Hi, Is there a way I can program the following indicators:

1. Indicator 1= VOLUME:today * ( ClOSE:today - CLOSE:yesterday )

2. Indicator 2 = HIGH:today - EMA:today ( use EMA of 13 days )

3. Indicator 3 = LOW:today - EMA:today

Thank you for your help

#1 is the formula for On Balance Volume (assuming you would want this as a cumulative indicator). You can add this to any chart and don't need to create a custom indicator.

Here are the formulas for your all three indicators (if #1 is not to be a cumulative indicator):

(C-C1)*V

H-XAVGC13

L-XAVGC13

I would check the ZERO LINE option for each of these.

Here is a video on how to create a custom indicator:

Plotting Custom Indicators with Examples

Here are some formula examples. Hopefully you noticed how easy the language is:

Craig,

The increment for OBV is:

V*SGN(C0-C1)

Elder's Force Index is:

V*(C0-C1)

Thanks,
Jim Murphy

H-XAVG13

L-XAVG13

I would check the ZERO LINE option for each of these.

Thank you for your help. For the force index, I had successfully plotted it.

For H-XAVG13 AND L-XAVG13, I got the message "Formula error: missing argument".

Kindly help.

I think I got it. The formula should be H-xaggc13. The C is missing.

Thank you. May I ask another question.

Do you have the formula for ATR - average true range?
