Welcome to Markplex tutorial 37 in this collection of tutorials designed to help you develop your TradeStation EasyLanguage programming skills. EasyLanguage is a scripting language that was developed for the TradeStation trading platform that can be used to write programs to help in the trading of foreign exchange (forex), commodities (e.g. the e-mini), options and stocks. Please join our email mailing list if you have not already done so and we will let you know when we release new tutorials or programs.
In tutorial 26 we provided a detailed explanation of a new indicator that looked for divergence between a price plot and the stochastic indicator. ‘Bearish divergence’ was said to have occurred if price made a lower pivot and then made a higher or equal pivot, while the associated stochastic plot made a higher pivot and then made a lower pivot. Similarly ‘bullish divergence’ was said to have occurred if price made a higher pivot and then made a n equal or lower pivot, while the associated stochastic plot made a lower pivot and then made a higher pivot.
The program recognized that a price pivot and its associated stochastic divergence did not necessarily occur on the exact same bar. Consequently the program introduced the concept of Bartol (a user input) , such that if the price pivot and the stochastic pivot were within Bartol bars of each other, they were deemed to be associated with each other.
If you haven’t watched the tutorial 26 videos, then it might be a good idea before watching the video associated with this tutorial.
This tutorial takes the basic program as created in tutorial 26 and modifies it so that it works as a show-me study. We also add the option to show or not show the divergence lines and use some functionality to make sure that the show-me dots are always plotted a fixed percentage of the screen away from price.
