Questions about Planned EFS System Development

[pghostine]

Hey everyone,

I recently purchased eSignal, and I'm looking to automate a trading system that I've been using for a while. Specifically, I'm looking to do the following:

1. Color-code moving averages such that when they're trending up or down, they're displayed in a different color.

2. Label my own wave count on price movement.

3. Label and color-code other indicators, such as MACD and stochastics.

My question is: can I add the desired enhancements to the built-in eSignal price chart, studies and indicators? If not, will I need to build my own indicators from scratch using the well-known formulas for each indicator? And as far as the price chart is concerned, can I label and draw lines on the built-in price chart, or will I also need to draw my own price chart from scratch, labeling it as required according to my trading system?

Thanks in advance for your response.

...will I need to build my own indicators from scratch using the well-known formulas for each indicator?

You will need to do that to accomplish points 1 and 3 of your list

And as far as the price chart is concerned, can I label and draw lines on the built-in price chart, or will I also need to draw my own price chart from scratch...

You do not need to draw your own price chart. Formulas can write and/or draw in the price chart.
Search the forums and you will find hundreds of scripts and examples of what you are trying to do
