Help on Coding in Multicharts

Recommended Posts

I am trying to develop an indicator that will show a trend line from LL to HH and from HH to LL.

 

My coding is as follows:-

 

inputs:

LeftStrength( 5) ,

RightStrength( 2 ),

LookBackLength( 100 ),

line.color(White);

 

variable:

 

id.tl(-1),

HighValue1(0),

HighValue2(0),

LowValue1(0),

LowValue2(0),

Var1(0), Var2(0), Var3(0), Var4(0), Var5(0), Var6(0),

Var7(0), Var8(0), Var9(0), var10(0), var11(0), var12(0),

oPivotPrice1(0), oPivotBar1(0),oPivotPrice2(0), oPivotBar2(0);

 

// to find the HH

if PivotHighVSBar( 1, High, LeftStrength, RightStrength, RightStrength + 1 ) <> -1 then

begin

HighValue1 = PivotHighVS(1, High, Leftstrength, RightStrength, LookBackLength );

HighValue2 = PivotHighVS(2, High, Leftstrength, RightStrength, LookBackLength );

 

if HighValue2 <> -1 and HighValue1 > HighValue2 then

begin

Var1 = Date[RightStrength];

Var2 = Time[RightStrength];

Var3 = High[RightStrength];

end;

end ;

 

// to find LL

if PivotLowVSBar( 1, Low, LeftStrength, RightStrength, RightStrength + 1 ) <> -1 then

begin

LowValue1 = PivotLowVS(1, Low, Leftstrength, RightStrength, LookBackLength );

LowValue2 = PivotLowVS(2, Low, Leftstrength, RightStrength, LookBackLength );

 

if LowValue2 <> -1 and LowValue1 < LowValue2 then

begin

Var4 = Date[RightStrength];

Var5 = Time[RightStrength];

Var6 = Low[RightStrength];

 

end;

end ;

 

id.tl = Tl_new(var1, var2, var3, var4, var5, var6);

TL_setcolor(id.tl, line.color);

 

The result of the above code is that it draws a trend line between each HH and LL (as shown in the attached JPG).

 

However, the indicator that I want is to draw a trend line between the latest LL and HH. I tried to find a way to do it but due to my limited programming knowledge my effort is in vain.

 

If I am not clear, please let me know.

 

Thanks everyone in advance.

Thanks everyone in advance.

 

if you are using tick bars (ie sub-minute bars),

you can only draw trendlines with MultiCharts.

Tradestation cannot do sub-minute analysis.

 

 

ps. when posting codes, please use the code tag. It is the code.gif key at the top of the message frame.

Thank you, OneSmith. I attached the result of the your code.

 

There are some lines which did not connect from the previous HH or LL. I will try to find the code myself and ask for help again if required.

 

Really appreciate your help.

 

input: stren(5), rStren(2);
var: hd(0), ht(0), hp(0), ld(0), lt(0), lp(0), hid(0), lid(0), HH(0), LL(0);

if PivotHighVS(1,H,stren,rStren,rStren+1)>0 then begin
   hd=d[rStren];  ht=t[rStren];  hP=H[rStren];
   if hp>hp[1] then begin
       HH=1;
       if HH[1]=0 then hid=tl_new(ld,lt,lp,hd,ht,hp) else tl_setend(hid,hd,ht,hp);
   end else HH=0;
end else if PivotLowVS(1,L,stren,rStren,rStren+1)>0 then begin
   ld=d[rStren];  lt=t[rStren];  lp=L[rStren];
   if lp<lp[1] then begin
       LL=1;
       if LL[1]=0 then lid=tl_new(hd,ht,hp,ld,lt,lp) else tl_setend(lid,ld,lt,lp);
   end else LL=0;
end;

Thanks Tams. I am using Multicharts. And thanks for the ps. I will use the code tag next time. :crap:

Thanks OneSmith. The code is amazing!

 

I cracked my head for the last two days and still was not able to find one. Now looking at your code, I don't think I can get it by myself!

 

Thanks again.

Reading from the top down, after the declarations.

 

once begin ...is a kludge that creates 2 TL's using hid and lid (TL id's) to prevent an exception error later if the gate logic diverts to a tl_setend command before there's any TL's created.

 

Upon finding a pivot high it stores it's price in lastHP (last high price). Although that's the last thing it does within that PivotHighVS gate. Prior to that it checks if that H exceeded lastHP and if it did then it stores date, time and price in hd ht hp .. but only if that H also satisfied a requirement that it exceeds the currentHH.

 

CurrentHH was reset to zero in the pivot Low gate further below which is a near_mirror image of the pivot H gate. This means future comparisions of any pivot H that satisfies the HH requirement will also satisfy the H greater than currentHH requirement, thus making every case of a new HH trigger a direction change. Dir change draws a new TL else if dir change is false the current pivot H only relocates that TL's end point.

 

CurrentHH also serves to prevent an exception that was causing the selection of the wrong d t p when a HH (higher swingH) event occurred *below* the current HH. In theory this can't happen but in practice it does because a swift drop in price without the countour to satisfy both a swingL and then a lower swingL .. ie a LL ... it was possible for price to begin rising again and store a new price for lastHP and upon another swingH trigger a HH event. .. and that HH could be *below* the current HH of the current uptrend .. because the down swing didn't have the required countour to satisfy a direction change.

    • Question: To those that had/have cancer, what were the signs that made you think “something is not right here” to make you go see a doctor? Answer: So, 5/25/2018, I woke up, got ready for work, and as I walked to my car, I started gagging. Like something was stuck in my throat and I needed to clear it. And then it went away.   But 10 minutes after that, I was T-boned at 40mph on the driver side door. But what made me see a doctor was while my muscles felt better and bruises were going away, the gagging still continued, I started having fevers, my neck felt swollen, I was having such a hard time breathing, and I'd have random sharp pains in my chest, but not from where the seat belt saved me.   2 weeks after the accident, I finally see an urgent care doctor, who looks me over, tells me I'm fine, but luckily requests a neck X-ray. And I ask for a chest X-ray, which he rolls his eyes but let me have (most of my pain was in the neck, so I understand).   The very next day, he calls and says “So, that chest X-ray shows there's a 4 inch mass on your heart and lungs, and your lungs have been filling up with fluid, as well as in your pericardial (heart) wall. We need you to come in tomorrow.”   Turns out the big mass, due to the accident, caused my heart and lungs to tear and fill with fluid, the swollen neck and gagging was caused by 2 metastasized tumors, and the fevers and weight loss were symptoms. Stage 4b Hodgkin's Lymphoma.   But thankfully, we went very aggressive with chemo (and had a lot of bad side effects that don't normally happen to patients), and now I'm about 16 months cancer-free. Yay lucky X-rays!
