iADX -- an Improved Mouse Trap This is just an ordinary ADX... I tweaked the presentation for easier reading. The ADX line is shown as a histogram, with up and down colors. The color is based on the slope of a 9 XMA. When the ADX line is declining, the width of the histogram becomes narrow, that is because we are only concerned with a rising ADX slope. In the chart illustration below, I have included the original ADX for your comparison. enjoy! p.s. good news to MultiCharts users: James has added PLA as a valid upload file format. You can click on the PLA file below and import the indicator automatically into MultiCharts. TradeStation users are invited to post your ELD. iADX.txt iADX_(MultiCharts).pla

STRSQZ -- Stretch and Squeeze (w auto calibrate) This indicator displays the premium/discount between a future contract and its cash index A popular display pair is YM and INDU Basic Concept: When the market is going up, the future leads the cash with premium. When the market is going down, the future leads the cash with discount*. (* or less premium) The key is to look for excessive premium/discount at points of change. (eg. at channel boundaries, price extremes, etc.,) Note that this is not a Buy/Sell type of indicator You will need to understand the workings of the market to exploit these signals. Instructions: set up 3 symbols in the chart: data1: INDU index (1 minute) data2: YM current month future contract (1 minute) data3: YM current month future contract (5 minutes) Set the first 2 symbols to invisible... the 3rd symbol is your trading chart (you can substitute the 3rd symbol with other instruments, eg. ES, NQ) Note: 1. The indicator uses a moving average to surpress the noise. The first few bars of the day is not displayed 2. The indicator will stop plotting when the cash is closed 3. The histogram color threshold is user adjustable STRSQZ_Stretch_and_Squeeze.txt

Hello All, [This is a real time indicator that shows an up bar or down bar over a zero line revealing the shifting of bid to ask sizes for 5 levels of the DOM. Also has a numerical representation on the upper chart panel.] I found this nifty indicator and absolutely love it, but can't remember what site I got it on or from who. I trade live with OEC but use this indicator on Ninja demo. I understand that Easy Language code can be used in Open E-Cry but none of the bid ask indicators on this site replicate the Ninja code. Goal is to "convert" this indicator to Easy Language for use in Open Ecry platform. Any thoughts? Thank you, Vin OrderBook.zip

MAMA Combo This is one of my earlier inventions. Maybe "invention" is not the precise word to describe this, it is more like a concoction... because I did not "invent" the indicators, I merely combined them together in one presentation. This indicator should be called MA-MACD Combo, but I thought MAMA Combo sounds more catchy. ;-) This is a basic run of the mill MACD indicator, with a Fast Moving Average overlaid on top. I have created an oscillating black and white panel in the background; when the MACD value crosses below the MACD average, the panel will turn black, and white in the reverse direction. (you can adjust the panel height with BG.height in Study Format) The Fast Moving Average is the Red Light / Green Light indicator. It serves as an early warning to impending moves. You can see the code and description here: http://www.traderslaboratory.com/forums/f46/red-light-green-light-5848.html#post63641 This indicator works best in a fast fractal chart. eg. 2 minutes ES. Let me know if you have questions or suggestions. Enjoy! MAMA_Combo.txt

Red Light / Green Light I have previously posted this on another thread. It was for MultiCharts. Someone asks if I can make a TradeStation version. Yes of course, here it is: This might well be the Holy Grail you have been looking for. Description: this is a MA based indicator The indicator turns green when the price is trading above the MA and turns red when the price is trading below the MA. Format Setting: set the General Style to Point, Weight to heavy For the indicator to appear on the bottom of the screen, set the scale Range to Maxium=50, Minumum=-1 For the indicator to appear on the bottom of the screen, set the scale Range to Maxium=1, Minumum=-50 You can adjust the Length of the MA period. (MC only) if you leave it at 0 (zero), the MA is automatically set to 3 periods for minute/hour/day charts and 7 periods for tick and volume charts Midrange is used to calculate the MA redlight_greenlight_(MC).txt redlight_greenlight_(TradeStation).txt

