Adding Count of VPA Signals

If you have a specific set of VPA signals of interest and you would like to count the number of those signals in the last 5 bars, here's a quick way to do it by modifying the existing VPA_Overlay script. For instance, say I'm interested in how many of the following flags occured in the last 5 days: ...

Re: Sharing custom templates?

The way to share a custom template would be to send it to someone as a file. They would need to copy it to their {Documents}\EdgeRater\EdgeClub folder and it would then appear in their 'My Templates' category. However, if you have used custom scripts within your templates, the recipient of the templ...

Re: EOD update from HGSI

It should be almost instantaneous, so something is not quite right. Please try the following: 1. Reboot your PC (just to make sure that you are starting without any other program tasks working in the background) 2. After re-booting, try switching lists as the first thing you do when you run the prog...

Re: EOD update from HGSI

Please check the following: 1. That your HGSI data is truly updated to the correct EOD date you expect (take a look at a chart or two and look at the warehouse date field) 2. That your EdgeRater symbol list is set to fetch the last X years of data (rather than a specific date range) 3. Try creating ...

Re: Wishlist for new features in Edgerater

Ahh, I see.

Another suggestion then would be to save the Chart Layout 4 different times with the different chart areas in view. Then keep the Chart Layout panel permanently visible (turn off auto-hide) and scroll through that to show the desired chart areas.

Re: Wishlist for new features in Edgerater

You might be able to achieve this by using the auto-zoom/manual zoom of the y-axis. To activate manual zoom, place your mouse cursor in the right hand vertical axis and drag the scale. Once activated the y-axis will remain fixed at the set level. To re-activate auto-zoom, double-click in the vertica...

Re: How do MD_Peak and MD_Trough work?

Hi Jim, The script for MD_Peak is as follows: ZZ:= ZIG(C, ZPCT); turn1:= REF(ZZ, 2) < REF(ZZ, 1) & ( REF(ZZ, 1) > ZZ ); event: REF(turn1, -1); As you can see the code uses the ZIG formula (zigzag) to figure out peaks. Basically looking for where the zigzag line two days ago was lower than one da...

How do MD_Peak and MD_Trough work?

I received this in an email and thought it would be useful as a forum topic: Chris I have been doing some work with MD_ Trough and MD _ Peak listed under System Scans. I have no idea how it works. Could you give me an idea of how they are constructed or how the scan works? Peak and Trough are self e...
