Ma Extension

[pitrader 10]

This is for the code writers that like a challenge. I would like to use the following MA (code is below) for a range chart in TS. However range charts have no formal time stamp as to when the bar begins and ends. As a result the extention plots very erratically. Can somebody please show me the code that will allow me to get this working properly. It would be much appreciated..

 

Thanks

Inputs: Price( (high+low)/2), Length( 21), Displace( 0) ;

 

Variables: Avg( 0 ),

 

TL (-1);

 

Avg = AverageFC( Price, Length ) ;

 

 

If Displace >= 0 or CurrentBar > AbsValue( Displace ) then

 

 

 

 

Begin

 

Plot1[Displace]( Avg, "Avg" ) ;

 

Once TL=TL_New(Date,Time,0,Date,Time,0);

 

 

 

TL_SetEnd(TL,Date[Displace],Time[Displace],Plot1 [Displace] );

 

TL_SetBegin(TL,Date[Displace+1],Time[Displace+1],Plot1[Displace+1]);

 

TL_SetExtRight(TL,true) ;

 

 

 

TL_SetStyle(TL, tool_solid);

 

TL_SetColor(TL, green);

 

end;

you can only do it in MultiCharts.

 

MultiCharts can perform analysis down to the seconds level,

while TradeStation can only do minutes. (for now)

 

 

ps. there is no need to start a new thread on this. You should just append the question to your previous thread of the same subject.

I am aware that MC has the capability to plot to the second unfortunately I am still using TS. I was told by a EL engineer that there is a way to have this type of indicator work within TS but it takes some pretty tricky programing. Does anybody out there have any experience coding something like this?

I gave it some more thought...

yes, actually it can be done.

Not only that, I found 3 methods that can achieve the above in TS.

The first method is the classical way, it uses DLL, and requires some serious programming.

This is a logical method; this is what most programmers would think in terms of problem solving. So probably this is what the TS EL engineer was referring to.

The second method uses a trick to get the begin/end points to move forward or backward by 1 or more bars. I have not tested it out yet, this is only a concept.

The third method will require some math... I mean lots of math calculations.

but it can be done.

So do you think that you will give the second method a shot for posterity? Think of all the brownie points you'll get!!

This trendline indicator was posted on TS support a few years ago.

probably in EL Library
