Community.Indicators updated to version 2009.03:

Added: Adaptive Laguerre filter
Fixed: Rolled back the 2009.02 Description change for indicators that use a Bars object parameter. The change was not necessary and adversely affected the utility of the Analysis Series visualizer.

I have downloaded and really like your new Community Indicators, especially the option to put in your own parameters for MACD.
However, would it be possible to add another option to parameters and give one the choice of using EMA or SMA for MACD?
I am trying to incorporate Linda Bradford Rasche's MACD settings, but I am not a programmer and your new MACD with user EMA settings gets me a little closer.
Appreciate your consideration of incorporating SMA as an option for the MACD.

Eugene

#8
Thanks. Sorry, adding another option to such a popular indicator like MACD_Ex would not be a good move because it will break backward compatibility and force other people who are already using it to make fixes to their Strategy code.

What's more, adding another MACD_Ex indicator will make the Indicator list look confusing. Considering that your request for SMA in MACD is the only one, maybe we will better call it "Linda Raschke's 3/10 Oscillator" or something like that? In this case, I see no problem including what you want in the upcoming build of Community.Indicators.

Yes, my primary interest is in the "3/10" with HIstogram, Your inclusion of the Raschke 3/10 Oscillator with HIstogram as a separate indicator in future builds would be welcomed. Thanks.

2009.07 is here

The most notable news is the addition of the missing Hilbert Transform filters (the complete set of Ehlers filters ported from WL4 - thanks to fundtimer): HTDCPhase, HTInPhase, HTLeadSin, HTPeriod, HTQuadrature, HTSin, HTTrendLine

Also, added TrendScore by Tushar Chande; Coppock curve; Widner Projection Bands and its companion indicators.

Release 2009.08 highlights:

* Added: Shifted Moving Average
* Added: The ShiftDelay indicator
* Added: DV2 by D.Varadi (coded by Robert Sucher)

The Shifted MA and ShiftDelay indicators were developed by request (here).

The purpose of ShiftDelay is to easily create a delayed version of any indicator or data series already plotted on the chart. The ShiftedMA is targeted for rule-based Strategy users who need to utilize a typical moving average delayed by the user specified offset.

It would be very helpful if the MACDEx_Signal3 data from a chart can be exported using "Copy Price Data to Clipboard", like other standard indicators. Thanks.

It is already possible. Add the indicator, right click, select that option and the indicator data is copied to clipboard along with OHLCV.

My program told me extension was installed successfully but I do not see it in Extension Manager. Hence the same error continues? I restarted Wealth-Lab, etc.

It is there, you just need to switch from Fidelity supported to Other extensions. Of course I assume you have included "using Community.Indicators" on top, did you?

MACDEx users! This indicator from Community Indicators has a breaking change in the current version 2010.09. MACDEx and its derivative indicators used in rule-based or code-based strategies alike before 6.0, will result in a compiler error.

Solution: for code-based strategies - remove an extraneous Bars parameter (check out the online help pages in the Wiki); for Rule Wizard - simply highlight an affected condition (that uses MACDEx or one of its derivatives) and re-select MACDEx (Histogram, etc.) from the Indicators list > Community Indicators.

A bunch of breaking changes to a few indicators in 2010.10:

* Added: McClellan Oscillator
* Added: choice of SMMA (smoothed MA) to ShiftedMA
* Added: SeriesIsAboveValue, SeriesIsBelowValue
* Change: breaking change to DVCFE - added configurable PercentRank period
* Change: breaking change to Negative Closes - replaced Bars parameter with DataSeries
* Change: breaking change to Positive Closes - replaced Bars parameter with DataSeries
* Change: breaking change to Percentage Price Oscillator (PPO) - replaced Bars parameter with DataSeries; changed FirstValidValue to 3 times the largest lookback period (to stabilize)
* Fixed: hardcoded DVCFE periods
* Fixed: important fix to Bill Williams' Alligator Jaw, Teeth and Lips. Now they will use the correct moving average: Smoothed MA (SMMA) instead of Simple MA (SMA), confirmed by "Trading Chaos" book. Thanks beckerben.

No breaking changes this time. Just wanted to thank Andrew (avishn) for his contribution to the library.

P.S. Unfortunately, a brand spanking new trend indicator by David Varadi, MSR, didn't make it to the release. Nevertheless, here's it coded in Wealth-Lab.NET for those early adopters:

#36
No highlights in Community Indicators version 2011.04.

* Added: SMA2 (Simple moving average). Uses a different algorithm. Courtesy chamoun.

According to its author, this implementation is not as effective computationally as the Wealth-Lab version but is designed to better handle some special scenario:
QUOTE:
"...if an algorithm is using categorical variables relying on if X >,=,< Y type decisions than the differences become very problematic when your data series has zeros interspersed among large non zero #s. (...) The issue is not restricted to MoneyFlow but any series derived from the product of any two double numbers divided by a third number."

Eugene:
It seems that the latest incarnation of the Adaptive Lookback is labeled "fast swing version". Is this because there is an older version that captures longer periods? The calculation for this "fast swing" version is turning out too short periods for me (at least half of what I would calculate manually).
profile picture

Eugene

#40
The newly added 'fastSwing' version does not replace the old version. The calculation (which wasn't documented) is simply: take 2 bars before the swing bar and always 1 after (the default formula takes 2 bars on both sides).

The change was not breaking and does not affect existing code in any way. You can only use it by explicitly calling that overloaded call in your Strategy.
