Thanks for this thread as well as the other ACSIL thread. I am trying to get a value out of the zig zag study (VolumeDividedByLengthInTicks) but it is displayed as a text label and is not an accessible subgraph. Can you propose a way to modify the ZZ study so that I can access to this data as a subgraph? I would like to be able to use that number in an alert calculation.
Thank you!
Can you help answer these questions from other members on NexusFi?
Sorry about the slow reply. If you look at the Studies7.cpp file in C:\SierraChart\ACS_Source On line 1187 in the CreateZigZagLineLabel function you can see that the calculation is,
You can copy the ZigZag function, rename it as something unique and add a subgraph to hold and display that calculation.
The following user says Thank You to Trembling Hand for this post:
Thank you so much! Any chance you can help me determine the line numbers I should copy and paste to recreate the ZigZag function? I was looking at the file last night and its not super clear to me. If you don't have time, I understand. I can probably experiment for myself and figure it out.
I have been looking around through threads on here, and Sierra, trying to get a start on building a little automated setup, so I can backtest without a pen and paper.
I haven't really seen anything like what I'm looking for. Most people are asking for what seems to be more data collection/combining studies, and things that are more complex.
I think it is rather simple, I just need pointed in the right direction. Not sure if the spreadsheets or ACSIL are what I'm after.
Entrance based on a figure given by an indicator: enter long when cross from above, enter short when cross from below. 3 contracts, limit. -7 stop all. Once it comes 4 ticks in favour, stop moves to -4. Target 1, +10 ticks, once hit, stop moves to break even. Target 2, +17. Once target 2 hit, the stop for the final contract becomes trailing at -6.
I am not afraid to spend some time trying to code this, in fact I would love to be able to say I put it together somewhat. But I need a template.. if anyone has seen something similar, please let me know.
