Basic studies

[Marknav]

Hello,

I have a question about basic studies.

When I choose for ex. Stocastic from basic studies, and then I want to add few more horizontal line to it, without considering those ones already included(20 and 80), how can I do that?

Thanks

Best regards

Here is the original code basicStoch.efs from this folder C:\Program Files\eSignal\Formulas\EFS 2 Basic

    addBand( 80, PS_SOLID, 1, Color.black,"Upper");
    addBand( 20, PS_SOLID, 1, Color.black,"Lower");
}

function main() {
    return new Array (stochK(14,1,3),stochD(14,1,3));
} 

Now, I will add three additional bands:

} 

I hope this helps. I attached the modified file as well

Hi, Thanks.

Still a doubt.

When I right click on the modified stocastic, and then choose EDIT, I can't determine from that window at what level horizontal lines should be displayed( are preconfigured) . While in the basic stocastic I can choose where to place them, but the choice is only between two lines and no more.


Also If I want to change the setting of the stocastic I can't.

I'm going to include a picture of what I see.

In basic studies, you are limited in what you can modify, as you pointed out. What I showed you was how to add a line to an efs (without provision to modify it from the edit studies window).

If you want to add this and also have the ability to edit parameters from the edit studies window, you will have to learn how to create an efs that meets your particular requirements. To that end, I would recommend going through the product training available here.

In addition, if you look in the EFS2 advanced folder and pull up the stochastic efs in that folder, you will find it is likely closer to what you want.
