Donna,
SetChartOptions(1,chartShowDates); is from version 4.70.5 It just forces your
chart to automatically show the dates on the X axis. You should really upgrade
to this latest (official, non-beta) release, it's
free.

Hi Terry,
The logic and reasoning in your explanation makes
me say, " ...ahhhhh now I get it! You are truly the sun behind
the clouds." Your rendering of my code works absolutely perfectly!
Adding the additional plot lines (for my values) sure make them
easier/faster to locate. Not only that, your AFL coding is so much more neater.
The only line that did not work
was:
SetChartOptions(1,chartShowDates);
I am using version 4.6. I looked up
some coding in the library and each one began with:
_SECTION_BEGIN
Anyway, I just disabled it and the code worked perfectly. My ' stress level
' has gone down a hundred points. Now I know in the
market, if going long, that's not good thing - but if going short, espeacially on 2-1 margin, it a
very, very good thing ![]()
.
Have a good weekend and God Bless You.
Sincerely,
Donna

Donna,
Okay,
now that I understand your code better…
The
problem with the display not changing the "status" and always
printing "stay" is that Amibroker does not have ARRAYS for STRINGS.
In other words you cannot say:
wi =
IIf(cond1,"stay","exit"); //This will get a syntax error.
The
reason you don't get an error is you are using a loop and assigning a single
value to wi, which is just fine. However, each bar of your loop continually reassigns the value of wi
ending up with the last day (today) being the value that always prints since it
can hold only a single text string.
THE
FIX: I took out your loop and used ARRAY code (much faster anyway). Instead of
setting wi = "some text", I set wi to a flag of 1, 2 or 0. Then in
then I load "text" into a variable I arbitrarily named myresult using
WriteIf(wi == 1,"DiffO", WriteIf(wi == 2,"DiffC",
"Stay"). This changes everyday as you wish.

Good Morning Terry,
I hope this works without the (>>![]()
. I
don't know why they show. I dislike when they appear. They are annoying. I just
cut and paste the messages. When I sent my first reply there were so many. So
if I posting incorrectly, tell me the right way. I am always willing to learn.
Again, thank you for helping me with this. I have so
many different ways to try to get the values to show in the title when I click
on the various different bars. Being new to this and attempting to get
Amibroker to do what I want is so hard and frustrating. I know your formual
works It does give me the name and values, in the title, for the last trading
day. And yes, the values change as you scroll through, which seem to me
to means that the code does work. I just can't figure out for the life of
me, why when I click on individual days the title will not reflect the value. I
agree with you that the days are not many. That is why I posted the symbol WMT.
Stupid as this may sound -- I found the values in the title by scrolling
through, yet when I click on the actual day, it doesn't show me the value. My
code is posted below:
FastPeriods =5;
SlowPeriods = 20;
FBAvg = Sum( Volume
* Close, FastPeriods ) / Sum( Volume, FastPeriods);
SBAvg = Sum( Volume
* Close, SlowPeriods ) / Sum( Volume, SlowPeriods);
Plot(FBAvg,"Fast ",colorAqua,styleLine);
Plot(SBAvg,"Slow ",colorDarkBlue,styleLine+styleThick);
Plot(Close, "Close", colorBlack, styleBar);
//Calculations//
CalcO = O
- FBAvg;
CalcC = C
- FBAvg;
for( i = 0; i < BarCount;
i++ )
{
if
(SBAvg[i]>FBavg[i] AND (CalcO[i]>=
-0.11 AND
CalcO[i]<= 0.11))
{
wi = " DiffO: " + WriteVal(CalcO[i],1.2) ;
}
else if(SBAvg[i]>FBAvg[i] AND (CalcC[i]>= -0.11 AND CalcC[i]<= 0.11))
{
wi = " DiffC: " + WriteVal(CalcC[i],1.2);
}
else
{
wi = "stay";
}
}
_N(Title
= Name() + " (" + StrLeft(FullName(), 10) + ") --
" + Date() +" O:
"+ WriteVal(O,1.2 )+ " H:
" + WriteVal(H,1.2) + " L:
" + WriteVal(L,1.2) + " C:
" + C + " Fast = " + WriteVal(FBAvg,1.2)+ EncodeColor( colorPaleTurquoise
)+ wi);

Good
morning Donna,
Could
you please paste your entire code and send it again. The code below is
incomplete (and has extraneous >> in it which I removed, but there is
still missing code). I will then run some tests for you.
If
you prefer, you can send the AFL file directly to MagicTH [at] comcast.net

Sorry, typo error.
WMT --August 24,2005 Open:
46.35 , FBAvg: 46.38 gives value DiffO:
-.03
WMT --September 9,2005 Open:

You are right!! I'm sorry. I should have
paid more attention. It does make it easier to read the code this way. I put
the code as stated and got syntax error, so I put 2

Yes, I would like and appreciate
it if you could help me see the values on the chart area for a
given bar. I have clicked on the bars but the title will not show value of
the day I clicked. ie:
WMT --August 24,2005 Open:
46.35 , FBAvg: 46.38 gives value DiffO:
+.07
instead the value in the title says stay.
Thank you.
Sincerely,
Donna

Donna,
You said: "I only want to search within these
ranges. I don't want to find values that are over 0.11 cents or under the
-0.11. Just either or condition within the +0.11 and -0.11 range."
I
gave you the answer already. I also said try this first and I'd help more, but
if you aren't going to listen then I'm not going to help. I make mistakes too
so my answers are not always perfect, but in this case I double checked after
Bob's comment and re-explained. This answer is in this email below and re-copied here:
( CalcO[i] <= 0.11 AND CalcO[i] >= -0.11 ) //Number is BETWEEN -0.11 and +0.11
It
makes more sense for reading code to reverse the terms (the plus and minus
values and < > ) like this:
( CalcO[i] >= -0.11 AND CalcO[i] <= 0.11 ) //Number is BETWEEN -0.11 and +0.11
Simply
scrolling through a window changes nothing except the values reported in the Y
axis on the right side of the graph. If you want to see values (on the chart or
in the Interpretation window) for a given bar, you must click on the bar.
As
to Diff not changing, I see you have the same logic error inside the loop as
shown above. Apply the same fix that as above to stop getting the same answers
regardless of the data values.
There
is more code I have not evaluated yet. If the above is changed and still does
not solve your problem, write back.
