VWAP with SD Easy Lang Issues.

Recommended Posts

HI, I've tried a few VWAP codes in EL on my Global Zen platform with no problems.

 

The lastet one i've tried:

 

LegacyColorValue = true]; inputs: iStartTime (0800), ResetMinutes (60); vars: PriceW(0), ShareW(0), Count(0), VolWAPValue(0), VolWAPVariance(0), VolWAPSD(0); if mod( (TimeToMinutes(time)-TimeToMinutes(iStartTime) , TimeToMinutes(ResetMinutes) = 0 then begin PriceW = 0; ShareW = 0; Count = -1; Value1 = 0; Value2 = 0; VolWAPValue = 0; end; PriceW = PriceW + (AvgPrice * (UpTicks+DownTicks)); ShareW = ShareW + (UpTicks+DownTicks); Count = Count + 1; Value3 = 0; if ShareW > 0 then VolWAPValue = PriceW / ShareW; {Calculate the individual variance terms for each intraday bar starting with the current bar and looping back through each bar to the start bar. The terms are each normalized according to the Variance formula for each level of volume at each price bar } For Value1 = 0 To Count Begin Value2 = ((UpTicks[Value1]+DownTicks[Value1])/ShareW) * (Square(AvgPrice[Value1]-VolWAPValue)); Value3 = Value3 + Value2; End; VolWAPVariance = Value3; VolWAPSD = SquareRoot(VolWAPVariance); Plot1(VolWAPValue, "VWAP"); Plot2(VolWAPValue + VolWAPSD, "VWAP1SDUp"); Plot3(VolWAPValue - VolWAPSD, "VWAP1SDDown"); Plot4(VolWAPValue + (2*VolWAPSD), "VWAP2SDUp"); Plot5(VolWAPValue - (2*VolWAPSD), "VWAP2SDDown");

 

Comes up with 2 syntax errors and Unsupported attribute 'LeagacyColorVale"

 

Does anyone know the fix for these, and also can anyone reccomend a site to learn EL coding.

 

Thanks

Panic over, i've solved it now. If anyone would like the completed code (Easy Language for Open E Cry) let me know.

why don't you just post the code.

this is a mutual community, that's why you came here in the first place.

(unless you are fishing for contact names)

 

 

 

ps. pls use code tag to wrap the code

it is the # sign above the message window.

 

tagged code looks like this:

 

LegacyColorValue = true]; 

inputs: 
   VolWAPValue(0), 
   VolWAPVariance(0), 
   VolWAPSD(0); 

if TimeToMinutes(ResetMinute_s) = 0 then 
begin 
   PriceW = 0;
end;

Not sure if you're being rude in a friendly way, or friendly in a rude way.

 

I'll post the code and look forward the remarks that make coming these forums such a fun and rewarding experiance.

 

vars: vwap(0),
pv(0),
Totalvolume(0),
Barfromstart(0),
Squareddeviations(0),
Probabilityweighteddeviations(0),
deviationsum(0),
standarddeviation(0);
If date > date[1] 
then 
begin
Barfromstart=0;
pv=AvgPrice*volume;
Totalvolume=volume;
vwap=pv/totalvolume;
end
else
begin
Barfromstart=Barfromstart[1]+1;
pv=pv[1] + AvgPrice*Volume;
Totalvolume=Totalvolume[1] + Volume;
vwap=pv/Totalvolume;
end;
deviationsum=0;
for value1= 0 to Barfromstart
begin
Squareddeviations=Square( vwap-avgprice[value1]);
Probabilityweighteddeviations=volume[value1]*Squareddeviations/Totalvolume;
deviationsum=deviationsum +Probabilityweighteddeviations;
end;

standarddeviation=SquareRoot(deviationsum); 
Plot1(vwap);

Plot3(vwap+2*standarddeviation);
Plot4(vwap-standarddeviation);
Plot5(vwap-2*standarddeviation);

Hi,

 

I saw your EL code for the VWAP/SDs and imported it to OEC. Is this study similar to Jerry´s study, found under the Trading with Market Statistics threads here at TL.com?

 

Is it for tick-by-tick or 2m? At what time do you start the study?

 

I am using Jerry´s study in Ensign and want to compare it to yours.

 

Regards,

Halli.

