SAR set to open prices only

[peterkl]

How can I set up SAR set to OPEN prices only
so the oscillator don't change on the last price
once new bar pops up on the screen?

[TS Support]

Hi Pterkl,

Try to add setComputeOnClose(); into the preMain function:

function preMain(){
    setStudyTitle("Sample");
    setComputeOnClose();
}

Regards,
Andy

Dear Andy,

Thank You very much for the reply.
The formula works OK, but it always calculates the last "close" price.

My study is based on Open prices and I would love to have
Parabolic SAR based on open prices, so once it is established on the screen
(I use line charts set to Open price source) it doesn't change
(unlike close price that follow the very LAST price of the market).
Is there a formula that calculate oscillators based on Open rather then
Close price source???
What should I add/change to this formula to have it calculated only on OPEN
price source:


var study = new ParabolicStudy(0.02, 0.02, 0.2);

function preMain() {
setPriceStudy(true);
setPlotType(PLOTTYPE_SQUAREWAVE,0);
setDefaultBarThickness(6, 0);
setStudyTitle("PKTEMP");
}

function main() {
sar0=study.getValue(ParabolicStudy.STOP);
return sar0;
}


Really appreciate your help,


Regards,

Hello Peter,

This study is based on previous bar's highs and lows. I don't think it is a simple matter of changing the price source to be based on open prices.

Jason,

Do you know if I can setup the OPEN source on this study:

var study = new ParabolicStudy(0.02, 0.02, 0.2);

function preMain() {
setPriceStudy(true);
setPlotType(PLOTTYPE_DOT)
setDefaultBarThickness(6);
}

function main() {
return study.getValue(ParabolicStudy.STOP);
}

Thank You,
Peter

Hi there guys,

Do you know if "" setComputeOnClose(); "" can be modified to
"" setComputeOnOpen(); "" ??? Or is there any other function
that will calculate the on screen line/tick charts to "what you
see is what you get"??

Thanks
Peter

[dloomis]

if you want to calc on the first tick of a new bar use

if(getBarState==BARSTATE_NEWBAR){
...
}

[peterkl]

RE: Reply to post 'SAR set to open prices only'

Thank You dloomis,

I don't know much about the Java scripts,
How would you add this line
if(getBarState==BARSTATE_NEWBAR){

to the formula below:

var study = new ParabolicStudy(0.02, 0.02, 0.2);
function preMain() {
setPriceStudy(true);
setPlotType(PLOTTYPE_SQUAREWAVE)
setDefaultBarThickness(4);
}

function main(){
return study.getValue(ParabolicStudy.STOP);
}

All I want is to caclulate the Parabolic SAR only
on the very first Open price source of the time interval.
REALLY appreciate your help,
Regards,
Peter

Thank You dloomis,

Will this formula calculate SAR based on only first
tick of the time interval and don't change until
the next one? I was looking for "one at the time
interval picture, so it doesn't change after being
drawn on the screen.

Peter

This will only update ionce per bar and not change until the start of the next bar - is the first tick of each bar will draw a new sar.

Thank You dloomis,

I REALLY appreciate your work,
Will test it and let you know.
My idea is to design trading based on
"what you see is what you get", that
takes the emotional part of the trading.
Is there any other way to contact you
directly???

Best Regards,
Peter

[dloomis]

There are other ways to get ahold of me but this public forum is propably the best.

That way more people can benefit for the ideas.

I understand,
Will give you my feedback. I am professional FOREX

Hope to get in touch with you later.
