Momentum Paint Bar

In the attached efs file, I originally wanted to use ((h+l+c+o)/4) to compute the osc. formula but resulted in syntax errors. When I changed to (close) it worked fine.

Can someone help me understand why this is the result?\

Try using "OHLC/4" in place of "Close"

Alex, sorry, that is exactly what I used. That is the syntax in the drop down window. Tried it again and it does not work....Only with the (Close).

Seems to be working if I use "OHLC/4" (see attached)

Alex,

Beats the heck out of me. I have attached the error window that comes up when I use (hlco/4)

I may complete delete the formula and start over.

Now that I see your error message I understand what is happening.
I believe you are using an older version of eSignal where the Formula Wizard inserts an error.
In the Line where it says
var vPriceOsc3_10_of_OHLC/4 = new OscStudy(3,10,"OHLC/4",false);
edit it with the Editor and change it to
var vPriceOsc3_10_of_OHLC4 = new OscStudy(3,10,"OHLC/4",false);
The error is in the first OHLC/4 which should read OHLC4

Alex,

Thanks for your reply. I deleted the "/" and it still did not work.

I am using 7.2 Build 544 1/27/03 which is the latest version available on the Esignal website except for the 7.3 beta.

Any other suggestions?

Try the attached. It is working here

Did you remove the / in the right side of the formula

var vPriceOsc3_10_of_OHLC4 = new OscStudy(3,10,"OHLC4",false);


as well?

Sorry forgot to mention that you need to substitute throughout the formula every instance of vPriceOsc3_10_of_OHLC/4 with vPriceOsc3_10_of_OHLC4 otherwise it will give you a variable not defined (or something like that) error.

Yes and here is what I have .

var vPriceOsc3_10_of_OHLC4 = new OscStudy(3, 10, "OHLC4", false);
var vPriceOsc4_16_of_OHLC4 = new OscStudy(4, 16, "OHLC4", false);


and then lower in the formula

if (
vPriceOsc3_10_of_OHLC4.getValue(OscStudy.OSC) <= 0 &&
vPriceOsc4_16_of_OHLC4.getValue(OscStudy.OSC) <= 0
) onAction1()
//}}EFSWizard_Expression_1 18981

//{{EFSWizard_Expression_2
else if (
vPriceOsc3_10_of_OHLC4.getValue(OscStudy.OSC) > 0 &&
vPriceOsc4_16_of_OHLC4.getValue(OscStudy.OSC) > 0
) onAction2();

Now I get the attached error.

????

I am as confused as Hogan's Goat.

Thanks for your patience.

You only need to change the OHLC/4 to OHLC4 where the variable name is used
ie in vPriceOsc3_10_of_OHLC/4 not where it says new OscStudy(3,
10, "OHLC/4", false);. There it must still be "OHLC/4"

Whew!!!

Thank you.

What version of esignal are you running that mine is an older version.

Thanks again.

Re: Reply to post 'Momentum Paint Bar'

Build 578 ie the beta. Actually yours is the latest official release.
For that version I believe Dion had released a Globals.xml file that is used
by the Formula Wizard and that corrected this and a couple of other issues.
Don't know where it was posted though. Try doing a Search on the Bulletin
Board

Fabrizio found the Globals.xml file for me and it is available at the link below.
Just in case I would suggest making a copy of the existing one in your eSignal folder before overwriting it with this update
