question for Alex

FYI an efs cannot plot at the same time in the price and indicator panes.
The attached efs uses the crossovers of the MACD and Signal lines to trigger the trading signals, plot Buy/Sell boxes and Up/Down arrows and play a sound.
I have commented out (rather than deleted) the sections of the efs that are specifically related to plotting the MACD as an indicator in case you want to use it differently.
As with the prior efs all the parameters can be modified through Edit Studies.

(1)I am back again(g)
(2)I need to post at the bottom of any daily chart some "outside
indicators"
(3) Example see url
http://www.siliconinvestor.com/stock...msgid=19615321
(4) I am willing to update "internally" an efs with the data.
(5)Key would be a Year,Month,Day then each day would have
one entry
ex: year=2003
month=12
day=10
7
13
14
25
etc
(6) The exact number I would be using will be the "Percentage
of the 127 stocks in the Semi Group that are above their 21 day
moving average" This number is calculated by Les in the above
URL

Thanks in advance

I think that what you need here is an efs that reads those values from a file and writes them to the chart. I am afraid that I cannot be of help in this case as this is somewhat beyond me. You may want to post your request in the EFS Studies forum and see if someone is available to help.

The following request was received via PM.

I was wondering how i can get an email alert or a pop up window alert for the (tallpaw)macdstrategy.efs

The attached revision of the efs also triggers an Alert pop-up window and an email. To disable either command comment out (ie preceed the line with a //) lines 86 or 87 and 97 or 98

I feel line 60 needs " before and after
example
"Ping.wav"

Question?
Can I create a xxx.txt file to show some thing like

Stock VTSS has traded above 8.40

Larry
What efs are you referring to that needs quotes before and after?
Alex

[larrydudash]

Alex
Sorry
I forget to post efs
You do work on a few efs(g)

Here it is below:

(tallpaw)macdstrategy(2).efs

[larrydudash]

Alert
Here is correct efs

alert at x.efs

line 60
sound

[larrydudash]

Alex
Last correction

if (Sound) Alert.playSound(ding.wav);

Does ding.wav have to be "ding.wav" ?????

[ACM]

Larry
No efs was attached to any of your messages.
Irrespective yes it has to be "ding.wav"

(1) The Alert at X.EFS DID NOT WORK ON WEEKLY CHART.
(2) But it did work on Daily chart.
(3) And did not work on 5 minute chart

Question?
Do you know why ?

[ACM]

Larry
AlertatX.efs was written by JayF. I ran a search and found that he subsequently posted a revised version (that also corrects the "ding.wav" issue you reported earlier) which you can find here.

i still can't figure out how to turn on the alert so i can send an email. please tell me where i need to go, if it is in some properties or some other place, but i can't figure out how to turn on the email alert for this particular efs

The efs is already set up to send email alerts. If none are being sent you may want to view the FAQs on alerts that can be found here

sorry to bother you with this, but along with my last question about the alert as an email, if i have a 5 minute chart up, is there a way to change the alert so i get it at the time the signal is generated at not at the end of the 5 minutes?

Yes it is possible but there is no guarantee that the signal will still be true at the end of the bar. So you then have to decide if you want an alert every time the condition happens (which could mean a number of intrabar alerts) or just the first time irrespective of whether it will be confirmed at the close.

Here is some code
drawTextRelative(+2,close(0),month1+"/"+day1+","+hour1+":"+minute1+" "+sellprice+" "+rnd1(GAIN2)+"%",Color.black,Color.red,Text.FRAME |Text.BOTTOM|Text.BOLD,null,9,"sell4");

Is there some command I can insert in the above code so the
text
.................................................. .........................
month1+"/"+day1+","+hour1+":"+minute1+" "+sellprice+" "+rnd1(GAIN2)+"%
.............................................

CAN BE PLACED ON TWO LINES ON THE CHART,
rather then ONE LINE ON THE CHART ?

(1) Now prints on chart as
1/26,9:30 27.25 3.5%

(2) WANT it to print on chart as
1/26,9:30
27.25 3.5%
