is it possible for someone to help me get the cumulative sum from start of the trading session/or if easier from specified starting time?
i will be using it for stocks (so I won't be having issues with different trading session starts). For instance, I just need to get the logic correct so I can use it in my testing.
for instance, if I want the cumulative sum of upticks from start of the session:
HTML Code:
inputs: sessionStart(1530), sessionEnd(2200),length(9);
var: cumupTicks(0);
if Time >= sessionStart and Time <= sessionEnd then
cumupTicks += Upticks else cumupTicks = 0;
plot1( ccumupTicks , "Cumulative Upticks", Green );
or is it better to do:
HTML Code:
inputs: sessionStart(1530), sessionEnd(2200),length(9);
var: cumupTicks(0);
if Date <> Date[1] then
cumupTicks += Upticks else cumupTicks= 0;
plot1( ccumupTicks , "Cumulative Upticks", Green );
Or How should it be? I appreciate any help.
Thanks in advance
Can you help answer these questions from other members on NexusFi?
I am answering in relation to Multicharts Power Language:
will NOT work -------------- cumupTicks += Upticks else cumupTicks = 0;
will work -------------------- cumupTicks = Upticks + cumupTicks[1] else cumupTicks = 0;
Now, in regards to your question of date vs session start, they both should work but which one is more efficient is unknown to me.
I have always wondered if there is a way to catch how fast an indicator executes - something similar to Excel VBA where you can actually measure the execution time.
I would be very happy if someone knows how to do this.
Thanks a lot for taking the time to answer, Appreciate ur help. Just 1 more thing, wouldn't ur code cumupTicks = Upticks + cumupTicks[1] only sum the prev's bar tick instead of accumulating the values from count of 0? or have I misunderstood the logic?
