[amibroker] How to use function?

2007-03-28 Thread carlacash26
Hi I have received some Amibroker code but I cant get it to work, 
could someone advice me how to do this?

It is made up of a function, and it works as a smooth moving average.
It returns an array, and I suppose I want to plot this array?



function Smoother(inputArray, period, inertia)
{
resultArray = Cum(0);

//CODE REMOVED


if (loopParam  30)
SmoothValue = Null;
SmoothValueBuffer[shift] = SmoothValue;
resultArray[resultArrayIndex++] = SmoothValue;
}

return resultArray;
}




[amibroker] IB Controller - getting order info

2007-03-28 Thread Claude Caruana
Hi All,

 

 

I am in the process of building an indicator which uses the IB Controller
interface in order to plot position and order info back onto a price chart.

Up to now, I have been able to implement all information I require as
regards to open positions, however, I have not found a way to retrieve order
information.

 

I would typically have a bracket order set up for every open position. All
the info I need, regardless of whether or not the orders have been placed
through the interface, is listed in the Pending Orders section of the
interface. Question is: is it possible to use the info from this list,
programmatically in the indicator code?

 

Thanks in advance for any replies,

 

Claude

 



[amibroker] How to code a DMI cross ReEntry

2007-03-28 Thread dralexchambers
Hello - I having trouble coding the following in AFL:

The first part of my system is a DMI cross. This works as follows:

Buy = Cross(PDI(4), MDI(4);
My stop loss is the low of each day
Sell = L  LongStop;

It is the second part here that I am having trouble with:

If the PDI(4) is still greater than the MDI(4) and has not crossed
over in the opposite direction, and I have been stopped out, my re-
entry criteria for long trades would be when the gap between the PDI
and MDI  3.

So, to give an example:

PDI  MDI cross on Monday
In Tues, Stop loss triggered on Thurs

On Friday, PDI is still  MDI and (PDI - MDI)  3, then a trade is
triggered for the next day.

Thanks - alex

Use it like any other function in AB
something like this, but do not know exaclty what the inputs represent

plot( Smoother(C,10,1).Smoother, colorred,styleline);

[amibroker] Re: IB Controller - getting order info

2007-03-28 Thread claudecaruana
Hi Herman,

thanks for your message...i've looked into the archives but i'm still 
at a loss.

Basically I would like to draw horizontal lines which represent 
pending bracket trades.

I would like to avoid plotting and 'remembering' the orders when I 
place the trade through IB Controller: I'd rather read the orders 
from the pending orders list. Reason is to ensure AB is updated even 
if it is restarted/used with different IB Accounts etc...

These trades show in the pending list and the columns available 
contain limit/stop prices. Up to now I have been able to retreive the 
status of these orders using getStatus(), but I would also need to 
retrieve the stop and limit prices in order to plot the lines. Would 
you think this is possible at all?

thanks again,

Claude

[amibroker] Backtesting problem

2007-03-28 Thread aleskresta
hello,

   mayby it is a stupid question, but i am really hopeless:( I wrote my 
own indicator in Delphi-works great. It purpose is to aproximate price 
movement in the past. I have my simple rules to buy when this 
aproximated price movements crosses 0 and goes up and sell when it 
crosses 0 and goes down. Everything is OK, but when I run backest, 
there is a problem, that this indicator is computed just once, so in 
fact buying signal in the middle of dates is computed using also prices 
after this point. Then  it looks like holy grail, because after 
aproximation aproximated curve is almost the same as the price curve, 
so there is no problem to buy low and sell high. What I want to do is 
that after runnig backets, every tick, it will compute my indicator 
from just past dates and then makes decision and again move one tick 
ahead and compute indicator, makes decisions and so on... I hope u 
undestand what I need, sorry for my english:( and thnak u very much for 
answers;)

[amibroker] Re: IB Controller - getting order info

2007-03-28 Thread claudecaruana
Herman,

as I understand the executions file in IB only contains filled orders.
What I'm after is pending order data other than it's status (basically 
stop/limit prices)

What I noticed is that ibC already picks up pending orders in the list 
even if these are not generated in Amibroker, and even getstatus() 
works on these orders. It would be great to find a way to read this 
orders, then modify them and re-submit them through Amibroker.

Do you see any other way of doing it?

cheers,
Claude




[amibroker] Hedging idea

Hi,

I am testing an idea when I place a buy and sell order at the open of 
each day. Sometimes one of these orders will be fulfilled, sometimes 
none and sometimes both on the same day.

Is it possible to do this in AFL using conventional Buy and Sell AFL 
instructions - or can Amibroker only do 1 buy or sell per bar?

Re: [amibroker] Re: FFT

2007-03-28 Thread Ara Kaloustian
Hi Yuki,

You are absolutely right, of course, about value of a system that works... 
it is priceless ... and ... no I would not sell it if I had one.

