7.4 and 7.5

[watchdaride]

I had someone make a formula on 7.5 and it opens on his 7.5 . But it wont open on my 7.4 .It keeps saying syntax error and the dialoge box is empty? Is there a conflict on the 2 version or any suggestions on where to start my trouble shooting?

Hello watchdaride,

If you post your formula I will test it on my end. Is the dialog box you refer to the Formula Output Window under the Tools --> EFS menu? What happens if you open the formula in the EFS editor and click the Syntax Checker? Any information appear in the Formula Output Window?

Jason,


thanks for the response .I have attached the efs file.

Hello watchdaride,

I've tested this on 7.4 build 608 and didn't get any errors. What symbol, interval and time template are you using? Can you post a chart image of what is happening on your end?

I did the syntax check and attached the formula output box

Hello watchdaride,

I believe that DLL is part of the DynaOrder program. If you comment out lines 5 and 12 it should work for you. Just put two forward slashes // in front of those lines or delete them.

Jason,

the file opens whenI delete those lines now but the alerts dont come on. I am going to uninstall 7.4 and instal 7.5 beta .thanks for the help I'll get back to you if it doesnt work. The problem must be with my program if it works on other computers

jason,

I got it going finaly but for some reason it works on all stocks and futures but it wont work on forex . Could you try it on like eur a0-fx or gbp a0-fx and see if you have any suggestions. This stuff is giving me a headache.

Hello watchdaride,

I noticed that the value you use to adjust the space between the bars your arrows are set to a fixed value of 0.1. On the EUR A0-FX, 0.1 is a significant percentage of the symbols price of apx 1.17. Your formula is working. You just can't see the arrows because they are being drawn too far above or below your bars.

What I do to set spacing for images is something like the following. This solves the scaling problem you've encountered when switching between intervals and symbols. I also made this modification to your formula (see attached).

var nSpacer = null;

function main(){

    if (nSpacer == null) nSpacer = (high()-low()) * .2;;
    drawShapeRelative(0, high()+nSpacer, Shape.DOWNARROW, "", Color.red, Shape.TOP, counter);
    
}
