MultiCharts Coding

Recommended Posts

Hello,

 

I'm starting with MultiCharts and for my first programming exercise, I would like to generate a signal and an alert if the following conditions are present:

Condition1 =macd line >0

Condition2 = macd histogramme >0

Condition3 = price cross over upper bollinger band

 

Could you please help me to write this code ?

 

Is it an indicator or a signal or a function ???

 

Thanks in advance,

Getting Started with EasyLanguage

 

it is not a difficult book, but it does take time and patience to read.

the book is full of examples for all kinds of analysis.

I promise you, the payback will be in multifold.

 

 

I can help you to get from step 1 to step 2,

but you have to first get from step zero to step one.

Thank you Tams for your help.

 

I just finished studying the book, but I am unable to set an alarm between a bollinger band, a MACD and the price ...

This is not as "easy" as that ... :hmmmm:

 

This indicator took me 1 minute on ProRealTime, 10 minutes on NinjaTrader, and I fear it requires me 1 week on MC ... :embarassed:

 

So, what can I do ?

And is there any website where I could find some free indicators and strategy (exemple : pivot point, macd in color, etc, ...) ???

 

Thanks in advance !

I need a Real-Time Market Scanner and it seems to me that it does not exist in NinjaTrader ...

 

To schedule a simple strategy as (MACD> 0 and macdligne> 0 and price crossover BBup), where can I find help?

EasyLanguage is English like; it is easy to learn.

See the scribble you made? You already have 90% the strategy written!

Just combine the indicators and add your logic to the end...

and voila, you have your scanner !

 

Give it a try... you will be amazed at what you can do.

 

Good luck!

ok, but for exemple, I write :

 

if Close > BollingerBand(Close,12,2) and MACD(Close,12,26) > 0 then buy next bar at market ;

 

if Close < BollingerBand(Close,12,2) and MACD(Close,12,26) < 0 then sellshort next bar at market ;

 

But how can I use the macd line ??? I need to add a condition macd line > 0 for long and macd line < 0 for short and I found nothing ine the user manual..

 

Thanks in advance,

What format does Multicharts save easylanguage files in ? Is it ELD or something else ?

Paul

 

 

MultiCharts saves the indicators in a compiled file with PLA extension.

(vs pre-compile format of TS)

The two lines are the only code I use...

 

if Close > BollingerBand(Close,11,2) and MACD(Close,12,26) > 0 then plot1( 1, "test+" ) ;

if Close < BollingerBand(Close,11,-2) and MACD(Close,12,26) < 0 then plot2( -1, "test-" ) ;

 

I would write a warning indicator when the price breaks the bollinger band while the MACD is positive and the MACD histogram is positive ..

In this case, my dream is that the candle of the graph changes color and an alert sound.

So I can use this indicator in the Real-Time Market Scanner ...

 

As a first step, I need to understand how to use the MACD: how to retrieve the values of the MACD and the MACD histogram?

What is the instruction to change the color of the candle?

 

Thank you!

p.s. you are trying to jump from step zero to step 10 in one leap.

 

my suggestions:

 

I would not attempt to write buy/sell orders at the moment.

I would focus on technical skill first.

i.e. getting the indicator to plot a dot/line to illustrate your logic on the screen, so that you can visually verify your approach.

Otherwise it would just be GIGO.

I don't think you have finished reading the first chapter of the book.

 

You have to get yourself off Step Zero.

I can help you, but I will not write the code for you.

There are commercial services that can assist you if that's what you are looking for.

 

or, maybe others can chime in...

 

Have a nice day.

 

 

 

 

p.s. I don't think you could do that in 10 days with Ninja.

I am not looking for someone who write my code, but only to say me what EasyLanguage function I need to reach my target.

Because I have the "EasyLanguage Functions and Reserved Words Reference" but I'm not able to find for exemple how to use the macd line and the macd histogram... Because on page 216 of this reference manual, there is only few lines about macd function...

In the same way, I'm not able to find by myself what is the function I need to color the candle...

And all this is not on the first chapter of the "EL_Getting_Started" book :embarassed:

 

Have a nice days,

 

PS : I'm using currently alerts that I created with ninja wizard in minutes, without writing a word of code ;) ...

    • re TikTok Recently metafakebook made what was apparently a move to stay aligned with ‘culture’ - no more fact ‘checking’, no more censorhip... basically ‘Zucker’ was shown that his mission was failing because they were only building profiles on ‘useful idiots’ instead of those who oppose the great centralization  (... just like long ago he only saw campus potential and had to be shown the promise and rewarded for fronting the great spyware and social engineering project called Fakebook)... ie they could have replaced him long ago In the same vein, who holds ‘title’ to tiktok doesn’t matter either... it will remain a spyware project regardless of who ‘buys’ it... and the data will forever be available to the CCP Just sayin’

