MTF StochasticMACD

New member
Hi everyone, I am trying to code Multi-timeframe StochasticMACD. I simply copy the formula from TOS, but the value is not correct at all. Can anyone correct my mistake, please? Thanks in advance and much appreciated.
Code:
declare lower;

input tf = {"MIN", "TWO_MIN", default "FIVE_MIN", "FIFTEEN_MIN", "HOUR", "TWO_HOURS", "FOUR_HOURS", "DAY", "WEEK", "MONTH"};

def timeframe;

switch (tf){
case "MIN":
timeframe = AggregationPeriod.MIN;
case "TWO_MIN":
timeframe = AggregationPeriod.TWO_MIN;
case "FIVE_MIN":
timeframe = AggregationPeriod.FIVE_MIN;
case "FIFTEEN_MIN":
timeframe = AggregationPeriod.FIFTEEN_MIN;
case "HOUR":
timeframe = AggregationPeriod.HOUR;
case "TWO_HOURS":
timeframe = AggregationPeriod.TWO_HOURS;
case "FOUR_HOURS":
timeframe = AggregationPeriod.FOUR_HOURS;
case "DAY":
timeframe = AggregationPeriod.DAY;
case "WEEK":
timeframe = AggregationPeriod.WEEK;
case "MONTH":
timeframe = AggregationPeriod.MONTH;
}


input stochLength = 45;
input fastLength = 12;
input slowLength = 26;
input signalLength = 9;
input over_bought = 10;
input over_sold = -10;
input averageType = AverageType.EXPONENTIAL;

def hh = Highest(high, stochLength);
def ll = Lowest(low, stochLength);

def fastMA = MovingAverage(averageType, close, fastLength);
def slowMA = MovingAverage(averageType, close, slowLength);

def stochFastMA;
def stochSlowMA;
if (hh - ll) != 0 {
stochFastMA = (fastMA - ll) / (hh - ll);
stochSlowMA = (slowMA - ll) / (hh - ll);
} else {
stochFastMA = 0;
stochSlowMA = 0;
}

plot StochasticMACD = (stochFastMA - stochSlowMA) * 100;
plot Signal = MovingAverage(averageType, StochasticMACD, signalLength);

plot overbought = over_bought;
overbought.SetDefaultColor(GetColor(5));
overbought.SetStyle(Curve.SHORT_DASH);

plot oversold = over_sold;
oversold.SetDefaultColor(GetColor(5));
oversold.SetStyle(Curve.SHORT_DASH);

yeah, I am that dumb. I don't know how to code these two statements for MTF. 🤦‍♂️

plot StochasticMACD = (stochFastMA - stochSlowMA) * 100;
plot Signal = MovingAverage(averageType, StochasticMACD, signalLength);
 
Can anyone correct my statement for this line, please?

plot StochasticMACD = ((stochFastMA - stochSlowMA) * 100, close(period = Period));

This is what I have for the rest:

I think I almost got it. The StochaMACD is more jacketed than its non MTF version.
The values for stochasticMACD and Signal line are not matching but the crossover at almost identical.

try adding period = ...
to the hh and ll formulas
 
I noticed the missing commas, and I tried it again, and I got denied. 😅


stochFastMA = (fastMA - ll) / (hh - ll), close(period = Period);
stochSlowMA = (slowMA - ll) / (hh - ll), close(period = Period);
 
@TOS007 impressed w/ your stick-to-it-fulness
Code:
def agg_high = high (period = period);
def agg_low = low (period = period);
def hh = Highest(agg_high, stochLength);
def ll = Lowest(agg_low, stochLength);

It is alive! It is alive!!! Thank you so much MerryDay!

Here is the code for anyone who is interested!


declare lower;
input Period = aggregationPeriod.HOUR;
input stochLength = 45;
input fastLength = 12;
input slowLength = 26;
input signalLength = 9;

def agg_high = high (period = period);
def agg_low = low (period = period);
def hh = Highest(agg_high, stochLength);
def ll = Lowest(agg_low, stochLength);

def fastMA = MovingAverage(averageType, close(period = Period), fastLength);
def slowMA = MovingAverage(averageType, close(period = Period), slowLength);


def stochFastMA;
def stochSlowMA;

if (hh - ll) != 0 {
stochFastMA = (fastMA - ll) / (hh - ll);
stochSlowMA = (slowMA - ll) / (hh - ll);
} else {
stochFastMA = 0;
stochSlowMA = 0;
}

plot StochasticMACD = (stochFastMA - stochSlowMA) * 100;
plot Signal = MovingAverage(averageType, StochasticMACD, signalLength);
plot OverBought = over_bought;
plot ZeroLine = 0;
plot OverSold = over_sold;

@MerryDay @BenTen
Good afternoon, Can someone please look to see if this code can be changed so that it doesn't project to the right ? (StochMACD error)
Looks like is trying to make a false future projection by standing over the zero line. This makes it difficult to read the correct signal.
Thanks.
This is the TOS original Coding:

@jaricarr this should remove the plots in the expansion area as you requested
Code:
declare lower;

input stochLength = 45;
input fastLength = 12;
input slowLength = 26;
input signalLength = 9;
input over_bought = 10;
input over_sold = -10;
input averageType = AverageType.EXPONENTIAL;

def hh = Highest(high, stochLength);
def ll = Lowest(low, stochLength);

def fastMA = MovingAverage(averageType, close, fastLength);
def slowMA = MovingAverage(averageType, close, slowLength);

def stochFastMA;
def stochSlowMA;
if (hh - ll) != 0 {
    stochFastMA = (fastMA - ll) / (hh - ll);
    stochSlowMA = (slowMA - ll) / (hh - ll);
} else {
    stochFastMA = 0;
    stochSlowMA = 0;
}

def n = double.nan;
def x = !isnan(close);

plot StochasticMACD = if x then (stochFastMA - stochSlowMA) * 100 else n;
plot Signal = if x then MovingAverage(averageType, StochasticMACD, signalLength) else n;
plot OverBought = over_bought;
plot ZeroLine = 0;
plot OverSold = over_sold;

StochasticMACD.SetDefaultColor(GetColor(1));
Signal.SetDefaultColor(GetColor(8));
OverBought.SetDefaultColor(GetColor(7));
ZeroLine.SetDefaultColor(GetColor(0));
OverSold.SetDefaultColor(GetColor(7));