What I am looking for, when I say it works, has a more limited scope. I 
want to see that the technical part works. For example, when MESA or FFT 
produce a value for the dominant cycle, they must have some kind of 
similarity to demonstrate that there is some validity.

As is, the results are completely different, so it's impossible to tell if 
either one is worth persuing.

I have done a bit of work on the MESA side recently (and I think Ehlers 
considers only his proprietary code as true MESA) and the cyclicity just 
does not hold validity. I am under the impression that Ehlers recommended 
code from earlier versions was more rubust - and much slower - but not sure 
if adequately better.

Clearly creating an edge is up to the trader / investor and is the 
combination of the art and science of trading, but we need the tools to do 
it with. Spending time researching / testing adequacy of tools to verify 
what they are supposed to do is a bit of a drag ... and takes too much time 
from our true purpose of trading

Have a great day

Ara

 AK How true!!!

 AK I would not mind paying for a product that works ...

 That's the point.  Neither would anyone else -- provided it was sold
 ONLY TO THEM.

 If it works well, and it's published, it soon won't work well.

 1) This is the information age.

 2) Anyone who publishes a respectable system will immediately have
 several million people (at least) back test it (probably the next
 day). If it works well for them on a back test, they will use it,
 which means it won't work long going forward.

 Why can't people understand this easy logic?

 If it's worth paying for, it's worth, as Fred said, tens upon
 millions, or billions, of dollars.  Anyone charging less is a
 flat-out dullard.  The same for anyone voluntarily publishing a good
 system.

 A good system is so valuable that it doesn't have a price, mostly
 because selling it publicly would immediately destroy its value.  The
 price would be good for the seller, but the buyer would either need
 to secure exclusivity, or not be too bright.

 For the most part, Fred's extreme percentage example won't work --
 because of liquidity problems.  But edges are so hard to come by that
 it doesn't take too many people trying to exploit the same edge to
 absolutely destroy that edge.

 Finally, I agree with you.  Cycle research is trying to pin human
 emotion to some clock-like cycle.  Good luck with that.

 There are some periodical cycles that can be exploited -- related to
 the calendar, for example -- but searching for a one-size-fits-all
 cyclical formula to explain human nature reveals nothing more than a
 rather woeful lack of understanding when it comes to human nature in
 the first place.

 Yeah, it's like Fib numbers:  It works sometimes, but it doesn't work
 a lot, too.  Same with the periodical cycles.

 There is NO grail!  Grail-searchers, be gone!!!  ^^_^^

 There are temporary edges.  Exploit them.  Expect, with the power of
 modern desktop computers to say the least, that they won't last too
 long.  *TENS OR HUNDREDS OF MILLIONS* of people are searching through
 the data, looking for an edge.  Every day.  Every night on the other
 side of the world.  They never stop.  They are relentless.

 And they are dying to sell that newly discovered edge to you for US$
 1,500??? Or even ten times that much???

 Yeah.  Sure.

Hi Howard,

I just discovered a neat, graphical approach to translating imported
signals to Buy/Short signals. It also has the advantage of producing a
unique Buy/Short signal which is required if you want to reference the
Buy/Short Price.
Here it is for an imported signal in the form 9,10,11 but can also be
used for a -1, 0, 1 format (Dakota)by changing neutralLine = 0:

neutralLine = 10.00;
Buy = Cross (Sigs, neutralLine); //Sigs is the imported signal
BuyPrice = ValueWhen(Buy, Open);
Short = Cross (neutralLine, Sigs);
ShortPrice = ValueWhen(Short, Open);

Best regards,

Hello,

Sure - use IQFeed or eSignal as a data source.

Really - if you are interested in getting more data you should
subscribe to some real data source and then download with ease.
 
IB backfills are slower by factor of 100 (yes one hundred times slower) than 
real data source (what takes 5 minutes with IB
takes 3 seconds with eSignal or IQFeed).

[amibroker] Sell signal after defined number of periods

2007-03-28 Thread bernardedmond01
Is there a simple way of generating a sell signal after a certain 
number of periods? For example, if I want to test the accuracy of a buy 
signal after 5,10,20 bars, how do I say Sell after Buy + 5,10,20 bars?
Thanks.

 Hi I have received some Amibroker code but I cant get it to work,
 could someone advice me how to do this?
 
 It is made up of a function, and it works as a smooth moving

 It returns an array, and I suppose I want to plot this array?

Would anybody be able to tell me why I can't download new symbols to

Also, would you please offer a remedy on how to fix the problem?

One other question, is there a simple way to just add the 200-dma line

Thank you very much,

I'm thinking of using Amibroker with CQG for its portfolio analysis.
Does anyone out there have any experience with CQG and Amibroker, and 
if so, how do they perform and/or integrate together?

Thanks
