Median in Easylanguage

Recommended Posts

Was trying to find an easy way to find the median of a given set of numbers. I've searched the pdf files that are available and the only thing remotely close was related to activity bars, so that didnt really help.:confused:

 

anyone got an ideas?

ok, i guess its just median( )

duh

 

Then I guess what I don't understand is how to get the median of a set of numbers I have.

 

If anyone reads Dr.Steenbarger's blog he showed what he uses for price projections, and I was trying to code something up. I have five variables and I need to take the median of those 5.

There is some good background here Selection algorithm - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.

 

Are you actually talking about price data arriving in real time? That's a wee bit tricky. Trouble with EL is that it's not great for more complex data structures. You could probably sort data into an array as it arrived. Whilst not difficult a bit fiddly.

 

Median is the mid price in a sorted set of numbers right? (not the mid price).

you have to use the medianarray

 

first, create an array,

then put the 5 numbers in the array,

then use medianarray to interrogate the array for the median.

Ok, I gave this my best shot. I have never used arrays, so this is fun:crap:

 

I searched through TL and some other pdf's.

 

Here is what I got so far:

 

Array:
MyArray[5](0);
ArrayElement[1]=((yesthi-yestlo)/yestop)*100;
ArrayElement[2]=((H2-L2)/O2)*100;
ArrayElement[3]=((H3-L3)/O3)*100;
ArrayElement[4]=((H4-L4)/O4)*100;
ArrayElement[5]=((H5-L5)/O5)*100;

V=MedianArray(myArray,5);

 

 

I have everything defined, and it plots correctly. The error I got is "Index was outsite the bounds of the array"

 

Googled that, and I thought I fixed it but not so much. Probably missing something easy...

Array:
MyArray[6](0);

MyArray[1] = ((yesthi-yestlo)/yestop)*100;
MyArray[2] = ((H2-L2)/O2)*100;
MyArray[3] = ((H3-L3)/O3)*100;
MyArray[4] = ((H4-L4)/O4)*100;
MyArray[5] = ((H5-L5)/O5)*100;

Value1 = MedianArray(myArray,6);

 

 

array numbering starts with zero,

but medianarray referencing begins with array element 1.

therefore you need an array of 6 to handle 5 numbers.

This would certainly work but grows exponentially slower as the set of data increases. (It calls SortArray which is a bubble sort and fairly highly iterative). Not a problem if you are looking at (for example) the close of 5 minute bars (small data set) but possibly an issue if you are using say tick data (a large data set).

 

Just offering this for consideration :).

    • Date: 22nd November 2024.   BTC flirts with $100K, Stocks higher, Eurozone PMI signals recession risk.   Asia & European Sessions:   Geopolitical risks are back in the spotlight on fears of escalation in the Ukraine-Russia after Russia reportedly used a new ICBM to retaliate against Ukraine’s use of US and UK made missiles to attack inside Russia. The markets continue to assess the election results as President-elect Trump fills in his cabinet choices, with the key Treasury Secretary spot still open. The Fed’s rate path continues to be debated with a -25 bp December cut seen as 50-50. Earnings season is coming to an end after mixed reports, though AI remains a major driver. Profit taking and rebalancing into year-end are adding to gyrations too. Wall Street rallied, led by the Dow’s 1.06% broadbased pop. The S&P500 advanced 0.53% and the NASDAQ inched up 0.03%. Asian stocks rose after  Nvidia’s rally. Nikkei added 1% to 38,415.32 after the Tokyo inflation data slowed to 2.3% in October from 2.5% in the prior month, reaching its lowest level since January. The rally was also supported by chip-related stocks tracked Nvidia. Overnight-indexed swaps indicate that it’s certain the Reserve Bank of New Zealand will cut its policy rate by 50 basis points on Nov. 27, with a 22% chance of a 75 basis points reduction. European stocks futures climbed even though German Q3 GDP growth revised down to 0.1% q/q from the 0.2% q/q reported initially. Cryptocurrency market has gained approximately $1 trillion since Trump’s victory in the Nov. 5 election. Recent announcement for the SEC boosted cryptos. Chair Gary Gensler will step down on January 20, the day Trump is set to be inaugurated. Gensler has pushed for more protections for crypto investors. MicroStrategy Inc.’s plans to accelerate purchases of the token, and the debut of options on US Bitcoin ETFs also support this rally. Trump’s transition team has begun discussions on the possibility of creating a new White House position focused on digital asset policy.     Financial Markets Performance: The US Dollar recovered overnight and closed at 107.00. Bitcoin currently at 99,300,  flirting with a run toward the 100,000 level. The EURUSD drifts below 1.05, the GBPUSD dips to June’s bottom at 1.2570, while USDJPY rebounded to 154.94. The AUDNZD spiked to 2-year highs amid speculation the RBNZ will cut the official cash rate by more than 50 bps next week. Oil surged 2.12% to $70.46. Gold spiked to 2,697 after escalation alerts between Russia and Ukraine. Heightened geopolitical tensions drove investors toward safe-haven assets. Gold has surged by 30% this year. Haven demand balanced out the pressure from a strong USD following mixed US labor data. Silver rose 0.9% to 31.38, while palladium increased by 0.9% to 1,040.85 per ounce. Platinum remained unchanged. Always trade with strict risk management.
