Thanks for your response. OK that makes sense from how TWS responds to requests. Though that is awfully whacky that VIX data is not readily available, especially when you consider that even the most basic free charting software out there allow such access. Presumably, one should be able to download ...

Has anyone had any luck download the CBOE Volatility Index data from TWS? If so, would you please share the method and symbol that works? I've tried the obvious tickers like VIX and $VIX, but I don't get a positive response from the TWS. All VIX ETFs and ETNs that I have seen don't precisely track t...

Virginiatrader, Thanks so much for taking the time to explain this process to me. In your last statement you say, "The MC Power Language syntax is "close of dataN"...N being the specific data stream, .e.g. 1, 2, etc." Does the "close of dataN" actually refer to closing prices on the bars of that tim...

Virginiatrader, Thanks for that explanation. I'll give that a try. Is there a particular format for referencing "Data2" in the actual code that runs my signals? This is where I am unclear on this approach. I'll look at your attachment again to see if I can make sense of this aspect. Thanks again, Ca...

virginiatrader,

In your response, were using a similar format to using data1/data2 to accommodate multiple time frames? If so, would you please explain or show an example of how this is done in MC?

Thanks much,
Carey

Hello, In response to your statement: "Instead of using HighD(1) in an intraday chart, you should add a daily chart as data2 and apply average to the high of data2." Would you please explain what you mean, and how this may be done on MC? A brief example would be super helpful. It seems like MC would...

Hi, I've read discussions on calculating average daily range for ## number of days using the "average" function as follows for the last 10, 20, etc. days: Average(HighD(1), 30) - Average(LowD(1), 30) As it turns out, when I print the ouput of the above code, I just get yesterday's daily range, NOT t...

Hi, I've read your discussion on calculating average daily range and have tried getting using the "average" function as follows for the last 10, 20, etc. days: Average(HighD(1), 30) - Average(LowD(1), 30) As it turns out, when I print the ouput of the above code, I just get yesterday's daily range, ...
