Watchlist

Postby beggar » 06 Jan 2017

I have some studies on the watchlist using tick resolution. I have a 200 bar and a 10 move moving average applied. The chart I am using has different values than the watchlist moving average values. I tried increasing the number of days that the instrument uses for the studies to 4 months but the values still are not close to what my actual chart displays.

Any ideas appreciated

Hello beggar,

Please set the same Data range and "Maximum number of bars study will reference" both in the scanner and on the chart.
Chart:

Scanner:

I have instrument set at 120 days for both chart and scanner

I have the studies referenced 1000 bars for scanner and stock studies.

I have a 10 bar and a 200 bar moving average for a symbol. The scanner is showing the 2 moving averages as being only 5 or so cents from each other while the chart is showing 60 plus cents from each other

You need to be more specific.
What you are saying is a lot of nothing -- information that are meaningful to you, but not actionable by anyone else.

You need to do this when you are asking for help:
Pick one symbol
give us the date, the price, the moving average period,
give us the moving average value,
show us the other data point
show us the SPECIFIC difference

post some pictures if needed

I have figured out the problem but have no way to fix it. Let's start with this.
I am using renko charts with 1 tick resolution and a 10 cent box size. The study on the scanner is only using 1 tick resolution. Is there a way to reference renko or exotic type charts with the scanner?

Hello beggar,

It is possible to do from a script in MC.NET with DataLoader.
