I have installed the ELD and also the workspaces per instructions.

TTM DDF Automatic works perfectly. However, The TTM DDF Value Chart never appears (although you can see it is inserted into the chart window). I have attached a chart.

Any help is appreciated.

can you please tell me the name of the indicator on the price in this picture creating support resistance?

thanks

I have been using this indicator for several weeks, but still can't make a good exit strategy for it. As we all know, open the trade when +-8 on value chart, but how did you close the position ? Any suggestion ? By the way , i have read the book "Dynamic trading indicators" The author just use 25 and 75 MA cross to close the position, but i think it's too rough.

Hi

Thanks for posting this code its a really handy indicator, I was wondering if someone could help me mod the code please, i would like the bars that's are above or below 8 to change colour to red or green.

If the bar is -8 or lower i would like it green and if its +8 or higher i would like it red

I would appreciate any help

I guess this is the line of code that draws the bar so i would need to bod or write some code to change the colour of this it can stay gray until + or -8

DrawLine("Tag1" + CurrentBar, true, 0, ValueHi(), 0, ValueLo(), Color.Gray, DashStyle.Solid,4);

Thanks in advance

If this is the same ELD file that I have (bound to be - the programmer eKam mentioned in the thread rings a bell), then to view the calculations the indicator performs, take the following steps:

- Open the EL Development environment from the TS 'View' dropdown menu.

- Select 'open'.

- In the drop down, select 'Functions'

- Find the relevant 'VChart' function file and open it.

And now you're looking at the Value Chart calculation. The link to the Stendahl article is a useful intro, however there are almost certainly better ways of using it than those he suggests (ironic, seeing as he's the creator!).
