RSI Color Line Bar

[striedel]

I have lost my "Holy Grail". Some how I lost one of my settings for a different time period of the color bar RSI that you helped me with. Can't find the old post. It was a cut and paste you gave me of the existing 14 period color bar RSI (library) that I was able to enter my own time frames. Need to do it with a new Stochastics too if you don't mind (color bars that is).

Thank You,

Paul

OK....Fixed the RSI problem . Now I'm working on the Stochastics. Trying to get a 5-3-3 with color line bars.

The last time Alexis gave me this code to modify the existing Builtin formula for Money Flow:

That is quite easy to implement also because you already have the upper and lower variables set up to be modified through Edit Studies ie the values used to plot the bands.
Copy the lines enclosed in the PHP box below and paste them in the efs in between the comment section "Insert your code...etc etc" and the return statement
Then in Edit Studies set the Upper and Lower variables to the levels you want
Alex

PHP:

if(vMF.getValue(MoneyFlowStudy.MONEYFLOW)>Upper)
setBarBgColor(Color.red);
if(vMF.getValue(MoneyFlowStudy.MONEYFLOW)<Lower)
setBarBgColor(Color.lime);

I tried it with Stochastic (changing the names of course) and it didn't work. Any suggestions?

Thanks,

Try running a search using stochastic as the keyword and you will find several scripts that use the stochastic study to trigger different kinds of events which you can then use as an example to create your own script.
If you are unfamiliar with programming in efs then I would suggest that you use the Formula Wizard which makes writing scripts of this kind a relatively simple task. For more information on how to use the Formula Wizard see the Formula Wizard Guide

Thanks Alexis,

This is what I have so far that still gets errors. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Paul

This is one of the charts I use daily. Would like for the Stochastic to look like the RSI. That's my goal anyway.

Thanks,

If you look at the lines just above of where you inserted your code you will see that there is a comment section (circled in red in the image enclosed below) which provides examples of the required syntax.
In your conditional statement you need to replace every instance of vMF.getValue(StochasticStudy.STOCHASTIC) with the appropriate method depending if the conditions are to be based on %K (ie FAST) or %D (ie SLOW)

That's the ticket. Just what I wanted!!! Thank You very, very much.
