Easy Language - Help with Simple System

Recommended Posts

I luuurv EL it really is ...well easy. There is a downloadable reference guide on TS site somewhere. Another advantage is there is a huge wealth of public domain code you can cannibalise.

 

What I'd do is open up a couple of TS studies and see how they work. Start with a simple moving average or whatever takes your fancy. You might have to look a couple of things up but you'll be knocking out simple studies in no time.

 

Cheers.

I know you have coded up some indicators in the past and posted them freely on this forum and for that I thank you for your generosity. I do have a simple EL question for you. How would one store the opening 60 min high and low as a variable to be used for other calculations? Thanks in advance.

 

What is it you need doing? ( You can send it by PM if you want )

 

Cheers

if you are using an hourly chart you could say "if date<>date[1] then..." and then save the high and low of this bar using whatever variables you want.

This is just a way of identifying the first bar of the session.

another route is to declare a name for a variable like this (on 60-min chart):

 

vars: aa(0), bb(0);

 

if time=1030 then aa=high;

if time=1030 then bb=low;

----

then you can reference aa or bb in further code.

 

 

or for 30-min chart:

 

vars: aa(0), bb(0);

 

if time=1030 then aa=highest(h,2);

if time=1030 then bb=lowest(l,2);

 

etc...

-----

depending on further code, sometimes may have to write as:

 

if time=1030 then aa=high else aa=0;

Thanks bh_trade

 

Yes, it would be as waveslider mentioned on his post if your using an hourly chart, or alternatively if your using a smaller timeframe chart, then putting an "endtime" as input would be easy enough for you.

 

Here's an example of the code you would need.

 

Inputs:

endtime (1030);

 

Vars:

HH(0),LL(0);

 

if date<>date[1] then begin

HH = high;

LL = Low;

end;

 

if time <= endtime then begin

if high > HH then HH = High;

if Low < LL then LL = Low;

end;

 

Hope this helps

Thanks to both Blu-Ray and Waveslider for responding. Blu-Ray, I was looking to access the first hour highs and lows on a lower timeframe chart, so your solution was the one I was looking for - thanks again.
