have you tried G-O-O-G-L-E ?

no , because I suppose MC will put it on their web page data base since it is a popular indicator .

I found the following code from a web page , but unluckily , it did not plot anything in the multicharts .

Anyone know what is the bug ? I am using in on index so there is volume . After I read the code, I can't sure if the mistake caused by the volume" if and else " . Here is the code ;

 

inputs: len(21) ;

 

var: den(0), den2(0);

 

// Currencies don't always track volume, so this sets the value to zero if there isn't volume

den = summation(V,len);

den2 = H-L;

 

if den = 0 or den2 = 0 then begin

value1 = 0;

end

else begin

value1 = summation(((( C-L ) - ( H-C )) / ( H-L )) * V,len) / den;

end;

 

if value1 > 0 then begin

plot1(value1, "CMF_Hist", red);

plot2(value1, "CMF_Line", red);

end

else begin

plot1(value1, "CMF_Hist", blue);

plot2(value1, "CMF_Line", blue);

end;

 

plot5(0, "Mid");

First order in forum etiquette:

 

Always give credit.

i.e. cite the source !

 

 

Second order in forum etiquette:

 

Give as much info as possible, so that people can start helping you immediately.

i.e. annotated charts, notes, inputs variables, samples outputs, expectations, etc.,

don't expect people to read your mind, or to search for the info you already have.

 

 

Third order in forum etiquette:

 

Don't ASSUME anything

because when you ass-u-me, you make an Ass out of U and Me

hello ;

Finally I got the help from the Customer Service of multicharts and here is the solution .

Before this there is error at the first time I receive help from them too and after several times of ask and help it was fixed .

The problem maybe because of tick and minutes data . The following codes work in MC , both intraday data and EOD data .

Wish it can help to all MC users . thanks
