ADE - All Data Everywhere (EasyLanguage)

ADE - All Data Everywhere

 

Introduction

 

The “All Data Everywhere” library (or ADE for short) is a set of EasyLanguage functions and indicators that allow you to store any kind of data for any symbol and bar interval.

You can then access that data from any study or strategy, regardless of the symbol or bar interval.

 

One powerful use for ADE is to store higher timeframe data for a symbol and then access that data from a lower timeframe.

For example, you can calculate and store ADX and RSI for a 30 minute chart, and then you can access that data from a 5 minute chart.

 

Another powerful use for ADE is to look at data for other symbols.

You can use ADE to store data (OHLC, volume, indicators, etc) for an entire portfolio of symbols, and then you can access the data for any symbol from any other symbol. This makes it possible to perform analyses that depend on the relationships between different symbols in your portfolio.

 

ADE includes the ability to save data to text files and load it back.

This means that you can pre-calculate and store data for any symbols and timeframes you want, and you can retrieve that data whenever you want.

For example, you can store five years of data for a 30 minute MSFT chart. If you open a 30 minute MSFT chart with only one month of data, your study or strategy can load the five years of historical data and append only the new data. It is not necessary to recalculate the entire five years every time.

 

Installation instructions and sample indicators are provided in the zip file.

 

 

note: ADE uses the ELCollections library, so you must install ELCollections before you install ADE. Also, taking the time to learn how ELCollections works will allow you to make the most of ADE.

After installation, look under c: \program files\ADE for

 

All Data Everywhere.doc (manual)

 

and

OK, Let's go !!

 

The setup creates a C:\ADE

 

Modify the function to return the directory you are using, and then verify the function. For example, if you are using E:\ADE as your ADE root directory, you would change the function as follows: ADE.Directory = “E:\ADE”;

 

So we can move this directory (better at my opinion to free the precious C:\ )

 

Here are

 

All Data Everywhere.pdf

 

And the list of 123 Fonctions (66 are already imported - from Collections ?) + 5 indicators imported with ELCollections.eld (Compilation takes a long time)

 

After have reading (quickly) the doc, it looks a great tools...

 

it's nice from Tams to share all his tools with us.

If you have access to the TradeStation forum, can you get the following?

 

The “TypeZero Sync” library, which contains several indicators,

including the “TZU Save OHLCV” indicator which saves OHLCV data for TypeZero bars.

 

 

TIA

ThanX Tams for the clean explanation

 

If I'm right ; Collections extracts data in background and ADE imports them in an other graph/time ?

 

If so, Collections is the engine and ADE the layer ?

more information on TypeZero Library

 

 

 

The "TypeZero Sync" framework (TZS) allows you to synchronize data between tick or volume charts with the same symbol and bar type but a different bar interval. For example, you can synchronize a 100 tick chart and a 300 tick chart, or you can synchronize a 1000 share chart and a 5000 share chart. It's even possible to syncrhonize charts where one bar interval is not a direct multiple of the other. Currently the framework only supports a chart with a lower interval retrieving data for a higher interval. This seems to be the typical setup that people want to use.

 

The TZS framework uses my All-Data-Everywhere library, version 1.07 or later. You must install ELCollections 1.03 and ADE 1.07 before you install TypeZero Sync.

 

Note that if you want to work with ADE and TypeZero bars (tick and volume bars), you almost certainly need to install the TypeZero Sync library as well, since it will allow you to correctly synchronize data between different charts.

 

Here are the instructions for using the TZS framework. Please read and follow them carefully, since you must set things up correctly in order for the framework to work properly.

 

1. Set up each chart that you want to synchronize so that the first bar on the chart is at the start of a session. This just means that the range should be set with Days/Months/Years Back or with First Date, rather than with Bars Back. Don't ever use the Bars Back range setting with the TypeZero Sync framework!!!

 

2. Apply the "! TZS Setup Sync" indicator to each chart involved in synchronization (both sender and receiver). Check the "Prompt for Format" box and make sure that the Interval input is set correctly -- e.g. it should be ADE.TickBarV(BarInterval) for tick bars using trade volume, and ADE.VolBarV(BarInterval) for volume bars using trade volume. The indicator is named with a ! at the start to ensure that it comes first in the indicator list. Indicators that use TypeZero Sync should always be named so that they come after the "! TZS Setup Sync" indicator.

 

3. Apply the indicator that saves data to the higher-interval chart. To save OHLCV data, use the "TZU Save OHLCV" indicator. Again, make sure the Interval input contains the appropriate TypeZero interval function for the chart.

