Any Trough Function in Multicharts ??

Recommended Posts

hi , I am a newbie in MC . I used metastock before .

When in metastock , there was a function call trough value .

It can let me set to alert , eg , a dropping moving average stop dropping and then move upward when the downward and upward movement reached the extent I set , eg 2% , something like that .

There is a opposite peak function too .

 

I cannot find it after I browsed throughly in the keyword help , or MC used other name to label it ? Thanks .

check out the 'pivot' function and derived SwingHigh and SwingLow

 

Also there is an indicator called ZigZag that may have been ported over from TS to MC which will do your %'s

hello , Zdo and other member .

I can find the indicators you said , pivot & swing , but when I tried to know more about it and open the help file but cannot find the it . I am using MC version 5 (latest update ) . I go through the pdf manual but cannot find them too .

 

How can I know more about the syntax of it if I want to .

There are ebook to learn easylanguage but are for TS only .

Sad that it is hard to find one in MC . The pdf manual of MC is very insufficient .

 

thanks in advance .

There is a wealth of information on TS and MC. In general, MC is 95% compatible with TS and for your purposes, the tutorials should apply. Open the indicators and study the code. It may help other readers if you actually describe in detail how the original "trough value" Metastock function is coded.

In fact I have most of them but just cannot find some useful descriptions about pivot . I missed the last one about the reserved words of EL .This is one I should have .

I got the pages now and I will take a look . Wish I can get the solution I wanted .

    • Question: To those that had/have cancer, what were the signs that made you think “something is not right here” to make you go see a doctor? Answer: So, 5/25/2018, I woke up, got ready for work, and as I walked to my car, I started gagging. Like something was stuck in my throat and I needed to clear it. And then it went away.   But 10 minutes after that, I was T-boned at 40mph on the driver side door. But what made me see a doctor was while my muscles felt better and bruises were going away, the gagging still continued, I started having fevers, my neck felt swollen, I was having such a hard time breathing, and I'd have random sharp pains in my chest, but not from where the seat belt saved me.   2 weeks after the accident, I finally see an urgent care doctor, who looks me over, tells me I'm fine, but luckily requests a neck X-ray. And I ask for a chest X-ray, which he rolls his eyes but let me have (most of my pain was in the neck, so I understand).   The very next day, he calls and says “So, that chest X-ray shows there's a 4 inch mass on your heart and lungs, and your lungs have been filling up with fluid, as well as in your pericardial (heart) wall. We need you to come in tomorrow.”   Turns out the big mass, due to the accident, caused my heart and lungs to tear and fill with fluid, the swollen neck and gagging was caused by 2 metastasized tumors, and the fevers and weight loss were symptoms. Stage 4b Hodgkin's Lymphoma.   But thankfully, we went very aggressive with chemo (and had a lot of bad side effects that don't normally happen to patients), and now I'm about 16 months cancer-free. Yay lucky X-rays!
