Thx

Have this in my library...
Hurst Coefficient

Code: Select all

Inputs: Len(Numeric);
Vars: Mean(0), j(0), k(1.253314), SumSqr(0), Scale(0), MaxY(0),
MinY(0), Rng(0);
Arrays: X[100](0), Y[100](0);
Mean = Average(C, Len);
SumSqr = 0;
for j = 0 to Len - 1 begin
X[j] = C[j] - Mean;
SumSqr = SumSqr + X[j] * X[j];
end;
Scale = SquareRoot(SumSqr / Len);
Y[0] = X[0];
MaxY = X[0];
MinY = X[0];
for j = 1 to Len - 1 begin
Y[j] = Y[j - 1] + X[j];
if Y[j] > MaxY then MaxY = Y[j];
if Y[j] < MinY then MinY = Y[j];
end;
Rng = MaxY - MinY;
Hurst = Log(Rng/(k * Scale)) / Log(Len);

Attached a Hurst Channel indicator as well. Not sure if either are what you are in search of. Good luck.

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, errColumnEnd 33
causal study: (Function)

the first code is a function, not an indicator.

you have to compile it as a function, using "hurst" as the function name.


for further explanation of Functions,
please see the 1st post in this thread:

I am not sure what you mean.

The Hurst indicator (2nd code posted by PioTrek) compiles and works ok.

p.s. the 1st function code is not needed for the 2nd indicator code.

The 2nd Hurst code I posted is work from Clyde Lee. He is considered by many an expert in this particular space. Recommend you examine his work. Another would be Brian Millard and his channel analysis techniques.

Best of luck.

I haev done a search on Hurst. There is a web here http://www.theswingmachine.com/index2.htm

The Hurst Band or the "Edge Band Trading Opportunities" looks interesting.

Is there any manual to use the indicators or reference that we can look at apart from the book mentioned in the front part of the indicator?

TJ,

Why the second indicator doesn't update in a realtime chart (MC6.0 beta2)? Your chart seems updating in a realtime chart.

Did I do anything wrong?

TJ,

Strange, mine doesn't update. I have checked that the Format Study \ Properties in which "Update on every tick is checked.

Did you make any change on the Inputs? What version of MC are you using?

**Yes, Clyde was an expert in cycle analysis, unfortunately, Clyde passed away a few months ago, Clyde and his research, will be greatly missed by traders around the World.
