Where are AGET studies documented

[smeyer55]

I was wondering if there is better documentation for the AGET studies than what's in the EFS knowledge base.

I'm trying to code some strategies using the studies and it would be great to know what they return under various conditions. I have some code I got from the file share area that helps on some of the studies, but other ones are not used.

What some of the methods return is obvious from their chart usage, but things like GetElliotTriggerStudy don't have a corresponding chart study.

Specifially I would like more information on GetElliotTriggerStudy and what it's methods return. The GetElliotStudy WAVE, W5PROJECTION1, W5PROJECTION2 return values, and the GetPivotsStudy PIVOTS return value.

Thanks,

Steve

As far as I know that is all there is currently available however it is my understanding that eSignal is working on expanding it.

What some of the methods return is obvious from their chart usage, but things like GetElliotTriggerStudy don't have a corresponding chart study.

Actually the Elliott Trigger is a chart study available under Chart Options-> AdvancedGET Studies.
You can see an example in the following screenshot in which I am also plotting the enclosed script that uses the GetElliottTriggerStudy() function.
Note that there is an issue with this function at this time. It is supposed to take one parameter to set the Term but this is not implemented. As far as I know eSignal's developers are aware of this and a fix should be implemented in one of the next releases.

function preMain(){
    setStudyTitle("Elliott Trigger");
    setCursorLabelName("Trigger");
}

var TriggerStudy = null;

function main(){

    if(TriggerStudy==null) TriggerStudy = new GetElliottTriggerStudy();
    addBand(0,PS_SOLID,1,Color.black,"0");
    
    var nTriggerValue = TriggerStudy.getValue(GetElliottTriggerStudy.TRIG);
    if(nTriggerValue==null) return;

    return nTriggerValue;
}

Specifially I would like more information on GetElliotTriggerStudy and what it's methods return. The GetElliotStudy WAVE, W5PROJECTION1, W5PROJECTION2 return values, and the GetPivotsStudy PIVOTS return value.

For the GetElliottTriggerStudy see my prior message. For the other functions here is the information I have together with some examples.

- The GetElliotStudy.WAVE method returns the following [on the bar on which the wave is identified)
1, 2, 3, 4 and 5 for up waves 1 through 5 and corresponding negative values for down waves 1 through 5
7, 8, 9 for up waves A, B and C and corresponding negative values for down waves A, B and C
Here is a code example and resulting chart

function preMain() {
    setPriceStudy(true);
    setStudyTitle("wave ColorBgBar");
    setShowCursorLabel(false);
}
 
var ElliottWave = new GetElliottStudy(300, 0, 50, 5, 35, 0);
 
function main() {
 
    var nWave = ElliottWave .getValue(GetElliottStudy.WAVE);
    
    debugPrintln(getCurrentBarIndex()+"  "+nWave);
    
    if(nWave==1) setBarBgColor(Color.RGB(221,254,204));
    if(nWave==2) setBarBgColor(Color.RGB(105,254,33));
    if(nWave==3) setBarBgColor(Color.RGB(47,221,20));
    if(nWave==4) setBarBgColor(Color.RGB(49,148,0));
    if(nWave==5) setBarBgColor(Color.RGB(27,85,0));
    
    if(nWave==-1) setBarBgColor(Color.RGB(255,212,212));
    if(nWave==-2) setBarBgColor(Color.RGB(255,161,161));
    if(nWave==-3) setBarBgColor(Color.RGB(255,100,100));
    if(nWave==-4) setBarBgColor(Color.RGB(255,10,10));
    if(nWave==-5) setBarBgColor(Color.RGB(191,0,0));
    
    if(nWave==7) setBarBgColor(Color.RGB(195,195,255));
    if(nWave==8) setBarBgColor(Color.RGB(63,63,255));
    if(nWave==9) setBarBgColor(Color.RGB(0,0,178));
    
    if(nWave==-7) setBarBgColor(Color.RGB(255,229,89));
    if(nWave==-8) setBarBgColor(Color.RGB(242,204,0));
    if(nWave==-9) setBarBgColor(Color.RGB(182,154,0));
    
    return;
} 

In any script that makes use of the GetElliottStudy() you will need to take into consideration that the wave recognition is dynamic which means that the waves could be renumbered in real time as the market evolves.

- The GetElliotStudy W5PROJECTION1, W5PROJECTION2 return the values of the two wave 5 projections. The wave projections are marked on the chart with a number enclosed by dashes eg -5- or -4-
Here is a code example and the resulting chart

function preMain() {
    setPriceStudy(true);
    setStudyTitle("wave 5 Projections");
    setShowCursorLabel(false);
}
 
var ElliottWave = new GetElliottStudy(300, 0, 50, 5, 35, 0);
 
function main() {
 
    var nWaveProj5_1 = ElliottWave.getValue(GetElliottStudy.W5PROJECTION1);
    var nWaveProj5_2 = ElliottWave.getValue(GetElliottStudy.W5PROJECTION2);
    
    if(nWaveProj5_1==null||nWaveProj5_2==null) return;
    
    drawTextRelative(3, nWaveProj5_1, formatPriceNumber(nWaveProj5_1), Color.blue, null, 
                    Text.VCENTER|Text.BOLD, "Arial", 11, "Proj1");
    drawTextRelative(3, nWaveProj5_2, formatPriceNumber(nWaveProj5_2), Color.blue, null, 
                    Text.VCENTER|Text.BOLD, "Arial", 11, "Proj2");
    
    return;
} 

Hope this helps in the mean time

Lastly here is some information and example on the GET Pivots study
The method returns the values of 1 through 4 for upper Primary, Major, Intermediate and Minor Pivots and negative values 1 through 4 for the corresponding lower Pivots

function preMain() {
    setPriceStudy(true);
    setStudyTitle("Pivots")
    setShowCursorLabel(false);
    setDefaultFont("Arial",11,Color.blue,Text.CENTER|Text.BOLD)
}

var Pivots = new GetPivotsStudy();

function main() {

    var nPivots = Pivots.getValue(GetPivotsStudy.PIVOTS);
    if(nPivots==null) return;
    
    if(nPivots==1) drawText("P", AboveBar1, Color.blue, null, "PrimaryU"+getCurrentBarCount());
    if(nPivots==2) drawText("J", AboveBar1, Color.blue, null, "MajorU"+getCurrentBarCount());
    if(nPivots==3) drawText("I", AboveBar1, Color.blue, null, "InterU"+getCurrentBarCount());
    if(nPivots==4) drawText("M", AboveBar1, Color.blue, null, "MinorU"+getCurrentBarCount());

    if(nPivots==-1) drawText("P", BelowBar1, Color.red, null, "PrimaryD"+getCurrentBarCount());
    if(nPivots==-2) drawText("J", BelowBar1, Color.red, null, "MajorD"+getCurrentBarCount());
    if(nPivots==-3) drawText("I", BelowBar1, Color.red, null, "InterD"+getCurrentBarCount());
    if(nPivots==-4) drawText("M", BelowBar1, Color.red, null, "MinorD"+getCurrentBarCount());
    
    return ;
} 

The above screenshot shows a comparison between the hard coded GET Pivots study (top chart) and the enclosed script
Hope this helps

Thanks Alex,

That information is very helpful and just what I was looking for.
