ARW_new (MultiCharts)

Recommended Posts

This thread is about drawing an arrow on the chart. (MultiCharts enhanced EasyLanguage)

 

 

 

Arw_New

 

Displays an object, consisting of an up or a down arrow located at the specified bar and specified price value, on the chart that the study is based on; returns an object-specific ID number, required to modify the object.

 

Usage

 

Arw_New (BarDate, BarTime, PriceValue, Direction)

 

Parameters

 

BarDate - a numerical expression specifying the date of the bar at which the object is to be placed;

the date is indicated in the YYYMMdd format,

where YYY is the number of years since 1900,

MM is the month,

and dd is the day of the month

 

BarTime - a numerical expression specifying the time of the bar at which the object is to be placed;

the time is indicated in the 24-hour HHmm format, where 1300 = 1:00 PM

 

PriceValue - a numerical expression specifying the price value (vertical position,

corresponding to a value on the price scale of a chart), where the object is to be placed

 

Direction - a logical expression specifying the direction of the arrow;

True = Down and False = Up

 

Example

 

Place, on the chart that the study is based on, an up arrow at the top of a bar if the Open price has increased incrementally over the last three bars:

 

If Open>Open[1] And Open[1]>Open[2] Then

Value1 = Arw_New(Date, Time, High, False);

 

----------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

Arw_New_self

 

Displays the arrow on the SubChart.

Tams, It's nice to extract such interesting possibilitie

 

May I ask a question ?

 

After that avg.st crossed above avg.lt how to compute x points above the X and draw an other arrow?

 

Pseudo Code

 

if avg.st crosses above avg.lt = OK

 

if price > (OK + 3 points) then

id.arw = ARW_new(date, time, OK + 3 points [1], false);

 

if price > (OK + 5 points) then

id.arw = ARW_new(date, time, OK + 5 points [1], false);

each ID can only be used once per bar.

if you want another arrow on the same bar, you have to define another ID.

 

e.g.

var:

id.arw2(-1);

 

id.arw2 = ARW_new(date, time, OK + 3 points [1], false);

Nonono sir

It's my fault = my explanations are always complicates :haha:

Is it Better with a graph ?

 

 

a picture is worth a thousand words... ;-)

 

 

the logic should be:

if avg.st crosses above avg.lt then OK = avg.lt;

 

 

 

for targets, it is better to use trendlines. (ie horizontal line)

This one looks logical but doesn't work

 

Please, Show me the way to the next (whisky bar) step :confused:

 

input:
st.length(	20	),
lt.length(	50	), 
arw.size(	18	);

var:
avg.st(	0	),
avg.lt(	0	),
id.arw(	-1	),

OK(		0	),
Sell.1(		0	),
id.arw2(	0	);

avg.st = averagefc(close, st.length);
avg.lt = averagefc(close, lt.length);

plot1( avg.st, "avg.st");
plot2( avg.lt, "avg.lt");

if avg.st crosses above avg.lt then 
	OK = avg.lt ;
if Sell.1 = (OK + 3 points) then
	id.arw2 = ARW_new(date, time, highest( high, 1 ), true );	
		   ARW_setsize( id.arw2 , arw.size   	);

you have to write out your thought process...

 

write them out:

-- one action at a time,

-- one action per sentence,

-- one sentence per line...

 

 

 

you can give this code a try...

 

I have drawn the trendlines for you,

you can decide on how/where to position the arrow.

This algorythm is really a master piece of logic :thumbs up: (at my modest level)

 

I should have not be able to do it but I understand 100 % of the progression

 

It reminds me the lighted maths school hours.

 

I'm so happy !!! :)

    • 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.