This thread is about Arrays. Array Declares one or more names as arrays, containing multiple variable data elements; specifies the array structure, data elements type and initial value, update basis, and data number, for each of the arrays. Data elements type can be numerical, string, or true/false. The number of elements in an array can be fixed or dynamic (unlimited). In arrays with a fixed number of elements, the elements can be arranged in single or multiple dimensions. A one-dimensional 10-element array contains 10 elements, a two-dimensional 10-element by 10-element array contains 100 elements, a three-dimensional 10 by 10 by 10 element array contains 1000 elements, a four-dimensional 10 by 10 by 10 by 10 element array contains 10000 elements, etc. The maximum number of array dimensions in EasyLanguage is 9. Each element in an array is referenced by one or more index numbers, one for each of the dimensions. Indexing starts at 0 for each of the dimensions. Dynamic arrays (arrays with an unlimited number of elements) are one-dimensional, and are initialized at declaration as having only one element. Declared dynamic arrays can be resized using Array_SetMaxIndex. Elements can be manipulated individually or as a group, in all or part of an array. Usage Array:<IntraBarPersist>ArrayName1[D1,D2,D3,etc.](InitialValue1<,DataN>), <IntraBarPersist>ArrayName2[D1,D2,D3,etc.](InitialValue2<,DataN>), etc... Parameters inside the angled brackets are optional Parameters IntraBarPersist - an optional parameter; specifies that the value of the array elements is to be updated on every tick If this parameter is not specified, the value will be updated at the close of each bar. ArrayName - an expression specifying the array name The name can consist of letters, underscore characters, numbers, and periods. The name cannot begin with a number or a period and is not case-sensitive. D - a numerical expression specifying the array size in elements, starting at 0, for each of the dimensions; a single expression specifies a one-dimensional array, two expressions specify a two-dimensional (D1 by D2) array, three expressions specify a three-dimensional (D1 by D2 by D3) array, etc. A dynamic array, with an unlimited number of elements, is specified by the empty square brackets: [] and will be a one-dimensional array. InitialValue - an expression, specifying the initial value and defining the data type for all of the elements in the array The value can be a numerical, string, or true/false expression; the type of the expression defines the data type. DataN - an optional parameter; specifies the Data Number of the data series the array is to be tied to If this parameter is not specified, the array will be tied to the default data series. Examples Declare Length and SFactor as 9-element one-dimensional numerical arrays with data elements' initial values of 0: Array: Length[8](0), SFactor[8](0); Declare Max_Price as a 24-element by 60-element two-dimensional numerical array, updated on every tick, tied to the series with Data #2, and with data elements' initial values equal to the value of Close function: Array:IntraBarPersist Max_Price[23,59](Close,Data2); Declare Highs2 as a dynamic numerical array with data elements' initial values of 0: Array:Highs2[](0); source: EasyLanguage manual

Paint the Town Red (MultiCharts EasyLanguage) This indicator was written in MultiCharts. I don't know if it works in TradeStation. This indicator "paints" the background color, using a thick plot to mimic the background color property. The background color will turn light green when the price is trading above the moving average, and pink when below. The colors and moving average length are user adjustable. check here for additional color values: http://www.traderslaboratory.com/forums/f56/finding-hex-color-values-for-ts-5683.html#post62065 Paint_the_Town_Red.txt

Hello. Sorry if posted before, but couldn't find searching the forums. I'm writing a strategy that allows pyramiding and I would like to access the number of open positions with easylanguage. Is that possible? Can't find a way to do that. I can find the entryprice, entrybar, etc for the entry of the position. However, I can't find a way to access addition to this position. Advice. Thanks

Many have asked what the differences are between the PBF-Squeeze indicator and the other popular and well-known Squeeze that's been out there for years, which is retailed at $496. The simple answer is: THIS is much faster and way more precise. THIS Squeeze indicator has absolutely nothing to do with the other Squeeze except for the name and similar formation (lines, dots, histograms, green, red, what else can you do?) The idea and calculation behind our Squeeze is brand new. It does not employ the Momentum or CCI indicator, which are okay but not precise and responsive enough for our tastes. The "traditioinal" Bollinger Band/Keltner Channel idea that plots the middle line is kept alive if you choose 2 for "style" under "format technical analysis", but we no longer use it in our trading. This idea sounds very attractive in theory, but if you really think about it and examine the charts, both Bollinger Band and Keltner Channels are lagging indicators. By the time the Bollinger Band moves inside the Keltner Channel, the market would have been moving sideways for at least a few bars. What's worse is when the Bollinger Band moves outside of the Keltner Channel, the market has been moving for at least a few bars. If you enter positions then, that means you are a few bars too late. For this reason, we have re-designed the middle line, which has made tremendous differences in our trading, especially in the counter-trend mode. PBF-SQUEEZE.ELD

Here is an indicator I found at Ts forums... I played a lot with it this week and I had a lot of exitment and complications with it... now for this volume analisis we all are looking at inTL this could be another input someone may find interesting... this is the "Tick Time Box" it will create a box every x time setting, and in ticks or volume based charts can be very usefull to know how many bars (volume) you got on that specific period... aplications can be multiple... so much I just whent back to my 2 min chart with old classic volume histogram... cant get better... any way I thought I would share... enjoy cheers Walter. pd : example chart is a 9tick chart of ym with 5 minutes boxes.
