I follow my idea, step by step, putting code from here to there

 

I try to add the price at the last bar of the top/low only in the current day without success

 

Any suggestion is welcomed

 

var5 = High ;

var6 = Low ;

 

 

Value10 = Text_New(Date, Time, var5 , "High");

Value11 = Text_New(Date, Time, var6 , "Low");

 

text_SetLocation(Value10,date, time, var5);

text_SetLocation(Value11,date, time, var6);

 

Text_SetString(Value10, "High"+ NumToStr(var5, 2) );

Text_SetString(Value11, "Low" + NumToStr(var6, 2) );

You have to describe what is wrong or missing something.

I can't read your mind. :-(

 

try these ideas...

 

 

 

var5 = HighD ;

var6 = LowD ;

 

 

// make the HL text labels first... so that you can "move" them later!

 

if currentbar = 1 then

begin

Value10 = Text_New(Date, Time, var5 , "High");

Value11 = Text_New(Date, Time, var6 , "Low");

end;

 

 

// move the HL text labels to new location

 

text_SetLocation(Value10, date, time, var5);

text_SetLocation(Value11, date, time, var6);

 

Text_SetString(Value10, "High"+ NumToStr(var5, 2) );

Text_SetString(Value11, "Low" + NumToStr(var6, 2) );

...You have to describe what is wrong or missing something.

 

So my code was good and you've found what was "missing" !! :)

 

I don't find HighD LowD in the Multicharts User Guide...

 

Anyway It works fine with this

 

if currentbar = 1 then

begin

 

Multicharts User Guide

Currentbar

Returns the number of the current bar.

HighD is a function, not a keyword.

It is described in the EasyLanguage® Functions & Reserved Words Reference

 

If you go to the PowerEditor, look under functions, you can see the codes inside HighD.

 

 

 

 

HighD (Function)

 

 

The HighD series function allows you to reference the daily high of a previous day in an intraday chart (minute or tick-based) or a daily chart.

HighD is one of a family of functions that allows historical references across various data intervals.

 

 

Syntax

 

HighD(PeriodsAgo)

 

 

Returns (Double)

 

The daily high price from a specified number of days ago.

If the PeriodsAgo parameter is out of range (> 50), or

there is not enough data, the function will return –1.

 

 

Parameters

 

Name: PeriodsAgo

 

Type: Numeric

 

Description: Sets the number of days/periods back to reference a previous day’s high

price. (50 days back maximum) (0 = Today’s current high)

 

 

Remarks

 

You must have enough intraday data in the chart in order to look back and reference any previous daily high.

For example, if you want to look back at the high of 25 days ago on a 5-minute chart, you must have at least 26 full days of 5-minute bars in the chart.

 

The value for the PeriodsAgo input parameter should always be a whole number greater than or equal to 0, but less than 51.

Setting PeriodsAgo to 0 returns today’s current high.

 

 

Example

 

In order to place a short limit order at the High of the previous day you would write:

 

SellShort Next Bar at HighD(1) Limit;

If it could help

 

they are more information in TS help than in MC help

 

HighD is documented in TS 8.4 Easylanguage help.chm ( 3.5 Mo )

 

not in MC 5.0 Powerlanguage Help.chm ( only 0.2 Mo)

 

I've thought interesting to post here some info (autotranslated in English) founded on the net about

 

-Easy Langage (TradeStation '91)

versus

-PowerLangage (Multicharts '99)

 

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

 

Multicharts is on this day the most serious alternative in Tradestation.

 

It is indeed about a mini Tradestation, a real clone of this last but whose developments advance more quickly and that considers to really push the things more loins than its eldest especially.

 

Multicharts presents many assets. it offers a total connectivity in the first place to all fluxes of the market, including those of Tradestation Securities. But what makes its biggest strength that is the Power Language, a clone of the Easy Language permitting to import all your Tradestation scripts. Compatibility not being assured to 100% again, it subsists some instructions at the present time EL non holds in charge but nothing of blocking. Until now what I could not compile could be comfortably shaped.

 

Of the comparative tests between TS and Multicharts done on several Backtests, all based on the same data of TS Securities, showed some results 100% identical to the pips near. That it was about the trades, the prices, statistics presented in the reports or the Equity Curve, all is completely identical. To note that the shape of the reports is however different since Multicharts adopts a presentation inspired of the reports eSignal. There is not therefore to expect bad surprise when to the motor of backtesting.

 

That remains the "Tradestation Like" however therefore subject to the same limitations that this last. Out of the question for example to bring up systems of scalping since it is impossible to have knowledge of the book and to manage the investments of orders (Buy the Bid / Sell the offer), Multichart as TS emulates the executions merely and transmits them in Market Order to the next tick, that remained perfectly maladjusted to the trading high frequency and even less to the scalping on the future of indications or rates (for that a tool as SmartQuant permitting to place the orders really and to modify them to work the order book is adapted very more). Now for the intraday in 15 minutes or in Hourly that remained of very far the simplest of the solutions to put in work. To note however that a next version of Multicharts foresees to be able to place and to manage some orders already in place at the broker, what opens the way to a more sophisticated automation.

 

Multicharts especially puts the accent on the performances of calculations. From that point of view it surpasses Tradestation very extensively.

 

First of all the very architecture of the software is completely Multithreaded what permits to continue to work during an optimization or the calculation of a complex indicator. When you throw an optimization on Tradestation, you are blocked, useless to tempt to open another chart or to throw another calculation, its old and monolithic architecture blocks you completely. On Multicharts you can continue to browse your workspaces, to open new charts, to do other backtests, brief you continues to work as if of nothing was.

