changing spread value

June 9th, 2016, 04:18 PM

does anyone know how to edit spread values in mc?

I want to be able to change tick value -ie 100*gc-5000*si to get true value spread.

I tried to edit the spread indicator but couldn't figure it out without errors---

danka,

I am not sure if I understand what you are trying to do exactly, can you give an example maybe with a chart and the particular code you were trying to change? I am quite certain there will be ways to accomplish what you have in mind.

i'll attach some pics....

i want tick value to be equal and to be able to change it...so since gold is 100 a point and gold is 5000 a point i multiply 100*gc and 5000*si to get it even....
so i want to be able to change it so if i spread oil and gold....whichever I can change the value of point size in indicator
here's the script of spread indicator:

using System;
using System.Drawing;

namespace PowerLanguage.Indicator
{
public class Spread__Diff : IndicatorObject
{
private IPlotObject Plot1;

public Spread__Diff(object ctx) :
base(ctx) {}

private ISeries<double> dataseries1 { get; set; }

private ISeries<double> dataseries2 { get; set; }

protected override void Create(){
Plot1 =
AddPlot(new PlotAttributes("SprdDiff", 0, Color.Blue,
Color.Empty, 0, 0, true));
}

protected override void StartCalc(){
dataseries1 = Bars.Close;
dataseries2 = BarsOfData(2).Close;
}

protected override void CalcBar(){
Plot1.Set(0, (dataseries1[0] - dataseries2[0]));
}
}
}

thanks!

lsubeano,

it sounds like you just need to multiply the prices that build the spread with their respective point values. Modifying the line of the original code that sets the plot value with the line below would do that:

Code

            Plot1.Set(0, ((dataseries1[0] * Bars.Info.BigPointValue) - (dataseries2[0] * BarsOfData(2).Info.BigPointValue)));
