Quick Question About Tradestation Indicators

Recommended Posts

Hello,

 

I just wrote one of my first working indicators in TradeStation (its a very simple pivot point indicator) However, my question is ... Tradestation always puts the value of the indicator on the price axis, does anyone know how to get rid of this? (The green circled values in the picture are what I'm talking about)

 

I tried in the "Format Analysis Techniques" section and disabled the "Display Update Indication" option but it doesnt work.

 

Anyone else have any luck getting rid of these indicator values?

 

Thanks

 

Travis

Thank for the speedy response ... Though, when I change the scale to "no axis" it changes the value of the indicator. I tried on a standard indicator (not written by me) and on my pivot points. They both changed values...

 

Am I just doing something wrong?

 

Thanks again, I really appreciate the help thus far :)

I'll attach pictures so you can see what I mean. The first is with scaling, and the second is without.

You were on the right track. You have to do that for each plot and it looks like you have several.

 

You really can't use scaling to no axis and expect a correct value because the plots will be 'floating' with respect to the symbol.

I know you're looking to fix your scaling issue but I use a plot cycle average that is similar. It might help...? It definitely shows the zero point of the market for whatever resolution you're looking at. It's not a stand alone solution but in the photo it looks like it could be! But, I use MAs, S&R, Murray Math and pivots to determine high probability trades. There's two lengths of the average is in the 2nd pane (lower), the cyan and yellow stair stepping lines. I look for confluence between two of my criteria in order to get in. See how price retraced to the yellow average (on bottom chart) and murray math agreed (long wick in overnight session). Also on the 5 min chart on top price retraced to the MA and murray math also agreed! Best of luck!

    • 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.
