Code Modification Help?

[ishankey]

Hi,

I've been trying to figure out how to modify BidAskRatio.efs to do the following:

Display a Blue positive histogram bar when Ask-Bid is positive, and current price is above opening price.
Display a Green positive histogram bar when Ask-Bid is negative, but current price is above opening price.
Display a Yellow negative histogram bar when Ask-Bid is negative, and current price is below opening price.
Display a Red negative histogram bar when Ask-Bid is positive, but current price is below opening price.

Detect Divergence between Price & Histogram Readings.

Unfortunately, my EFS coding skills suck. I was hoping someone could help me with this?

Thanks in Advance,

Ian

Hi,

Here is a quick version of what you requested.
Note that I have found divergence very hard to code correctly and what I did is not by any means perfect. I just added modified code from Chris D. Kryza (Divergence Software, Inc.) http://share.esignal.com/groupconten...es&groupid=114
He also sells a professionally coded divergence study.

Display a Blue positive histogram bar when Ask-Bid is positive, and current price is above opening price.
Display a Green positive histogram bar when Ask-Bid is negative, but current price is above opening price.
Display a Yellow negative histogram bar when Ask-Bid is negative, and current price is below opening price.
Display a Red negative histogram bar when Ask-Bid is positive, but current price is below opening price.

I coded the above conditions as you requested and as shown in the table below except for bars that don't meet any of your criteria in which case they are colored grey:

up bar & b/a pos = blue
up bar & b/a neg = green then changed b/a histogram bar from neg to pos
dn bar & b/a pos = red then changed b/a histogram bar from pos to neg
dn bar & b/a neg = yellow

However the graph in the picture you sent contradicts some of the above conditions:
green & blue bars depict positive bid/ask with both up and down bars
yellow bars depict negative bid/ask with both up and down bars

I leave any testing to you.

Wow, Thanks for the help, Wayne! I'll test this out & play around with the Code as I am learning EFS scripting. Also, I'll post any modifications/changes I make as my skills improve here for all to see. Once again, thank you VERY much for your help.
