Hi-

I've looked all over I could not find any code for QuoteTracker.

 

If someone could forward me the QT code and/or Psuedo-code, i can try to code it and make it public as well.

 

Please help.

One that woudl display the current value, and then have alerts for the + - 8 would be awesome. it woudl be great to have it display both the sixty min and daily time frames as well. i often fade those time frames on the various currencies.

Tams,

please can you post teh code here.

 

Thank you.

 

 

no, I don't have the code... so I have nothing to post.

you need to do a bit more homework.

 

 

You asked if the code can be coverted to a system...

the answer is yes.

 

You asked if the system can be coded in ELD...

the answer is yes.

 

 

please see my post #109.

 

you need to do a bit more homework.

what you have posted in #107 is nice...

but does not say much about what, where, when and why.

I can help you with the "how".

Are there any special settings to get these to work (the ones available for free from the tradethemarket.com site)?

 

I have installed the ELD and also the workspaces per instructions.

 

TTM DDF Automatic works perfectly. However, The TTM DDF Value Chart never appears (although you can see it is inserted into the chart window). I have attached a chart.

 

Any help is appreciated.

 

can you please tell me the name of the indicator on the price in this picture creating support resistance?

 

thanks

regards

I have been using this indicator for several weeks, but still can't make a good exit strategy for it. As we all know, open the trade when +-8 on value chart, but how did you close the position ? Any suggestion ? By the way , i have read the book "Dynamic trading indicators" The author just use 25 and 75 MA cross to close the position, but i think it's too rough.

Hi

 

Thanks for posting this code its a really handy indicator, I was wondering if someone could help me mod the code please, i would like the bars that's are above or below 8 to change colour to red or green.

 

If the bar is -8 or lower i would like it green and if its +8 or higher i would like it red

 

I would appreciate any help

I guess this is the line of code that draws the bar so i would need to bod or write some code to change the colour of this it can stay gray until + or -8

 

DrawLine("Tag1" + CurrentBar, true, 0, ValueHi(), 0, ValueLo(), Color.Gray, DashStyle.Solid,4);

 

Thanks in advance

If this is the same ELD file that I have (bound to be - the programmer eKam mentioned in the thread rings a bell), then to view the calculations the indicator performs, take the following steps:

 

- Open the EL Development environment from the TS 'View' dropdown menu.

 

- Select 'open'.

 

- In the drop down, select 'Functions'

 

- Find the relevant 'VChart' function file and open it.

 

And now you're looking at the Value Chart calculation. The link to the Stendahl article is a useful intro, however there are almost certainly better ways of using it than those he suggests (ironic, seeing as he's the creator!).
