MultiCharts Coding

Recommended Posts

Hello,

 

I'm starting with MultiCharts and for my first programming exercise, I would like to generate a signal and an alert if the following conditions are present:

Condition1 =macd line >0

Condition2 = macd histogramme >0

Condition3 = price cross over upper bollinger band

 

Could you please help me to write this code ?

 

Is it an indicator or a signal or a function ???

 

Thanks in advance,

Getting Started with EasyLanguage

 

it is not a difficult book, but it does take time and patience to read.

the book is full of examples for all kinds of analysis.

I promise you, the payback will be in multifold.

 

 

I can help you to get from step 1 to step 2,

but you have to first get from step zero to step one.

Thank you Tams for your help.

 

I just finished studying the book, but I am unable to set an alarm between a bollinger band, a MACD and the price ...

This is not as "easy" as that ... :hmmmm:

 

This indicator took me 1 minute on ProRealTime, 10 minutes on NinjaTrader, and I fear it requires me 1 week on MC ... :embarassed:

 

So, what can I do ?

And is there any website where I could find some free indicators and strategy (exemple : pivot point, macd in color, etc, ...) ???

 

Thanks in advance !

I need a Real-Time Market Scanner and it seems to me that it does not exist in NinjaTrader ...

 

To schedule a simple strategy as (MACD> 0 and macdligne> 0 and price crossover BBup), where can I find help?

EasyLanguage is English like; it is easy to learn.

See the scribble you made? You already have 90% the strategy written!

Just combine the indicators and add your logic to the end...

and voila, you have your scanner !

 

Give it a try... you will be amazed at what you can do.

 

Good luck!

ok, but for exemple, I write :

 

if Close > BollingerBand(Close,12,2) and MACD(Close,12,26) > 0 then buy next bar at market ;

 

if Close < BollingerBand(Close,12,2) and MACD(Close,12,26) < 0 then sellshort next bar at market ;

 

But how can I use the macd line ??? I need to add a condition macd line > 0 for long and macd line < 0 for short and I found nothing ine the user manual..

 

Thanks in advance,

What format does Multicharts save easylanguage files in ? Is it ELD or something else ?

Paul

 

 

MultiCharts saves the indicators in a compiled file with PLA extension.

(vs pre-compile format of TS)

The two lines are the only code I use...

 

if Close > BollingerBand(Close,11,2) and MACD(Close,12,26) > 0 then plot1( 1, "test+" ) ;

if Close < BollingerBand(Close,11,-2) and MACD(Close,12,26) < 0 then plot2( -1, "test-" ) ;

 

I would write a warning indicator when the price breaks the bollinger band while the MACD is positive and the MACD histogram is positive ..

In this case, my dream is that the candle of the graph changes color and an alert sound.

So I can use this indicator in the Real-Time Market Scanner ...

 

As a first step, I need to understand how to use the MACD: how to retrieve the values of the MACD and the MACD histogram?

What is the instruction to change the color of the candle?

 

Thank you!

p.s. you are trying to jump from step zero to step 10 in one leap.

 

my suggestions:

 

I would not attempt to write buy/sell orders at the moment.

I would focus on technical skill first.

i.e. getting the indicator to plot a dot/line to illustrate your logic on the screen, so that you can visually verify your approach.

Otherwise it would just be GIGO.

I don't think you have finished reading the first chapter of the book.

 

You have to get yourself off Step Zero.

I can help you, but I will not write the code for you.

There are commercial services that can assist you if that's what you are looking for.

 

or, maybe others can chime in...

 

Have a nice day.

 

 

 

 

p.s. I don't think you could do that in 10 days with Ninja.

I am not looking for someone who write my code, but only to say me what EasyLanguage function I need to reach my target.

Because I have the "EasyLanguage Functions and Reserved Words Reference" but I'm not able to find for exemple how to use the macd line and the macd histogram... Because on page 216 of this reference manual, there is only few lines about macd function...

In the same way, I'm not able to find by myself what is the function I need to color the candle...

And all this is not on the first chapter of the "EL_Getting_Started" book :embarassed:

 

Have a nice days,

 

PS : I'm using currently alerts that I created with ninja wizard in minutes, without writing a word of code ;) ...

    • 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!

    • As a man, the reality of life is the harshest part. I don’t mind looking older or becoming weaker over time; it’s nature.   Have you ever heard that the only people who will be loved unconditionally are women and children? Men will only be loved as long as they can provide until they are no longer needed. It doesn’t matter if you already did your best to get your kids to the best school or get the best things for them, if you stop before they’re done with it, there will be no thank you. The only thing they will remember is that they have to quit school at 15, ignoring all the previous 15 years of life you provided for them. The only people who will accept you, no matter what, are your parents. But in this situation, you might be that ungrateful child.   EDIT: Wow, I didn’t think this would get so much attention.   For those who disagree, I can only say that everyone has their problem. If you don’t get the chance to face such a thing, be grateful.
