Price Study and non Price Study in Same EFS

[Gary6612]

Hi

I am a novice EFS programmer - so please forgive me if this is an easy question. But I have developed a strategy which I wish to code up in the same chart, part of which is based upon MA type cross-overs, and combined with a version of MACD. As such I would ideally like to plot in both the setPriceStuday(False) little "price pane" at the bottom of the chart and at the same time plot in the setPriceStudy(true) main chart.

I have tried experimenting with putting both in the premain but it seems to only take the last setPriceStudy setting. I can't search the forum on setPriceStudy as every post with some code comes up!!

Is it possible to do this (fairly easily)

Cheers

The short answer is that an efs can only be either a price or a non-price study [although in the latter case it can color the price bars].
The easiest solution in your case IMHO is to just run two instances of the same study one set as a non-price study to plot the MACD and the other as a price study to plot the MAs. That said there are ways to have studies exchange data between them either through the efsExternal() or setGlobalValue()/getGlobalValue() functions
Search the forums for keywords such as efsexternal or setglobalvalue and you should find a number of threads on the topic as it has been covered before
