VPCI As PaintBar

Recommended Posts

What I have below is what I had hoped to be the firs step in making VPCI into a PaintBar Study....it will verify, but just paints every bar.

 

The end result was supposed to be GREEN colored vbars for when VPCI is greater than Ave VPCI (or VPCI Smooth) AND greater than Zero.

 

RED when VPCI is less than VPCI Smooth AND less than zero.

 

WHITE or not painted when VPCI and its relation to zero are not in sync.

 

I am new as can be at this and am hoping someone can point me in the right direction.

 

Thank You.

 

 

 

inputs:

Price( Close ),

Length1( 5 ),

Length2( 20 ),

VPCIAvgLen( 20 ) ;

 

variables:

VolValue( 0 ),

VolumeSum1( 0 ),

VolumeSum2( 0 ),

VWMA1( 0 ),

VWMA2( 0 ),

VP( 0 ),

VPR( 0 ),

VM( 0 ),

VPCI( 0 ),

AvgVPCI( 0 ) ;

 

if BarType >= 2 then { not tick/minute data }

VolValue = Volume

else

VolValue = Ticks ;

 

VolumeSum1 = Summation( VolValue, Length1 ) ;

if VolumeSum1 > 0 then

VWMA1 = Summation( Price * VolValue , Length1 ) /

VolumeSum1 ;

 

VolumeSum2 = Summation( VolValue, Length2 ) ;

if VolumeSum2 > 0 then

VWMA2 = Summation( Price * VolValue , Length2 ) /

VolumeSum2 ;

 

VP = VWMA2 - Average( Price, Length2 ) ;

if Average( Low, Length1) > 0 then

VPR = VWMA1 / Average( Low, Length1 ) ;

if Average( VolValue, Length2 )> 0 then

VM = Average( VolValue, Length1 ) / Average( VolValue, Length2 ) ;

VPCI = VP * VPR * VM ;

AvgVPCI = Average( VPCI, VPCIAvgLen ) ;

 

 

 

If (VPCI > AvgVPCI) and (VPCI > 0)

Then PlotPaintBar (High, Low);

OK, so now the end looks like this:

 

If (VPCI > AvgVPCI) and (VPCI > 0)

Then PlotPaintBar (High, Low)

Else;

 

NoPlot( 1 ) ; { unpaint the bar }

 

 

It verifies but still nothing...I seem to get all of my attempts at a paintbar to either not paint at all OR paint everything all the time.

 

Thank you in advance for any wisdom you can lend me.

I would suggest you to start from STEP ONE:

 

go download this book:

 

"Getting Started with EasyLanguage"

this is the book you need if you're thinking about using EasyLanguage but don't know where to start.

 

Documentation

 

lots of useful examples for you to copy-and-paste.

OK. I took a look at what you wanted me to and have managed to get some paintbars working...now i am on to show me for vpci...it plots points (would really like an arrow at the cross above and below when above or below 0), but it is not doing the simple calculation at all. It cant seem to figure out when a pre-defined value is pos or neg and plot it.

 

I don't get it.

 

Here is where I'm at...seems simple enough but not working:

 

inputs:

Price( Close ),

Length1( 1 ),

Length2( 1 ),

VPCIAvgLen( 1 ) ;

 

variables:

VolValue( 0 ),

VolumeSum1( 0 ),

VolumeSum2( 0 ),

VWMA1( 0 ),

VWMA2( 0 ),

VP( 0 ),

VPR( 0 ),

VM( 0 ),

VPCI( 0 ),

AvgVPCI( 0 ) ;

 

if BarType >= 2 then { not tick/minute data }

VolValue = Volume

else

VolValue = Ticks ;

 

VolumeSum1 = Summation( VolValue, Length1 ) ;

if VolumeSum1 > 0 then

VWMA1 = Summation( Price * VolValue , Length1 ) /

VolumeSum1 ;

 

VolumeSum2 = Summation( VolValue, Length2 ) ;

if VolumeSum2 > 0 then

VWMA2 = Summation( Price * VolValue , Length2 ) /

VolumeSum2 ;

 

VP = VWMA2 - Average( Price, Length2 ) ;

if Average( Low, Length1) > 0 then

VPR = VWMA1 / Average( Low, Length1 ) ;

if Average( VolValue, Length2 )> 0 then

VM = Average( VolValue, Length1 ) / Average( VolValue, Length2 ) ;

VPCI = VP * VPR * VM ;

AvgVPCI = Average( VPCI, VPCIAvgLen ) ;

 

 

Condition1 = (VPCI is > avgVPCI) ;

 

{ OPTIONAL STEP: Replace CLOSE with your own formula for the price at which the marker

will be placed. Note that Value1 is a numeric variable, a temporary holding place

for the result of the numeric formula. }

 

Value1 = (low - .5);

 

{ Leave the following as is. The plot is not named because there is only one plot, and

the default name Plot1 will be adequate. The alert does not include a description

because the alerting criteria and the plotting criteria are the same, and the

description will be redundant. }

 

if Condition1 then

begin

Plot1 (value1) ;

Alert ;

end ;

you should wrap your code with the code tag.

it is the [b][size="4"]#[/size][/b] key at the top right of the message window

tagged code looks like this:

[code]
Input:
length(20);

Variables:
avg(0);

avg = average( close, length);

you are jumping ahead,

you haven't done these parts yet...

I’m actually not going to paint the bars based on VPCI….but I do want to eliminate the VPCI indicator from below my chart and simply replace it with a show me that gives me one arrow up or down based on the following info:

 

If VPCI > AvgVPCI (this is VPCI Smooth) and VPCI > 0 (the “zero” I am referring to is the one represented in the VPCI indicator, NOT on the chart of course) then plot the show me under the bar as an arrow pointing up…ONLY at the initial time that these are true not on every single bar that fits this criteria.

