  1. The VMA I implemented is the one where EMA is modified by the volatility index. It is claimed to be from Chande too. And yes it is "VIDYA". http://etfhq.com/blog/2011/02/22/variable-moving-average-vma-volatility-index-dynamic-average-vidya/ The VI that is used in our calculations is the Efficiency Ratio. You may be looking at VMA that uses a different VI. What would it be? What is the formula of the one you want?
  2. I am putting Jerry's post into our help file.
  3. There wasn't such a column, but what you CAN do is use the scanner for it. Create a scan that does whatever calculation you want, then do the SetScanResult to that number. Run the scan on the portfolio. The result will show in the ScanResult column.
  4. Works for me for everything. Here it is for 1 min candles...
  5. I am not sure if you're asking how to do this or just mentioning that it is available. If you want to know how to do that - set the Trading tab of the ribbon menu to the account in which the position is held. Then go to the Trading Settings on the right and turn on the Show Positions.
  6. At some point you made an alert with that note and hit the "Set as default" button on the bottom. Make a default for the alert without the note.
  7. You can hide the indicator legends - that is in the chart's Ribbon menu in the View tab under Options on the left. You can also change the Y scale to pad it so you have empty space added - just click on the scale and drag it up/down to do that.
  8. Take a look how it is implemented now. Same periods are allowed as for pivots.
  9. I guess can implement this in the same way (and ranges) that pivot points are implemented. How would these four lines be labeled? What are they called? I googled and saw them called L1+ L2+ L1- L2-... Since in MT the names, since they can be used in the paintbars, should not contain +-, I could call them L1P L2P L1N L2N --- for positive and negative?
  10. Dr - all online brokerages are increasing their security, thus these extra hoops to jump through.
  11. Ok I looked it up. It will be in next beta.
  12. Will be in next beta. Comments are welcome, as usual.
  13. Well sure... That's what the "crosses up" and "crosses down" is for. Here is one such rule. You can have many rules in one scanner.
  14. On the dashboard, bottom left, on the status bar, there is an exclamation point icon. Click on it - the menu has an option to disable the alert system.
  15. So far, yes. IIRC they have been making noises about opening API for Lite customers.
  16. Just a reminder - settings now has a search feature. All you have to do is type "top" in that search field up top on the right - and it will direct you to the settings page and the appropriate checkbox.
  17. ... and here is the problem. You want to use a historical calculation (252 trading days) in an intraday chart. Intraday chart can have access to that data but the data is only there if the historical chart was brought up and backfilled, and the intraday chart has no way of knowing whether that data has been updated recently.
  18. Current VWAP bands are VWAP +- standard deviation * multiplier. I am not sure what you want to add. What is the formula you're using to calculate gamma and implied volatility? What exactly are you adding/subtracting from VWAP to make up the bands?
  19. LOL - yes. I didn't run it through the editor when I typed it in, sry.
  20. to check if the candle belongs to the current month, you do if (DateTime.UtcNow.Month == TimeStamp.Month && DateTime.UtcNow.Year == TimeStamp.Year)
  21. I am not sure whether you're using the historical chart candle values to calculate intraday pivot points? If so, that is not what MT uses. MT uses intraday data to calculate intraday pivot points. So look at intraday high low close - on the intraday chart candles - for the day. Oh and yes TC and BC were reversed. I changed that in code.
  22. Pivot is calculated as (prev day high + prev day low + prev day close) / 3 The difference could be the close of the day. MT takes it from the data, so if you have extended day it will take it from that. Compare your HLC values to MT's.
