I am grateful for your reply TJ.
I'll add a condition as suggested ... now that I have a better understanding of Trendline vs. Plot.

Thank You.

Adding this trendline indicator slows down MC. Any ideas on correcting this? Appreciate any feedback. Thank You. Input: L1(4800), StartDate(1220104), StartTime(900), EndTime(1600); Value1 = tl_new(Startdate,StartTime,L1,StartDate,EndTime,L1); tl_setstyle(Value1,1); tl_setcolor(Value1,red); Value6 = ...

Thank you Anna ... I will have a look when I get the chance.

brunor

I'm grateful for your help.
I'll have to spend a little time working on it.

Hi TJ. Nothing plots with this code on a default session for SP500 emini ... I added "TL.Price" as a variable. No plot with custom session template either ... custom template begins at 9:30am and ends at 16:15. Appreciate your help. Input: LineStyle(3), LineSize(0.5), LineColor(rgb(90,90,90)); var: ...

brunor

Figured out a simple solution: 1) insert Data 1 as symbol with default session 2) insert Data 2 (same symbol as Data 1) as symbol with custom session template ... use invisible bars as the style setting 3) format the indicator to base study on Data 2 The horizontal trend line will be plotted onto yo...

I found this code online years ago to plot a price line ... works very well. I have modified it slightly to plot a horizontal trend line for the current session but can't define the current session. I would like the horizontal trend line to consider prices starting at 9:30am for the current session....

brunor

Thank you all for your assistance. As all of you indicated, it was a simple matter of increasing the chart shift.
And thanks to CrazyNasdaq for the enhanced code ... I will use it.

Appreciate the response TJ. I would like to plot the indicator ahead of the current bar. Altering the inputs changes the calculations.
Is it possible to offset the entire plot forward as seen in this image.
Thank You.

Thank you very much TJ. Worked perfectly.

This indicator does not update intrabar. The value for the indicator is held until the bar is closed, and the value changes only on the next bar. I would appreciate any hints to enable relatime updates. Var: IndicatorTotal(0); IndicatorTotal = (Value19+Value20+Value21+Value22); //-------------------...

Hi Josh. Your suggestion worked perfectly. I used "myText" and didn't require the use of "Plot1". I also removed "recalcpersist" from the variable vRSI(0) ... this was preventing the variable from updating. I am very grateful for your assistance. Here is the final code: Inputs: LeftPosition (0.1), T...

Hi Josh. The text box plot is always "0" ... regardless of conditions.

Hi TJ ... Appreciate your help. Here is the code used to plot a calculated value (code was posted by another member of this forum and works perfectly, but was modified to display ATR): Inputs: LeftPosition (0.1), TopPOsition(0.95), IndRange(14); Vars: recalcpersist vValue1(0), recalcpersist vMostLef...

I use "NumToStr(vRSI2,2)" as part of the code for a floating text box (on chart) to display a calculated value. Is it possible to display text such as "BUY" in a floating text box if conditions are met?
Appreciate any feedback.

I noticed nothing under trade settings that cause M/C to delete a stop loss from the broker's server if the connection is interrupted. Besides, the problem was acknowledged 4 months ago and is supposed to be corrected in version 9.1. Do your stop loss orders remain on the broker's server after exiti...

brunor

M/C 9.0 (and older versions) deletes/cancels stop loss orders for an active position if the connection with the broker is lost. I have experienced this with AvaTrade and CQG. If your PC freezes, or your internet connection is interrupted, or you simply exit M/C with an active position, your STOP LOS...

Worked out perfectly.
Thanks Orion.

I am trying to calculate the number of bars since the last x-bar high occured using:

Code: Select all

I have looked at a few functions (Barnumber, Date, etc) but would appreciate
a hint on how to approach this.

Thank You.

Open E Cry offers options trading for e-mini.

Thanks Henry.

Do any of the Multicharts-compatible brokers (other than Interactive Brokers) offer trading of e-mini options?

Thanks.

Problem was resolved by MC support with an update.
Thank you.

I use MC9 (beta 2) and switched over to AMP / CQG a few days ago. Charts seem to update normally during pre-market, but lag at exactly 9:30am EST (market open) and updates remain sluggish unless I restart MC (sometimes multiple restarts). The DOM, Time and sales, and Scanner windows all update corre...

Once an entry order is executed within M/C (versions 8 and 9) the STOP Loss and Profit orders appear on their server, but are deleted (disappear) if the connection between M/C and Avatrade is lost. Which of the recommended brokers retains a STOP loss order on their server if Multicharts disconnects ...

Are there any plans to integrate RTD Server with MC64 in a Windows 8.1 environment?

Is it possible to link MC8.8 with excel and plot excel data as a chart indicator?
Could I use Universal DDE for this?
Appreciate any feedback.

This indicator paints a bar if it is the highest high or lowest low of the last 20 bars. Is there a more efficient method of coding conditions 1 and 2? And how would you paint only the current bar and reset previous bars to standard colors? I would appreciate any assistance. Thanks. Bruno Condition1...

brunor

How would I use "bartype = 13" to calculate an indicator for renko bars only?
Results are to be plotted in a scanner window.
Any assistance would be appreciated.
Thanks.
Bruno

brunor

Is there a range tool or calculator in MC? Something similar to the retracement calculator that returns price delta between 2 points. Adding price delta to fibonacci between the 0% and 100% levels would be useful as well.

brunor

I still can't get it to work with MC 64-bit ... The 32-bit version works fine.
I have attached an image.
I appreciate your help.

brunor

I installed the latest version of MC64 ... Still can't enable drawing object alerts by default.

brunor

Is it possible to have the "Enable Alerts" option selected by default for horizontal lines (or any drawing object). If I enable alerts and select "use as default", the next horizontal line I insert does not have the alerts enabled.
Any assistance would be appreciated.

I changed the code after conditon 3 (same as TJ's code for conditions 1 and 2). This version works perfectly.

I would like to plot "UP" if condition1 is true, and "DN" if condition2 is true in a single column within the scanner window.

This code calculates the result correctly. But if I add a variable: IndTotal = Value19+Value20+Value21+Value22+Value23+Value24+Value25+Value26+Value27+Value28 The results are offset by one period on the scanner (see attached image).

I was actually referring to the Microsoft Windows title bar. The title bar can be hidden
with charts under the "appearance" tab. The window takes up less space when not maximized.

brunor

Is it possible to hide or autohide the title bar from the scanner window? This can be done with charts.

I am not familiar with the use of "data" but thank you for the tip. I have something to work with now.

Is there a data feed that offers e-mini futures simulated trading with MC 8.7?
I would prefer to not use a broker for now.

TJ,
I have changed my code as you indicated ... your version is much cleaner.
Thank you once again for your reply and the learning experience.

That is a very good question. I have corrected my error and the indicator
now updates in real-time.

Thank you kindly TJ.

This code change didn't work. The chart indicators are not refreshing in real-time. This applies to indicators plotted on the price bars and below the plot (using IQ Feed).

Is it possible to force MC to plot a RENKO bar based on the box size, and not have to wait for the current bar to close? I would also like to maintain a 15min resolution and avoid the typical extended RENKO bar. SEE Image.
