Soundwave401 Posted October 24, 2018 Report Share Posted October 24, 2018 So I mostly been daytrading SPY options as of late and I've been messing around with the new Weiss Wave indicator you added in the beta and I'm liking the performance when set to the parameters in the screenshot. I'm trying to implement it into a paintbar and I'm noticing there isn't any criteria to select for the paintbar. If I wanted a paintbar to alert the start of a new green wave like the circle in the attached screenshot how would I go about coding it?

Mike Medved Posted October 25, 2018 Report Share Posted October 25, 2018 This was an omission. Will be fixed in next release, hopefully today. It will have Value and Direction. Value obviously the height of the bar and Direction is either 1 or -1 for positive and negative. You would check whether there was a switch by comparing Value[0] to Value[1] and what kind of switch by checking the Direction. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jerry Medved Posted October 26, 2018 Report Share Posted October 26, 2018 new production version with the changes released. restart MT and you should be prompted to update. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soundwave401 Posted October 26, 2018 Author Report Share Posted October 26, 2018 Ok have the update and trying to make this work in the paintbar. As per the screenshot above I'm trying to get an alert when a red wave turns to green, or green turns red. By your instructions I believe I should be doing it such as in the attached screenshot. Having the value cross up one or equal one but on the paintbar it's giving me a red X. So I don't think it's playing nicely. Any ideas?

Jerry Medved Posted October 26, 2018 Report Share Posted October 26, 2018 emailed you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Medved Posted October 26, 2018 Report Share Posted October 26, 2018 Oh btw. The easiest way to check that it switches direction is to do Crosses (or, if you want to know what switch it is, red to green or vice versa, CrossesUp or CrossesDown) on 0 for the Direction value. Not Value as you have it in the above screenshot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
