djpl8,

Some trades are real and some are practice. I practice alot, but ALWAYS practice like I was trading real money. So the only difference is in practice I can never be filled between the bid and the ask.

Mtut,

What is the bottom window? The one labeled 'Darcy' with the green boxes, and e30, e20 etc.

That is my watchlist with custom columns. I watch for all 5 columns to be the same color (indicating an E on each) then I look at that chart as a play. On the chart i also have money flow and adx tabs along the top

The color indicating if you have an E on each? Is that a script?

How were you able to add it do the Watchlist window? I've tried it, and I can't get it to add.

NMR,

If I shared my workspace would you know how to load and save it?

RR,

Do you know how to create a custom column or is your trouble code specific. Also, there is no 55 time frame for the columns. Would have to use 1 hr

yes,

I can modify the Custom1 and add the column to my Watchlist. Each time I edit the formula it states "At least one plot should be defined".

I cleared the formula and added this.

def MA1 = average(close, 5);
def MA2 = average(close, 10);
def MA3 = average(close, 20);
def Eup = MA1 > MA2 and MA2 > MA3;
def Edn = MA1 < MA2 and MA2 < MA3;

# set background color to light green if Eup, pink if Edn, and leave it at the default color if no E exists
AssignBackgroundColor( if Eup then Color.LIGHT_GREEN else if Edn then Color.PINK else Color.CURRENT );

yes 1 plot required try this

input short_average = 5;
input medium_average = 10;
input long_average = 20;
input average_type = {default "SMA", "EMA"};

def MA1;
def MA2;
def MA3;
switch (average_type) {
case "SMA":
MA1 = Average(close, short_average);
MA2 = Average(close, medium_average);
MA3 = Average(close, long_average);
case "EMA":
MA1 = ExpAverage(close, short_average);
MA2 = ExpAverage(close, medium_average);
MA3 = ExpAverage(close, long_average);
}


plot Eup = if MA1 > MA2 && MA2 > MA3 then 1 else 0;
def Edn = if MA1 < MA2 && MA2 < MA3 then 1 else 0;


EUp.AssignvalueColor(IF Eup THEN COLOR.LIGHT_green else if Edn then color.PINK ELSE Color.gray);

AssignbackgroundColor(IF Eup THEN COLOR.LIGHT_green else if Edn then color.PINK ELSE Color.gray);

Great!!!

That seems to be working.

It did give me pause when NFLX should be showing green in the box, and it was showing grey instead. On my 55 min E-chart the 5 and 10 clearly crossed up over the 20 by the end of the day. After a few minutes it seemed to correct on it's own.

Would the "Aggregation" time frame effect that? I was set to weekly, and I changed it to 1 hour and put a check in the box "include Extended Hours Trading". That's the closest I could got to 55 minutes.

Is there a way to have it show red or green only if the cross happened within something like the last 2 hours, and at other times just show it as grey?

Maybe playing around with the Aggregation time frame might give me the effect I'm looking for. If it is set to 1 hour per say, does that mean it checks to see if the condition is true over the last 1 hour?

Has anyone discovered a way to have custom Aggregation time frames within the formulas instead of the reset options??? The 1 hour and the 55 min are close for sure, but they still aren't the same and thus can give conflicting signals.

yes, definitely- or if you have the studies to share I can do that. It looks like what you have and are doing are a bit different that the other "E" charting that I have loaded and studied in the past, am I correct?

RR

As the code stands, it will reflect what the corresponding chart is showing in real time so it can change every second regardless of the aggregation period. The aggregation just tells it what time period to check the condition against. TOS does not allow for customized aggregation times in the columns

It certainly can be modified, for instance, to show only as the ma are crossing to make E signal true.Most anything you can do in the charts can be replicated in the columns,

mtut-
thank you very much- it worked and I am building the custom watch list as we speak.
I also have Alchem Charts running if you (or anyone) needs a comparison.

NMR, Just curious as to your opinion on AlchemCharts. Been a QCharts user over the years but I I really like the look of AlchemCharts as well as the "WSB"-specific indicators. Been waiting on Gary to give the "official" go-ahead on making the switch. Do you have the "E" charts set up on AlchemCharts?

I had been a QCharts user for many years and then ran QCharts and TOS together. Recently I turned on Alchem Charts. Alchem Charts only has the MA's that he has on his charts- so I cant make the "E" (5 and 10 SMA) on the charts. Alchem Charts is pretty much specifically the WSB indicators.

I do not want hijack this thread but will throw out hat I started retesting Alchem along side TradeStation a while back. I did not like the initial release but I love what they have done over the past few months. My favorite feature is the fact that all charts and timeframes are linked. If you are really into learning the GW way and practicing then Alchem makes it easy. You can scroll back to Tuesday two weeks ago at 1:23 and see what all charts actually looked like at that point in time. No cheating by seeing a completed weekly, completed autowave, or other charts/indicators. All charts and indicators will look exactly as they did at 1:23 on that day. The platform has been blessed to try. GW suggested he would run both platforms in parallel for at least a year before he officially migrates over.
