Bruce

I cannot get this indicator to compile with SMI (Stochastic Momentum Index).  See bolded code. What am I doing wrong?

Thanks.

Please try using SMI.Value and SMI.Value(1) instead of SMI and SMI(1).

Bruce - That worked.  Now having problem compiling this modification.   Code beginning with 

"Else If Marker = 1 AndAlso" is not compiling.  Thanks.

Sorry - here is all the code

 

Static Count As Single
Static Marker As Single
 
If isfirstBar Then
Count = Single.NaN
Marker = 0
Else If Price.Open > Price.High(1) OrElse _ 
Price.Open < Price.Low(1) Then
Count = 0
Else If SMI.value < -50 AndAlso SMI.Value(1) > -50 Then
Marker = 1 AndAlso Count = 1
Else If Marker = 1 AndAlso _
(OrElse(Price.High > Price.High(1) AndAlso Price.Low > Price.Low(1) OrElse _ 
(Price.Open > Price.Open(1) AndAlso Price.Close > Price.Close(1) OrElse _
Price.Close >= 1.0 * Price.XAVGC(8)) Then
'Else If Price.Open >= 0.9 * Price.Close(1) AndAlso _
' Price.Close > Price.Open AndAlso (Price.High - Price.Low) > 0.9 * (Price.High(1) - Price.Low(1)) _
' AndAlso Count = 0 Then
Count += 1
'Else If Price.Open >= 0.9 * Price.Close(1) AndAlso _
'Price.Close > Price.Open AndAlso Count > 0 Then
Else
Count = 0
Marker = 0
End If
Plot = Count

You have AndAlso _ and (OrElse right in a row. I don't know which you want. It also looks like you need to add a few closing parentheses. Not sure where they go for sure (but you could always put them between price.XAVGC(8) and Then).

This is what I am trying to do.
 
Else If (Marker = 1 AndAlso (_
Price.High > Price.High(1) AndAlso Price.Low > Price.Low(1) OrElse _ 
Price.Open > Price.Open(1) AndAlso Price.Close > Price.Close(1) OrElse _
Price.Close >= 1.0 * Price.XAVGC(8)
Then
Count += 1

How do I set the 3 parameters for SMI?  And how do I reference the Trigger value for SMI?
 
Thanks

When I run the indicator above, it gives never gives me count = 1.  Can you tell me why?  I know the SMI.Value  changes from below -50 to above -50 for QQQ on April 26.  Thanks

You need to get rid of the AndAlso between Marker = 1 and Count = 1. Just put them on their own lines.

You should be able to just click on the name of the indicator on the chart and select Edit. The Period, 1st Smooth, and 2nd Smooth should be listed as options.

The trigger is just an exponential moving average of the SMI. So something like:

SMI.XAVG(10)

Would give you the value of a 10 period trigger line.

You don't set them within the RealCode. You edit the indicator (not the RealCode) and it will allow you to adjust the settigs.
