calling dll from efs

[egarone]

Hi all,

I am very new to efs, so i decided to ask for some help.

I have tradestation code:

DefineDLLFunc: "PUSHPOP.DLL", VOID, "PUSH", LONG, LONG, LONG, DOUBLE;
DefineDLLFunc: "PUSHPOP.DLL", VOID, "PUSHCLEAN", LONG;
variables:hh(0),ll(0);
if time=sess1endtime then begin
hh=highest(h,16)/100;
ll=lowest(l,16)/100;
PUSH(1,date,0,hh);
PUSH(2,date,0,ll);
end;
plot1(hh);
plot2(ll);

All it does is pushes daily high and low from minute chart to memory stack, later to be popped from another tradestation
chart(kind of global variable).Pushing is done at the last tick of
the session.

Is there a kind soll out there that can code this in efs.

Thanks in advance.

egarone,
Do you have a text version of pushpop.dll?

ANYONE?

Here is code from the fileshare area which can be called from any efs to obtain the high and low of the day.

http://share.esignal.com/download.js...TodayOHLC1.efs

/** This formula was created to allow for back to back callFuntion() calls from an
external formula.

i.e.
HH = callFunction("/OHLC/getTodayOHLC1.efs","main","High");
LL = callFunction("/OHLC/getTodayOHLC1.efs","main","Low");
**/

Please download the attached getTodayOHLC1.efs and save it in the OHLC subfolder of the Formulas folder.

use these two steps in your efs and ensure the referenced efs is in the Formulas\OHLC\ folder. If required, create the subfolder.

here is an example efs which calls this efs

here is a link that discusses how to use

btw - no need to shout

Hope this helps.

Hi Trader

Thanks for Your reply.

todayshighlow.efs plots correctly in normal intraday charts.

todayshighlow.efs doesn't plot properly in chart ES #F night session only(from 16:30 to 9:30 ET), and I couldn't anderstand why?

Thanks

Ed

Are you using different time templates for the afternoon session?

[egarone]

Hi Steve
Yes. from 16:30 to 9:30 ET

Ed

Ed,

I believe the afternoon time template is the reason, it is getting it's information from that time template, which is not going to be reflective of the normal session.

It's not considering my chart sessions to break the the high low

lines, it's getting sessions from some place else.

Steve

if it's getting info from time template, then it would of worked.

Ed

ok

FWIW todayshighlow.efs retrieves the values for High and Low from the daily bar irrespective of Time Template. This means that if you are using ES #F it includes all trading from 15:30 to 15:15 CST. If instead you are using ES #F=2 then it will use only the data from 8:30 to 15:15 CST.

Thanks Alex!
