problem
Lester,
Tried the IIF code
but got the same results. It must be my logic but for the life of me I
cannot understand why the logic is not stopping the plotting when the
conditions are reached. Instead the logic appears to be saying that in
every bar there is a long and short signal which is not the case. Here's
the new code I generated:
PivotMALong=MA(Pivot,LongPeriods);
PivotMAShort=MA(Pivot,ShortPeriods);
// Plot Long and short period MA of
pivot
Plot( PivotMALong,
"PivotLong",ParamColor(
"Color1", colorCycle
), ParamStyle("Style1",styleThick) );
Plot( PivotMAShort,
"PivotShort",ParamColor(
"Color2", colorCycle
), ParamStyle("Style2",styleThick) );
// Check for Long or Short
Signals
dotlocationLong = L - 3;
dotlocationShort = H + 3;
IIf((C[0] >
PivotMALong[0]) AND (C[0] >
PivotMAShort[0]) AND (PivotMAShort[0] >
PivotMALong[0]),
Plot(dotlocationLong,"Long",ParamColor(
"Color3", colorGreen ), ParamStyle("Style3",styleDots | styleNoLine | styleNoLabel)),0);
IIf((C[0] <
PivotMALong[0]) AND (C[0] <
PivotMAShort[0]) AND (PivotMAShort[0] <
PivotMALong[0]),
Plot(dotlocationShort,"Short",ParamColor(
"Color4", colorRed ), ParamStyle("Style3",styleDots | styleNoLine | styleNoLabel)),0);
Does the logic make
sense to you?
thx,
Freddie

Plotting problem
1) Instead of "for" loop use IIF(), it's easier:
http://www.amibroker.com/guide/afl/afl_view.php?id=722)
Use PlotShapes() to plot dots, arrows, etc. on the chart:
http://www.amibroker.com/guide/afl/afl_view.php?id=206Your
code should look something like this:
dotlocationLong = L -
3;
dotlocationShort = H + 3;
// specify variables
PivotMALong =
??;
PivotMAShort = ??;
IIF( ... your conditions here ...
);
// plot the main chart
Plot( Close, "", colorBlue, styleCandle
);
// plot your shapes
PlotShapes( ... );
/////
Below is
an example of the code for PlotShapes. This is just one possible method, there
are a few different ways of coding this:
//***START ***//
Title
= Name()+" \\c11"+Interval(
format=2)+" "+Date()+"\\c-1
C="+C+"\\c11 "+FullName();
Plot(C,"",colorBlue,
styleCandle);
Plot(EMA(C,14), "", 32, 1);
Buy =Cross(C,
EMA(C,14));
Sell=Cross(EMA(C,14),
C);
PlotShapes(shapeUpArrow * Buy, colorGreen, 0, L,
-15);
PlotShapes(shapeDownArrow * Sell, colorRed, 0, H,
-15);
SetChartOptions(0, chartShowDates); // show Date on
X-axis
// to prevent your shapes to move beyond the
// top/bottom
of the chart use this:
GraphXSpace = 5;
//***END
***//