    • Date: 20th January 2025.   The NASDAQ Rises As Trump Inauguration Edges Closer!   US indices increased in value for the first time after struggling for 5 consecutive weeks. Of the main US indices the NASDAQ witnessed the strongest gains (4.12%). Risk indicators point to a higher risk appetite under the new US President, Donald Trump. President Trump's inauguration will take place this afternoon and has promised to sign over 100 consecutive orders within his first week. NASDAQ - Higher Investor Confidence! NASDAQ traders begin to stomach less frequent interest rate adjustments, the market turns its attention to earnings and Trump’s presidency. Investors are becoming more bullish under expectations that Trump will apply policies to support the US economy and entice further investment into the US stock market. A "risk-on" sentiment is evident in today's sessions, reflected in risk indicators like the VIX, High-Low Index, and Bond yields.     Investors this week will concentrate on two factors. The first factor is Trump’s consecutive orders which he has advised will be signed within his first week. Investors will closely monitor how and if these policies influence the US economy and stocks. The second factor is earnings season, which will start to gain momentum this week. Tomorrow, Netflix will release its quarterly earnings report after the market closes. Netflix is the NASDAQ’s 10th most influential company and 11th most impactful stock. Analysts expect the company’s earnings per share to drop from $5.40 to $4.21, but for Revenue to rise to $10.11 Billion. If Netflix is able to beat the earnings per share and revenue expectations, fundamental elections would indicate a rise in the price. Over the past 12 months the price has risen 76%. A further increase would further support the NASDAQ. Thereafter, investors will turn their attention to Intuitive Surgical’s earnings report. Currently, investors believe the company’s earnings per share and revenue will rise compared to the previous quarter. Intuitive’s stock has risen by more than 9% in the past week alone indicating that investors believe the company will continue to beat earnings expectations. The company has beat expectations over the past 12-months. How are Markets Reacting to Trump's inauguration? Trump pledged to issue executive orders aimed at advancing artificial intelligence programs and establishing the Department of Government Efficiency (Doge). Analysts expect these two alone to support US stocks. However, investors are not yet certain to what extent upcoming tariffs will pressure the NASDAQ and stocks. During the previous trade wars, the NASDAQ fell by 25% over a period of 4-months. Traders also should note that the NASDAQ rose in the 6-weeks after Trump won the elections. Over the past week, the VIX index fell by more than 12% indicating that the market believes US stocks will perform well under a Trump presidency. Simultaneously, US Bond yields have fallen from 4.80% to 4.58% which is known to positively influence the US stock market. Both the VIX and lower bond yields indicate higher investor confidence as Trump advises that policies will prompt more employment, US made products and more pro-US policies. NASDAQ - Technical Analysis The price of the NASDAQ trades above the 200-bar Moving Average on a 5-minute Chart indicating bullish price movement. Moving Averages have also crossed over upwards and the price trades above the VWAP indicating that the asset is maintaining its bullish momentum. Price action is also forming clear higher highs and higher lows, but investors will be cautious if the price does not find resistance at the $21,637 resistance level. In order to break above this level, investors will be hoping for positive earnings data from Netflix and Intuitive.     Key Takeaways: President Trump's inauguration will take place this afternoon with promise to sign over 100 consecutive orders within his first week. US indices rise after 5 weeks of declines, with the NASDAQ leading at 4.12%. Trump pledged to issue executive orders aimed at advancing artificial intelligence programs and establishing the Department of Government Efficiency. Analysts expect Netflix earnings per share to drop from $5.40 to $4.21, but for Revenue to rise to $10.11 Billion. Investors are becoming more bullish under expectations that President Trump will apply policies to support the US economy and entice further investment into the US stock market.

    • Consider: some 80% of small to medium-sized businesses around the world don’t have a website.   Many businesses in emerging economies rely on social media platforms (e.g., WhatsApp, Facebook) as their primary digital presence instead of formal websites.   But even in more digitally advanced economies, the number can hover around half.   Why? Simple answer: although we’ve made it easier to make a website, it’s still not easy enough.   Let’s say a yoga instructor wants to offer online classes but lacks tech skills or a budget.   Instead of struggling with confusing platforms, she tells her AI agent, “Set up a website for me to host yoga classes.”   The AI handles everything.   It integrates Stripe for payments, Zoom for live classes, scheduling services for in-person classes, and a chat module for inquiries.   It even suggests templates.   When the instructor picks one and asks for a purple and white color scheme, the AI updates it instantly.   No coding. No frustration. Just results.   And the best part? She didn’t have to touch a single screen or key.   This is the future Wilson describes in Age of Invisible Machines.   And, as mentioned, it’s powered by three core technologies:   Conversational User Interfaces (CUIs): Say what you need; the system handles it. From building websites to booking flights, it’s fast and human-like.   Composable Architecture: Traditional business solutions become “modules”. Like LEGO bricks, modular tools—payments, chats, scheduling—snap together to create custom solutions without starting from scratch.   No-Code Programming: AI agents code for you, empowering anyone to create without needing a developer. It’s not just a better way to interact with technology…   It’s a complete reimagining of how industries operate.   As Harvard Business School’s Marco Iansiti says, “This isn’t disruption—it’s a fundamental shift in production and interaction.”   And, the thing is…   It’s not just possible. It’s already happening.   Early examples are already here. – Chris Campbell, AltucherConfidential Profits from free accurate cryptos signals: https://www.predictmag.com/ 
    • Question: My name is Omobola Sikiru from Lagos, Nigeria. I am mechanical engineering. Where can I find someone that can be my helper to relocate me to the USA?   Answer: According to your own profile, you are trying to enter other countries through deception and immigration fraud.   You are an engineer in Nigeria, but you are not licensed as an engineer in any other country.   There are no helpers, no sponsors, and nobody is going to give you money, get you an engineering job, or get you a visa.   You must qualify to immigrate. Nobody can help you with that.   Either you qualify and have settling in money, or you don’t.   You need to improve your English before trying to get a job in a Western, English speaking country. Engineers write reports. You wrote, ‘I am mechanical engineering’. Nobody will hire you if you write like this.
