Re: [amibroker] Possible to run a MACD on a foreign symbol?

["Ara Kaloustian" <ara1@xxxxxxxxxx>]

yes ... but you have to do it indirectly...  if you want MACD(12,26,9)

 

Issue     = Foreign("symbol","C");

EMA1   = EMA(Issue,12);

EMA2   = EMA(Issue,26);

 

MACD1= EMA1 - EMA2;

MACDsig = EMA(MACD1,9);

//Easy to do using SetForeign and RestorePriceArrays.

//Remove the a param line and writeval sections after verification that it indeed works.

 

//Current symbol

a=Param("MACD Mult",1,1,1000,1);// only necessary when using Forex symbols or small stock values to verify

//that indicator values are identical; also compare last values at RHS.

Plot(a*MACD(), WriteVal(a,1.0)+"*MACD", colorGreen);// Current symbol

Plot(a*Signal(), WriteVal(a,1.0)+"*Signal", colorRed);

 

//Foreign Symbol

Symbol1="EUR.USD-IDEALPRO-CASH";

SetForeign(Symbol1);//redirects to Foreign symbol

Plot(a*MACD(), WriteVal(a,1.0)+"*Other MACD", colorBlue);

Plot(a*Signal(), WriteVal(a,1.0)+"*Other Signal", colorGold);

RestorePriceArrays();// Back to normal

I have a chart with a Price series and a Price (foreign) series. I also have MACD within the primary symbol's pane, but when I place a MACD within the foreign symbol's pane, it's identical to the primary symbol on the chart.

Is there a way to show a MACD (foreign) for the foreign symbol?
