Array_GetMaxIndex + Array_SetMaxIndex

Recommended Posts

i have recently installed the old version of TradeStation, the 2000i and i am not able

to find both functions/reserved words

 

Array_GetMaxIndex

Array_SetMaxIndex

 

they do not seem to be a reserved word or function in this version of TradeStation.

 

i would apreciate it if anyone here could post both functions as text or let me know

if there is another way to reduce the number of index places inside an array after they

have been verified. i could program the Array_GetMaxIndex myself but i am not sure how

to handle the other one

how to get around it and still be able to increase or decrease the amount of indexplaces

inside an existing array,

is my observation correct that they did not exist yet in ts2ki version?

 

it does have the functions NthHighest_A and others but i am trying to find

the place where the second largest or N-largest number is stored inside an existing array

not the number itself but the indexplace.

 

does this TS version have any other way to find the amount of values stored in an

array?

 

lets say i have an array which has stored 50 values, then i am using NthHighestArray( MyArray, 50, 3 ) to find

the 3th highest number in that array.this 3th highest number i would like to change in another number, therefore i do need to know the

place where this 3th highest number is stored in order to be able to change it.

depending on your time value of money...

MultiCharts might be cheaper

 

 

 

or is it the money value of your time :missy:

 

another platform is not an option, i am not here to discuss what software to use but rather

to find out how to solve this in this old ts version.

 

i have used another easy language compatible software which i am not using anymore for various reasons up till last month and this was a pretty easy task,

i find it hard to believe it cant be done even in an older version of tradestation.

 

if you do not see another way how i could do what i would like to do in this version of

ts just let me know.

tought i keep you updated.

 

i have found solutions for both isues, finding out where exactly the n-highest

or n-lowest value is stored wasnt to hard.i have codet an function to do the work.

no need for multi-charts or any other software ;)

 

i now am able to change the N-highest value within an array

MyArray[ IndexOfNHighestArray( MyArray, N, ArraySize ) ] = anything;

 

i believe i even found a tricky way to decrease or increase the indices within an

existing array, this one i am still working on.

 

if there is any interest from other 2000i users i will post the scripts later on

hi dutchmen,

 

can I ask you where you figured out these reserved words, I am looking for some kind of a good reference (or ideally a full tutorial) for 'arrays in easylanguage' and don't know where to go?

sure,

i meself couldnt emagine any script anymore without using a couple of arrays,

they just seem to make life easier once you have a feeling for them. i use tradestation

for the first time.in my old software they where called "vectors" amd werent as easy to

use once you would like to fill a array with a certain value; hence the reason for testing

tradestation now.

 

here a pdf file,

type in "array" and let it guide yo trough all the examples

https://www.tradestation.com/support/books/pdf/EL_FunctionsAndReservedWords_Ref.pdf

 

if you consider yourself a rooky, try looking on this webpage tutorial nr.7

Hallo flyingdutchman,

I am very interested in your TradeStation2000i solution for the array functions: Array_GetMaxIndex + Array_SetMaxIndex.

Can you please post them on the forum or send them to me by e-mail?

Thank you very much in advance.

    • 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.
