Program 58 | P&F, Line break, Markplex Renko and block analysis

Markplex P&F, line break, Markplex Renko and block analysis functions and demonstration show-me study

Program 58 consists of a demonstration TradeStation EasyLanguage show-me study together with the following four easy to use functions:

  1. Markplex point and figure function (_PandF( BoxSize, Reverse, HiLo ); )  (based on the technology behind program 49),
  2. A line break function (_3LB( NumberOfLinesBreak );) (based on program 3),
  3. Markplex renko function (_MarkplexRenko( FixedBox, VariableRenkoBoxSize, FixedRenkBoxSize, HiLoMethod );) (based on program 52)
  4. Markplex block analysis function (_MarkplexBlock( BlockTuner );) (based on program 34)

The function inputs are explained below.

Each of these functions analyzes bar data to attempt to ascertain market direction. They return ‘1’ for an upward direction and -1 for downward direction.

Program 58 was designed for TradeStation 9.1 (and higher) and MultiCharts. It works on intraday, daily, weekly and monthly charts.

An unprotected version of program 58 is available for immediate download for $89.95.

The download includes a TradeStation ELD file (containing the show-me study and functions), a MultiCharts PLA file (containing an indicator and functions) and a BONUS video that demonstrates some ways of using the functions in a strategy.

The first _P&F and _3LB functions were available in program 51. Program 58 includes the program 51 function plus new functions built around the Markplex Renko  (see program 52 for more details) and Markplex block functionality (see program 34 for more details). Please note that these functions do not include box drawing capabilities.

The following is a listing of the demonstration show me study, included with this download. This gives an example of how the functions could be used.

Usage notes for each function

_PandF

To call this function, use the following syntax: Value1 = _PandF( BoxSize, Reverse, HiLo );
where BoxSize is the size of the box or cross, Reverse is the number of boxes or crosses required to reverse. HiLo should be set to TRUE if you wish to use the
HiLo method or FALSE to use the close method
For example Value1 = _PandF( 0.05, 3, TRUE );

_3LB

To call this function use the following syntax: Value1 = _3LB( NumberOfLinesBreak );
Where NumberOfLinesBreak is the number of lines break required. e.g. Value1 = _3LB( 3 );

_MarkplexRenko

To call this function, use the following syntax: Value1 = _MarkplexRenko( FixedBox, VariableRenkoBoxSize, FixedRenkBoxSize, HiLoMethod );
where FixedBox determines whether to use a fixes or variable box side (true = fixed, false=variable)
VariableRenkoBoxSize is used to enter a formula defining the variable box size (e.g. AvgTrueRange( 14 ) )
FixedRenkBoxSize is the fixed box size used if FixedBox is set to true
HiLoMethod should be set to TRUE if you wish to use the HiLo method or FALSE to use the close method
For example Value1 = _MarkplexRenko( TRUE, AvgTrueRange( 14 ), 2, True );

_MarkplexBlock

To call this function use the following syntax: Value1 = _MarkplexBlock( BlockTuner );
Where BlockTuner is a multiple of AvgTrueRange( 14 ) used to calculate block size
For example e.g. Value1 = _MarkplexBlock( 1.0 );
