Topic: Calculation in all the tabs
Posted: Monday, February 8, 2010 7:25:33 PM
Kuf,

Unfortunately that is not working for me. I have MA's of Volume on the volume pane that are referenced by conditions on the Price History pane. These will not calculate unless I unpin the volume pane. Once they have calculated I can then pin the pane. I don't know if they will update after that with the pane pinned.

Topic: For those with data connection issues
Posted: Wednesday, January 20, 2010 8:28:25 PM
Kuf,

Today I had a connection issue. When I started SF5 It would show stream as connected. On the chart it says Data Updating Minute Connect Failed - No Login Information. It stays like that for ten minutes (yes I timed it). I contacted support and after working with them they suggested that I post here. The chat ID for the last time is Chat SessionID:18131534. Unfortunately I don't have the ID# for the first one. They had me send a log file to them as well.

Thanks for all your good work.

Bruce,

In the Topic "Painting Bars to Reflect Change in Trend" url: forums.worden.com/Default.aspx

you posted the following code:

Static State As Color
If CurrentIndex >= 2 Then
    If Price.High >= Price.MaxHigh(2, 1) Then
        If Price.Low <= Price.MinLow(2, 1) Then
            State = Color.Yellow
        Else
            State = Color.Lime
        End If
    Else If Price.Low <= Price.MinLow(2, 1) Then
        State = Color.Red
    End If   
Else
    State = Color.White
End If
PlotColor = State

I am trying to turn it into separate conditions, but they are not firing correctly. The code I have follows:

Ver. 1

If CurrentIndex >= 2 Then
 If Price.High >= Price.MaxHigh(2, 1) AndAlso _
  Price.Low <= Price.MinLow(2, 1) Then
  Pass
 End If
End If

Ver. 2

If CurrentIndex >= 2 AndAlso _
  Price.High >= Price.MaxHigh(2, 1) AndAlso _
  Price.Low <= Price.MinLow(2, 1) Then
  Pass

Any enlightenment would be appreciated.

Thanks

Topic: Custom WatchList Columns
Posted: Wednesday, January 20, 2010 11:15:31 AM
Hi,

In StockFinder v4, I created a custom column by right clicking, selecting New column and picking Symbol, Text, Numeric, and so on. How can I do this in StockFinder v4.9 without having to create an indicator? I also would like to know if there is a way to save these custom columns so that I can load them into other layouts without having to recreate them for each layout.

Thanks

Bruce,

I'm trying to convert this code to a rule that gives me a true condition when one of the colors is true. If there are more than two bars of the same color in a row then it will not fire correctly. Here is the code I have so far for the yellow condition:

If CurrentIndex >= 2 Then
 If Price.High >= Price.MaxHigh(2, 1) AndAlso _
  Price.Low <= Price.MinLow(2, 1) Then
  Pass
 End If
End If

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,

Matman

gobothways,

I'm having the same problem. I did the live chat support. Ultimately they reset their servers and things worked better for the rest of the day. I had purchased a brand new laptop on the 29th of December so it is pretty much bare bones right now. I have FireFox, Office 2003, Visual Studio 2008, thinkorswim, notepad++ loaded along with what came on the laptop. I have not loaded TeleChart yet. The specs are:

CPU: Intel Core 2Duo T6600
Memory: 6GB DDR2Ram
O/S: Windows Home Premium 64-bit

My old laptop:
CPU: Intel Core 2Duo T5500
Memory: 2GB DDR2Ram
O/S: Windows Pro ServPack 3

I have a ton of stuff loaded on that one and StockFinder runs about the same.

I have found that if I shut off my wireless adapter then StockFinder will run fine after about 30 seconds to a minute. It seems that the Data Downloader may be pumping the data faster than StockFinder can handle. I have to do this several times a day during market hours. After market hours I usually only have to do it once or twice.
The layout I am using has two charts. The standard Main chart with Price and volume and one MA for each. The other has 27 indicators Thats Price, Volume, CCI, RSI, a Custom indicator and things like Bollinger bands and Moving averages. I also have 15 Rules. My watchlist has 131 stocks in it. 
I am also having problems where StockFinder pops up and says there is a problem and send report or Windows has a problem with StockFinder and sends a report to Microsoft. I have not these problems with m old laptop.

What are you running for a system? Are you having any other problems?

Bruce,

After the rework will the info on the blocks for the block diagrams still be available?

Thanks

Bruce,

Thank you, I'll give it a go and let you know how it works. I won't be able to get to it until later.
Thanks again.

Topic: Linear Regression Trendlines
Posted: Thursday, April 30, 2009 12:57:09 PM

Hi Bruce,

The reason I have been asking is that I have written a RealCode indicator that gives me the angle of my Linear Regression Trendlines. This works well when used on Stochastics as the scale is 0 - 100. I use the LRT period as my X scale and the LRT value as the Y scale. The angle given remains constant throughout zoom levels and of course it changes when I change the charts from Daily to Min. I asked because I wanted to move back one bar at a time to do some visual backtesting. 
The only other question I have is this - Is the Linear Regression Trendline Period property exposed to RealCode?

If you are interested here is the code I wrote:

'***************************************
'* Gives the angle of LR Trendline     *
'***************************************

'# LRT = indicator.LinearRegressionTrendline

Dim Angle As Single
Dim Period As Integer
Period = 35
 
If LRT.Value = LRT.Value(1) Then
 Angle = 0
 Plot = Angle
Else If LRT.Value < LRT.Value(1) Then
 Angle = -90 - (System.Math.Atan(Period / (LRT.Value - LRT.Value(1))) * (180.0 / System.Math.PI))
 Plot = Angle
Else
 Angle = 90 - (System.Math.Atan(Period / (LRT.Value - LRT.Value(1))) * (180.0 / System.Math.PI))
 Plot = Angle
End If

Thanks for the help.
