[derek2209 10]

Hello,

 

Would anyone be kind enough the convert the mq4 formula for the

Sling Range into Tradestation Code

Hoping that you can oblige

Thank you in advance

Derek

Hello

 

Below is a Link for a screensot of the Sliding Range Indicator:

Hi

 

Inputs:
Period(5);

vars:
MidLine(0),UpperBand(0),LowerBand(0);

UpperBand=Average(Highest(High,Period),Period);
LowerBand=Average(Lowest(Low,Period),Period);
MidLine=(UpperBand+LowerBand)/2;

Plot1(MidLine,"MidLine");
if MidLine >= MidLine[1] then setplotcolor(1,Cyan) else setplotcolor(1,red);

Plot2(UpperBand,"UpperBand",LightGray);
Plot3(LowerBand,"LowerBand",DarkGray);

 

Derek

It's a junk indicator Derek ! Your better off using the vma rainbow.

Look and works like junk tried on my Hotforex platform and once again got a proof that there is no better than simple but effective price action.

Some end of year thoughts on trading using priceseries *

 

Consciously, ‘PAv’ traders are categorically NOT able to trade with oscillators (/ indicators). (Note that ‘consciously’ part - because unconsciously every single one of them is creating and using ‘indicators’ in the background.)

 

Real oscillators traders can categorically NOT (consciously) trade with PA. (Note that ‘consciously’ part - because unconsciously every single one of them is attempting to process PA on the fly.)

 

Point is - Both modes are always going / functioning.

 

“Find your own way” zdo. Find out which one you are best suited for, make that one dominant and develop it that fully... Let the other one be recessive.

 

If you’re a PA trader, don’t fool yourself into total rejection of oscillators. And by the same token, if you’re an oscillators trader, don’t be swayed by the preaching of PA traders to completely exclude oscillators trading. Find out which one you are best suited for, develop that fully... and then you might be free to consciously include and accommodate certain aspects from the other one.

 

...

 

PA traders do notice and repeatedly announce an important ‘weakness’ of indicators. Stock indicators don’t ‘work’. :rofl:

Yep, statistically out the box at best they produce ( with ‘costs, a slightly negative) wash... ie the ‘sample runs’ where they outperform do not offset the ‘sample runs’ where they underperform, etc. **

...

 

The key word here is “stock”.

 

There are (only?) three ways to overcome this weakness of stock indicators.

1 ‘Skew’ the indicator calculations to match the ‘slope’ (and travel, etc) of the auctions.

2 Learn to ‘wetware skew’ the reading of the indicator to match the ‘slope’ (etc) of the auctions.

3 Type the auctions to know when and when NOT to apply an indicator

 

ie You got to know when and how to "harm squiggly lines" (sorry TRO for appropriating your apt phrase... )

 

 

Wishing all ya'll wonderful holidays and a happy solstice in exactly one minute !!!!

*instead of non price / fundamental / narrative information

 

**:haha: Unfortunately, PA traders can't go about as readily acknowledging the equivalent real world statistics of 'out the box' PA... ie don't get it that both modes are always going / functioning.

Thanks for input and yes every trader should find something that works exclusively for him, trading is about a battle where know-how's try to outperform each other.
