    Hi guys!

    I'm working on one simple afl but it can't work.
    I have a simple chart with 30 min periodicity and a put a stoch indicator below which is 4 hourly(it's own timeframe)..
    this is only the "4 hourly stoch indicator":

    _SECTION_BEGIN("stochastic 4 hourly");
    TimeFrameSet(4*inHourly);
    slow= StochD(5,3,3);
    fast=StochK(5,3);
    TimeFrameRestore();
    Plot(TimeFrameExpand(slow, 4*inHourly),"Stoch 5,3,3", colorRed);
    Plot(TimeFrameExpand(fast, 4*inHourly), "Stoch 5,3", colorBlue);
    _SECTION_END();

    and then I make a simple scan but it put everywhere a buy arrow on the 4 hourly stochastic

    TimeFrameSet(4*inHourly);
    stok=StochK(5,3);
    stod=StochD(5,3,3);
    TimeFrameRestore();

    Buy=stok>stod;


    not only when the 5,3 bigger than the 5,3,3 but the 5,3 is smaller than 5,3,3..
    this is my biggest problem...
    thank you
    bye

    use the "cross" function:

    Buy=cross(stok,stod);

    sell=cross(stod,stok);

    I tried that but the same problem... :(
    I attach a jpg picture so you can see what happened....the main chart is 30 min, my second stoch is the 4 hourly...and the third indicator is daily...
     
  4. try this

    TimeFrameSet(4*inHourly);
    stok=StochK(5,3);
    stod=StochD(5,3,3);
    Buy=cross(stok,stod);
    sell=cross(stod,stok);
    TimeFrameRestore();

    I don't have time to play w/ it right now but you may have to put a timeframexpand statement into the stochk and stochd before buy/sell statements. not sure but you may want to look at that .

    Also, there is a very active Amibroker board on yahoo where you have a lot of good amibroker folks...you may want to try that.

    thx mlsiqnups!!

    it looks like it worked... :D

    _SECTION_BEGIN("stochastic 4 hourly");
    TimeFrameSet(4*inHourly);
    slow=StochD(5,3,3);
    fast=StochK(5,3);
    TimeFrameRestore();
    _SECTION_END();

    Buy=TimeFrameExpand(slow, 4*inHourly) < TimeFrameExpand(fast, 4*inHourly);