 

Then the use of the Multicore permits a gain of performances meaningful compared in Tradestation. I compared TS 8.2 and Multicharts 3.1 on the calculation of one of my personal indicators. I chose the most complex in term of time of calculations.

 

The Calculation is done on a portable Sony Vaio Core2Duo from a historic GBPUSD in bar 15 active min of 10/2002 at 31/05/2007. The historic descended TS has been imported on Multicharts:

 

Time of calculation

Tradestation 8.2 16:24 min

Multicharts 3.1 10:00 min

 

One notes that one passes of one time of calculation of 16 minutes and 24 seconds on TS to 10 minutes on Multicharts. The indicator's results are completely identical between the two softs, there is not artifice of calculation or mistake. Multicharts is therefore practically 40% faster than Tradestation on this simple test.

 

Those that wondered what interest it could have there to use Multicharts on a TS flux since in this case one has Tradestation as necessarily have just found here the answer.

 

Numerous improvements are to the program with in the first place a Speed increased from the Backfill of the local data (the big weak point of Multicharts). After some tests one notes a clean improvement effectively since henceforth the most recent data are displayed while the rest continues to be in charge (before it was necessary to be patient until the complete loading to have the last bars). The system seems to function by groups of 100 000 bars, it charges by pieces in some sorts. The remains together however again in values a little too elevated since it is necessary one minute before having a complete chart in 5 min on 5 years and half, either 324 000 bars (for the same period in 1h the time is the same). Optimizations can be brought again to this level.

    • How's about other crypto exchanges? Are all they banned in your country or only Binance?
    • Be careful who you blame.   I can tell you one thing for sure.   Effective traders don’t blame others when things start to go wrong.   You can hang onto your tendency to play the victim, or the martyr… but if you want to achieve in trading, you have to be prepared to take responsibility.   People assign reasons to outcomes, whether based on internal or external factors.   When traders face losses, it's common for them to blame bad luck, poor advice, or other external factors, rather than reflecting on their own personal attributes like arrogance, fear, or greed.   This is a challenging lesson to grasp in your trading journey, but one that holds immense value.   This is called attribution theory. Taking responsibility for your actions is the key to improving your trading skills. Pause and ask yourself - What role did I play in my financial decisions?   After all, you were the one who listened to that source, and decided to act on that trade based on the rumour. Attributing results solely to external circumstances is what is known as having an ‘external locus of control’.   It's a concept coined by psychologist Julian Rotter in 1954. A trader with an external locus of control might say, "I made a profit because the markets are currently favourable."   Instead, strive to develop an "internal locus of control" and take ownership of your actions.   Assume that all trading results are within your realm of responsibility and actively seek ways to improve your own behaviour.   This is the fastest route to enhancing your trading abilities. A trader with an internal locus of control might proudly state, "My equity curve is rising because I am a disciplined trader who faithfully follows my trading plan."

    • SELF IMPROVEMENT.   The whole self-help industry began when Dale Carnegie published How to Win Friends and Influence People in 1936. Then came other classics like Think And Grow Rich by Napoleon Hill, Awaken the Giant Within by Tony Robbins toward the end of the century.   Today, teaching people how to improve themselves is a business. A pure ruthless business where some people sell utter bullshit.   There are broke Instagrammers and YouTubers with literally no solid background teaching men how to be attractive to women, how to begin a start-up, how to become successful — most of these guys speaking nothing more than hollow motivational words and cliche stuff. They waste your time. Some of these people who present themselves as hugely successful also give talks and write books.   There are so many books on financial advice, self-improvement, love, etc and some people actually try to read them. They are a waste of time, mostly.   When you start reading a dozen books on finance you realize that they all say the same stuff.   You are not going to live forever in the learning phase. Don't procrastinate by reading bull-shit or the same good knowledge in 10 books. What we ought to do is choose wisely.   Yes. A good book can change your life, given you do what it asks you to do.   All the books I have named up to now are worthy of reading. Tim Ferriss, Simon Sinek, Robert Greene — these guys are worthy of reading. These guys teach what others don't. Their books are unique and actually, come from relevant and successful people.   When Richard Branson writes a book about entrepreneurship, go read it. Every line in that book is said by one of the greatest entrepreneurs of our time.   When a Chinese millionaire( he claims to be) Youtuber who releases a video titled “Why reading books keeps you broke” and a year later another one “My recommendation of books for grand success” you should be wise to tell him to jump from Victoria Falls.   These self-improvement gurus sell you delusions.   They say they have those little tricks that only they know that if you use, everything in your life will be perfect. Those little tricks. We are just “making of a to-do-list before sleeping” away from becoming the next Bill Gates.   There are no little tricks.   There is no success-mantra.   Self-improvement is a trap for 99% of the people. You can't do that unless you are very, very strong.   If you are looking for easy ways, you will only keep wasting your time forgetting that your time on this planet is limited, as alive humans that is.   Also, I feel that people who claim to read like a book a day or promote it are idiots. You retain nothing. When you do read a good book, you read slow, sometimes a whole paragraph, again and again, dwelling on it, trying to internalize its knowledge. You try to understand. You think. It takes time.   It's better to read a good book 10 times than 1000 stupid ones.   So be choosy. Read from the guys who actually know something, not some wannabe ‘influencers’.   Edit: Think And Grow Rich was written as a result of a project assigned to Napoleon Hill by Andrew Carnegie(the 2nd richest man in recent history). He was asked to study the most successful people on the planet and document which characteristics made them great. He did extensive work in studying hundreds of the most successful people of that time. The result was that little book.   Nowadays some people just study Instagram algorithms and think of themselves as a Dale Carnegie or Anthony Robbins.
