OEC Indicators

Recommended Posts

Hi all ... I realize that this is my 1st post and I hate bugging people but I've been trying to figure something out for 3 days now and I just can't get it.

 

I want to have W%R and TRIX in the same indicator window overlapping each other.

 

Some platforms are really easy to do, like MT4 you just drag each indicator onto the existing one and they are plotted in the same window. With OEC I haven't been able to find how to do this. Even writing my own custom indicator isn't working for me. For whatever reason it doesn't like the %R ...

 

If anyone has suggestions I would appreciate it.

 

Thanks.

I tried using the rapid indicator wizard but for some reason it doesn't like the %R indicator ... it keeps giving errors. I don't really know how to code something like this ... I sent OEC an email about it also so maybe they have a solution.

 

Thanks for the reply.

Gave it a try, and was not successful. Was able to plot the two indicators in one pane, but there is no way ( at least from what I know) to tell one indicator to use the left axis and the other in the right axis. So one indicator will always be "smooshed" down. Maybe in a future release OEC will have that function. sorry.

No problem ... thanks for trying ... actually I just (2 minutes ago) got a reply from OEC which said much the same thing ...

Unfortunately, at this time, we do not offer the ability to overlay indicators on top of each other.

 

Thanks again for checking into it Trader .....

give this a try.

you can massage the TRIX range with TRIX.multiplier.

 

p.s. I have not tried it in OEC. I merely combined the EasyLanguage code.

if the individual indicator works in OEC, then this combined version should work too.

 

inputs:
TRIX.multiplier(5),
Price( Close ),
Length( 9 ),
ColorNormLength( 14 ),                                                       
UpColor( Yellow ),                                                             
DnColor( Red );

variables:
var1( 0 ),
var2( 0 ) ;


var1 = TRIX( Price, Length ) * TRIX.multiplier +50 ;

Plot1( var1, "TRIX" ) ;
Plot2( 50, "ZeroLine" ) ;

condition1 = UpColor >= 0 and DnColor >= 0 ;                     
if condition1 then
begin
var2 = NormGradientColor( var1, true, ColorNormLength, UpColor,
 DnColor ) ;
SetPlotColor( 1, var2 );
end;

condition1 = var1 crosses over 0 ;                  
if condition1 then
Alert( "Indicator turning positive" )
else
begin 
condition1 = var1 crosses under 0 ;
if condition1 then
Alert( "Indicator turning negative" ) ;
end;


{---------------------}
inputs: 
R.Length( 14 ), 
R.OverSold( 20 ), 
R.OverBought( 80 ), 
R.OverSColor( blue ), 
R.OverBColor( Red ) ;

variables:
var0.R( 0 ) ;

var0.R = PercentR( R.Length ) ;

Plot3( var0.R, "%R" ) ;
Plot4( R.OverBought, "OverBot" ) ;
Plot5( R.OverSold, "OverSld" ) ;


if var0.R > R.OverBought then 
SetPlotColor( 3, R.OverBColor ) 
else if var0.R < R.OverSold then 
SetPlotColor( 3, R.OverSColor ) ;

condition1 = var0.R crosses over R.OverSold ;
if condition1 then
Alert( "Indicator exiting oversold zone" )
else 
begin
condition1 = var0.R crosses under R.OverBought ; 
if condition1 then
Alert( "Indicator exiting overbought zone" ) ;
end;
