Tradestation Coding Help Showing Indicator from One Time Frame on Another Chart

Recommended Posts

I am a bit hopelss at coding. My question is twofold.

 

First is it possible n TS to take an indicator from a longer time frame chart,in this case a 6765 volume chart and show it on a faster chart, in this case a 2400 volume chart?

 

If this is possible could someone please explain how to do it or where might I find the information on how to do it.

 

Thanks in advance.

General answer ... 3 basic options

GV = Global Variable

ELC/ADE = EasyLanguageCollections/All data everywhere

Code in the 2400 chart that calculates indicator based on 6765 instead of 2400

(if you were using time bars, 4th option - you could use Data1 and Data2, etc)

 

See TS Support forum for how to 's on all the above...

 

Don't really have enough info about your situation but ADE is probably your best long term solution for this. hth

Good day all,

I am new to the forum and have read a number of the posts for MC and TS. I was looking for a more appropriate place to ask this question, but TAMS you have a very good knowledge of the platforms I am grappling with.

 

I have read that TS is ok for charting but not trading. I have an application that must run on either TS or MC, so I am told. If I go the MC path, what is the best and least expensive means to obtain it; I see costs all over the spectrum? Is MC Gold the next step in there development? Any insights you and the other members can share would be appreciated.

 

Regards, K y

you should start a new thread instead of hijacking this one.

 

TradeStation is good for charting AND trading.

 

MultiCharts is good. The price is right, the customer service is first rated.

    • Date: 21st February 2025.   European PMI Disappoint, Weighing on Euro Before German Elections   The Euro is the first currency to witness the volatility on this month’s PMI reports. The French, German and British PMI data have resulted in the Euro being the worst-performing currency of the European Session so far. However, will the Euro continue to decline throughout the day? European Purchasing Managers’ Indexes The French Purchasing Managers Index was the first European index to be made public. The release resulted in the Euro instantly declining 0.24%. The main concern from the French data was the Services PMI which fell from 48.2 to 44.5. Previously the market was expecting the data to remain more or less unchanged. The weak data triggered the decline which came to a halt after Germany’s PMI was released.     The German Manufacturing PMI read 0.5 points higher than previous expectations and the Services PMI was 0.2 points lower. The data from Germany was a relief for Euro investors and the price rose 0.12% higher. However, traders should note that the price of the EURUSD continues to remain 0.20% lower than yesterday’s close. The price of the EURUSD will now depend on the PMI data from the US. The value of the US Dollar will depend on its PMI release this afternoon and the Consumer Sentiment Index. Analysts expect both the US Services and Manufacturing PMI data to remain above the 50.00 level in the expansion zone. German Elections 2 Days Away Germany is set to hold a general election this Sunday, February 23rd, following the collapse of the coalition of social democrats, liberals, and greens. Given the country's highly proportional electoral system, German polls provide a strong indication of potential government formations post-election. The main concern for Germany is the AFD party who are Far-Right Nationalists. Currently, ahead in the polls are CDU (centre-right), and AFD (far right), followed by the SPD (centre-left). Traders should note that the results of the elections are likely to trigger strong volatility on Monday, but also influence volatility today. Economists may become further concerned if the far-right gains power for the first time due to uncertainty. If the government, similar to France, is unable to form a coalition, this would also be a concern for the Eurozone. Furthermore, the Euro this week is also under pressure from comments from members of the European Central Bank. ECB Governing Council member Fabio Panetta said to journalists that officials need not slow interest rate cuts, as January's 2.5% inflation is still expected to reach the 2.0% target this year. He also advised the European economy is weaker than previously expected. EURUSD - Technical Analysis and Indicators The EURUSD is trading above the 75-bar Exponential Moving Average and 100-bar Simple Moving Average on the 2-hour chart. However, the price is moving away from the key resistance level at 1.05058 indicating the price is losing momentum. The short-term volatility is indicating the price is retracing downwards. On the 5-minute timeframe, the price is trading below the 200-bar SMA and is also forming clear lower lows and highs. Simultaneously, the US Dollar Index is trading above the 200-bar SMA on the 5-minute chart confirming no current conflicts. Currently, the US Dollar is the best-performing currency of the day attempting to regain losses from the past 2 weeks. Watch today’s Live Analysis Session for more signals as they develop!   Key Takeaway Points: Weak French Services PMI triggered an initial Euro decline, but German PMI provide a slight relief. However, EURUSD remains lower than yesterday’s close. The Euro’s direction now depends on the US PMI reports, with analysts expecting US data to stay in expansion territory. Sunday's German election could drive volatility, especially if the far-right AFD gains power or if coalition formation proves difficult. ECB official Fabio Panetta suggested no need to slow rate cuts, citing weaker-than-expected economic performance and expected inflation decline. Always trade with strict risk management.
