It's an Eld...must be for tradestation so I would presume.
Seems you using ninja....in that case...it won't work unless you have tradestation. By default most tradestation indicators will be configurable for alerts.
Thanks you guys, but I don't use Ninjatrader, I use Tradestation's platform. That's why I posted this in the "TradeStation > EasyLanguage Programming" forum.
I found this indicator (ShowMe) & am running into the same problem as the OP. I am trying to build a scanner in TradeStation to find the instances of the divergence & can't seem to get the scanner to pick the instances when the divergence occurs. I can get a scanner to pick up instances of a custom show me that I built to show an ATRbreakout, so I know it is possible. But the PlotDivergence indicator seems to be missing an alert portion. I am going to attach the relevant screenshots to try & better explain what I think my problem is. Not sure if anyone can help me with this? I know this is an old thread, but I thought someone might see it. I tried to manually add the alert message by copying the Easylanguage from the custom one that I built to modify the PlotDivergence one, but evidently I don't know what I am doing. Guess I can't attach images since I don't have enough post, but maybe you can understand what I am trying to convey with the images. Here is the Easy Language from the custom showme that contains the Alert portion that is missing from the PlotDivergence indicator.
{ Search Tag: WA-Custom ShowMe }
inputs:
Criteria( High < High[1] and Low > Low[1] ) [
DisplayName = "Criteria",
ToolTip = "Enter the criteria to be evaluated on each bar. The expression must evaluate to true or false."],
PlotPrice( Close ) [
DisplayName = "PlotPrice",
ToolTip = "Enter the price at which the ShowMe marker is to be plotted."],
AlertMessage( "" ) [
DisplayName = "AlertMessage",
ToolTip = "Enter the text to be displayed when the expression in the Criteria input evaluates to true."];
if Criteria then
begin
Plot1( PlotPrice, !( "CustomSM" ) );
Alert( AlertMessage );
end
else
begin
NoPlot( 1 ); { remove the marker if Criteria is no longer true, intrabar }
end;
Hi,
I wanted to ask you if you can attach the formula of the indicator: Plodivergence in text format, because I have Tradestation 8 and cannot import the .eld files made with tradestation 10.
To attach as many images as you want, without limits, you can use this site:
I tried several replies using the link you suggested. And it must be blocked. I tried attaching the text file to the first reply & inserting the text file in the 2nd reply. I am going to try & insert the text into this reply. Thanks for any help that you can give with the alert!!
Inputs:
PriceHigh(High), { This should be price (high or close)}
PriceLow(Low), { This should be price (low or close)}
Indicator(RSI(Close,5)),{ This is the indicator you want to find divergence in}

Length(30), { How many bars back to look for highs and lows}
HistoryBars(3), { Number of highs and lows to look at for divergence (max is 9)}
LineColor(Red), { Color of lines drawn}
LineSize(1), { Size of lines (0=smallest, 7=largest)}
LineOffset(0), { How much (in price) above or below bars to draw lines}
Debug(False); { Plots debug dots}

is for inserting images, not text, but I have tried now and I cannot insert the images, but I tried inserting an image (with: postimages.org) into another Site, and it worked regularly;
perhaps Future.io does not allow it anymore.
