So, the new build of OEC Trader comes out and works just dandy (well kind of) but one of the things it did change was how it calculated some of my indicators.

This is the easylanguage code for the ADXVMA:

Inputs:
ADX_Bars(5),
MA_SMA_1_EMA_2_HMA_3(1),
Extra_MA_Length(1),
DownColor(Red),
UpColor(Blue),
ChopColor(Yellow);

Vars:
TR(0),DI_Diff(0), DI_Sum(0),ma(0),pdm(0),mdm(0),pdi(0),mdi(0), DI_Factor(0), VI(0), diff(0), HHV(0), LLV(0),WeightDM(ADX_Bars),
WeightDI(ADX_Bars), WeightDX(ADX_Bars),ChandeEMA(ADX_Bars),out(0),j(0),MAPlot(0); 

   ma=Close;    
   pdm=0;
   mdm=0;
   pdi=0;
   mdi=0;
   out=0;
 
   pdm=0;
   mdm=0;
   if(Close>Close[1]) then pdm=Close-Close[1] else mdm=Close[1]-Close;//This array is not displayed.

   pdm=((WeightDM-1)*pdm[1] + pdm)/WeightDM;//ema.
   mdm=((WeightDM-1)*mdm[1] + mdm)/WeightDM;//ema.

   TR=pdm+mdm;

   if (TR>0) then begin
   	pdi=pdm/TR;
   mdi=mdm/TR; end else begin
   pdi=0;
   mdi=0;
   end;

   pdi=((WeightDI-1)*pdi[1] + pdi)/WeightDI;//ema.
   mdi=((WeightDI-1)*mdi[1] + mdi)/WeightDI;//ema.
   DI_Diff=pdi-mdi;  
   if (DI_Diff<0) then  DI_Diff= -DI_Diff;//Only positive momentum signals are used.
   DI_Sum=pdi+mdi;
   DI_Factor=0;//Zero case, DI_Diff will also be zero when DI_Sum is zero.
   if (DI_Sum>0) then out=DI_Diff/DI_Sum else out=0;

   out=((WeightDX-1)*out[1] + out)/WeightDX;

   if (out>out[1]) then begin 
   	HHV=out;
	LLV=out[1]; end else begin
   HHV=out[1];
   LLV=out;
   end;
   
	
      
for j = 1 to adx_bars-1 begin	
   if(out[j+1]>HHV)then HHV=out[j+1];
   if(out[j+1]<LLV) then LLV=out[j+1];
   end;

   


   diff = HHV - LLV;
   VI=0;
   if (diff>0) then  VI=(out-LLV)/diff;
   
          
   ma=((ChandeEMA-VI)*ma[1]+VI*Close)/ChandeEMA;//Chande VMA formula with ema built in.


 if MA_SMA_1_EMA_2_HMA_3 = 1 then MAPlot = average(ma,Extra_MA_Length);

 if MA_SMA_1_EMA_2_HMA_3 = 2 then MAPlot = xaverage(ma,Extra_MA_Length);

 if MA_SMA_1_EMA_2_HMA_3 = 3 then MAPlot = JTHMA(ma,Extra_MA_Length);
   	
  Plot1(ma,"ADXVMA");
  Plot2(MAPlot,"ExtraMA");

#function jtHMA	 
	 
Inputs: price(NumericSeries), length(NumericSimple); 
Vars: halvedLength(0), sqrRootLength(0); 
 
{ 
 Original equation is: 
 --------------------- 
 waverage(2*waverage(close,period/2)-waverage(close ,period), SquareRoot(Period) 
 Implementation below is more efficient with lengthy Weighted Moving Averages. 
 In addition, the length needs to be converted to an integer value after it is halved and 
 its square root is obtained in order for this to work with Weighted Moving Averaging 
} 
 
if ((ceiling(length / 2.00) - (length / 2.00))  <= 0.50) then 
	halvedLength = ceiling(length / 2.00) 
else 
	halvedLength = floor(length / 2.00); 
 
if ((ceiling(SquareRoot(length)) - SquareRoot(length))  <= 0.50) then 
	sqrRootLength = ceiling(SquareRoot(length)) 
else 
	sqrRootLength = floor(SquareRoot(length)); 
 
Value1 = 2.00 * WAverage(price, halvedLength); 
Value2 = WAverage(price, length); 
Value3 = WAverage((Value1 - Value2), sqrRootLength); 
 
jtHMA = Value3;

Originally the indicator plotted its calculations like this... 89.781, now on the new version of OEC everything is rounded to 89.78. That extra .001 actually plays a key role in how I want to trade so is there any way to force the code to give me an extra decimal spot?

*and i guess I should mention that the attached code is in OEC version... it won't import to TS unless you copy/paste the function and compile it separately...* I was just hoping this was an obvious quick fix that wouldn't require importing it.

Cheers!*

Just go to Format Indicator, then Scaling, and find there "Custom Decimal Places" - chang to 3 and it should work they way you want.

Also, using this word "round", gives you the ability to round the number to 3 decimals in the code:

plot1( round(close, 3));

Thanks for your suggestions... I tried the OEC version of what you said and changed the "Additional Fractional Digits" of the data box to 3 (it was on 1) however it made no change.

I also did the rounding change to the plots and again nothing.

I would just do a numtstr tag and manually change the print.... but OEC doesn't support that.

Anyone know of an OEC supported print function that I can added decimals to?

Hi Daedelus
Hope it helps you
Best regards

Thanks for all the helpful ideas gents. Turns out this is a platform bug that is being addressed and they have given me a similar workaround to AAA's suggestion until its fixed.

Cheers!

Hi to Everybody,
I would like to have some help with ADXVMA indicator.
1) If somebody can help to have the Metastock version.
2) OR if somebody could "explain - describe step by step the code of the indicator" so i could try to .....
Thanks in advance for any help.
Best Regards
Dimitri
