Chart

Alternating background colors based on time intervals

You can use two colors for the chart background and alternate them based on certain time intervals (hourly, daily, weekly, monthly, yearly).

To activate interval coloring ▪ Right-click in the chart and choose Properties. ▪ In the Chart Properties dialog, click Pane 1. ▪ Select Interval and choose the time period you want to use (for example, Month). ▪ Choose a Pane color and an Alternate color.

Easier handling of chartable expressions

Chartable expressions are mathematical calculations that are plotted on the chart as a line. You can use chartable expressions to convert the prices of a security to another currency, transform the prices to another value (for example, multiply them by a fixed value), or even create simple studies. When you insert a chartable expression, you can now easier identify the symbols that are present in the chart and choose the available operators from pop-up lists.

QuickBar

Drag and drop from the QuickBar

You can now drag a single symbol from the QuickBar to an exisiting document and drop it there. The symbol will be added to the document.

Drawing Tools

Additional custom levels for Fibonacci Retracements & Expansions

Additional levels were added for the drawing tools Fibonacci Retracements and Fibonacci Expansions. The available levels now range from -2,618 to 4,236.

Analysis Tools

Default settings for studies

After you have changed the properties of a study on the Parameters or Appearance tab of the Insert Studies dialog (or in the Chart Properties dialog), you can save these settings by clicking the button Set As Default. These default settings will then be used every time you insert this study on a chart. You can of course also still edit the default settings of a study in the Study Editor.

Curve property manipulations from within the study code

You can now also set and modify the colors, line style and weight for line and area objects from within the source code of a TeleTrader study. This means that you can for example change the color of a line depending on certain conditions in your program.

The following example code shows the usage of the new syntax options:

Function ColorLines Returns Numeric;

Parameters Security Source;

Variables Numeric movs1; Numeric movs2; Numeric bar; Numeric HeatColor;

Begin

{ line changes color when volume exceeds avarage}

If Source.Vol > Average(Source.Vol, 10) Then Begin SetLineProperty("Volume", Color, clrLime); SetLineProperty("Volume", Width, 3); End Else SetLineProperty("Volume", Style, DashDot);

DrawLine("Volume", Source.Vol);

{HeatColor changes with bar position }

bar = CurrentBar;

If bar <= 255 Then HeatColor = RGB(bar, 0, 0) Else If bar <= 510 Then HeatColor = RGB(255, bar, 0) Else If bar <= 765 Then HeatColor = RGB(255, 255, bar) Else HeatColor = RGB(255, 255, 255);

{ Area uses HeatColor as fill color }

movs1 = #movs(Source, 50, 0); movs2 = #movs(Source, 5, 0); DrawArea("Area", movs2, movs1); SetAreaProperty("Area", FillColor, HeatColor);

End.

For details about the syntax used, consult the TeleTrader Analysis Tools manual.

New Studies

The following Market Breadth studies have been added: ▫ Breadth Trust: This study consists of a 10-day exponential average of the advances divided by the sum of the advances plus the declines. ▫ Coppock Breadth: Originally developed as a weekly indicator, the Coppock Breadth Indicator can also be adapted to daily breadth data. ▫ Haurlan Index: This study shows the exponential of the advances minus the declines. ▫ McClellan Summation Index: This index provides a long-range view of market breadth. It is a cumulative sum of all daily McClellan Oscillator readings. ▫ Merriman Breadth Model: This indicator utilizes a relationship between the A/D line and a market index. ▫ Swenlin IT Breadth Oscillator: The Intermediate Term Breadth Momentum Oscillator is a barometer of breadth. ▫ Swenlin Trading Oscillator Breadth: This study was designed for short-term trading. ▫ The existing studies Advance Decline Line, Advance Decline Ratio, Arms Index TRIN, Market Thrust and McClellan Oscillator were adapted to make it easier to choose the desired market (Index) from the Parameters tab od the Insert Study dialog. For detailed information about the new studies refer to the Analysis Tools manual, which is accessible from the Help menu.
