Hello,

I'm starting with MultiCharts and for my first programming exercise, I would like to generate a signal and an alert if the following conditions are present:
Condition1 =macd line >0
Condition2 = macd histogramme >0
Condition3 = price cross over upper bollinger band

Could you please help me to write this code ?

Is it an indicator or a signal or a function ???

Thanks in advance,

Getting Started with EasyLanguage

it is not a difficult book, but it does take time and patience to read.
the book is full of examples for all kinds of analysis.
I promise you, the payback will be in multifold.


I can help you to get from step 1 to step 2,
but you have to first get from step zero to step one.

Thank you Tams for your help.

I just finished studying the book, but I am unable to set an alarm between a bollinger band, a MACD and the price ...
This is not as "easy" as that ...

This indicator took me 1 minute on ProRealTime, 10 minutes on NinjaTrader, and I fear it requires me 1 week on MC ...

So, what can I do ?
And is there any website where I could find some free indicators and strategy (exemple : pivot point, macd in color, etc, ...) ???

Thanks in advance !

MultiCharts comes with hundreds of indicators and strategies.

Start your PowerEditor,

File> Open

you will see the list there.

I need a Real-Time Market Scanner and it seems to me that it does not exist in NinjaTrader ...

To schedule a simple strategy as (MACD> 0 and macdligne> 0 and price crossover BBup), where can I find help?

EasyLanguage is English like; it is easy to learn.
See the scribble you made? You already have 90% the strategy written!
Just combine the indicators and add your logic to the end...
and voila, you have your scanner !

Give it a try... you will be amazed at what you can do.

Good luck!

ok, but for exemple, I write :

if Close > BollingerBand(Close,12,2) and MACD(Close,12,26) > 0 then buy next bar at market ;

if Close < BollingerBand(Close,12,2) and MACD(Close,12,26) < 0 then sellshort next bar at market ;

But how can I use the macd line ??? I need to add a condition macd line > 0 for long and macd line < 0 for short and I found nothing ine the user manual..

Thanks in advance,