 

4. Apply the indicator that consumes the higher-interval data to the lower-interval chart. Check the "Prompt for Format" box and enter the appropriate function calls for ThisInterval and ThatInterval. ThisInterval refers to the interval for the current chart, and ThatInterval refers to the higher interval. You can always pass BarInterval to the function used for ThisInterval (e.g. ADE.VolBarV(BarInterval)), but you will need to specify the correct interval for the higher interval (e.g. ADE.VolBarV(5000)).

 

That's it!

 

When you write an indicator that uses the TypeZero Sync framework, you should call the TZS.SyncBarID function to get the correct BarID for the higher interval. Pass the function the ThisInterval and ThatInterval inputs that have been specified for the indicator. See the "TZU Bollinger Bands" indicator for an example of how to use this function.

 

Do not call the ADE.OnNextBar function when using the TypeZero Sync framework. Instead, save the previous BarID into PrevBarID before calling TZS.SyncBarID. After the call, check whether the BarID has changed (BarID <> PrevBarID) and only perform your higher interval logic if it has. Again, the "TZU Bollinger Bands" indicator provides an example of this.

 

I've provided a couple example workspaces that show the framework in action. The "TZU Plot OHLCV Demo" workspace provides a visual demo of bar synchronization. The "TZU Bollinger Bands Demo" workspace shows how to plot Bollinger Bands from a higher bar interval. Note that the "! TZS Setup Sync" and "TZU Save OHLCV" indicators in these workspaces could be hidden to reduce clutter, but I've left them visible so you can easily see how the charts are set up.

 

In my testing I've found that the framework works best in real time if the sending and receiving charts are in different workspaces (with the senders first). In fact, it *must* be done this way if the receiver is a strategy, since strategies will calculate before indicators in the same workspace. Thus, I recommend using different workspaces for senders and receivers. I've included senders and receivers in the same workspace for the demos because it makes it easier to compare the two charts.

 

You may wonder why you need to apply the "! TZS Setup Sync" indicator rather than just calling a function in your own indicator. There's actually a very important reason for this. In order for the sync setup to work correctly, the MaxBarsBack *must* be zero, so that it picks up session activity (volume or ticks) from the very first bar of the session. The only way to guarantee this is to specify a MaxBarsBack of zero for the indicator. Since many if not most indicators and strategies will employ a lookback, using a separate indicator for the sync setup seemed like the best solution. (Even if your indicator doesn't employ a lookback, if you let TS determine MaxBarsBack automatically, it will skip the first bar on the chart. Did you know that? You have to manually specify zero for MaxBarsBack if you want to get the first bar on the chart.) Because the sync setup is performed by a separate indicator, you can employ a lookback in your own indicators and strategies if you need to.

 

The TypeZero Sync library provides the following indicators for you to use and study:

 

TZU Bollinger Bands

TZU Exp Mov Avg

TZU Keltner Channel

TZU Linear Reg Curve

TZU Mov Avg Line

TZU Plot OHLCV

TZU Save OHLCV

 

Note: The demo workspaces use the @ES.D symbol, so they'll require a real-time data subscription for the CME e-minis.

An issue was discovered with reading TypeZero data from ADE data files (in the ADE\Data directory). This issue could cause duplicate bars to be stored in memory and then saved back to the data files.

 

Note that this issue applies only to TypeZero bars, not time-based bars. Also, it only occurs if you have set the UseFile input to true for one of the TypeZero indicators (e.g. TZU Save OHLCV, ! TZS Setup Sync). The UseFile input for these indicators is false by default (even if ADE.UseFile is true). If you have not saved TypeZero data to data files, then you will not have been affected by this issue.

 

The problem was the result of a very subtle difference in the results of BarID calculations in EasyLanguage and C++. Almost all of the ADE code is written in EasyLanguage, but there are a few helper functions in the ELCollections DLL which are used to improve the performance of reading and writing data files. This is where the problem occurred. Again, this was only happening with TypeZero bars, not time-based bars.

 

I have corrected the problem and posted a new version of ELCollections (1.04). Only the DLL is different from the previous version. Please download the new version and put the updated DLL in your TradeStation Program directory.

 

You do not need to update your ADE code to fix this problem; only the DLL needs to be updated.

 

Important: If you have saved any TypeZero data files in your ADE\Data directory, you should delete them and create them again after installing the new DLL.

