Volume Alert

[Harndog]

Hi:
I did a quick look search on Volume alerts and I found an efs I liked. The attached efs is the basic volume with a moving average.
I am wondering if this can be altered to add alerts? (I tried to do this through the wizard, but this efs is unalterable through the wizard)
What I would like is a basic volume efs that can be adjusted for MA length and volume peak. For example, on a 5 minutes ES chart I may want 30 MA of volume and to be alerted for every trade >5,000 contracts. In the YM, I may want 30 MA of volume and an alert for volume>2,000 contracts. On the NQ, I may want 3,000 or on an active stock volume >70,000.

What would also be nice is a basic volume alert for volume > 30 MA of volume.
I think these would be good basic efs's and help with teaching trade trigger techniques.
Thank you for your consideration,
Harndog

The attached efs should do what you asked.
I did not use your efs but one I had already made and that included most of the requirements. Through Edit Studies you can set the Length of the MA, the Threshold for an alert on Volume and a setting to select whether the Volume bars are painted based on the Close or Volume. Two alerts are used one for the Threshold and one for the MA

Harndog,
Being that you are interested in volume and high volume bars or spikes in volume, check this forum out. It's great for anticipating high volume spikes and price runs. There is information here in the forums about it. http://forum.esignalcentral.com/foru...s=&forumid=126

Hope this helps,
Trevor

Volume efs

Alex:
Thank you for your generosity!

A question if a efs is not created with the wizard - then it is cut and paste and going through creating an efs to figure it out?
What I asking is it through trial and error or is there another way?

Volume Alert Request

Alex:
I have been using your volume alert posted below. I am wondering if you can alter it.
What I want is to still be able to adjust the volume parameters thur edit studies (so I highlight different size trades for the ES, nq) and have an alert sent to the Triggered Alert list and flag be placed above the bar in the price window (like the Get 6/4 DMA.efs).
For example:
In the ES, I may want to set off a volume alert for all trades greater than 10,000 on a 5 minute chart. My Triggered alert window would come up as "volume alert ES 5" and a flag would appear above (if the price was lower) or below (if the price was higher).
My next fantasy would be to have the triggered alert name specific to the chart related to each specfic markets "Volume alert NQ 5" or "Volume Alert NQ 30."

Thank you in advanced if you can do this and/or thank you for your consideration if you cannot.

The attached revsion of the efs will now trigger the Alert list (see image below).
The Triggered Alert List will include information on symbol, interval and if the Volume is above the MA (Volume Alert 1) or the set Threshold (Volume Alert 2).
A flag cannot be placed in the price window as an efs cannot (yet) write to an indicator and price window concurrently.

Alex - Thank you

Alex:
Thank you for your generosity!

When eSignal can write to the price window for an indicator that will be a powerful tool to help with awareness.

My pleasure.
As far as I know that feature has been already requested but you can send in your suggestion by writing to [email protected]

A clumsy solution would be to have two nearly identical efs, one for the study pane and one for the price pane, like this one....

I just realized the code I wrote only works on historical data, this one should work realt time as well...

My favorite debugger just caught a syntax error normally not detected by the eSignal version....
