Here is an indicator in Tradestation I use..... I am looking to switch over to Ensign, but I can't seem to figure out how to code this in ESPL.. any help is appreciated ====================== input: tickSize(0.25), Pds(20), Slw(10); Vars: LWST(Close), HGST(Close), HGST_Fast(50), LWST_Fast(50); Vars: Fast(50), Slow(50); HGST = Highest(High,Pds); LWST = Lowest(Low,Pds); Fast = XAverage((Close-LWST)/maxlist((HGST-LWST), tickSize),Slw) * 100; HGST_Fast = Highest(Fast,Pds); LWST_Fast = Lowest(Fast,Pds); Slow = XAverage((Fast-LWST_Fast)/(maxlist(HGST_Fast-LWST_Fast, tickSize)),Slw)*100; Plot1(Slow); Thanks!
There's a bunch of sample code here. I'm not sure what your TS code is trying to do so I can't help. Can you decipher? http://www.ensignsoftware.com/espl/espl.htm
Thanks.... I got this indicator a long time ago from a friend who used it, however I never really followed what it was trying to accomplish. Seems like a double smoothed stoch ala Walter bressert I only use it on occasion, but wanted to transfer it over to Ensign. here is the same code in Metastock... Slw:=Input("Slowing double stoch",1,5,3); Pds:=Input("Periods double stoch",3,21,10); A:=Mov((CLOSE-LLV(LOW,Pds))/(HHV(H,pds)-LLV(L,Pds)),Slw,E)*100; Mov((A-LLV(A,pds))/(HHV(A,Pds)-LLV(A,Pds)),Slw,E)*100 thanks for the link.. will check out the ESPL code,, I am sure given enough time I can figure it out
Be careful using Ensign especially if you want more that a few Markets and leave your computer running all night. Ensign has a memory leak that is aggrevating.
I have not noticed anything. I have had Ensign and IB running on a machine for a year now. However, I log out and in every day. I have not noticed any memory usage out of ordinary as compared to other trading programs. In fact, Ensign uses less memory. With that said, I think the owner should give the Enisgn platform an upgrade to something more up to date.
I requested a fix from Howard for a year and it kept falling on deaf ears so I switched programs. The problem only occurs when you leave the program run overnight with multiple screens open.
