2 Indicator 1 Chart 2 Times.

[kamakazy 10]

Hi

 

I use the hulMA on my charts and would like to modify it to pull info from another chart.

 

For example i have a 60 min and a 15 min chart open in the same workspace in Tradstation.

 

on my 15 min chart i want to add the hullMA of the 15 min and 60 min chart.

 

How can i do this

 

 

Here is the code im using

 

	

Inputs: price(Close), length(21),
	zeroLine(0.0), zeroVisible(false),
    upColour(Green), downColour(Red), colourDeltaBar(1);

Value1 = jtHMA(price, length);

Plot1(Value1, "jtHMA");

If ZeroVisible = true then
Plot2(zeroLine, "Zero");

{ Color criteria }
if (Value1 > Value1[1]) then 
SetPlotColor[colourDeltaBar](1, upColour)
else if (Value1 < Value1[1]) then 
SetPlotColor[colourDeltaBar](1, downColour);

tams thanks as always for replying to my post!

 

im really stuck here though i do understand data2 and that i can set data 2 as a 60 min chart i dont get where to add that into the code above!!

 

Manay thanks again!

[Tams 20]

in the Property of FORMAT STUDY , select data2 as the data source to base the study on.

Value1 = jtHMA(price, length, data2); ??

[Tams 20]

Value1 = jtHMA(price, length, data2); ??

 

 

pls see my edited post #4.

hi tam

 

I found that but i only have 1 in the option even though i have 2 charts in this 1 window!

 

Do i have to define the studies anywhere?

[Tams 20]

you have to add data2 INTO the chart you want the indicator to show up.

[kamakazy 10]

sorry i dont know how, i remember doing this on another indicator but cannot find how?

click: insert symbol

[kamakazy 10]

yes but if i do that it replaces the current symbol there is no where to say this symbol is data2

[Tams 20]

you have to check with the manual for instruction.

[kamakazy 10]

ok thanks for all you help

[kamakazy 10]

Hi me again!

 

Ok that seemed to work ok but i really would like to get this indicator to do this as standard!

 

Is it not quite easy to add a line of code to plot another line using data2?

YES! It is easy.

Hi

 

I have tried pretty much everything

 

I have changed the line of code from

 

Value1 = jhlma(price, length);

 

to

 

Value1 = Proanchor(price, length)data2;

 

Which then seems to plot the other line but looks weird!!

 

Any Ideas?

 

 

the thin one is the wrong one!!

[Tams 20]

not enough info..........

[kamakazy 10]

ok ill try again,

 

with the original code

 

	

Inputs: price(Close), length(21),
	zeroLine(0.0), zeroVisible(false),
    upColour(Green), downColour(Red), colourDeltaBar(1);

Value1 = jtHMA(price, length);

Plot1(Value1, "jtHMA");

If ZeroVisible = true then
Plot2(zeroLine, "Zero");

{ Color criteria }
if (Value1 > Value1[1]) then 
SetPlotColor[colourDeltaBar](1, upColour)
else if (Value1 < Value1[1]) then 
SetPlotColor[colourDeltaBar](1, downColour);

 

i have tried a number of things

 

 

first i tried changing value 1

 

Value1 = jtHMA(price, length) data2;

 

which then did this to the line (the blue and white one is correct and from data1)

 

 

then i tried changing the price input to:

 

Inputs: price(Close data2)

 

this just changed the whole line to red!!

 

 

All i want it the same line twice on the same chart one pulling data1 and the other data2.

 

Im not getting very far!

 

Thanks again Tams

Hi Kama...

I'm not exactly sure what you are trying to do but here is a code that calculates the hull moving average with two data time frames and plots it using a paint bar.

It is a different solution to, Ithink, the problem you are having.

 

Maybe this will help

 

Inputs: Length (13);

Vars: LoTime(0), HiTime(0);

 

 

LoTime = (jthma(low of Data1,Length));

HiTime = (jthma(low of Data2,Length));

 

{Trend Up}

If (close of Data1 > LoTime and close of Data2 > HiTime) Then plotpaintbar(high,low,"trend",blue) else plotPB(high,low,"trend",lightgray);

{Trend Neutral}

{If close of Data1 > LoTime and close of Data2 < HiTime Then plotpaintbar(high,low,"Trend",lightgray);}

{If close of Data1 < LoTime and close of Data2 > HiTime Then plotpaintbar(high,low,"Trend",lightgray);}

 

{Trend Down}

If close of Data1 < LoTime and close of Data2 < HiTime Then plotpaintbar(high,low,"Trend",Red);

 

 

1. produce a chart with the lower time frame you want

2 insert same symbol again at the higher time frame

3 apply the indicator

 

hope this helps

 

ps Jthma is the function

hello there,

 

Thanks for that, very nice instructions my friend.

 

its nice but not exactly what i want

 

Ill explain and hopefully you can help!!

 

Basically the screaming moving average uses jthma to create a line which changes colour on the trend direction!

 

I use this to catch trades on a 15 min chart, i usually have a 60 min open as well as an anchor chart to check this matches the 15.

(if both my jthma lines are magenta i long it)

 

Now what i want is the have the 60 min line also on my 15 min chart so i have the 60 min and 15 min jthma line on the chart.

 

If they are both magenta ill long if they are both white ill short!!

 

It does work but now i just need them both on same chart!

 

Thanks

[kamakazy 10]

ok, so i have modified my code and actually got somewhere!!!!

 

Now there is just one small problem

 

I get gaps in the line, you can see them blue...

 

Any ideas what they are and how i can stop this

 

Here is the code and the pic!!

 

Inputs: price(Close), price2(Close data2),  length(9),
	zeroVisible(false),
    upColour(Blue), downColour(White),upColour2(Green), downColour2(Red), colourDeltaBar(1);

Value1 = jthma(price, length);
Value2 = jthma(price2, length);


Plot1(Value1,"jthma");
Plot2(Value2,"jthma2");

{ Color criteria }
if (Value1 > Value1[1]) then 
SetPlotColor[colourDeltaBar](1, upColour)
else if (Value1 < Value1[1]) then 
SetPlotColor[colourDeltaBar](1, downColour);


if (Value2 > Value2[2]) then 
SetPlotColor[colourDeltaBar](2, upColour2)
else if (Value2 < Value2[2]) then 
SetPlotColor[colourDeltaBar](2, downColour2);


end;

[dovetree 10]

Kama, You just need to change the plot section of my code to plotlines instead of paintbars and you'll get the result you want

 

Cheers

 

and change

 

 

LoTime = (jthma(low of Data1,Length));

HiTime = (jthma(low of Data2,Length));

 

to close of data1... etc

[kamakazy 10]

hi there i have done that though it now looks abit strange!!

 

I think its because data1 is 5min and data2 is 60 min and the 60 min line does not know what to do on a 5 min timframe!!

 

I have attatched the pic, the light blue patches should not be there, is there anyway to sort this?

 

 

Thanks
