VPCI As PaintBar

Recommended Posts

What I have below is what I had hoped to be the firs step in making VPCI into a PaintBar Study....it will verify, but just paints every bar.

 

The end result was supposed to be GREEN colored vbars for when VPCI is greater than Ave VPCI (or VPCI Smooth) AND greater than Zero.

 

RED when VPCI is less than VPCI Smooth AND less than zero.

 

WHITE or not painted when VPCI and its relation to zero are not in sync.

 

I am new as can be at this and am hoping someone can point me in the right direction.

 

Thank You.

 

 

 

inputs:

Price( Close ),

Length1( 5 ),

Length2( 20 ),

VPCIAvgLen( 20 ) ;

 

variables:

VolValue( 0 ),

VolumeSum1( 0 ),

VolumeSum2( 0 ),

VWMA1( 0 ),

VWMA2( 0 ),

VP( 0 ),

VPR( 0 ),

VM( 0 ),

VPCI( 0 ),

AvgVPCI( 0 ) ;

 

if BarType >= 2 then { not tick/minute data }

VolValue = Volume

else

VolValue = Ticks ;

 

VolumeSum1 = Summation( VolValue, Length1 ) ;

if VolumeSum1 > 0 then

VWMA1 = Summation( Price * VolValue , Length1 ) /

VolumeSum1 ;

 

VolumeSum2 = Summation( VolValue, Length2 ) ;

if VolumeSum2 > 0 then

VWMA2 = Summation( Price * VolValue , Length2 ) /

VolumeSum2 ;

 

VP = VWMA2 - Average( Price, Length2 ) ;

if Average( Low, Length1) > 0 then

VPR = VWMA1 / Average( Low, Length1 ) ;

if Average( VolValue, Length2 )> 0 then

VM = Average( VolValue, Length1 ) / Average( VolValue, Length2 ) ;

VPCI = VP * VPR * VM ;

AvgVPCI = Average( VPCI, VPCIAvgLen ) ;

 

 

 

If (VPCI > AvgVPCI) and (VPCI > 0)

Then PlotPaintBar (High, Low);

OK, so now the end looks like this:

 

If (VPCI > AvgVPCI) and (VPCI > 0)

Then PlotPaintBar (High, Low)

Else;

 

NoPlot( 1 ) ; { unpaint the bar }

 

 

It verifies but still nothing...I seem to get all of my attempts at a paintbar to either not paint at all OR paint everything all the time.

 

Thank you in advance for any wisdom you can lend me.

I would suggest you to start from STEP ONE:

 

go download this book:

 

"Getting Started with EasyLanguage"

this is the book you need if you're thinking about using EasyLanguage but don't know where to start.

 

Documentation

 

lots of useful examples for you to copy-and-paste.

OK. I took a look at what you wanted me to and have managed to get some paintbars working...now i am on to show me for vpci...it plots points (would really like an arrow at the cross above and below when above or below 0), but it is not doing the simple calculation at all. It cant seem to figure out when a pre-defined value is pos or neg and plot it.

 

I don't get it.

 

Here is where I'm at...seems simple enough but not working:

 

inputs:

Price( Close ),

Length1( 1 ),

Length2( 1 ),

VPCIAvgLen( 1 ) ;

 

variables:

VolValue( 0 ),

VolumeSum1( 0 ),

VolumeSum2( 0 ),

VWMA1( 0 ),

VWMA2( 0 ),

VP( 0 ),

VPR( 0 ),

VM( 0 ),

VPCI( 0 ),

AvgVPCI( 0 ) ;

 

if BarType >= 2 then { not tick/minute data }

VolValue = Volume

else

VolValue = Ticks ;

 

VolumeSum1 = Summation( VolValue, Length1 ) ;

if VolumeSum1 > 0 then

VWMA1 = Summation( Price * VolValue , Length1 ) /

VolumeSum1 ;

 

VolumeSum2 = Summation( VolValue, Length2 ) ;

if VolumeSum2 > 0 then

VWMA2 = Summation( Price * VolValue , Length2 ) /

VolumeSum2 ;

 

VP = VWMA2 - Average( Price, Length2 ) ;

if Average( Low, Length1) > 0 then

VPR = VWMA1 / Average( Low, Length1 ) ;

if Average( VolValue, Length2 )> 0 then

VM = Average( VolValue, Length1 ) / Average( VolValue, Length2 ) ;