I am just catching up on this very interesting thread (and related to multi time frame indicators eg New TTM Squeeze and Drummond geometry).

 

For clarification is this add on only for TS as opposed to multicharts? Is that because multicharts is capable of this analysis already?

 

Regards

 

Ian

Hi Tams, thanks for the info on ADE do you know if this will also work for Prosuite 2000i?

cheers

 

 

 

I believe so, but I haven't tried.

I am looking for code in ADE that will plot point and figure charts in Tradestation. I am interested in purchasing the code that will do this. Any help in directing me to find this is greatly appreciated. The reason I want this, I create my own index of stocks in TS, putting 7 stocks together and plotting it as one open,high,low,close bar chart. The problem is this index is an indicator and the P&F option in TS cannot be applied to an indicator. I export this index data into Excel, reformat it as a text file(.csv) and import it back into TS as a third party symbol. The example of the Semiconductor Index in ADE is great, but the standard P&F option in Tradestation will not work on this. So, code for plotting P&F in ADE is needed to accomplish this and I do not know how to write code for this, but am willing to pay for it. Specifically, allowing one box reversals with X's and O's in the same column, just like TS allows this option.

could i use ADE with RENKO charts ?

 

did you have last ADE ?

 

can't use tradestation forum, I works with multicharts64

 

thanks for your reply

    • Date: 28th March 2024. The US Dollar Strengthens As Economists Believe The ECB Will Struggle To “Hold”. Early this morning, the Fed Governor advised “there is no rush to cut rates” and “the data within the upcoming months” will be vital. The US Dollar Index rises to a 1-month high. The value of the USD will largely be based on today’s data on economic growth, consumer sentiment and pending home sales. Dollar and index traders are closely monitoring tomorrow’s Core PCE Price Index which analysts expect will read 0.3%. A higher inflation reading can potentially pressure stocks and support the Dollar. Strong declines in NVIDIA and Netflix stocks pressured the NASDAQ on Wednesday. Though, buyers entered late in the session to boost the overall price. EURUSD The latest comments from members of the Federal Reserve are supporting the US Dollar. The forward guidance between members of the Federal Reserve is mainly not aligned. The Chairman advises the Fed does not need much more proof for the regulator to feel comfortable reducing rates. Whereas the Fed Governor, Mr Waller, advises there is no rush, and he wants to see a few months of data before determining the next move. Therefore, the upcoming inflation and employment data will remain vital and could even push back rate hikes further. According to economists, the Federal Reserve will cut the interest rate on 3 occasions this year, but the timing of the first cut is less certain and may change depending on upcoming data. A positive factor for traders is that EURUSD exchange is not witnessing conflicting currencies. The US Dollar is trading 0.12% higher while the Euro is declining against most currencies. The Euro is trading 0.06% lower against the Pound and the Canadian Dollar and 0.16% lower against the Japanese Yen. Yesterday, the head of the Bank of Italy, Mr Cipollone, said that the authorities were confident that inflation would return to the target of 2.0% by mid–2025. He also supports the lower of interest rate and will use this as a basis for adjusting monetary policy. The Euro is generally under pressure as investors believe the European Central Bank will struggle to avoid cuts if the Fed decide to delay their adjustments. The US Dollar will be influenced by four major economic data releases. The US Final GDP, Weekly Unemployment Claims, Pending Home Sales and Consumer Sentiment Index. If these read higher than expectations with the weekly unemployment claims dropping, the US Dollar is likely to witness further support. However, investors should note the main release will be tomorrow’s Core PCE Price Index. Traders are expecting no major news for Europe and volatility levels may fall tomorrow as European markets are closed for Easter. Technical analysis currently points towards a continued downward trend. The price is trading below the neutral on the RSI and below the 75-Bar EMA. However, investors should note this will also be dependent on upcoming US data. USA100 The price of the USA100 was under pressure throughout the whole US session but was saved by an increased volume of buyers late in the session. However, a positive point is the components held onto their value. Even though the index fell in value, only 28% of the components declined. Investors will now turn their attention towards tomorrow’s PCE Price Index and the upcoming earnings season which will start in mid-April. The price is now trading slightly above the Moving Averages but slightly below the 50.00 on the RSI. Therefore, technical analysis remains at the “neutral” level and continues to indicate a larger price range. If today’s economic data is positive the stock market can witness confidence and support as this continues to indicate a soft landing. Though, if the data is too strong, it could also trigger a hawkish Fed which is known to be negative for the USA100. Always trade with strict risk management.
