The next ProRealTime version 10.3 and new graphical functionnalities

  Hello,

  I have currently access to the new 10.3 Beta version of ProRealTime and the new possibilities are enormous.

  Along the purely “trading” ones (for which i’ll come back later), the new graphical instructions give us, at least, the possibility to draw many things on charts! FYI i had the new graphical instructions in the documentation here : http://www.prorealcode.com/documentation/category/graphical/ where i have already post some little examples.

  In this topic i’ll add some new examples of what it’s already possible to achieve in the next generation of ProRealTime!

  From arrows signals to complete new dashboard, anyone could make its own “new trading platform”! 🙂 with prorealtime 10.3

  I’m gonna add things frequently into this thread, you can subscribe or check it often.

  Please be aware that everything posted here are only 10.3 version compatible (code), thanks!

  Here we go, something a lot of people are awaiting for : draw some arrows to show signals of trading conditions.

  At least, a simple stochastic crossing can be drawn visually into our charts :

  

   

  sto = Stochastic[10,3](close) signal = average[5](sto) rge = averagetruerange[10](close) if sto[1]>80 and sto crosses under signal then DRAWARROWDOWN(barindex[1],high[1]+rge/2)coloured(255,10,10) elsif sto[1]<20 and sto crosses over signal then DRAWARROWUP(barindex[1],low[1]-rge/2)coloured(10,255,10) endif RETURN

  1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11

  sto = Stochastic[10,3](close) signal = average[5](sto) rge = averagetruerange[10](close)   if sto[1]>80 and sto crosses under signal then   DRAWARROWDOWN(barindex[1],high[1]+rge/2)coloured(255,10,10) elsif sto[1]<20 and sto crosses over signal then   DRAWARROWUP(barindex[1],low[1]-rge/2)coloured(10,255,10) endif   RETURN

  Changing the background color is also now possible.

  Here i am simply “coloring” the background chart with red and green colours that reflect the spread between 2 moving averages :

  

   

  mm1 = average[10](close) mm2 = exponentialaverage[30](close) if mm1>mm2 then backgroundcolor(10,255,10,50) else backgroundcolor(255,10,10,50) endif RETURN

  1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10

  mm1 = average[10](close) mm2 = exponentialaverage[30](close)   if mm1>mm2 then   backgroundcolor(10,255,10,50) else   backgroundcolor(255,10,10,50) endif   RETURN

  It’s easy to make gradient colour to show greater or less value. Here is an example to show the spread between 2 moving average with a dynamic scaling :

  

   

  mm1 = average[10](close) mm2 = exponentialaverage[30](close) maxi = 200/50 color = ABS(mm1-mm2)*maxi if mm1>mm2 then backgroundcolor(0,color,0) else backgroundcolor(color,0,0) endif RETURN

  1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13

  mm1 = average[10](close) mm2 = exponentialaverage[30](close)   maxi = 200/50 color = ABS(mm1-mm2)*maxi   if mm1>mm2 then   backgroundcolor(0,color,0) else   backgroundcolor(color,0,0) endif   RETURN

  In this example, 50 points of spread is the maximum value of the color, set to 200.

  We can now draw customized candlestick and barchart! Imagine that you can set any Open/High/Low/Close values to build your own personalized candles, on chart or in separated windows, like an oscillator.

  Drawing Heiken Ashi, smoothed version with values of 4 moving average (MA of 20 period set on Open, High, Low and Close) :

  

  The code example is here in the documentation : http://www.prorealcode.com/documentation/drawcandle/

  I have set the bordercolor differently from the candle color itself, because you can now also customize the colour of the border of candles.

  Another example of using customize candlestick is to make oscillator, here is the 10.3 version of the “value chart” :

  

  and a nice value chart with alert arrows :

  Another nice feature for coders, it is now the possibility of coding different things in the same time does not affect the interface development, as you can add as many coding windows as you like :

  I have seen something similar elsewhere recently so i decided to make my own version of this channel sketcher for the new ProRealTime with the new “DRAWSEGMENT” function.

  This is a regression channel sketcher that draw segment other highs and lows over a ‘p’ period. The alpha gradient is calculated with the difference between the top and bottom channel to made it easier to “read”.

  

   

  p=20 z1 = linearregression[p](high) z2 = linearregression[p](low) y1 = 1.5*std[p](high)+z1 y2 = 1.5*-std[p](low)+z2 if(y1>y1[p]) then Rh = 0 Gh = 255 else Rh = 255 Gh = 0 endif if(y2>y2[p]) then Rl = 0 Gl = 255 else Rl = 255 Gl = 0 endif a = (255*(y1-y2))/(300*pipsize) if a>255 then a = 255 endif DRAWSEGMENT(barindex-p*1.5,y1[p],barindex+10,y1)coloured(Rh,Gh,0,a) DRAWSEGMENT(barindex-p*1.5,y2[p],barindex+10,y2)coloured(Rl,Gl,0,a) RETURN

  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

  p=20   z1 = linearregression[p](high) z2 = linearregression[p](low)   y1 = 1.5*std[p](high)+z1 y2 = 1.5*-std[p](low)+z2   if(y1>y1[p]) then   Rh = 0   Gh = 255 else   Rh = 255   Gh = 0 endif   if(y2>y2[p]) then   Rl = 0   Gl = 255 else   Rl = 255   Gl = 0 endif   a = (255*(y1-y2))/(300*pipsize) if a>255 then   a = 255 endif   DRAWSEGMENT(barindex-p*1.5,y1[p],barindex+10,y1)coloured(Rh,Gh,0,a) DRAWSEGMENT(barindex-p*1.5,y2[p],barindex+10,y2)coloured(Rl,Gl,0,a)   RETURN