VPCI = VP * VPR * VM ;

AvgVPCI = Average( VPCI, VPCIAvgLen ) ;

 

 

Condition1 = (VPCI is > avgVPCI) ;

 

{ OPTIONAL STEP: Replace CLOSE with your own formula for the price at which the marker

will be placed. Note that Value1 is a numeric variable, a temporary holding place

for the result of the numeric formula. }

 

Value1 = (low - .5);

 

{ Leave the following as is. The plot is not named because there is only one plot, and

the default name Plot1 will be adequate. The alert does not include a description

because the alerting criteria and the plotting criteria are the same, and the

description will be redundant. }

 

if Condition1 then

begin

Plot1 (value1) ;

Alert ;

end ;

you should wrap your code with the code tag.

it is the [b][size="4"]#[/size][/b] key at the top right of the message window

tagged code looks like this:

[code]
Input:
length(20);

Variables:
avg(0);

avg = average( close, length);

you are jumping ahead,

you haven't done these parts yet...

I’m actually not going to paint the bars based on VPCI….but I do want to eliminate the VPCI indicator from below my chart and simply replace it with a show me that gives me one arrow up or down based on the following info:

 

If VPCI > AvgVPCI (this is VPCI Smooth) and VPCI > 0 (the “zero” I am referring to is the one represented in the VPCI indicator, NOT on the chart of course) then plot the show me under the bar as an arrow pointing up…ONLY at the initial time that these are true not on every single bar that fits this criteria.

 

Same thing but pointing DOWN when VPCI < AvgVPCI and VPCI < 0.

 

This doesn’t seem like it should be so difficult to get to work….but I sure can’t do it.

 

:crap:

 

Any help is SO needed and appreciated fully.

I am now working with cross over...still not working correctly with my VPCI calculations.

 

See below:

 

Condition1 = (VPCI > avgVPCI) ;

Condition2 = (VPCI crosses over 0) ;

 

 

{ OPTIONAL STEP: Replace CLOSE with your own formula for the price at which the marker

will be placed. Note that Value1 is a numeric variable, a temporary holding place

for the result of the numeric formula. }

 

Value1 = (low - .5);

 

{ Leave the following as is. The plot is not named because there is only one plot, and

the default name Plot1 will be adequate. The alert does not include a description

because the alerting criteria and the plotting criteria are the same, and the

description will be redundant. }

 

if Condition1 and Condition2 then

begin

Plot1 (value1) ;

Alert ;

end;

 

This is in with the code above for VPCI

This is actually where I was stumped ignore last post:

 

Condition1 = (VPCI > 0) ;

Condition2 = (VPCI crosses over AvgVPCI) ;

Condition3 = (VPCI crosses over 0);

Condition4 = (VPCI > AvgVPCI);

 

{ OPTIONAL STEP: Replace CLOSE with your own formula for the price at which the marker

will be placed. Note that Value1 is a numeric variable, a temporary holding place

for the result of the numeric formula. }

 

Value1 = (low - .5);

 

{ Leave the following as is. The plot is not named because there is only one plot, and

the default name Plot1 will be adequate. The alert does not include a description

because the alerting criteria and the plotting criteria are the same, and the

description will be redundant. }

 

if Condition1 and Condition2 or Condition3 and Condition4 then

begin

Plot1 (value1) ;

Alert ;

end;

Hmmm, thx. I've been trying to find out more about the text_new function....but no good tutorials on how to add it correctly to your code. Do you know of any good references?

1. READ THE MANUAL and the REFERENCE

 

lots of sample code in there

 

 

2. Press [F1] in TS for HELP

 

 

 

3. You have NOT tried the search function of this site !!!!! (ask me how I knew.)

    • Agreed since some of the new traders usually lose money in start and some loses more while chasing their lost money and eventually ends up blaming to their brokers part.
    • The crypto market are also in phase of maturing like the forex and other trading assets so we can do much more accurate analysis than before since early days it was purely a luck if the investments in crypto bears results because most of the coins or tokens never come to fruition. Some early birds were also able to make profits on these tokens or coins. e,g., like turtle coin starts with 1 satoshi and go up to 7 sathoshis, quite good rewards. another token lmgx now hovering at 10 started from 1, 
    • 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.