 

Same thing but pointing DOWN when VPCI < AvgVPCI and VPCI < 0.

 

This doesn’t seem like it should be so difficult to get to work….but I sure can’t do it.

 

:crap:

 

Any help is SO needed and appreciated fully.

I am now working with cross over...still not working correctly with my VPCI calculations.

 

See below:

 

Condition1 = (VPCI > avgVPCI) ;

Condition2 = (VPCI crosses over 0) ;

 

 

{ OPTIONAL STEP: Replace CLOSE with your own formula for the price at which the marker

will be placed. Note that Value1 is a numeric variable, a temporary holding place

for the result of the numeric formula. }

 

Value1 = (low - .5);

 

{ Leave the following as is. The plot is not named because there is only one plot, and

the default name Plot1 will be adequate. The alert does not include a description

because the alerting criteria and the plotting criteria are the same, and the

description will be redundant. }

 

if Condition1 and Condition2 then

begin

Plot1 (value1) ;

Alert ;

end;

 

This is in with the code above for VPCI

This is actually where I was stumped ignore last post:

 

Condition1 = (VPCI > 0) ;

Condition2 = (VPCI crosses over AvgVPCI) ;

Condition3 = (VPCI crosses over 0);

Condition4 = (VPCI > AvgVPCI);

 

{ OPTIONAL STEP: Replace CLOSE with your own formula for the price at which the marker

will be placed. Note that Value1 is a numeric variable, a temporary holding place

for the result of the numeric formula. }

 

Value1 = (low - .5);

 

{ Leave the following as is. The plot is not named because there is only one plot, and

the default name Plot1 will be adequate. The alert does not include a description

because the alerting criteria and the plotting criteria are the same, and the

description will be redundant. }

 

if Condition1 and Condition2 or Condition3 and Condition4 then

begin

Plot1 (value1) ;

Alert ;

end;

Hmmm, thx. I've been trying to find out more about the text_new function....but no good tutorials on how to add it correctly to your code. Do you know of any good references?

1. READ THE MANUAL and the REFERENCE

 

lots of sample code in there

 

 

2. Press [F1] in TS for HELP

 

 

 

3. You have NOT tried the search function of this site !!!!! (ask me how I knew.)

    • Back in the early 2000s, Netflix mailed DVDs to subscribers.   It wasn’t sexy—but it was smart. No late fees. No driving to Blockbuster.   People subscribed because they were lazy. Investors bought the stock because they realized everyone else is lazy too.   Those who saw the future in that red envelope? They could’ve caught a 10,000%+ move.   Another story…   Back in the mid-2000s, Amazon launched Prime.   It wasn’t flashy—but it was fast.   Free two-day shipping. No minimums. No hassle.   People subscribed because they were impatient. Investors bought the stock because they realized everyone hates waiting.   Those who saw the future in that speedy little yellow button? They could’ve caught another 10,000%+ move.   Finally…   Back in 2011, Bitcoin was trading under $10.   It wasn’t regulated—but it worked.   No bank. No middleman. Just wallet to wallet.   People used it to send money. Investors bought it because they saw the potential.   Those who saw something glimmering in that strange orange coin? They could’ve caught a 100,000%+ move.   The people who made those calls weren’t fortune tellers. They just noticed something simple before others did.   A better way. A quiet shift. A small edge. An asymmetric bet.   The red envelope fixed late fees. The yellow button fixed waiting. The orange coin gave billions a choice.   Of course, these types of gains are rare. And they happen only once in a blue moon. That’s exactly why it’s important to notice when the conditions start to look familiar.   Not after the move. Not once it's on CNBC.

    • What These Attacks Look Like There are several ways you could get hacked. And the threats compound by the day.   Here’s a quick rundown:   Phishing: Fake emails from your “bank.” Click the link, give your password—game over.   Ransomware: Malware that locks your files and demands crypto. Pay up, or it’s gone.   DDoS: Overwhelm a website with traffic until it crashes. Like 10,000 bots blocking the door. Often used by nations.   Man-in-the-Middle: Hackers intercept your messages on public WiFi and read or change them.   Social Engineering: Hackers pose as IT or drop infected USB drives labeled “Payroll.”   You don’t need to be “important” to be a target.   You just need to be online.   What You Can Do (Without Buying a Bunker) You don’t have to be tech-savvy.   You just need to stop being low-hanging fruit.   Here’s how:   Use a YubiKey (physical passkey device) or Authenticator app – Ditch text message 2FA. SIM swaps are real. Hackers often have people on the inside at telecom companies.   Use a password manager (with Yubikey) – One unique password per account. Stop using your dog’s name.   Update your devices – Those annoying updates patch real security holes. Use them.   Back up your files – If ransomware hits, you don’t want your important documents held hostage.   Avoid public WiFi for sensitive stuff – Or use a VPN.   Think before you click – Emails that feel “urgent” are often fake. Go to the websites manually for confirmation.   Consider Starlink in case the internet goes down – I think it’s time for me to make the leap. Don’t Panic. Prepare. (Then Invest.)   I spent an hour in that basement bar reading about cyberattacks—and watching real-world systems fall apart like dominos.   The internet going down used to be an inconvenience. Now, it’s a warning.   Cyberwar isn’t coming. It’s here.   And the next time your internet goes out, it might not just be your router.   Don’t panic. Prepare.   And maybe keep a backup plan in your back pocket. Like a local basement bar with good bourbon—and working WiFi.   As usual, we’re on the lookout for more opportunities in cybersecurity.
