Help on Coding in Multicharts

[Help on Coding in Multicharts]

Thanks OneSmith. The code is amazing!

 

I cracked my head for the last two days and still was not able to find one. Now looking at your code, I don't think I can get it by myself!

 

Thanks again.

 

input: stren(5), rStren(2);
var: hd(d), ht(t), hp(c), ld(d), lt(t), lp(c), hid(0), lid(0), lastHP(H), lastLP(L), dir(0), currentHH(H), currentLL(L);

once begin
   hid=tl_new(d,t,c,d,t,c);  lid=tl_new(d,t,c,d,t,c);
end;

if PivotHighVS(1,H,stren,rStren,rStren+1)>0 then begin
   if H[rStren]>lastHP then begin 
       if H[rStren]>currentHH then begin
           hd=d[rStren];  ht=t[rStren];  hp=H[rStren];  dir=1;  currentHH=hp;
           if dir[1]<0 then hid=tl_new(ld,lt,lp,hd,ht,hp) else tl_setend(hid,hd,ht,hp);
       end;
       currentLL=99999;
   end; 
   lastHP=H[rStren];  
end;
if PivotLowVS(1,L,stren,rStren,rStren+1)>0 then begin
   if L[rStren]<lastLP then begin
        if L[rStren]<currentLL then begin
           ld=d[rStren];  lt=t[rStren];  lp=L[rStren];  dir= -1;  currentLL=lp;
           if dir[1]>0 then lid=tl_new(hd,ht,hp,ld,lt,lp) else tl_setend(lid,ld,lt,lp);
       end;
       currentHH=0;
   end;    
   lastLP=L[rStren];
end;

Thanks Tams. I am using Multicharts. And thanks for the ps. I will use the code tag next time. :crap:

 

if you are using tick bars (ie sub-minute bars),

you can only draw trendlines with MultiCharts.

Tradestation cannot do sub-minute analysis.

 

 

ps. when posting codes, please use the code tag. It is the key at the top of the message frame.

Thank you, OneSmith. I attached the result of the your code.

 

There are some lines which did not connect from the previous HH or LL. I will try to find the code myself and ask for help again if required.

 

Really appreciate your help.

 

input: stren(5), rStren(2);
var: hd(0), ht(0), hp(0), ld(0), lt(0), lp(0), hid(0), lid(0), HH(0), LL(0);

if PivotHighVS(1,H,stren,rStren,rStren+1)>0 then begin
   hd=d[rStren];  ht=t[rStren];  hP=H[rStren];
   if hp>hp[1] then begin
       HH=1;
       if HH[1]=0 then hid=tl_new(ld,lt,lp,hd,ht,hp) else tl_setend(hid,hd,ht,hp);
   end else HH=0;
end else if PivotLowVS(1,L,stren,rStren,rStren+1)>0 then begin
   ld=d[rStren];  lt=t[rStren];  lp=L[rStren];
   if lp<lp[1] then begin
       LL=1;
       if LL[1]=0 then lid=tl_new(hd,ht,hp,ld,lt,lp) else tl_setend(lid,ld,lt,lp);
   end else LL=0;
end;

I am trying to develop an indicator that will show a trend line from LL to HH and from HH to LL.

 

My coding is as follows:-

 

inputs:

LeftStrength( 5) ,

RightStrength( 2 ),

LookBackLength( 100 ),

line.color(White);

 

variable:

 

id.tl(-1),

HighValue1(0),

HighValue2(0),

LowValue1(0),

LowValue2(0),

Var1(0), Var2(0), Var3(0), Var4(0), Var5(0), Var6(0),

Var7(0), Var8(0), Var9(0), var10(0), var11(0), var12(0),

oPivotPrice1(0), oPivotBar1(0),oPivotPrice2(0), oPivotBar2(0);

 

// to find the HH

if PivotHighVSBar( 1, High, LeftStrength, RightStrength, RightStrength + 1 ) <> -1 then

begin

HighValue1 = PivotHighVS(1, High, Leftstrength, RightStrength, LookBackLength );

HighValue2 = PivotHighVS(2, High, Leftstrength, RightStrength, LookBackLength );

 

if HighValue2 <> -1 and HighValue1 > HighValue2 then

begin

Var1 = Date[RightStrength];

Var2 = Time[RightStrength];

Var3 = High[RightStrength];

end;

end ;

 

// to find LL

if PivotLowVSBar( 1, Low, LeftStrength, RightStrength, RightStrength + 1 ) <> -1 then

begin

LowValue1 = PivotLowVS(1, Low, Leftstrength, RightStrength, LookBackLength );

LowValue2 = PivotLowVS(2, Low, Leftstrength, RightStrength, LookBackLength );

 

if LowValue2 <> -1 and LowValue1 < LowValue2 then

begin

Var4 = Date[RightStrength];

Var5 = Time[RightStrength];

Var6 = Low[RightStrength];

 

end;

end ;

 

id.tl = Tl_new(var1, var2, var3, var4, var5, var6);

TL_setcolor(id.tl, line.color);

 

The result of the above code is that it draws a trend line between each HH and LL (as shown in the attached JPG).

 

However, the indicator that I want is to draw a trend line between the latest LL and HH. I tried to find a way to do it but due to my limited programming knowledge my effort is in vain.

 

If I am not clear, please let me know.

 

Thanks everyone in advance.
