HI,
I VE THIS PROREAL TIME SCRIPT:
//New Money index
NewMoney=cumsum(close*(volume-volume[1]))
Return NewMoney as "NewMoney"
//Old Profit index
OldProfit=cumsum(volume[1]*(close-close[1]))
Return OldProfit coloured (0,0,250) as "OldProfit"
in order to built an oscillator that help to understand trend by volume ... in other words something that looks like a new money in the market
the cumulation values gives these oscillator
PLEASE how to translate in metastock language?
thank you
Luigi

Not really familiar with the script language. Is the [1] referring to the previous day? You could try the following formula but I am not sure what the oscillator is expected to look like:
NewMoney:=Cum(C * (V-Ref(V,-1)));
NewMoney;
OldProfit:=Cum(Ref(V,-1) * (C - Ref(C,-1)));
OldProfit;

Hello,
is it possible to translate also this indicator from ProRealTime to Metastock?
// Butterworth Indicator
if BarIndex < 2 then
BU=Close
else
BU=BU[1]-BU[2]/3.414+(1/3.414)*Close
Endif
Return BU

Not familiar with this myself, but someone did create a Butterworth Filter via this older post:
http://forum.metastock.c...rworth-Filter#post153839
{ 2 Pole Butterworth Filter }
Data:=((H+L)/2);
Period:=Input("Period",5,175,175);
a1:=Exp(-1.414*3.14159/Period);
b1:=2*a1*Cos(1.414*180/Period);
coef2:=b1;
coef3:=-a1*a1;
coef1:=(1-b1+a1*a1)/4;
Butter:=coef1*(Data+2*Ref(Data,-1)+Ref(Data,-2)) + coef2*PREV + coef3*Ref(PREV,-1);
Butter;

Thank you for the quickly reply, but this is two pole filter.
As shown below:
prevP1 = price[index-1];
prevP2 = price[index-2];
prevB1 = ifNull(price, butter[index-1]); //feedback ingredent
prevB2 = ifNull(price, butter[index-2]); //feedback ingredent
piPrd = Math.PI/period;
a1 = Math.exp(-1.414 * piPrd);
b1 = 2 * a1 * Math.cos(1.414 * piPrd);
coef2 = b1;
coef3 = -a1 * a1;
coef1 = (1 - b1 + a1 * a1) / 4;
plot: butter = coef1 * (price + (2*prevP1) + prevP2) + (coef2*prevB1) + (coef3*prevB2);
Mine should be easier.

I can take a shot at it, you can see if this meets your criteria:
BU:=Cum(1);
BU2:=If(BU < 2,CLOSE,Ref(BU,-1) - Ref(BU,-2))/3.414+(1/3.414)*CLOSE;
BU2

Thank you, i will give a try.
By the way is there, apart formula Metastock Formula Primer pdf, a manual where i can find what every term means quickly?
ie: C = Close, O=Open, etc...

Basically we have what is in the F1 Help of MetaStock. There should be a primary topic called MetaStock Formula Language with several subsections, including the Price Array Identifiers as well as a section for Working With Functions.

How about writing this in metastock?
lag=11
if BarIndex > 2
then BU=close
else BU=BU[1]-BU[2]/3.414+(1/3.414)*Close
endif
c1=BU>BU[lag]
if c1
then buy 1 share at market tomorrowopen
endif
c2=BU<BU[lag]
if c2
then sellshort 1 share at market tomorrowopen
endif

Are you looking to use this as an indicator, system test, exploration, or expert advisor?

I would like to use mainly as an indicator, but if it useful also as a system test and expert advisor.
Thank you.

In looking at the formula a bit, I am not quite sure what the following is supposed to represent:
BU[1]-BU[2]
Is this supposed to refer to the difference between the Close price 1 bar and Close price 2 bars ago?

if BarIndex < 2 then
BU=Close
else
BU=BU[1]-BU[2]/3.414+(1/3.414)*Close
Endif
should be in Metastock
BU:=Cum(1);
BU2:=If(BU < 2,CLOSE,Ref(BU,-1) - Ref(BU,-2))/3.414+(1/3.414)*CLOSE;
BU2

Well this formula I believe would generally work, but because your condition will virtually always be in a buy or sell state, it will repeat the signals:
Lag:=11;
BarIndex:=Cum(1);
BU:=If(BarIndex < 2,CLOSE,Ref(BarIndex,-1) - Ref(BarIndex,-2))/3.414+(1/3.414)*CLOSE;
C1:=BU>Ref(BU,-Lag);
C2:=BU<Ref(BU,-Lag);
If(C1,1,If(C2,-1,0))
There is a way you can write the formula to limit the signals to "new" buy or sell signals, meaning it would only generate a sell signal if the previous signal was a buy, as opposed to repeating the sell signal or buy signal over and over. I'm just not sure if that is what you're looking for. Edited by user Thursday, February 18, 2016 3:03:36 PM(UTC)