I use it on a 5min as i find 2 min far too noisy for my requirements.

 

I do not use it in the same way as Jerry (although his posts and videos are excellent) For me it is an extra tool in an holostic approach to trading and market structure.

 

The study will start at the same time as your default market start times on the OEC platform.

 

By posting this code i am in no way reccomending its use in any particular way.

best to paper trade it first to suit your own style.

 

Best of Luck

It makes me chuckle that people sell stuff like this, I guess it helps those that have no interest in modifying the code themselves. Maybe I should simply post all my VWAP SD indicators which do all that and more:)

 

Anyway bomber there will probably be a line like

 

if date > date[1] then

 

Remove that and you will get a non resetting distribution.

 

Keep a count of days and (pretty trivial) to have an N day distribution.

Hi BlowFish happy to hear your opinion. I think that sell stuff that come frome a free works it isn't really a good things, anyway this is my personal opinion.

Anyway I'd like to add N like number of day to calculate vwap in input, so i could shoose it,

 

And it would be great to combine a new vwap point of calculation when a strong minimum or maximum it is found.

 

Please if you know how to do help.

Add something like this at the start of the main code loop:- (NumberofDays is an input)

if date > date[1] then
begin
n = n + 1;
if n = NumberofDays then 
begin	
	s = 0;
	n = 0;
	VWAP1 = VWAP;
	SD1 = SD;
	VWAP = 0;
	SumWeights = 0;
	SumWeightsOld = 0;
	VWAPOld = 0;
end;

Where would you put that additional code in the formula to get a continuous VWAP/SDs for perhaps the past 2-3 days?

 

Regards,

Halli.

 

In the original code

If date > date[1] 

 

With Any Average, the longer the sample rate, the less sensitive it will be. Altering the VWAP for longer term analysis is great for just that. Dont expect to see many daytrading entry signals from it. The market sentiment / perception of value can change from one day to the next ( Compare Equities on the 18th & 19th this week as an example). Good Luck with it Halli.

Not sure it worked.

 

 

 

I think the key point to ask is did it 'work' for you?

 

If after testing it (OEC market replay give you the opportuntiy to try it out on multiple contracts) your results are positive, and you develop faith and a good feel for it then it 'works'.

 

Everyone processes the data we recieve on the charts differently, we are all dealing with approximations to a greater or lesser degree (with reference to volume).

 

Maybe use it as part of the jigsaw,and not the whole picture.

Hi BlowFish thans for your help.

Now I try to add code and make it works.

 

I post a question about twap indicator, are you able to code it or is very difficult?

Thanks ValueTrader for posting this code. Can you show me how to modify it to start at a particular time, say 1800?

 

Thanks in advance,

 

MilesT

 

Code:

vars: vwap(0),

pv(0),

Totalvolume(0),

Barfromstart(0),

Squareddeviations(0),

Probabilityweighteddeviations(0),

deviationsum(0),

standarddeviation(0);

If date > date[1]

then

begin

Barfromstart=0;

pv=AvgPrice*volume;

Totalvolume=volume;

vwap=pv/totalvolume;

end

else

begin

Barfromstart=Barfromstart[1]+1;

pv=pv[1] + AvgPrice*Volume;

Totalvolume=Totalvolume[1] + Volume;

vwap=pv/Totalvolume;

end;

deviationsum=0;

for value1= 0 to Barfromstart

begin

Squareddeviations=Square( vwap-avgprice[value1]);

Probabilityweighteddeviations=volume[value1]*Squareddeviations/Totalvolume;

deviationsum=deviationsum +Probabilityweighteddeviations;

end;

 

standarddeviation=SquareRoot(deviationsum);

Plot1(vwap);

Plot2(vwap+standarddeviation);

Plot3(vwap+2*standarddeviation);

Plot4(vwap-standarddeviation);

Plot5(vwap-2*standarddeviation);

Dont forget to wrap to code when posting, using the hash on the top right hand side of the reply window. It makes the code easier to read.

 

{Example code here} plot1(open,"open");

 

As for you start time question, the simplest way would be to open a new chart and alter the default start time. Or you could use...

 

If time >1759 and time<1801 then begin

 

at the start of the code. you'd also need the place an

End;

at the end of the code.

    • 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.
