 Hi Bruce,

Can you pl help me create the following realcode indicators

I am looking to plot indicator1 and indicator2 using 1hr timeframe on a 5min chart

1) Indicator1

Variables - Period
Variables - TimeFrame

Plot = Price.Close(Period)


2) Indicator2

Variables - Period
Variables - TimeFrame

Plot = (Price.MaxHigh(Period) + Price.MinLow(Period)) / 2

I was able to create these indicators in realcode and change the time period using the
block diagram. But I am not able to save the time period settings. I have to edit
them whenever I close and open SF. I am looking for an indicator like the one you
created for the following forum request

http://www.worden.com/training/default.aspx?g=posts&t=38818  - TSV with Adjustable Time Frame.sfInd

Thanks
Subbu

 I've attached a Price Indictaor with a Time Frame Block connected to the Price Block. You should be able to Open an attached Indicator directly into a running copy of StockFinder (and save it from within StockFinder if desired).

You should be able to Drag and Drop the Block Diagram into the RealCode Editor to create something like the first line of the following RealCode Rule:

'# PHwT = indicator.PriceHistorywTimeFrame
'# Period = UserInput.Integer = 0
Plot = PHwT.Value(Period)

You should be able to reproduce your other Indicator using this method as well:

'# PHwT = indicator.PriceHistorywTimeFrame
'# Period = UserInput.Integer = 1
Plot = (PHwT.MaxHigh(Period) + PHwT.MinLow(Period)) / 2

It should be noted that the lowest granualarity that will be Plotted for the Indicator will be the Time Frame of the Chart. It generally works best if the Time Frame of the Price History with Time Frame Indicator is longer than the Time Frame of the Chart as a result. A Bar Offset (such as is used in the first RealCode Indicator) when the Price History with Time Frame is shorter than the Time Frame of the Chart used in a RealCode Indicator is somewhat odd.
