[amibroker] Re: Show Donchian Channel on Chart



PureBytes Links

Trading Reference Links

I sent you an earlier reply that clarifies my question.
 
I clicked on the "apply indicator" icon in Formula Editor and only saw
trade arrows and a split screen showing both price bars and a
candlestick chart..
 
I'd like to see an upper line that shows the upper part of the channel
and a lower line that shows the lower part of the channel.
 
Again, thanks for being patient with me.
 
Also, here is the code I used....
 
Plot(C,"C",colorBlack,styleCandle);

pds=30;

Buy = C > Ref(HHV(H,30),-1);

BuyPrice = Ref(HHV(H,30),-1);

Sell = C < Ref(LLV(L,30),-1);

SellPrice = Ref(LLV(L,30),-1);

Buy = ExRem(Buy,Sell);

Sell = ExRem(Sell,Buy);

 

Thanks Howard

Wally