  Drawing text on chart is now possible. You can even use ASCII character for drawing symbol-like on chart with the instruction http://www.prorealcode.com/documentation/drawtext/

  DRAWTEXT("│", barindex, y2[1], Dialog, Bold, 12) COLOURED(10,255,10,255)

  1	DRAWTEXT("│", barindex, y2[1], Dialog, Bold, 12) COLOURED(10,255,10,255)

  In order to use ASCII character you just have to use the ALT keyboard button + the ASCII number of the character you’d like to use, “179” in my case :

  Draw overlay candlesticks over price chart for signals spotting:

  

  p = 50 hh = highest[p](high)[1] ll = lowest[p](low)[1] mmf = exponentialaverage[10](close) mms = exponentialaverage[30](close) once flag = 0 if mmf>mms AND flag = -1 then upper = hh[1] flag = 1 endif if mmf<mms AND flag = 1 then lower = ll[1] flag = -1 endif if mmf crosses under mms then flag = -1 endif if mmf crosses over mms then flag = 1 endif if lower>upper then lower=upper endif if flag = 1 AND Close>upper then DRAWCANDLE(Open,High,Low,Close)COLOURED(0,255,0) elsif flag = -1 AND Close<lower then DRAWCANDLE(Open,High,Low,Close)COLOURED(255,0,0) endif RETURN upper coloured(110,137,37,255) STYLE(line,2) as "upper line", lower coloured(111,30,85,255) STYLE(line,2) as "lower line"

  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 37 38 39

  p = 50   hh = highest[p](high)[1] ll = lowest[p](low)[1]   mmf = exponentialaverage[10](close) mms = exponentialaverage[30](close)   once flag = 0   if mmf>mms AND flag = -1 then upper = hh[1] flag = 1 endif   if mmf<mms AND flag = 1 then lower = ll[1] flag = -1 endif   if mmf crosses under mms then flag = -1 endif   if mmf crosses over mms then flag = 1 endif   if lower>upper then lower=upper endif   if flag = 1 AND Close>upper then DRAWCANDLE(Open,High,Low,Close)COLOURED(0,255,0) elsif flag = -1 AND Close<lower then DRAWCANDLE(Open,High,Low,Close)COLOURED(255,0,0) endif   RETURN upper coloured(110,137,37,255) STYLE(line,2) as "upper line", lower coloured(111,30,85,255) STYLE(line,2) as "lower line"

  Draw text on chart and horizontal line with extension with the new instructions : DRAWTEXT and DRAWLINE

  Here is an intraday Fibonacci pivot points indicator made of these 2 new probuilder instructions :

  

  defparam drawonlastbaronly = true //yesterday's value dh = DHigh(1) dl = DLow(1) //fibonacci pivot points P = (dh + dl + DClose(1))/3 S1 = P - .382 * (dh-dl) S2 = P - .618 * (dh-dl) S3 = P - 1 * (dh-dl) R1 = P + .382 * (dh-dl) RR2 = P + .618 * (dh-dl) R3 = P + 1 * (dh-dl) //vertical offset to draw text correctly over horizontal lines Voffset = 5*pipsize //draw pivot points text DRAWTEXT("Pivot",barindex-2,p+Voffset,SansSerif,Bold,16)coloured(153,153,0) DRAWTEXT("R1",barindex-2,R1+Voffset,SansSerif,Bold,16)coloured(0,153,0) DRAWTEXT("R2",barindex-2,RR2+Voffset,SansSerif,Bold,16)coloured(0,153,0) DRAWTEXT("R3",barindex-2,R3+Voffset,SansSerif,Bold,16)coloured(0,153,0) DRAWTEXT("S1",barindex-2,S1+Voffset,SansSerif,Bold,16)coloured(153,0,0) DRAWTEXT("S2",barindex-2,S2+Voffset,SansSerif,Bold,16)coloured(153,0,0) DRAWTEXT("S3",barindex-2,S3+Voffset,SansSerif,Bold,16)coloured(153,0,0) //draw pivot points lines with extension DRAWLINE(barindex-1,p,barindex,p) coloured(153,153,0) DRAWLINE(barindex-1,R1,barindex,R1) coloured(0,153,0) DRAWLINE(barindex-1,RR2,barindex,RR2) coloured(0,153,0) DRAWLINE(barindex-1,R3,barindex,R3) coloured(0,153,0) DRAWLINE(barindex-1,S1,barindex,S1) coloured(153,0,0) DRAWLINE(barindex-1,S2,barindex,S2) coloured(153,0,0) DRAWLINE(barindex-1,S3,barindex,S3) coloured(153,0,0) RETURN

  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 37

  thanks for the welcome, wow  DRAWLINE is going to be so useful. will ProScreener be able to see all these new functions?

  Since these functions are only dealing with x and y coordinates from “barindex” and “price”, ProScreener would be able to find the same thing. Or I misunderstand your question?

  yer a little bit

  looking at the code, the indicator is not returning any values (the Drawline is not creating an object on the screen but just a printed line?) so when called in ProScreener there is nothing to be passed in and worked with.

  all the same still pretty cool 🙂
