Help with Higher Lows Price sync with Higher Low MACD when candle crosses MA

  The code looks fine. I didn’t see any errors when I tested this version which has standard MACD settings and 50 period average and simply returns a flag value. It all looked just fine along side a MACD and price chart. Are you sure that you are comparing the same MACD settings in the indicator compared to any separate MACD indicator that you are looking at?

  //DEFPARAM calculateonlastbars = 1000 macdl = macdline[12,26,9] macds = exponentialaverage[9](macdl) //start of cycle high If macdl => macds and macdl[1] < macds[1] then macdhighest2 = macdhighest highestprice2 = highestprice incyclehigh = 1 macdhighest = macdl HighestPrice = high endif //End of cycle high If macdl < macds and macdl[1] > macds[1] then incyclehigh = 0 endif //highest macd and price in cycle high if incyclehigh then macdhighest = max(macdhighest, macdl) highestPrice = max(highestprice, high) c1 = open > average[50] c2 = close < average[50] c3 = macdhighest < macdhighest2 c4 = highestprice < highestprice2 endif flag = 0 if c1 and c2 and c3 and c4 then flag = 1 endif return flag

  1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 32 33 34 35 36

  //DEFPARAM calculateonlastbars = 1000 macdl = macdline[12,26,9] macds = exponentialaverage[9](macdl) //start of cycle high If macdl => macds and macdl[1] < macds[1] then macdhighest2 = macdhighest highestprice2 = highestprice incyclehigh = 1 macdhighest = macdl HighestPrice = high endif //End of cycle high If macdl < macds and macdl[1] > macds[1] then incyclehigh = 0 endif //highest macd and price in cycle high if incyclehigh then macdhighest = max(macdhighest, macdl) highestPrice = max(highestprice, high) c1 = open > average[50] c2 = close < average[50] c3 = macdhighest < macdhighest2 c4 = highestprice < highestprice2 endif   flag = 0 if c1 and c2 and c3 and c4 then flag = 1 endif   return flag

  I am looking at E-mini Russell, 200 ticks.
  This is a chart from today, from 20:20  untill 22:00
  I use sma 20 in the chart and I have that programmed as a fixed number, so not as and indicator parameter.
  I have a MACD_Vonasi_LOWS, your MACD and I made the MACD-Vonasi_highs out of that. You see both seperate in the chart. I use MACD[2,20,30]. This is also in the code for the cycle lows and highs.

  I Have included the Cycle Low and the Cycle Hig Indicator.

  SEE THE IMAGE FOR THE FALL OUTS

  The Fall Outs you can see in the image, the white dashed arrows mark them.
  The target 1, target2, target3 and stoploss are indictor parameters, but don’t influence any syntax.
  Let me know if all is clear.

  From some testing it appears to be due to the fact that you are using a tick chart rather than a time chart. It appears that the average is not correctly calculated.

  Hi again,

  It looks like the fall outs are after a cycle low or high where the candle with the PriceHighest2 of the MacdHighest2 or PriceLowest2 of the MacdLowest2 are falling together.
  When you look at the imag I included 2 posts before, you see only 1 line in a cycle in the MACD-Vonasi-Lows or MACD-Vonasi-Highs. That is where the  they fall together.
  After such a cycle the price and/or macd after that cycle don’t use it as a reference anymore.

  Read my answer before your last post.

  I tested it with this code and on tick charts it shows the candle straddling the average when it isn’t. On time based charts everything works fine.

  //DEFPARAM calculateonlastbars = 1000 macdl = macdline[5,20,30] macds = exponentialaverage[30](macdl) //start of cycle high If macdl => macds and macdl[1] < macds[1] then macdhighest2 = macdhighest highestprice2 = highestprice incyclehigh = 1 macdhighest = macdl HighestPrice = high endif //End of cycle high If macdl < macds and macdl[1] > macds[1] then incyclehigh = 0 endif //highest macd and price in cycle high if incyclehigh then macdhighest = max(macdhighest, macdl) highestPrice = max(highestprice, high) c1 = open > average[20] c2 = close < average[20] c3 = macdhighest < macdhighest2 c4 = highestprice < highestprice2 endif flag = 0 if c1 and c2 and c3 and c4 then flag = 2 endif return c1 as "open > ave",c2 as "close < ave",c3 as "lower macd",c4 as "lower price" , flag as "flag"

  1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 32 33 34 35 36

  //DEFPARAM calculateonlastbars = 1000 macdl = macdline[5,20,30] macds = exponentialaverage[30](macdl) //start of cycle high If macdl => macds and macdl[1] < macds[1] then macdhighest2 = macdhighest highestprice2 = highestprice incyclehigh = 1 macdhighest = macdl HighestPrice = high endif //End of cycle high If macdl < macds and macdl[1] > macds[1] then incyclehigh = 0 endif //highest macd and price in cycle high if incyclehigh then macdhighest = max(macdhighest, macdl) highestPrice = max(highestprice, high) c1 = open > average[20] c2 = close < average[20] c3 = macdhighest < macdhighest2 c4 = highestprice < highestprice2 endif   flag = 0 if c1 and c2 and c3 and c4 then flag = 2 endif   return c1 as "open > ave",c2 as "close < ave",c3 as "lower macd",c4 as "lower price"  , flag as "flag"

  I see the same Fall Outs in the 1 minute charts with the same situations when the bars from the PriceHighest with MACDHighest or the PriceLowest with the MACDLowest fall together at the same time.

  You keep posting little tiny snippets of information without actually apparently reading the answers that have already been given to you. Please gather a reasonable amount of useful information together and then post it in one post rather than firing off a million snippets!

  I was writing befor I saw your post coming in and then I send it 2 minutes after you posted it :-).
  But still, also in the 1 minute chart I have the same issue. See the Image attached

  Hi Vonasi,
  I am sorry for the amounts of posts. I will do my best to gather a reasanable amount of info.
  On the other hand, when I am busy to decribe my post and to attach the right images and paste the righ coding, I cannot see that you have posted just a few minutes befor. The platform needs te be reloaded in the browser to see that. When I do that,everything  have written for posting is gone. I read everything you have send immedeately when I see it.
  But again I will do my best.

  My platform is closed now and I’m off to bed as it is 01215 here in Greece. My girlfriend returns to Greece tomorrow so my time for the forums will be more limited. You may need to be more patient for replies from me.

  Ah…that is good news for you. I know it is in the middle of the night for you. I am a night owl as well.
  Thanks for all your time.
  Sorry again for the many posts, I didn’t want to irritate you. I thought all was clear in the image of my 3rd post in the topic. But the indicator seemed harder then I expected. So therefor I sliced it in pieces.
  Sleep well. I go to bed as well. 1:25 here and tomorrow I will be on the road.
  Bye

  A good idea would be to have 2 tabs open showing the same Thread and then you can type away your answer in one tab. but before you send … refresh the other tab to check for more recent postings etc.  This way you will not lose what you have already typed.

  I may try and follow my own advice … especially on fast moving Topics! 🙂
