Problem with 'Format Instruments'

I have noticed what may be a bug when I right click my chart and select 'format instruments'. I don't remember if this happened previously or not. Generally, when I format the instrument a dialog box pops up listing the various instruments I have added and I can select one. When I need to change a F...

Heikin Ashi and close prices

I realized that when I have Heikin Ashi candles turned on, the OHLC prices in the data box are that of the HA candle, not the actual price. I thought I should be able to output the original price from a script. I created an indicator to plot 'Close[0]', but when I ran the indicator, the output of th...

Re: price levels/trend lines don't move with chart

I have tested this scenario: Applied the Horizontal Line drawing to the chart. The price level of the line is 1,380.00. While the drawing is still selected i moved it up and down by the arrow buttons. The line and the chart were moving respectively. The line stays at 1,380.00 price level. Did i do ...

Re: price levels/trend lines don't move with chart

I may have figured out this problem and it may be a bug. Right now it seems that if I draw a price level, and while it is selected and hit the up or down arrow to scroll the chart up and down, then then chart scrolls but all the price lines stay in the same place on the screen. After I start scrolli...

Re: price levels/trend lines don't move with chart

Hello whitefox,

Are the drawings plotted by an indicator?
No, these are just Support/Resistance lines I drew manually

Re: price levels/trend lines don't move with chart

Try to mouse right click on the price scale and see which price is selected.
The instrument price is selected, same as it usually is.

price levels/trend lines don't move with chart

Today I have some price level lines and trend lines that don't move when I move the chart up and down. I had a similar problem with some indicators which was solved by changing the scaling to 'same as instrument', but I can't do that with price levels.

???

Re: Hourly OHLC data

If you were using hourly bars, you could do something like this: Input: SessionEnd(1700); Vars: DayHigh(0), DayLow(0); If H > DayHigh Then DayHigh = H; If L < DayLow Then DayLow = L; If Time = SessionEnd Then Begin // Insert pivot calculations here // Then reset day High and day low - either to cur...

Re: Hourly OHLC data

I think it's possible but I'm having difficulty understanding the specific application. Can you outline specifically what you want to be able to do? I'm writing a pivot point indicator. For trading currencies I want the user to be able to specify the hour on which the day is considered to be 'close...

Hourly OHLC data

Is it possibly to get OHLC intraday data? At the moment I'm particularly interested in getting hourly data. I see there is an OHLCPeriodsAgo function but that seems to only work for daily data and above. I have not found a function that allows me to just pull intraday close data for a given instrume...

Can Drawings appear on more than 1 chart? [SOLVED]

Is it possible to have Drawings on one chart appear on another? Basically, I'm marking up support and resistance on one chart and would like it to appear on other charts in the same workspace and instrument. I thought perhaps this would work if i linked the charts but it doesn't seem to.

thanks

2 problems with indicators [SOLVED]

1. Multiple indicators seem to have problems when I displace them into the future. For instance, with both a SMA(3) and EMA(3), if I displace the average forward, with a value of say -4, I get "Message: Error in study "Mov Avg Exponetial": : Trying access at data to future.

partial backfilling of missing data [SOLVED]

I'm trading EURUSD on tick charts through IB. I put my computer to sleep during the night with MC still open. When I wake my computer up in the morning, MC will print one huge bar covering the period from when it stopped collecting data the previous day and where it started collecting data when the ...

style templates and measuring two points [SOLVED]

I've been using MC for a couple months and I have 2 things I have not been able to figure out. 1. Is there anyway to save 'style' templates? I know how to save study templates, but I also have a couple different types of charts with certain style combinations that I want to use over and over. I know...
