Repositioning an Indicator

Recommended Posts

Hi ,

 

Would it be possible to move an indicator (such as moving average) in the middle of his career?

I try to explaine : a trendline drawn , if I wanted to move the move by grabbing his extreme. Here, if I wanted to move a moving average, to my knowledge, you can not because the MovAvg is anchored to the chart. I would only move the moving average and not everything that concerns the bar prices.

In addition, I would like to know if this movavg, it can not move from the extremes but in the middle or in a spot chosen by me.

 

 

Tks for help

Hi,

Not sure if I quite got what you were asking, but if you need to position a moving average around the chart you might find this indi useful.

I have made it so that you can apply horizontal and vertical shifts both positive and negative.

The chart attached shows the same indi loaded a few times with some parameters changed to show you how it can work.

Hope you find this useful.

Cheers

Hi Brooky and tks for help.

I'm sorry, but I forgot to mention that the language on which the code was applied to EasyLanguage. :-P

 

Tks

One way would be to add an offset input and add that to the average before plotting it. If you wanted to shift it left/right too you would need to add a y offset too. Something like

 

var: Period(13),Xoffset(0),Yoffset(0);

 

....code to calculate average goes here....

 

plot [Yoffset](MyMovingAverage+Xoffset);

 

 

It would not be drag and drop but it would allow you to 'nudge' the average around by changing the offset parameters.

Tks BlowFish ,

 

But if I wanted to move the point Z? I try to explain better: Y is the beginning, X is the end: Z in the middle there. That 's what I want to move, leaving intact the Y and Z points. Something like that, it can be done? Is there a way to codify?

In addition, the drag and drop is not really possible?

 

Tks

why don't you post a diagram?

Hi Tams ' date='

 

in graph attached . This is an example , with polynomial predict . But it could be any other indicator .

 

Tks

if you want to do a grab and drag,

no, it cannot be done because EasyLanguage/TS/MultiCharts is not designed for such an operation.

 

You might want to check out Amibroker. It has a slider where you can change a moving average period on the fly.

It could change the slope of the curve, but it still would not hold X and Y in place. To do that, you will need to re-evaluate the formula and its variables.

Ok . Tks .:-(

i'll try to modified formula and variables. ;-)

Tams has pretty much said this but what you require is not 'repositioning'. You need to completely recalculate the curve to fit the points.....it will be unlikely to be a moving average after this.

 

I am not sure what curve fitting algorithm will suit your purpose, I seem to recall NURBS (Non-uniform rational basis spline) being popular. (This does surface too). Non-Linear regression or least squares would be good search terms too.

    • 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.

    • The good thing i had noticed so far is that the traderpot value is also on the rise..
    • yup its a gradual rollout the right way in my opinion, its really good and its exciting for the sto in 2027
    • there is no avoiding loses to be honest, its just how the market is. you win some and hopefully more, but u do lose some.
