Hello Buylosellhi, I can provide you with what is required for MC in this case: MC authorization: server: mcauth.com port: https CQG: ip: 208.48.16.137 ports: 8012 and 8011 You will also need to contact CQG to find out identical information for their CQG API software. Is this still the correct conf...

Hi, I have created a file that plots a horizontal line from price data in an Excel csv file. Everything works fine but I would like to know if there is a better way to code the plot portion of the code to just plot everything. Right now, if I have 10 rows of data in my Excel file, I would need 10 pl...

So here is what I have figured out so far but it's still not 100% perfect. This only deletes the earliest arrow plotted. Can anyone please help? Inputs: Mins_Add(60), iSquare(2), TL_Colour(green), Txt_Colour(green), Arrow_Size(8); [ProcessMouseEvents = true]; [RecoverDrawings = false]; switch (getap...

Hi, I have written a code that is almost doing what I want. The only thing I would like to do but can't figure out, is to remove all previously drawn arrows, 2 of them, when I click on a new bar, while drawing the first new arrow. Right now, all old arrows remain on the chart. I tried with Arw_Delet...

My issue was that I wanted to get a bar speed with a resolution in seconds. The TimeToMinutes only gave minute resolution as does the Time reserved word. I needed to get both of those to seconds resolution. TimeToSeconds obviously does that but then I needed to change the Time to Time_s which is sec...

Thanks for your help. I figured it out. This gives me want I want. // Tick Speedo // // This indicator measures the time it takes to complete a tick or volume bar // a Short bar denotes an active market. // when the market is slow, it will take a long time to complete the bar. // a cap is used to li...

This is the code I started with: // Tick Speedo // // This indicator measures the time it takes to complete a tick or volume bar // a Short bar denotes an active market. // when the market is slow, it will take a long time to complete the bar. // a cap is used to limit the height of the histogram du...

The code as it came from EliteTrader did not work for me. TimeToMinutes or TimeToSeconds did not plot correctly for me that's why I came here asking for help.

olobay

From the EliteTrader forum. Why does it matter where it came from? I have a full lifetime licence for MultiCharts and I came to this forum for help.

This is what I have so far but it's not working when the minute changes and the current bar has a seconds value that is lower than the previous [1] bar, even if the minute value is greater. input: cap(15), cap.color(darkgray); if BarType = 0 then begin if date = date[1] then begin value1 = (time_s ...

Hi,

I'm looking for an indicator that would plot in a histogram, the length of time that the current tick bar took to complete. Does anyone have something like that to share or can someone share a link?

Thanks.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Hi, I have 2 problems with the code below. 1. The code is referencing yesterday's opening range and not today's. What do I need to change to get it to reference today's opening range between the StartCalcTime and EndCal...

TodayOnly if true plots only lines for today. If false then plots lines for all days in the chart. Right now it is executing 3 times per TL being drawn, 12 in total: twice to delete previous days TLs and Text objects and once to assign a condition to plot today's TLs and Text objects. If Date <> Dat...

olobay

The only difference I can see between my code and the one in the link in post #2 is in the conditional statements. I can't see where I am creating the TL and Text more than once. The drawing of the TL and Text seem to me, to be the same between both studies. Am I on the right track? The only differe...

olobay

I have changed all of my TL and Text codes to the following, of course incrementing the value number, but I still get doubled text. //Draw A Up Line If TodayOnly and LineId3 <> -1 and LineId3 <> ID3 Then TL_Delete(LineId3); If TodayOnly and LineId3 <> -1 and LineId3 <> ID3 Then Text_Delete(LineId3);...

olobay

If it needs to be placed in a conditional statement I already said that what I want is that once Time equals my StartTime then start drawing the TL and Text but just keep extending it as Time continues but I have no idea how to code that.

olobay

I have read it. I know you are trying to teach me and I do appreciate it but there comes a time when a student is just not getting it, that maybe a teacher should explain what is not working in the code and why. Maybe you have done that, but obviously I am not getting it.

olobay

Does it have to be a Value1 or can it be a variable that I declared like ID13?

Well I tried both and they both still print 2 text objects and 2 TL.

olobay

I already asked you a question regarding this in Post #13 but you never replied. Should I assign a value to it? If so, does it have to be an unused value like ID13 or do I assign it ID1 because it's part of that section? Have you read the chapter (actually it is a paragraph) in post #5? If you have...

olobay

I did the following but it is still printing 2 texts and 2 trendlines for the OR High line. // Draw the OR High line If TodayOnly and LineId1 <> -1 and LineId1 <> ID1 Then TL_Delete(LineId1); //this deletes all trendlines except for today's trendline if the indicator is only plotting today If TodayO...

olobay

I commented everything until the first TL and Text section because after that, everything just repeats itself with only the ID numebrs changing. If Date <> Date[1] Then Begin // Initialize vars at max of ranges If today's date is not yesterday then begin HighDay = 0; //sets a value for the Highday L...

olobay

Where did this ID1 come from ??? It came from this part of the code, the first TL. //using ID1, starts a TL from D/starttime/highday price to D/currentbar time/highday price ID1 = TL_New(Date, StartTime, HighDay, Date, Time, HighDay); Sorry about not putting a space. I really appreciate the help.

