[Scanner function question about SLOPE]

Mike, can you elaborate on slope some more and give some examples such as....

How can I calculate the slope of the 20 EMA?    

This is new to me and if I see some examples I can probably figure it out...  Thanks

That sounds like it might work, is that something easy to code? I would love to test it out....

 

 

[Intraday vs Historical]

Thanks, that's exactly what I was looking for  

[Intraday vs Historical]

I have a scanner that I can run on both intraday a daily, but there are a couple things I would like to disable when running it as daily.  Of course I could just duplicate the scan and make one for daily and one for intraday, but I'm wondering if there is a way to identify whether I'm using intraday or historical charts.... it would go something like this.

If (Indtraday chart) 

{ 

if (High >= SymbolData.High - offset)
{ 
result += "High Of Day";

}
}

The scan I use on daily (historical) and intraday are almost identical, thus I hate to duplicate the scan.

That's the problem, I can show you examples (like above) of an ascending triangle, but I can't tell you how to code it.   With an ascending triangle, price would  hit a price level where it's rejected multiple times, but at the same time it would be putting in higher lows until it gets very narrow between the high and low.  At that point, it will usually break to the upside.   That would not be hard to code if the pattern was very orderly, but I don't know how to do it because there is no exact amount of time/bars between the first low, next high, next higher low, etc...

Has anyone successfully used MedVedTrader to detect patterns?  I know this can be done because I can easily scan for Ascending Triangles over at FinViz.   I would like to scan for Ascending Triangles on an intraday chart looking for potential breakouts.  Is this beyond the scope of MedVedTraders capabilities?

That did it, I must have overlooked where it said that and assumed it was email.... thanks

[Trouble Logging Into Forums]

Hi, I'm not sure what's up, but I can't seem to login to the forums (right here).   Only after I request a password reset, then it will change my pass (I assume), then log me in.  Once logged out, I can't get back in with the user and pass.  I've tested this on FireFox, Chrome, and MS Edge, and on two different computers.

[Scan Result and Alert Log Colors]

I tried to copy and paste my code in here, but it's not showing up?

[Scan Result and Alert Log Colors]

I'm stuck, been researching this problem for over a week with no solution.   I have built a scan in the advance editor that checks multiple conditions such as price near 50, 100, 200 SMA's, near intraday pivot points, etc....   if a price triggers multiple support areas at once, it's assigned a score.  Based on that score I would like to change the background color in Scan Result and in the Alert Log.  I'm attempting to do this with a Switch.   Everything works as expected except my Scan Result and Alert Log color.  They are not changed at all... can you please take a look and see what I"m doing wrong?  I have experience with Perl and PHP, but C# is all new to me.

Thank you, I'll give that a try

Hello,  I've been enjoying MedVed for a couple months now and it's very powerful, I love being able to use the advance code to narrow down my searches.    I'm running a seacrh now that alerts me when prices on the one minute intraday chart get within $.05 of daily pivot points.  I would like to also check if the stocks price is close to the daily 50 SMA, 100 SMA, and 200 SMA.  Since the scan is running on a 1 minute intraday chart, I"m not sure how to get daily SMA information.

Thanks in advance
