DMI Crossover for Charts, Radarscreen

[clbradley 10]

Hey. I'm trying to find a code for a positive and negative DMI cross that will show on charts and in Radarscreen and show how many bars ago they crossed long or short like with this code in the thread for CrossoverMA:

 

https://www.tradestation.com/Discussions/Topic.aspx?Topic_ID=78248

 

Hopefully this thread and open code there for MA and EMA crossovers and how many bars ago they crossed and whether it's long or short, all showing on charts and in Radarscreen, will help others as well. Please post the pos./neg. DMI Crossover code where you can see the crossovers on a chart and also screen in Radarscree for ADX in the same area of Radarscreen to see if the trend is strong or weak for stocks or ETFs, and open code so one can change the input numbers for DMIs and ADX numbers (my #s are sped up and not usual 14,25), and show long or short x number of bars ago if they crossed like with the MA/EMA crossover in the thread above. Thanks.

some of us might be able to help but don't have access to TS's forums. Might get some better responses if you would post some code.

Here's the MA Crossover for Radarscreen code for Tradestation. Works great at showing when and how many bars ago a stock has crossed over, I'd use it on an intraday timeframe interval when one has just recently crossed to try and enter a trade. Am looking for a similar code for DMI cross with ADX in the code to see how strong or weak the trend is. MA Crossover code, giving credit to author at top:

 

{

Indicator: _CrossOverMA

 

Purpose: on chart: shows fast and slow moving averages

on radarscreen: shows price, fast and slow moving averages,

and number of bars since MA crossover has occurred

 

Note in RS: sort BarsLong in descending order to see all stocks that just recently had Long Trigger

sort BarsShort in descending order to see all stocks that just recently had Short Trigger

input:

Price(close),

FastLength(12),

SlowLength(26),

FastPhase(0),

SlowPhase(0),

UpColor(green),

DnColor(red);

 

var:

FastMA(0),

SlowMA(0),

RS(False),

Dir(0), // trade direction

BarsLong(100), // bars since Long trigger

BarsShort(100); // bars since Short trigger

 

once RS = GetAppInfo(aiApplicationType) = 2; // check if Radarscreen

 

 

FastMA = AverageFC(Price, FastLength); // test with simple moving average so others can try

SlowMA = AverageFC(Price, SlowLength);

 

If Dir = 1 then BarsLong = BarsLong + 1;

if Dir = -1 then BarsShort = BarsShort + 1;

 

if RS then Plot1(Price,"Price");

Plot2(FastMA,"Fast MA");

Plot3(SlowMA, "Slow MA");

 

if FastMA crosses over SlowMA then begin

BarsLong = 0;

Dir = 1;

if RS then begin // radarscreen

SetPlotColor(1, black);

SetPlotBGColor(1, UpColor);

end else begin

SetPlotColor(1, UpColor); // chart

end;

end;

 

If FastMA crosses under SlowMA then begin

BarsShort = 0;

Dir = -1;

if RS then begin // radarscreen

SetPlotColor(1, black);

SetPlotBGColor(1, DnColor);

end else begin // chart

SetPlotColor(1, DnColor);

end;

end;

 

if RS then begin

if Dir = 1 then begin

Plot4(BarsLong,"Bars Long", black);

SetPlotBGColor(4, UpColor);

end;

 

if Dir = -1 then begin

Plot5(BarsShort,"Bars Short", black);

SetPlotBGColor(5, DnColor);

end;

end;

 

 

Thanks for any help to convert it to a DMI crossover code, with ADX number shown in Radarscreen as well. Have been looking for this all week. Thanks again.

I dont have TS or RaderScreen, but couldnt you just change out where it says:

FastMA = AverageFC(Price, FastLength); // test with simple moving average so others can try

SlowMA = AverageFC(Price, SlowLength);

 

to the DMI+ and DMI- logic? And then find where it says FastMA and and SlowMa and change that to whatever you name the DMI+/DMI-

I'll try that, thanks but think it's a lot more to it....thanks again.
