Formula Wizard

[zigzag]

build 519 has added a great new feature and it deserves it's own thread

[zigzag]

what is purpose of the wizard?

todd et al,

the new formula wizard is a great idea for us jsl (java as second language) types

nice gui! (although being able to save a formula to a specific directory would be helpful)

i've created a very simple ma crossover and checked for any syntax errors

neither that formula or any of the "canned" formulas in the wizard/alert directory seem to function when loaded into an advanced chart

oddly, each formula seems to load it's own symbol, $PREM, $SOX
is this intentional?

no actions take place upon loading (other than new symbol)
no error msgs
no formula is listed in the adv chart window
the chart behaves as if no formula is running

Using their MA crossover efs from the wizard->alerts directory I do get a change of color of the colors on my chart.

hi garth,

i just ran each "pre-written" alert formula from the wizard in a new advanced chart

b bands loads $PREM,1min
rsi loads $SOX, 1min, no data (chart blank)
linear reg break loads $GSO, 1min
ma crsvr loads $CMR, 1min

if i change the symbol and interval each of the above formulas loads its own symbol and interval

anyone else having this problem?

Formula Wizard Forum

Hey Everyone, let's move this to the Formula Wizard Forum.

zigzag, that's very odd, since there are no symbols coded into the formulas that the Formula Wizard generates. Are you sure that your AdvChart is not symbol linked anywhere? If you do this:

1. new AdvChart.
2. apply Formulas -> Wizard -> Alerts -> Whatever.
3. you're saying that the symbol changes in your chart here ??

Thanks!


The initial version of the Formula Wizard is geared more for creating alerts with the builtin studies. We will be expanding this to include easy templates for creating your own indicators or color studies.

hi dion,

yes, each alert formula calls up the symbol as i described below


my layout for esignal has no other windows open that the adv chart could be linked to

the adv chart is the only window open and the link is off

i looked at the formula and saw no mention of any symbol last night so i was bewildered

any ideas?

i've uploaded the adv chart file used in the beta file sharing area

builtin formula problem?

has anyone else reported any problems similar to my previous post below?

now i am having the same problem with efs files i have written

these are very simple formulas (32 lines of code) using simple ma's

there is no mention of time periods or symbols in these files

these same files have run successfully in the past, many times

in fact i have one such efs file running correctly in one advanced chart, but when i load it into a new adv chart it doesn't load ( i can't "edit" it or remove it) but the symbol or time period changes

i'm starting to suspect it has something to do with the builtin formulas
