  1. It's the standard Bressert DSS formula:

     

    1. Calc Highest High and Lowest Low for the period - HH and LL

    2. Calc Value = 100*(Close-LL)/(HH-LL)

    3. Get EMA(smooth) of Value = EMAValue

    4. Get highest high and lowest low of EMAValue for the period - NewHH and NewLL

    5. PreDSS = 100*(EMAValue-NewLL)/(NewHH-NewLL)

    6. DSS = EMA(smooth) of PreDSS

    7. Plot DSS

     

    In the future, I think we will release the source of all (most?) indicators. Both so that these kinds of questions can be answered and as models for people who will write their own indicators to include in MT.

  2. Bids/Asks belong to "ticks" - that is, individual trades. Thus, they can be plotted only on time-based charts. There is just no X coordinate I can give to a particular Bid/Ask pair on a tick-candle chart (or range-candle chart etc)...

  3. If any of you guys has experience using these indicators, please audit them in MT. I added them (they will be in next version). "Combo" is just an option in the DeMark Sequential. Tell me what you think - both on whether it is accurate and whether the display is reasonable.

     

    One thing: right now the indicator works on all candles except the last one. The last one is not taken into account. That is done because if the last candle was considered in calculation, Setups and Countdowns would conceivably appear/disappear/appear again as the last candle was being built, I thought it would be confusing (and would slow charts down). Is that acceptable?

     

    Thanks

  4. Ok, I added ZLMA. Also added ZLMA to all the other indicators that accept multiple MA types (such as MA Ribbons or MA Envelope). Also added ZLMA as an option to MACD and MACD Histogram.

     

     

    T3 stoch - would the algorithm be:

     

    1. calc T3

    2. find highest and lowest T3 over the T3 period  - high and low

    3. show (T3-low)*100/(high-low)

     

    ??

  5. Sorry I didn't reply earlier. It is possible to do, but:

     

    1. It will only work on tick-data. Won't work on aggregate backfilled data at all.

     

    2. There would be two lines instead of the previous one. Wouldn't that make it a bit "busy"?

     

    3. Using bid/ask volume for part of it and total volume for the rest of the calc would be inconsistent and I don't think would produce good results. But using it throughout is possible.

     

    Have you seen this done anywhere?
