Hi All,
Could anyone please shed some light on why I can't seem to be able to get RadarScreen to display the current VWAP value. I am using 1 min data compression for a given symbol and inserting the VWAP indicator as a columb in the normal way (like one does with any other indicator) but instead of displaying the current VWAP value it just displays the "LAST PRICE" value?
I guess I am missing something obvious but after playing around with it for a few days now, with no luck, I would really appreciate some help here.
Many Many Thanks
Steve

Have you altered the Max bars to look back and the number of additional bars to load ?
These values determine how much data your calcs can look at, and this will make a difference to the result.
Select Radar Screen by clicking on it's Blue bar at the top.
In the main menu at the top of Prosuite, select Format and then Indicator(S) and then "Your indicator name" for All Symbols.
Look in the General Tab for the values you can alter.

Debug window not updating
Hi all
I've been coding and testing and using the debug window in Power Editor to output some values.
At first rows of values appear in the debug window as time passes, but then after a few minutes no more lines appear, so I never get enough values to check all my code. The chart carries on updating ok.
I've hunted around the web and the user manual but can't find any reasons for this.
Can anyone throw any light on this problem ?
Any advice much appreciated.

I don't recognise your problem specifically but, to be honest, I really struggle to use debug until I have zoomed in pretty closely to the problem, then I set some kind of hard coded breakpoint if I need to at the precise point. Others probably have it better sorted.
However, alternative techiques (in TS8.1 but I'm sure they are valid a few versions ago)I have found very useful are:
file append statements to log key values at certain points into a csv file which can be read into excel to examine.
Commentary statements - these can be used to output all the key values on a bar. You can then look at a chart and if something looks wrong use "view commentary" to see these values displayed for each bar you're interested in.
Apologies if this is old news

Gareth

VWAP on RS
I have a couple of questions in relation to using the VWAP on the radar screen-
1)For some reason (unknown to me)- when I include the VWAP indicator on the Radar Screen, it shows me the same values for the vWAP, upper and the lower bands. Although, in the tradestation chart, the same indicator indicates correctly. Please can someone suggest a solution for this?
2) To be able to get an alarm when the price touches the VWAP bands, am I right in thinking that I should tick the 'set alarm' box in the 'format indicator' for the VWAP in the RS? Is there any other way to set the RS to give an alarm when the price touches the bands?
Thanks
Raj

1) On RS click Format symbol and then select "General" and tick the box that says "Load additional data for accumulative calculations" and enter a value of 390 (this is the number of minutes a trading session lasts)
Make sure you have compression set to 1 min for the above.
2) There are other ways of getthing an alert which is written into easylanguage code. Using the RS alert approach is awful because it will constantly tell you an alert has happened and you wont be able to keep up. The sort of line in Easylanguage that will give an alert is like this:
If tTrade = "Buy" and Condition1 then begin
Plot1("Buy", "Alert", Black);
SetPlotBgColor(1, Cyan);
end
Not easy I know as you have to set variables to determine what tTrade would be and what Condition1 is etc but this is a much better way to get alerts.

Hi Paul,
Thanks a lot for your reply; I will try to make the code as you have suggested. How would the alarm be visible; i.e. currently I keep all the charts minimised and the only way I can find out if the band is hit is by opening each chart -with this alarm code what will be the kind of alarm? will it be an additional 'alarm' column with the VWAP in the RS?
Regards
Raj
