How do I get these two custom indicators into Blocks. L<((2.95*MINL15.7)-MAXH7.3)/2 AND STOC50.3<10 AND L((3.05*MAXH15.7)-MINL7.3)/2 AND H>H1 AND STOC50.3>50

For L<((2.95*MINL15.7)-MAXH7.3)/2 AND STOC50.3<10, you may wish to try the following RealCode Condition:

Static Avg3Stoc50 As Single
If isFirstBar Then Avg3Stoc50 = 0
If CurrentIndex >= 50 Then Avg3Stoc50 += _
        100 * (Price.Last - Price.MinLow(50)) / _
        (Price.MaxHigh(50) - Price.MinLow(50)) / 3
If CurrentIndex >= 53 Then Avg3Stoc50 -= _
        100 * (Price.Last(3) - Price.MinLow(50,3)) / _
        (Price.MaxHigh(50,3) - Price.MinLow(50,3)) / 3
If CurrentIndex >= 52 Then
    If Price.Low < (2.95 * Price.MinLow(15,7) - _
        Price.MaxHigh(7,3)) / 2 And _
        Avg3Stoc50 < 10 Then Pass
Else
    SetIndexInvalid
End If

Unfortunately, L((3.05*MAXH15.7)-MINL7.3)/2 AND H>H1 AND STOC50.3>50 doesn't make sense in TeleChart's Personal Criteria Formula Language. It is the L(( portion without anything between the L and the opening parenthesis that is the problem.

Thanks Bruce,Let me correct my mistake. It should be:H>((3.05*MAXH15.7)-MINL7.3)/2 AND H>H1 AND STOC50.3>50

I am sorry, could I also get the additional code for the color, The first code you already help with should be Green and the second should be red.Michael

It reads like you are using this as a RealCode Paint Brush or RealCode Indicator instead of as a RealCode Condition. Select RealCode Editor | Condition to bring up the correct window in which to paste the RealCode.

For H>((3.05*MAXH15.7)-MINL7.3)/2 AND H>H1 AND STOC50.3>50, you may wish to try the following RealCode Condition:

Static Avg3Stoc50 As Single
If isFirstBar Then Avg3Stoc50 = 0
If CurrentIndex >= 50 Then Avg3Stoc50 += _
        100 * (Price.Last - Price.MinLow(50)) / _
        (Price.MaxHigh(50) - Price.MinLow(50)) / 3
If CurrentIndex >= 53 Then Avg3Stoc50 -= _
        100 * (Price.Last(3) - Price.MinLow(50,3)) / _
        (Price.MaxHigh(50,3) - Price.MinLow(50,3)) / 3
If CurrentIndex >= 52 Then
    If Price.High > (3.05 * Price.MaxHigh(15,7) - _
        Price.MinLow(7,3)) / 2 And _
        Price.High > Price.High(1) And _
        Avg3Stoc50 > 50 Then Pass
Else
    SetIndexInvalid
End If

You can select the Color you wish to use for the Condition by changing the Condition Color at the bottom of the RealCode Editor (and you can Drag and Drop the Condition from the Condition Palette to the Chart to Plot it).

You can color other Plots using a Condition by right-clicking on the Plot you wish to Paint, selecting New Paint Brush (or Edit Paint Brush if it already has a Paint Brush) and then Dragging and Dropping the Condition from the Condition Palette into the Conditional Colors tab of the Paint Brush.

OK Bruce,

You definitely rock!  Last question.  In TC, it plots a green/red line from bottom to the top of the chart.  It appears that in blocks, it just puts a little line at the bottom of the chart.  Any way to make it more distinguishable.

thanks again,

Michael

You could create RealCode Indicators instead of RealCode Conditions. L<((2.95*MINL15.7)-MAXH7.3)/2 AND STOC50.3<10 becomes:

Static Avg3Stoc50 As Single
If isFirstBar Then Avg3Stoc50 = 0
If CurrentIndex >= 50 Then Avg3Stoc50 += _
        100 * (Price.Last - Price.MinLow(50)) / _
        (Price.MaxHigh(50) - Price.MinLow(50)) / 3
If CurrentIndex >= 53 Then Avg3Stoc50 -= _
        100 * (Price.Last(3) - Price.MinLow(50,3)) / _
        (Price.MaxHigh(50,3) - Price.MinLow(50,3)) / 3
If CurrentIndex >= 52 Then
    If Price.Low < (2.95 * Price.MinLow(15,7) - _
        Price.MaxHigh(7,3)) / 2 And _
        Avg3Stoc50 < 10 Then
        Plot = 100
    Else
        Plot = 0
    End If
Else
    Plot = Single.NaN
End If

While H>((3.05*MAXH15.7)-MINL7.3)/2 AND H>H1 AND STOC50.3>50 becomes:

Static Avg3Stoc50 As Single
If isFirstBar Then Avg3Stoc50 = 0
If CurrentIndex >= 50 Then Avg3Stoc50 += _
        100 * (Price.Last - Price.MinLow(50)) / _
        (Price.MaxHigh(50) - Price.MinLow(50)) / 3
If CurrentIndex >= 53 Then Avg3Stoc50 -= _
        100 * (Price.Last(3) - Price.MinLow(50,3)) / _
        (Price.MaxHigh(50,3) - Price.MinLow(50,3)) / 3
If CurrentIndex >= 52 Then
    If Price.High > (3.05 * Price.MaxHigh(15,7) - _
        Price.MinLow(7,3)) / 2 And _
        Price.High > Price.High(1) And _
        Avg3Stoc50 > 50 Then
        Plot = 100
    Else
        Plot = 0
    End If
Else
    Plot = Single.NaN
End If

The Indicators Plot 0 for False and 100 for True like what would happen with a Custom Percent True Indicator in TeleChart. If you Plot them in the same Pane as another Indicator, you will most likely want to Plot them on their own Scale (right-click on the Indicator and select Scale With | On Own Scale).
