Cross over arrows in Tradestation?

October 30th, 2018, 03:32 PM

HI,

I'm new to TradeStation, using version 10. I am trying to find a way to have a simple up arrow or down arrow painted on my chart when the MACD crosses. This capability was built into the indicator on TOS, but not so in TradeStation.

I have tried using the MACD strategy which shows an arrow on the buy/sell entry bar for the strategy. The problem with that is the arrow paints 1-3 bars after the crossover happened depending on what your timeframe is (e.g. tick charts, renko charts, time-based charts). I would like to see the arrow on the bar when the cross over occurred.

I have looked for Easy Language code to do this without success thus far. Any ideas? Seems like this should be "easy"...

ralett,

you can draw arrows using Object Oriented EasyLanguage. The code in the link below should get you going:
