hi im trying to create an indicator i found in a magazine.

the code is TS code so I suppose that's where the problem lies.

i try to compile but it gives an error:

Code: Select all

Once( CurrentBar > Period + TEMA_Period )

	OkToPlot = true ; (THIS IS WHERE IT SAYS THERE'S AN ERROR, WITH THE OKTOPLOT)

THE ERROR STATES:

syntax error, unexpected 'identificator'
effline 22, errColumn 1, errLineEnd22, errColumnEnd1
causal study: (Function)

is this something i can fix?

sorry, wrong code. this is it:

Code: Select all


inputs:

	TEMA_Period( 8 ),

	Period( 18 ),

	UpperBandDev( 1.6 ),

	LowerBandDev( 1.6 ),

	StandardDevPeriod( 63 ),

	BandColor( Cyan ),

	SignalLineColor( Magenta ),

	MidPointColor( White ) ;

	 

variables:

	OkToPlot( false ),

	haOpen( 0 ),

	haC( 0 ),

	TMA1( 0 ),

	TMA2( 0 ),

	Diff( 0 ),

	Z1HA( 0 ),

	TMAZ1HA( 0 ),

	SD_TMAZ1HA( 0 ),

	SVEPerB( 0 ),

	SDPerB( 0 ),

	PerBUpperBand( 0 ),

	PerBLowerBand( 0 ) ;

	

Once( CurrentBar > StandardDevPeriod )

	OkToPlot = true	;

	

haOpen = 0.5 * ( AvgPrice + haOpen[1] ) ;

haC = 0.25 * ( AvgPrice + haOpen + MaxList( High,

 haOpen ) + Minlist( Low, haOpen ) ) ;

TMA1 = TEMA( haC, TEMA_Period ) ;

TMA2 = TEMA( TMA1, TEMA_Period ) ;

Diff = TMA1 - TMA2 ;

Z1HA = TMA1 + Diff ;

TMAZ1HA = TEMA( Z1HA, TEMA_Period ) ;

SD_TMAZ1HA = StandardDev( TMAZ1HA, Period, 1 ) ;



if SD_TMAZ1HA <> 0 then

	SVEPerB = 25 * ( TMAZ1HA + 2 * SD_TMAZ1HA -

	 WAverage( TMAZ1HA, Period ) ) / SD_TMAZ1HA ;



SDPerB = StandardDev( SVEPerB, StandardDevPeriod, 1 ) ;



PerBUpperBand = 50 + UpperBandDev * SDPerB ;

PerBLowerBand = 50 - LowerBandDev * SDPerB ;



if OkToPlot then

	begin

	Plot1( SVEPerB, "SVE_%b", SignalLineColor ) ;

	Plot2( PerBUpperBand, "PerBUpBand", BandColor ) ;

	Plot3( PerBLowerBand, "LowerBand", BandColor ) ;

	Plot4( 50, "MidPoint", MidPointColor ) ;

	end ;

thanks.

try this:

MC requires the syntax:
Once( CurrentBar > StandardDevPeriod )
begin
OkToPlot = true ;
end;

while TS EL allows a single statement without the begin/end statement block.

Once( CurrentBar > Period + TEMA_Period )
OkToPlot = true ; (THIS IS WHERE IT SAYS THERE'S AN ERROR, WITH THE OKTOPLOT)

THE ERROR STATES:

syntax error, unexpected 'identificator'
effline 22, errColumn 1, errLineEnd22, errColumnEnd1
causal study: (Function)

is this something i can fix?
