I don't know what to tell you. I have it working here on two completely different setups and I know for a fact it is working on a number of other machines.
Jason may be able to shed some light on why it is not working on yours.

Graham,

Try changing your "time template"

Hello Graham,

The first thing we should test is the execution of the formula. In the code below you will notice a debugPrintln("hello") statement just above line 49, which reads: if (1==1){. Open your formula in an EFS Editor (Tools --> EFS --> Editor), add the debugPrintln("hello") statement, and save the file. Next, open up the formula output window (Tools --> EFS --> Formula Output Window) and then run your formula on an advanced chart. What this is going to tells us is whether or not the calls to "getTodayOHLC1.efs" is returning a valid result. If it is, you should see a bunch of lines of "hello" in the output window. If not, then there is a problem with the call to "getTodayOHLC1.efs." Go through this little routine and let us know what you see in the formula output window.

D.Loomis,

Thanks so much for sharing your percentage thermometer EFS. I don't know how you guys write such complex code. Not only is it brilliant, but more importantly, I think it's going to be very useful to me.

A couple of minor bugs-

For some reason a 150tick chart only goes to 33%....149t is fine, 151t is fine as are other tick intervals, it seems to just be the 150t. It's not a big deal, though I do like to use a 150t(of course, lol). Also, I noticed that there is no text for this EFS in the reload, remove, and edit windows, just a blank space. Again, not a big deal, but I thought you might want to know.

This is a great EFS!

Thanks again!
Steve

I just checked the 150t chart on the es #f and it worked ok, see pic below.

You did realize the first bar wont get to 100% because the efs satrts at 0 and the first bar might have already had a few ticks on it. The TIB counter can not be read by an efs, so I have to count them by hand in the efs and reset the count to 0 when a new bar starts.

Thanks for the feedback.

Hey D.Loomis,

Yes, The ES #F is fine, It just seems to be the NQ #F (kinda weird), oh well. Thanks again,

Steve

[dloomis]

hmm, strange. Works here.

Jason,
here is an attempt to put the image on this forum.
if i dont get it right i'll come back and type in the formula output window,

Thanks
Graham

[GDAVIS01]

sorry bout that jason,


the message is :

OHLC\thermometer test.efs, line 27 : cannot find formula: /OHLC/getTodayOHLC1.efs


Also to DLoomis i am glad my formula is working properly that you sent me - i appreciate it very much,
Thanks
Graham

I get the same error message, Line 37 can not find formula/OHLC/get TODAY OHLC1.efs

Graham and gooch2200
Can you please do the following.
Using the Editor go to the OHLC subfolder of the Formulas folder and open the getTodayOHLC1.efs
Then copy the contents and paste them in a message to this thread.

Hello Graham and gooch2200,

Also, check to make sure your Formula Root is set to the Formulas folder of your active eSignal folder.
Go to Tools --> EFS --> Settings.
It should look something like this.



If your formula root is set correctly, then you're copy of getTodayOHLC1.efs
just needs to be moved to the \eSignal\Formulas\OHLC\ folder.

I'm sorry, but I am still very new to this program. I was able to open the formula, but I don't know how to copy it.

I also checked the EFS settings and they are correct. I'm still getting the same syntax error message.

No problem, here is what you do.
Once you have opened the efs with the Editor put the cursor at the beginning of Line 1. Then hit <Shift>+<Ctrl>+<End> keys. This will highlight all of the script. Click the Copy icon then Paste the contents in a message to this thread.
Alex

[gooch2200]

Thanks for your help and patience. I have pasted the formula below.

I am also getting error message. Formula Output box
OHLC\thermometer.efs, line 37 can not find formula: /OHLC/getTodayOHLC.efs
