Cursor labels and chart related issues

[rangers]

Below I have attached a Woodies group indicator EFS. I am trying to do a few things to it and not sure how to.

1) I am not sure how to hide a few of the cursor window items? I tried commenting out the setcursorlabelname and many other things but no luck. I am trying to hide the 0-5 but one is
setCursorLabelName("34 EMA", 0);

2) When this shows on the ES chart I am not sure how to get the ES emini to show a "." prior to the 2 decimal places. Currently it shows the same as the full S&P contract like 110900

3) When I load an ES chart with a tick interval it shows 0:00-24:00 but when I set the same chart to a 3min time frame it then goes to 9:30-16:00. I can't seem to change this and don't know why this happens.

Thanks for the help.

Hello Rangers,

1) The cursor labels are an all or nothing setup. If you want don't want to display any cursor labels, add setShowCursorLabel(false); to the preMain() function. Returning an array of data to the chart and only having one cursor label isn't possible at this time.

2) Divide your numbers by 100 to move the decimal over 2 places.

3) Tick intervals default to dynamic mode and we don't have control over the start and end times with tick intervals currently.

Thanks. On #3 I was saying I am not sure how to change the time when I set it to 3min as it is set to 930-1600 and I am central. I don't mind the 0-24 on the tick charts.

The time can be set in your time template. Right-click on your chart and select Time Templates --> Edit and create a new template similar to one of the Equity RTH templates.

Thanks for this. So the EFS I am using does have some decimal settings in it at least. I put a piece of it below. I figured this would set the decimal place without have to divide it by 100. Apparently that is not the case. So just add sym/100 if ES in this below?

sym=getSymbol().substring(0,2);
decPts=2;
if(sym=="6E")decPts=4;
if(sym=="ES")decPts=2;
if(sym=="ZB")decPts=0;
if(sym=="YM")decPts=0;
if(sym=="AB")decPts=2;
sHour = 930; eHour=1615;
if(sym=="6E"||sym=="ZB"){ sHour = 820; eHour=1500;}
start=1;
}

Hello rangers,

I would set your decPts variable to the required divisor instead. Then you just need to divide your price by decPts. Example:

var sym=getSymbol().substring(0,2);
var decPts=1;
if(sym=="6E")decPts=10000;
if(sym=="ES")decPts=100;
if(sym=="ZB")decPts=1;
if(sym=="YM")decPts=1;
if(sym=="AB")decPts=100;
sHour = 930; eHour=1615;

if(sym=="6E"||sym=="ZB"){ sHour = 820; eHour=1500;}
    start=1;
}

var vLast = close()/decPts;

return vLast;

Thanks. This makes sense, but so far it isn't working for me. I admit I am probably considered a newbie with EFS code, but I have been using TS Easy Language for quite some time. So please forgive me.

I found I have two sections in the EFS with decimal values. I am showing those below updated to what I believe they should be. Secondly I put the var you gave me up under main as it complained if I didn't.

So currently the ES price displayed on the right is still showing "111200" for example instead of "1112.00". Thanks.

First section:

decPts=1;
if(sym=="ES")decPts=100;
if(sym=="6E")decPts=10000;
if(sym=="AB")decPts=1000;
if(sym=="ZB")decPts=1000;
if(sym=="YM")decPts=1; 

Second Section:

sym=getSymbol().substring(0,2);
decPts=1;
if(sym=="6E")decPts=10000;
if(sym=="ES")decPts=100;
if(sym=="ZB")decPts=1;
if(sym=="YM")decPts=1;
if(sym=="AB")decPts=100;
sHour = 930; eHour=1615;
if(sym=="6E"||sym=="ZB"){ sHour = 820; eHour=1500;}
start=1;
}

Hello rangers,

Our code solution we have here for changing the decimal place only affects the numbers that appear in the cursor label window. We cannot change the decimalization of the y-axis labels currently.
