Mr. Chevallier, I RTFM but since this is my first explore, i was having trouble finding the words to translate the idea. Thanks for responding.
> I notice that "signal" is a predefined function for the MACD. So I use another variable "Range". > On running the exploration, I notice that the 8H event has been defined to trigger if the 5H event is not true. In reality, an 8 bar high includes a 5-bar high and a 8L includes a 5L. As a result, all signals are only of a 5-bar high/low. So I invert the order. > I rewrite the signal as RANGE BO = WriteIf(H8, "H8", WriteIf(H5,"H5",""); RANGE BD = WriteIf(L8, "L8", WriteIf(L5,"L5",""); ADDTEXTCOLUMN(RANGE BO, "RANGE BO"); ADDTEXTCOLUMN(RANGE BD, "RANGE BD"); > Now, I have to just fix another minor item and I will be rolling. Irrespective of the period of chart I am "viewing" (5 min, daily etc) I'd like this afl to run in the background on DAILY bars compiled from realtime 5m bars. Is there a way I can "SetOption()" in the AFL to say > use only daily bars > use only Watchlist AA I appreciate any help. best wishes, Kazaan 2009/11/8 Robert Chevallier <[email protected]> > > > RTFM > > You should use AddTextColumn : > > signal = WriteIf(5H, "5H", WriteIf(8H, ""8H, Writeif(5L, "5L", WriteIf(8L, > "8L", "- n/a -")))); > AddTextColumn(signal,"Signal"); > > 2009/11/6 furinkazaan <[email protected]> > > >> >> Hi, >> >> I am writing my first exploration to alert for 5-day high or lows using >> realtime feed. >> the pseudo code for this is as follows >> >> Set interval - Daily in AA window >> >> Set Date – Today / last n bars=1 in AA window >> >> 5H= H> REF(HHV,5), -1); >> >> 8H= H> REF(HHV,8), -1); >> >> 5L= L< REF(LLV,5), -1); >> >> 8L= L< REF(LLV,8), -1); >> >> BUY= 5H OR 8H; >> >> SELL=5L OR 8L; >> >> FILTER= (BUY OR SELL); >> >> >>>ADDCOLUMN to display which range is broken >> >> I am unable to figure out how to add a column in by exploration window >> titled "Signal" which lists "5H" / "5L"/"8H"/"8L" against each stock that >> passes filter. >> >> I did check addcolumn related discussions in the group but found nothing >> that helps.
