I'm looking for a bit of assistance in trying to add an alert to the below code. Its a fast MA which changes colour when up or down. I'm trying to get the indicator to fire an alert when that colour change occurs. So far, all i've been able to get are constant alerts up or down, not the change in co...

Please provide any comments or feedback. //---------------------------------------------------- inputs: //---------------------------------------------------- RSILength(9), StochLength(18), KLength(6), DLength(3), OverSold(20), OverBought(80), Length(20), LeftStrength(3), RightStrength(3), Line.Colo...

Quantify it huh. I can show a visual of what i'm looking to accomplish it that helps to move the ball forward?

I found the attached divergence indicator on http://www.traderslaboratory.com and made a few modification to it. Notably substituting in stochrsi and getting the indicator to plot a divergence line on both the price chart and indicator for easier viewing. My question is, can anyone suggest a way to ...

Actually you're supposed to be able to trial it for 15 days first.

Its supposed to be a pattern recognition engine from the folks at professional software solutions. Based on inputs its supposed to plot swings similar to the gartley indicator but do in a much more efficient way. To use this indicator requires 2 additional indicators but all have the same exception ...

I imported a few indicators from TS and haven't had much success getting them to load. In fact I've been getting: Error in study {exception} floating-point invalid operation messages, can anyone offer any suggestions: Input: LeftStrength(10), RightStrength(2), PatternName("GartleyBull"), CheckPivotV...

Think i found what I was looking for, slightly different from yours TJ. Found on Traders Laboratory

Thanks TJ.

Do you or anyone happen to have this particular iteration of the indicator:

Does anyone have a working StochRSI indicator or code that they can share?

I've been looking with little success and the ones listed under knowledge base don't appear to be working for me.

Thx.

Is there a way to modify the Gartley indicator to use the same zig-zag feature as the pesavento pattern.

It looks like the Gartley indicator is based off swinghigh/low so it doesn't work as well as it could.

Welcome any ideas.

Never mind - got it. Thanks all.

TJ - thanks, got the function to load. What am I missing for the indicator?

Piotrek - thanks. I was able to find the same code but no luck in getting it to compile. Hopefully someone has a compiled version or can help with the code. When trying to compile, the follow errors appear: Commentary end is expected before end of file errLine 29, errColumn 33, errLineEnd 29, errCol...

Does anyone have this indicator to share? I'm currently using w/ MT and find it quite useful.

Thx

Has anyone been able to get the advisor account settings working with automated trading? If so, can someone paste a solution?

I went to the helpdesk but that's a dead end.

Can anyone assist, i'm trying to include the ability on this indicator to look back over a longer period of time, rather than the previous bar only. Ideally, I want to be able to set the lookback period anywhere from 1- 500 bars in order to ascertain the trend of the ADX based on the resolution of t...

think the problem was me using indicator rather than signal. it compiles now.

that would help:

------ Compiled with error(s): ------
syntax error, unexpected ';', expecting 'end of file'
errLine 104, errColumn 0, errLineEnd 104, errColumnEnd 0

Why isn't MC there as a vendor though? I tried to use the code below but it won't compile: inputs: TrailType ( 1 ), { enter 1 for modified version, any other number for unmodified version } ATR_Period( 5 ), ATR_Factor( 3.5 ), Quantity( 100 ), InitialMonth( 1 ), InitialDay( 1 ), InitialYear( 2009 ), ...

I noticed that the monthly Trader Tips section of S&C offers various codes based on trading strategy pieces written that month for a lot of charting programs including: TS, Esignal, Wealthlab, Metastock etc... is there a reason MC isn't up there as well? http://traders.com/Documentation/FEEDbk_docs/...

Andrew, your solution doesn't solve my problem. I want to fully automate my orders to interactive broker with the correct quantity. Right now the quantity is correct for all the other pairs except for the jpy. I want to route 100,000k or 1 standard lot of usd.jpy. Right now to get the strategy to wo...

I'm running an automated strategy where i've got built in entry and exit/reverse signals. I've also applied the built in strategy for "stop loss" to limit max drawdown in cases of rapid price movement. My question is, if my strategy takes me long/short and that position gets reversed by my strategy,...

With EUR.USD, GBP.USD i'm using 100k lots for my strategy, that works fine. When I try the same for USD.JPY, the 100k spits out numbers off the chart so i'm forced to use 100 as the quantity, not 100k. The ultimate problem is submitting automated order to IB with quantity of 100, rather than 100k I'...

Thanks for the update but that still doesn't affect the end result of the strategy back test. Currently it only works with quantity of 100.

Andrew,

I'm using Interactive Brokers

I tried using 1/100 or 1/1000, but i'm still experiencing the same problem.

Also, the min. movement won't accept anything less that 1.

Message " Min Movement - you must enter Min. Movement value between 1 & 1000000.

Anyone have the correct settings for the USD.JPY, i'm using: Price Scale: 1/100000 Daily Limit: 1 Min Movement: 1 Big Point Value: 1 I can't seem to get the correct setting for this pair or gbp/jpy or eur/jpy when running the back test. Basically looking to take a standard lot of 100k. Any assistanc...

I'm trying to run a portfolio back test on a basket of currencies; however when I run the report, it shows the currency with a size of 1, instead of 100k. When I run the portfolio back test on futures it works fine. Is it not possible to back test cash FX, or is there some setting that I need to twe...

Answered my question, while not ideal, there's an option in the backtesting section to default to broker entries. It works well enough for me to get the open positioned back under management with my automated exit strategy.

TJ - does the twsstart ensure that I never have to log out?

I just started running an automated strategy and the daily forced logoff of multicharts broke the connection.

Is there a way to re synch multicharts to IB and have my chart update to show my open position?
