Hi

I am wondering if there is an Inside Bar indicator or CCC Indicator for tradestation that works in the Radar Screen?

What im basically am looking for is an indicator which on a daily chart tells me if there has been an Inside bar or an CCC in any of the 20-30 pairs that im watching through the Radar Screen.

I have been trying to code one myself in Easy Language but unfortunate my skills are not good enough to get it to work...

If anyone can point me in the right direction I would be a VERY happy man.

I do not know if it will work as is or need an adjustment.

Thank you for the quick response!

Im looking for something similar, I do however want it to work in the Radar Screen which this one does not.

It could be anything, just plot a point or anything there when there is an Inside Bar so that it draws my attention to that pair, doesn't necessarily need to do anything fancy etc...

[daedalus]

just modify the stock tradestation one and add "LastBarOnChart" to the if then statement...


so it would look something like this (in fact, this should work):

if High < High[1] and Low > Low[1] and LastBarOnChart then 
	begin
	Plot1( Close, "IB", red);
	Alert("IB Pending");
	end
else
	NoPlot( 1 );

That should work in radar screen so that if the last bar that closed is an inside bar it should populate the closing price of the asset and alert you.

Cheers!

Hi Daedalus.

That is very similar to what I wrote, I could not get it work properly though.

What Im looking for is very similar to this, I would however like to have the choice of getting indications on both 1 Inside Bar and when there are numerous Inside Bars, the price etc is not important id rather just have a text that says IB or something in the Radar Screen.

Also at the moment its indicating whenever there is an inside bar at this very moment which is not necessary. Since im planning on using this for a daily chart I just need notification whenever a bar has closed and not when its about to close.

All the help is very much appreciated!!

well if you want multiple inside bars, just add an additional if then that compares further bars back....

if High < High[1] and Low > Low[1] and High[1] < High[2] and Low[1] > Low[2]and LastBarOnChart then

That statement would check to see if the last two consecutive bars were both IB's.

Just change the alerts to whatever you want. Then make sure you set the indicator in radarscreen to NOT update tick-by-tick. Then it will be default only calculate on each bar's close.

Hi

Whenever I add that extra line I get absolutely nothing in my tradestation, im not very good at Easy Language and I am probably doing something wrong. You dont by any chance have the full code I need?
