Easylanguage: Plot Points at the Extremes of High / Low

Recommended Posts

here is a screenshot about what i want to do : plot points at the extremes of high / low

 

An Upswing starts when a bar s high and low prices rise above the respective high and low prices of the latest Downswing. Prices then remain in an Upswing until such a bar that the high and low prices decline below the respective high and low prices of the highest bar of the Upswing. The highest price in the Upswing is called a TOP

 

A Downswing starts when a bar s high and low prices decline below the respective high and low prices of the highest bar of the latest Upswing. Prices then remain in a Downswing until a bar high and low prices rise above the respective high and low prices of the lowest bar of the Downswing. The lowest price in the Downswing is called a BOTTOM.

 

in my code, points aren't plotted at the extremes of high / low

 

THANKS YOU FOR HELP

An Upswing starts when a bar s high and low prices rise above the respective high and low prices of the latest Downswing. Prices then remain in an Upswing until such a bar that the high and low prices decline below the respective high and low prices of the highest bar of the Upswing. The highest price in the Upswing is called a TOP

You are probably looking for a ZZ that is not dynamic in nature so that you can do some automated strategy. The code you are looking for has been done by Spyros Raftopoulos in 2003. He originally coded it in Metastock and although there is a TS version, the published code requires more modification to match that of the Raftopoulos.

 

http://www.traders.com/Documentation/FEEDbk_docs/Archive/112003/TradersTips/TradersTips.html

Spyros Raftopoulos's article in this issue, "The Zigzag Trend Indicator," describes a method of deducing trend from reversal filters. In earlier articles, Raftopoulos described methods for charting zigzags, but his zigzag validity indicator only displayed the "locked" high and low, not the moment when the retracement criteria were met. Raftopoulos's new zigzag trend indicator, described in this issue, can now display this previously undisplayed information on the chart.

give this a try...

this is the Price Action code.

It labels HH/LL on your chart.

I have modified it to draw a horizontal line at the top and bottom of each turn.

you have the option to print the text, draw the line, or both.

HH_LL_Line.txt

mmm... don't know why.

The code is very generic.

I know people have tried in TradeStation with no problem.

I use MultiCharts.

Maybe someone with TradeStation can share his experience.

    • Date: 29th March 2024. GBPUSD Analysis: The Pound Trades Higher But For How Long? The global Stocks Markets are closed due to Easter Friday (Good Friday). The NASDAQ continued to follow the sideways trend while other indices again rose. The SNP500 reaches an all-time high, but the NASDAQ remains under pressure from Tesla, Meta and Apple. The Euro continues to trade lower against all major currencies including the US Dollar, Euro and Japanese Yen. The British Pound is the best performing currency during this morning’s Asian session. However, investors are largely fixing their attention on this afternoon’s Core PCE Price Index. GBPUSD – The Pound Trades Higher but For How Long? The GBPUSD is slightly higher than the day’s open and is primary due to the Pound’s strong performance. At the moment, the British Pound is increasing in value against all major currencies. However, the US Dollar Index is also trading 0.10% higher and for this reason there is a slight conflict here. If investors wish to avoid this conflict, the EURUSD is a better option. This is because, the Euro depreciating against the whole currency market avoiding the “tug-of-war” scenario. The GBPUSD is trading slightly lower than the 2-month’s average price and is trading at 49.10 on the RSI. For this reason, the price of the exchange is at a “neutral” level and is signalling neither a buy nor a sell. The day’s price action and future signals are possibly likely to be triggered by this afternoon’s Core PCE Price Index. Analysts expect the Core PCE Price Index to read 0.3% which is slightly lower than the previous month but will result in the annual figure remaining at 2.85%. The PCE rate is different to the inflation rate and the Fed aims for a rate between 1.5% to 2.00%. Therefore, even if the annual rate remains at 2.85%, as analysts expect, it would be too high for the Fed. If the rate increases, even if only slightly, the US Dollar can again renew bullish momentum and the stock market can come under pressure. This includes the SNP500. Investors are focused on the publication of data on the UK’s gross domestic product (GDP) for the last quarter of 2023: the quarterly figures decreased by 0.3%, and 0.2% over the past 12-months. This confirms the state of a shallow recession and the need for stimulation. The data, combined with a cooling labor market and a steady decline in inflation, increase the likelihood that the Bank of England will soon begin interest rate cuts. In the latest meeting the Bank of England representatives did not see any members vote for a hike. USA500 – The SNP500 Rises to New Highs, But Cannot Hold Onto Gains! The price of the SNP500 rises to an all-time high, before correcting 0.33% and ending the day slightly lower than the open price. Nonetheless, the index performs better than the NASDAQ which came under pressure from Tesla, Meta and Apple which hold a higher weight compared to the SNP500. For the SNP500, these 3 stocks hold a weight of 9.25%, whereas the 3 stocks make up 14.63% of the NASDAQ. The SNP500 is also supported by ExxonMobil’s gains due to higher energy prices. The market will remain closed on Friday due to Easter. However, the market will reopen on Monday for the US and investors can expect high volatility. Investors will also need to take into consideration how the PCE Price Index and the changed value of the US Dollar is likely to affect the stock market next week.
