Formula Wizard questions

[greg108]

I followed MA of RSI creation example and ran into problem:
1. Indicator works, but it is tightly canned.
All I can edit is the color.
It doesn't provide options to edit length of RSI or MA from the chart Edit Studies menu. I have to go through wizard every time. That's not good and not right.

The same thing happens with any indicator built in Formula Wizard.
How to make length, offset options present?

2. Efs function library lists more built in functions that are available in Formula Wizard.
What about that Juric.MAs built in functions?

I am looking for something like that or Least Square Moving Average build in function.
I want to build a Juric ma of a Simple.MA with length and offset options present in the menu.

I don't insist on Juric. Any similar least square formula will do.

So Woody’s LeastSquare.MA of a Simple.MA with length and offset options present.

I wish you expand functionality of Formula Wizard or explain how to do that. As of right now it isn't complete or explained or both.

Thanks,

Greg.

The Formula Wizard's main purpose is to provide an easy and quick way for many to write some code using basic studies and, as already mentioned in this and other forums, it has some limitations in its current first iteration.
Amongst these limitations are the fact that you cannot edit the parameters to pass on to the built-in studies - other than with the FW itself - or use studies other than the builtins.

Dion Loy has already hinted that this will change at some point in the future when eSignal will release revised versions of the efs language and of the Formula Wizard which will greatly enhance both.

In the mean time you can create some studies on studies (for builtins) in a different way using the Editor. Attached is an example of an MA of RSI where all the parameters can be modified through Edit Studies.

Could you be more specific at what projected time in the future revised version with all these good features would be available.
Will it take few weeks? few months? few quarters? few years?

I am very much anxious to see that. Also I have to come up with the decision whether I should switch from TS to e-Signal now or at that later brighter day into the future when writing formulas would be easy and more intraday data for testing available?

I believe Java has a greater potential then Easy language if you do it right.

Futuristically yours,

Could you please add least square MA to built in functions before that major upgrade, Pleeeeease?

You have Exponential, Weighted,Volume Weighted, Simple, but not Least Square.

I have to trade now and I can sharpen the other indicators with that one using Formula Wizard even in the present state of e-Signal development.

Make it a deal,
I want to stay.

Thanks.

Have you tried this LSMA?

I have it. There is another one free by the name rafter.efs or movetrend.

I am not that good at writing code and to be honest don't have time to work on code, I have to trade, but if you put it in build in functions then I can edit and blend the indicators to desired state in formula Wizard.

It works well even in present unpolished condition, it just not state of the art.

It's all about detail; it always matters, but thanks for a general idea.

E-Signal is generally good platform with a lot of unleashed potential and bugs to fix. Keep up good work.

May be you can write me those lines in meanwhile. I need
1. LSMA of LSMA with editable length
2. Percentage channel of LSMA of Simple.MA with shifting and periods and % editable on all levels.

If you had LSMA in built in functions, I wouldn't bother you, I would use formula Wizard.