olobay

The bold did not show up so this is the part I meant:

TL_SetStyle(ID1, IB_Style);
TL_SetSize(ID1, IB_LineSize);
Text_New(Date, Time + Text_Offset, HighDay, "OR High");
Text_SetStyle(ID1, 0, 1);

olobay

I started commenting the code and when I got here I thought this might be wrong: // Draw the OR High line If TodayOnly and LineId1 <> -1 and LineId1 <> ID1 Then TL_Delete(LineId1); //this deletes all trendlines except for today's trendline if the indicator is only plotting today If TodayOnly and Lin...

olobay

I'm watching the indicator update realtime and it is drawing 2 trendlines and 2 text objects.

olobay

Do I need to go back and assign a value to the TL and Text objects like in the following: // Draw the OR Low Line If TodayOnly and LineId2 <> -1 and LineId2 <> ID2 Then TL_Delete(LineId2); If TodayOnly and LineId2 <> -1 and LineId2 <> ID2 Then Text_Delete(LineId2); If TodayOnly Then LineId2 = Id2; I...

olobay

Thanks for the help TJ. I understand I need a conditional statement so that my trendline and text is only created once but I can't even think in English what type of statement I need. I suppose what I want is that once Time equals my StartTime then start drawing the TL and Text but just keep extendi...

olobay

Thanks for the links. I didn't that documentation existed. I've applied the Text_SetLocation to my code but it still prints twice. I checked the format drawings and I also see that each trendline is being printed twice. Will it keep printing a trendline and text every time a bar is completed? If so,...

olobay

Thanks for the encouragement but all I did was find some code and then modify it to suit my needs. I understand what the code in the link is doing but it seems to be doing the same thing as my code. He sets a trend line and then sets text and plots the style and location. I can't really see where hi...

I don't understand why I am getting doubled text like in the attachment. Code is posted below. Inputs: StartTime(0830), EndTime(915), yHigh(93.09), yLow(90.96), yClose(92.96), yHighLow_Color(darkgray), yHighLow_Style(3), yHighLow_LineSize(2), yClose_Color(darkred), yCLose_Style(3), yClose_LineSize(2...

olobay

Ok I see what the issue was. For some reason, even though I had changed the inputs in the code in PLE, it did not change it in the indicator that was on my chart. Now it is working great. I really do appreciate the help and I apologize for being slow. I am a total noob when it comes to Easylanguage.

olobay

My instrument setting is Build Volume On Trade Volume.

olobay

Thanks for all the help. So I am using bar type 1 so I should change my code to inputs: Criteria( Ticks >= 2000 ) , AlertCondition( true ) ; if Criteria then begin PlotPaintBar( High, Low, "CustomPB" ) ; Alert ; end else NoPlot( 1 ) ; if AlertCondition then Alert ; I tried this but it does not achie...

olobay

Code: Select all
if BarType >= 1 and BarType < 5 then Plot1( Volume, "Volume" ) else Plot1( Ticks, "Volume" ) ;

I tried this but it put my volume indicator in exponents or something. I don't understand what it did.

olobay

Ok I am using bar type 1. Does that mean I have to change the volume indicator to

Code: Select all

if BarType >= 1 and BarType < 5 then                             

   Plot1( Volume, "Volume" )

else                        

   Plot1( Ticks, "Volume" ) ;

olobay

I want total volume on current bar so I should replace Volume with Ticks in my Criteria?

olobay

Have you checked the bartype you are using?

I am using OHLC 1 minute bars. I don't know where to see what value that type of bar is.

olobay

It's the default Volume study in MC.

Code: Select all

if BarType >= 2 and BarType < 5 then                             

	Plot1( Volume, "Volume" )

else                        

	Plot1( Ticks, "Volume" ) ;

olobay

Still does not help me as I have no understanding of what to do next. Volume Returns the volume of the current bar. For tick and volume-based charts, and time-based charts with resolutions of 24 hours or less: - the volume traded on Up ticks will be returned if Build Volume On is set to Trade Volume...

olobay

Sorry. What I am trying to achieve is for a bar to be painted and a sound alert to go off, every time volume trades above 2000 contracts on a 1 minute chart but the chart resolution does not really matter. I do not understand what the indicator is doing as it coded right now.

olobay

You have to be more specific.
What do you mean by: "not working well"?

I attached a chart to show what the indicator is doing. It paints bars that do not meet the criteria.

olobay

Hi, I modified the custom 1 line study but it's not working well. I just want to paint a bar and have an audio alert every time volume is greater than 2000 contracts on a 1 min chart. Here's the code which compiles well and a picture of the result. Help is greatly appreciated. inputs: Criteria( Volu...

Hi, I am hoping that somebody will be able to help me. I would like to add a range around the Pivot in the code below. The math for that range is (yesterday's high + yesterday's low) /2. Then you subtract that from the pivot value (high+low+close)/3 and it gives you a value. Then you add that value ...

I was wondering if anybody had an indicator that plotted the high of a certain range of time intraday as well as the low. This indicator would plot 2 horizontal lines, one at the high the other at the low from the price action between 9:30am-10:00am. Does anybody have anything like this indicator? I...
