Ehlers Even Better Sinewave syntax

  Hello very brainy and esteemed colleagues,

  I would like to incorporate the Ehlers Even Better Sinewave in my strategy and I’ve got as far as

  indicator4 = CALL “Ehlers Even Better Sinewave”[50,.8, -.8]

  but what I ultimately need is something like:

  c13 = (SineWave > -8)
  c14 = (SineWave < .8)

  So I assume I need something linking SineWave to indicator4 … but how do I do that?

  Is that what you want?

  c13 = (indicator4 > -8) c14 = (indicator4 < .8)

  1 2	c13 = (indicator4 > -8) c14 = (indicator4 < .8)

  That was the first thing I tried but I get an error saying “Ehlers Even Better Sinewave returns 4 values but your code needs 1”.

  As far as I can see, the 4 values associated with that indicator seem to be SineWave, Level Up, Level Down and Mid Level, so I assume that SineWave is the one that I want, no?

  Probably…! But you should refer to the returned values of the Sinewave indicator, you get the called variables in the same order than in the RETURN instruction of the indicator.

  You could also have a look in the documentation: CALL to get a better understanding on how to use CALL.

  Thanks @Nicolas for pointing me in the right direction! (like, duh, try reading  the manual)

  For anyone else who may be interested, it works like this:

  Sinewave, ignored, ignored, ignored = CALL "Ehlers Even Better Sinewave"[50,.8, -.8] c13 = (Sinewave > -8) c14 = (Sinewave < .8)

  1 2 3

  Sinewave, ignored, ignored, ignored = CALL "Ehlers Even Better Sinewave"[50,.8, -.8] c13 = (Sinewave > -8) c14 = (Sinewave < .8)

  So now we know.
