSeries ), 
Period( NumericSimple ),
Smoothing( NumericSimple );

Variables: 
absCMO, SC;

absCMO = Abs( CMO( Price, Period ) ) / 100;

SC = 2 / ( Smoothing + 1 );

If Currentbar > 1 And IsValid( VIDYA[1] ) Then 
VIDYA = ( SC * absCMO * Price ) + ( 1 - ( SC * absCMO ) ) * VIDYA[1]
Else
VIDYA = Price;

 

function "CMO" for VIDYA's calculation

 

Inputs:
Price( NumericSeries ),
Period( NumericSimple );

Variables:
priceToday, pricePrev, sumUp, sumDown, i;

sumUp = 0; 
sumDown = 0;
For i = 0 To Period - 1 Begin
priceToday = Price[i];
pricePrev = Price[i+1];	
If priceToday > pricePrev Then
	sumUp = sumUp + ( priceToday - pricePrev )
Else If priceToday < pricePrev Then
	sumDown = sumDown + ( pricePrev - priceToday );
End;

If sumUp = 0 Then
CMO = -100
Else If sumDown = 0 Then
CMO = 100
Else If sumUp <> sumDown Then
CMO = 100 * ( ( sumUp - sumDown ) / ( sumUp + sumDown ) )
Else
CMO = 0;

 

VIDYA indicator

 

inputs: Price    ( Close ),
       Period   ( 14 ),
       Smoothing( 4 );

variables: myVIDYA(0);

myVIDYA = VIDYA( Price, Period, Smoothing );

plot1( myVIDYA,"VIDYA" );

The indicator was on MC homepage so I guess not all of the readers like me to just copy and paste the material on here .

sorry if you feel it is improper to do so .
