Playing with MA's

Recommended Posts

Hi,

 

An idea for a good RS patterns "scanner".

 

If we could create an indicator that will show the gradient of the MA as a % it will be very helpful to see power trends or bases.

 

If the gradient of the MA is near to 0% then we know that the stock is creating a base.

 

If the gradient is near to 90% then is a super power trend.

 

Negative gradient will indicate down trend.

 

Any idea how to do it?

 

Thanks

this has been done... but I can't locate the code at the moment.

 

 

you can start with the GradientColor keyword.

GradientColor

 

 

Returns an RGB color number, representing a shade of color from within a defined color range.

 

The gradient shade of color is determined by the value of the specified numerical expression in relation to the defined value range.

 

For example,

if the color range is defined as White to Black,

and the value range is defined from 0 to 2,

GradientColor will return an RGB color number representing White for the value of 0,

Gray for the value of 1,

and Black for the value of 2.

 

White will be returned for all values < 0, and Black for all values > 2.

 

 

Usage

 

GradientColor( Value, Min, Max, StartColor, EndColor )

 

Where:

Value – the specified numerical expression

Min – the minimum value of the value range; if Value = Min, StartColor is returned

Max – the maximum value of the value range; if Value = Max, EndColor is returned

StartColor – the starting color of the color range

EndColor – the ending color of the color range

 

 

Example

 

Plot an ADX indicator in Gradient Color,

where Magenta gradually changes into White for the indicator values from 5 to 50:

 

 

Variable: ADXValue( 0 );

 

ADXValue = ADX( 14 );

 

Plot1( ADXValue, "ADXValue" );

 

SetPlotColor (1, GradientColor( ADXValue, 5, 50, Magenta, White ));

This is out of Trade Station help. It takes hours to find anything there so I always copy and past them into word.

Good luck.

 

Any one have a simple program to make a few bucks on ES mini that they would like to share. I have not been able to clean mine up up to the point that I feel safe turning them on.

Thanks.

 

 

 

How to make a SLOPE or ANGLE Calculation and plot it.

There are many ways to do this in EL/Tradestation this is one method I prefer.

 

Angle = Price Range / Bar Count

One bars worth will look choppy ... so I always average the result.

If you calulate the angle or slope each bar if become a variable the can be back-referenced.

 

example:

Input: Showme(True);

var:angle(0), angleMA(0);

 

 

if Showme then begin

Angle = C-C[1];

{or something like this}

Angle = (C-C[3])/3; {etc...}

 

AngleMa = xaverage(Angle,3);

 

if AngleMA > AngleMA[1] then begin

Plot1(AngleMA , "MA",Tool_Green,0,1);{ 0-6 -last number changes line thickness}

else begin

Plot1(AngleMA , "MA",Tool_Red,0,1);{the opposite condition}

end;{of_ShowMe}

The trick is determining what the slope actually means. By the time a MA line shows a peak, you are already way to late, the price has already dropped. So you need to look at slope still going up, but not going up as much. Momentum is slowing.

 

But MA lines have all kinds of problems. In a nice smooth, trending market, they will work just fine. But price does all kinds of things. Price will retrace, it will look like it's going up, and then go down. MA lines are terrible for those kinds of situations.

that's why in a trendy market (esp a bull market), every idiot is a genius,

...and every indicator is a grail.

    • Question: To those that had/have cancer, what were the signs that made you think “something is not right here” to make you go see a doctor? Answer: So, 5/25/2018, I woke up, got ready for work, and as I walked to my car, I started gagging. Like something was stuck in my throat and I needed to clear it. And then it went away.   But 10 minutes after that, I was T-boned at 40mph on the driver side door. But what made me see a doctor was while my muscles felt better and bruises were going away, the gagging still continued, I started having fevers, my neck felt swollen, I was having such a hard time breathing, and I'd have random sharp pains in my chest, but not from where the seat belt saved me.   2 weeks after the accident, I finally see an urgent care doctor, who looks me over, tells me I'm fine, but luckily requests a neck X-ray. And I ask for a chest X-ray, which he rolls his eyes but let me have (most of my pain was in the neck, so I understand).   The very next day, he calls and says “So, that chest X-ray shows there's a 4 inch mass on your heart and lungs, and your lungs have been filling up with fluid, as well as in your pericardial (heart) wall. We need you to come in tomorrow.”   Turns out the big mass, due to the accident, caused my heart and lungs to tear and fill with fluid, the swollen neck and gagging was caused by 2 metastasized tumors, and the fevers and weight loss were symptoms. Stage 4b Hodgkin's Lymphoma.   But thankfully, we went very aggressive with chemo (and had a lot of bad side effects that don't normally happen to patients), and now I'm about 16 months cancer-free. Yay lucky X-rays!
