Directional Movement Indicators

[boycee]

On Realtick I can set up the +DMI and -DMI as a histogram, which is green for +DMI and red for -DMI. Also the histogram shows the change from red to green and vice versa on each individual bar. Can I do this with eSignal and if so how?

dloomis,

Thanks, that is very similar but not exactly what I am after. I have been trying to save a Realtick chart and post it here for you to see, but I just can't seem to get it to work. Does anyone know the full procedure for saving a Realtick chart, what format file type and how do I get it onto this board?

Failing that dloomis I could email an Excel file to you that shows exactly what I mean.

regards,
boycee

- Make sure you have eSignal open and running then in Realtick open the
chart for which you want to capture an image.
- Once that is done look at the System Tray and you will see an icon for
eSignal Snapshot (looks like a camera).
- Click it and a window will open on your screen. In this window you have a
crosshair symbol which you click, drag and release over the Realtick chart.
- At this point another larger window will open which will give you the
choice of saving the image to FileShare (if you have a group you are
subscribed to you can post it there) or on your Local drive.

If you save it to Local drive then just go back to this thread in Bulletin
Board and post your reply and attach that image.
If instead you post to FileShare create a link to that image and paste it in
your reply to this thread on the Bulletin Board

If you need more (or more detailed) info/instructions just let me know

So I take it this indicator is not available for eSignal then. Can you put in a request for an indicator to be made available?

dloomis - I have downloaded the efs for the indicator you mentioned. How do you get it to work on a chart please?

save the efs file into the esignal/downloads directory, then right click on
the adv chart, select Formulas, Downloads and you should see it there. Just
click on it.

dloomis,

Thanks again. I have modified the efs file and have managed to get the image below. It is very close to what I want but when I compare it to the Realtick chart it is slightly different. I don't know why? Any Ideas? Also how do you make the lines thicker on the histogram?

var study = new ADXDMStudy(4, 4);

function preMain() {
setPlotType(PLOTTYPE_HISTOGRAM,0);
setDefaultBarFgColor(Color.blue, 0); // PDI
setDefaultBarFgColor(Color.red, 1); // NDI
setPlotType(PLOTTYPE_HISTOGRAM,1);

}

function main() {
//var vADX = study.getValue(ADXDMStudy.ADX);
var vPDI = study.getValue(ADXDMStudy.PDI);
var vNDI = study.getValue(ADXDMStudy.NDI);

return new Array( vPDI, vNDI);
