Topic: custom MACD...probable syntax error

*************************************************
I received that T1 Macd from the trader below. I've been using it as an efs page formula thru esignal . But I have not been able to get in touch with her since.

In reference to my previous post of 2/21 on the long winded Macd. I was wondering if it possible to have up to 5 variants in a Macd ?
I see the First 3 Function Parameters are 3,22,100. respectively .
Then it seems to have a 4th one that has a mixture of Open , High , low ,close for the 1st 4 options on it and a "HL/2" then a "HLC/3", "OHLC/4" and a final Default "Close"
Could this be an 8-way average for the 4th Function parameter ?
Then there is a 5th Function parameter as an Sma ?

also it is supposed to be a Macd histogram charting as a line rather than a vertical charting method. I could send u the attachment I have , to your email address.

It is a Macd indicator they call T1 Macd Hist.efs. I Was using it from esignal. It seems to help signify the topping or bottoming pressure of a stock.
I also have a pg for esig i could send

I have a custom Macd . It's basis is 3,22,100 . When I put this into the tele chart it doesn't look the same. When I went back to get a breakdown of its actual formula I got:
var vMACD = null;
function preMain() {
setStudyTitle("MACD");
setCursorLabelName("MACDHist",0);
setCursorLabelName("MACD",1);
setCursorLabelName("MACDSig",2);
setDefaultBarFgColor(Color.black,0);
setDefaultBarFgColor(Color.white,1);
setDefaultBarFgColor(Color.white,2);
setDefaultBarThickness(3,0);
setDefaultBarThickness(1,1);
setDefaultBarThickness(1,2);
setPlotType(PLOTTYPE_LINE);
addBand(0, PS_SOLID, 2, Color.black, "0");

var fp1 = new FunctionParameter("Fast", FunctionParameter.NUMBER);
fp1.setLowerLimit(1);
fp1.setDefault(3); //Edit this value to set a new default

var fp2 = new FunctionParameter("Slow", FunctionParameter.NUMBER);
fp2.setLowerLimit(1);
fp2.setDefault(22); //Edit this value to set a new default

var fp3 = new FunctionParameter("Smoothing", FunctionParameter.NUMBER);
fp3.setLowerLimit(1);
fp3.setDefault(100); //Edit this value to set a new default

var fp4 = new FunctionParameter("Source", FunctionParameter.STRING);
fp4.setName("Source");
fp4.addOption("Close");
fp4.addOption("High");
fp4.addOption("Low");
fp4.addOption("Open");
fp4.addOption("HL/2");
fp4.addOption("HLC/3");
fp4.addOption("OHLC/4");
fp4.setDefault("Close"); //Edit this value to set a new default

var fp5 = new FunctionParameter("TypeOsc", FunctionParameter.BOOLEAN);
fp5.setName("SMA (Oscillator)");
fp5.setDefault(false); //Edit this value to set a new default

var fp5 = new FunctionParameter("TypeSig", FunctionParameter.BOOLEAN);
fp5.setName("SMA (Signal)");
fp5.setDefault(false); //Edit this value to set a new default

}
function main(Fast, Slow, Smoothing, Source, TypeOsc, TypeSig) {
if (vMACD == null) vMACD = new MACDStudy(Fast, Slow, Smoothing, Source, TypeOsc, TypeSig);

/*********************************************

return new Array (vMACD.getValue(MACDStudy.HIST),vMACD.getValue(MACDStudy.MACD),vMACD.getValue(MACDStudy.SIGNAL));

I just got the cd at the trade show. After I download the Cd - (it says this must be done by 2/20/05) will I be able to enter this New scan for (Macd,Cci,%r) on a daily or mthly or wkly or 60 min chart type of scan - and get delayed info up to the time cd was created . This would allow me to see that it works ? Also i put in the search for Williams %R and nothing came back . Thanks

I am also interested in the Daily ,wkly and mthly scans.I want to do it with the Macd and Cci and Williams %R ? can it be effectively done and can they be done simultaneously (all 3 indicators same time) ? The basic Macd I am using is 3,22,100. What formula would I use ? Thanks
