Trend lines on an indicator

Recommended Posts

TradeStation's Easy Language can draw (plot) trend-lines on a price chart automatically. I was wondering if TS can also automatically plot trend-lines on an indicator? For instance Is Easy Language flexible enough to allow one to code a trend-line joining two highs of a stochastic plot? If so does anyone have an example? I have coded indicators in Easy language but before I spend time tying to accomplish this I would like to know if it is possible. Any help would be much appreciated.

It can be done with MultiCharts. Not sure with TS.

you do it the same way as if you draw on the main chart.

the only different is on the reserved word:

 

TL_New_self

Displays a trendline, with the specified starting and ending points, on the SubChart containing the study; returns a trendline-specific ID number, required to modify the trendline.

 

Usage

TL_New_self (sDate, sTime, sPriceValue, eDate, eTime, ePriceValue)

 

Parameters

sDate - a numerical expression specifying the trendline starting point date; the date is indicated in the YYYMMdd format, where YYY is the number of years since 1900, MM is the month, and dd is the day of the month

 

sTime - a numerical expression specifying the trendline starting point time; the time is indicated in the 24-hour HHmm format, where 1300 = 1:00 PM

 

sPriceValue - a numerical expression specifying the trendline starting point price value (vertical position, corresponding to a value on the price scale of a chart)

 

eDate - a numerical expression specifying the trendline ending point date

 

eTime - a numerical expression specifying the trendline ending point time

 

ePriceValue - a numerical expression specifying the trendline ending point price value

 

Example

Display a trendline, that begins at 9:00 AM at a price value of 1381, and ends at 3:00 PM at a price value of 1337, on January 17th, 2008, on the SubChart containing the study:

 

Value1=TL_New_self(1080117,900,1381,1080117,1500,1337);

Thanks Tams, it was this TL_New_self that I was unaware of. Trade Station does not have this "self" option but as I see MultiCharts does.

 

At least now I know in theory it can be done as I also have MultiCharts. Now I have to modify the indicator "Trendlines Automatic" to work on an indicator. Unless you know of one flying around that can already join the tops on an oscillation indicator.

 

Thanks again. :)

drawing the trendline is easy.

 

the sweat is in the time and effort required to determine

the coordinates for the starting and ending points.

 

there is no flying around way to accomplish easy tasks.

    • Question: To those that had/have cancer, what were the signs that made you think “something is not right here” to make you go see a doctor? Answer: So, 5/25/2018, I woke up, got ready for work, and as I walked to my car, I started gagging. Like something was stuck in my throat and I needed to clear it. And then it went away.   But 10 minutes after that, I was T-boned at 40mph on the driver side door. But what made me see a doctor was while my muscles felt better and bruises were going away, the gagging still continued, I started having fevers, my neck felt swollen, I was having such a hard time breathing, and I'd have random sharp pains in my chest, but not from where the seat belt saved me.   2 weeks after the accident, I finally see an urgent care doctor, who looks me over, tells me I'm fine, but luckily requests a neck X-ray. And I ask for a chest X-ray, which he rolls his eyes but let me have (most of my pain was in the neck, so I understand).   The very next day, he calls and says “So, that chest X-ray shows there's a 4 inch mass on your heart and lungs, and your lungs have been filling up with fluid, as well as in your pericardial (heart) wall. We need you to come in tomorrow.”   Turns out the big mass, due to the accident, caused my heart and lungs to tear and fill with fluid, the swollen neck and gagging was caused by 2 metastasized tumors, and the fevers and weight loss were symptoms. Stage 4b Hodgkin's Lymphoma.   But thankfully, we went very aggressive with chemo (and had a lot of bad side effects that don't normally happen to patients), and now I'm about 16 months cancer-free. Yay lucky X-rays!

    • As a man, the reality of life is the harshest part. I don’t mind looking older or becoming weaker over time; it’s nature.   Have you ever heard that the only people who will be loved unconditionally are women and children? Men will only be loved as long as they can provide until they are no longer needed. It doesn’t matter if you already did your best to get your kids to the best school or get the best things for them, if you stop before they’re done with it, there will be no thank you. The only thing they will remember is that they have to quit school at 15, ignoring all the previous 15 years of life you provided for them. The only people who will accept you, no matter what, are your parents. But in this situation, you might be that ungrateful child.   EDIT: Wow, I didn’t think this would get so much attention.   For those who disagree, I can only say that everyone has their problem. If you don’t get the chance to face such a thing, be grateful.
