Non Standart Formulas ???

[erilein]

I got a big problem coding in the efs editor because i cant write the code so well yet... so i use the formula wizzard but there i have the problem that i cant use non standart formulas ... so here is my question :

Is there a way to make non standart formulas ready for the formula wizzard ... ?
when not can anybody code me a snippet that colors the background green and red when the 2 lines are crossing ???

here is the code for the formula i mean

if(nSmoothings == null)
nSmoothings = 3;

var percentK;
var ll = 0, hh = 0;
var sum = 0;
var vHigh = getValue("High", 0, -nLength);
var vLow = getValue("Low", 0, -nLength);
var temp = 0;

if(vHigh == null || vLow == null)
return;


for(j = 0; j < nLength; j++) {
if(j == 0) {
ll = vLow[j];
hh = vHigh[j];
} else {
hh = Math.max(hh, vHigh[j]);
ll = Math.min(ll, vLow[j]);
}
}
percentK = ((close() - ll) / (hh - ll)) * 100;
if (isNaN(percentK) == false) MAVt = MAVt_1 + (percentK - MAVt_1) / nSmoothing;
if (getBarState() == BARSTATE_NEWBAR) MAVt_1 = MAVt;
if (isNaN(percentK) == false) MAVt1 = MAVt1_1 + (MAVt - MAVt1_1) / nSmoothings;
if (getBarState() == BARSTATE_NEWBAR) MAVt1_1 = MAVt1;

return new Array(MAVt,MAVt1);
}

thank you and regards .... eric

The formula you posted is the DiNapoli Prferred Stochastic. Do a Search on the Bulletin Board using those words as keywords as there have been many variations of that formula posted recently.

no i dont want to search this formula ... i have got it i want to "import" it in the formula wizzard ... because there i cant find it anywhere ...

You cannot do that. The Formula Wizard can only use the built-ins, so you would need to modify the script using the Editor.
Again there are various versions available that already do what you are trying to achieve (or something very similar)
