I'm guessing this can be done, just don't know how to do it on my own, using cut and paste to help learn programing.

I want to grab an ATR value from another time period (daily period) and use it as the base for calculating fixed stop and trailing stops in another period (3 Min.).

CODE:

Besides learning how I can do this are there any down sides as far as processing time in a realtime (streaming) scan of a dataset with several symbols?

All help, advice, pro's and con's welcomed.

OK,, I think I get it,, I'll be back if I can't make it work.

Thanks Eugene!!

OK, back with a question,

CODE:
Please log in to see this code.

I have set the daily time scale and created dailyLRS, this seemed to run ok in my script.

CODE:
Please log in to see this code.

Now I want to create a smothed average of it as part of a criteria and I get the following message, "SMA is a type but is used as a variable"

Tried creating the smoothed average at the same point I created the daily data series but failed to get smoothed average to work there.

What am I doing wrong?

Here's a clue for you - compare a working line:

What does it miss?

Thanks Eugene,

here's what i ended up with,

Seems to be giving me the results I expect, if you see anything that looks incorrect please let me know.

After thinking about this, I am wondering if I am missing an int statement to gather enough bars to make my 60 minute indicators. I am working in a 10 minute time scale.

I'll be back with more questions I'm sure as I continue to flesh out this strategy.

Thanks again for pointing me in the right direction!

Where do I find a list of the available colors, fillcolor and paintcolor syntax? Looked in the quick ref and wealthscript ref but came up empty. I noticed in rule builder a transparency factor is available as well.

For sure, because QuickRef is no MSDN copycat. WealthScript in V5 speaks C#, therefore just Google for "System.Color", "Color.FromArgb" etc etc.

OK,, Back again,

Got 12 hours in today hammering away at this strategy, learned a lot but having trouble with this last tweak,,, well maybe not the last tweak:-)
Everything worked OK until I tried to add in a daily criteria to a script, I am running at 3 minute bars. A 30 minute compressed data intraday data access and condition statement worked great, then I added a daily/intraday data and condition statement and now have no entries when I should be seeing entries.

Below are the relivant snipets setting up the daily and compressed scales and data series:

CODE:

And here is the conditional statements:

CODE:

I'm guessing that I need to harvest the bars to create the Daily scale, just don't can't figure out how to do it.

Remember, I'm not a coder but the fog is begining to lift.

Oh yeah,, one more thing,, sorry I asked about the colors,,sheesh talk about drinking from a firehose;-)

As always your help is greatly appreciated!!!

Upon noticing the multiple calls to SetScale*, let me warn you:

QUOTE:
Warning!

Due to a bug that results in inconsistent synchronization, until Version 5.4 is released, use SetScale/Synchronize for only one other timeframe in a script.

Roger that,, standing by for 5.4!!!

Thanks Eugene!!
