  2. '$ volume' and 'balance of buy/sell volume' as watchlist and scanner variables

    in Feature Requests

    Posted · Edited by MTG

    Hi Mike,

    I have 2 ideas I'm hoping you might consider adding.

    1. In the level II window, there's a column called "$ volume" which is the bid/ask volume*price. Could that be made a column for the watchlist and a variable for the scanner please?

    2. In the level II window there's a vertical line (circled) which indicates the ratio of buy to sell orders. Could that be made a numerical value for the watchlist and scanner too please? eg. a value between 0 and 1, where 0.5 is an equal number of buy & sell orders.

    Thanks very much.

  3. automatic trend lines

    Hi Mike,

    I love this indicator, but it still feels unfinished.  It would be a masterpiece if there was a just one more tweak.  If we could make the first and second points major fractal truning points - not as an option, but as a fixed thing - then only the very best lines remain.  I think that will mean more people will use it.  It would tidy it up nicely.

     

     

     

  5. Volume BUG

    Posted · Edited by MTG

    Thanks again.  I've been trying to reproduce it.  The following plots something quite interesting, but different to MT version. 

     

    b = Param("b",100,1,1000,1);  // number of bars to perform calcs on
    EMAVol = EMA(Volume,b);  // EMA of volume based on 'b' bars of data
    emamax =     HHV(EMAVol ,b);  //  highest value of EMA volume in last 'b' bars
    average    =   Sum(Volume,b)/b;  //average volume in last 'b' bars
    mx     =    HHV(Volume,b);  // highest value of volume over the last 'b' bars.  Using variable 'mx' instead of 'max'.
    croppedVol= max(emamax,Min(average *6, mx * 1.02) ) ;
    Plot( croppedVol,  "",colorGreen, styleHistogram);

    Mike, does the first mention of 'max' return the maximum of the 2 parameters in parentheses?  It's different to the second mention of 'max', yes? 

  9. Swing volume

    Hi Mike,

    I've been looking at how the wave volume works in real trading and I think it's worthwhile, even though it necessarily has some forward looking bias.  So long as one waits for the completion of the previous wave, all is good.  Particularly useful when applied to a range candle chart. 

    This video explains it nicely.  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DzpTeFhBvYo

    What would be most helpful is to color the candle at which the previous wave is completed, as an indicator that the signal is now valid.

    Thanks for having another look.

    I think Weis is using ATR, not percentages or points, for the ZigZag.

    I will add the ATR parameter to our ZigZag, then do your ZigZag Volume thing. As an aside - $500 for an indicator? Really? I'd be rolling in $.

    Sorry, yes he does use ATR to prevent future leak bias. 

    It's based on Wyckoff method, and that name holds a lot of sway in trading as you know.  The coding for it would be very basic.  $500 is totally ridiculous, I agree.

    Weis uses close for the zigzag, and I notice that's possible with MT.  So yes is the answer.  Thanks Mike.

    I think the sensitivity will need to be a lot finer for the % change.  Like say 0.00001 up/down arrow increments.

  15. Import stock list from web page

    Hi Jerry,

    Bell Direct AU can filter the entire stock market (2500+ stocks) based on criteria the user chooses.  It has an export facility (circled), and I'm hoping we could have a one click import of the stock codes shown on the page.   They'd just need an :ASX suffix attached, and have them appear in the "add symbols" window. .

    Thanks.

  24. Migrating to new computer

    in Bug Reporting - Public

    Hi Jerry,

    I've been trying to migrate to a new computer and MT is saying the p/w or email are incorrect.  So I deleted the MT folder and re-downloaded.  Then Panda AV says "w32/Exploit.gen" detected in the downloaded file.

    So two questions - 1) how to start up on a new PC? and 2) What's the AV detecting?

    Thanks!
