Convert Mt4 to Tradstation

[arbitragetrader 10]

Hello,

I was wondering if someone could help me convert an mt4 language into tradestation language. I have looked online for the ts code but cannot find it so any help would be greatly appreciated. It is called the zerolagstochvbob indicator...

Thanks in advance,

Hello,

Thanks for the indicator. I just had a question that you or someone might be able to answer. Attached is a chart of tradestation with the zero lag indicator and MT4 with the zero lag. As you can see there is quite a difference between the two. Do you know why this is?

Thanks,

Metatrader is unsupported so I had no way of knowing what formula they use for stochastics. This one looks like it. Any differences could be data differences - will be different for each broker (forex).

 

input: 
smoothing(15);

vars:
stok1(0),
stok2(0),  
stok3(0),  
stok4(0), 
stok5(0),  
mov(0),  
stoksmoothed(0);  

stok1 = SlowDCustom(H, L, C, 8) * 0.05;
stok2 = SlowDCustom(H, L, C, 89) * 0.43;
stok3 = SlowDCustom(H, L, C, 55) * 0.26;
stok4 = SlowDCustom(H, L, C, 34) * 0.16;
stok5 = SlowDCustom(H, L, C, 21) * 0.10;
mov = stok1 + stok2 + stok3 + stok4 + stok5;
stoksmoothed = mov / smoothing + stoksmoothed[1] * (smoothing - 1) / smoothing;

plot1(mov);
plot2(stoksmoothed);
