The use of self-compiled indicators is needless to say, here is a brief introduction to the compilation process and call method of the self-compiled indicators on the PC side of the straight flush, and those who have not been exposed to the self-compiled indicators can also get started immediately, and easily get the self-compiled technical indicators that meet their own solutions.
Step 1: Open "Tools - Formula Management" in the top menu bar, as shown in Figure 1.
Step 2: Click "New" on the right side, then select "Technical Indicators" in the pop-up menu, and press the "OK" button, as shown in Figure 2.
In this step, if you choose to create a new "Custom Formula", "Alert Formula" or "Trading System", the difference is that the new indicator will be placed in different files in the formula library and used for different functions, such as automatic stock selection, etc. The additional steps and requirements are similar to the new "Technical Indicators" below.
Step 3: Next, after the following window pops up, it is the main interface of compiling "Technical Indicators", as shown in Figure 3.
1.The "Name", "Description" of the technical indicator. Note that the name can only contain Chinese characters and or letters, and cannot have punctuation. The technical indicator name in this article is assumed to be "ABC1" and the indicator description is assumed to be "ABC2".
2.The "applicable period" of the technical indicator, such as 30 minutes, day, week, month, etc.
3.The way the technical indicator draws the line, that is, the position at the time of use, is either a secondary chart, or a main chart, or a volume chart. It can also be overlaid on the subplot and so on.
4.Indicators are technical analysis, or tick movements.
5.Editorial area: the content of technical indicators; The simplest example is written here, and a few common ways to display indicators are listed below.
1) Variable +": You can draw curves and straight lines, such as the 2nd and 3rd lines in the editing area;
2) Variable + "=" to assign a value to the variable, or define a specific condition, such as the first line in the edit area;
3) The drawicon formula, etc., is the formula for drawing warning signs. There are some formulas in the Straight Flush software that draw warning symbols, text, lines or line segments, such as line 4 in the edit area.
After the indicator formula is compiled, click "OK" below, and the software will automatically check whether the indicator content meets the syntax requirements of the formula. If there is a problem, the software will automatically prompt you, so that the mistake can be easily corrected.
All the formulas and functions of the Straight Flush software, as well as their meanings and simple usage, can be seen on the left side of this formula editing interface, as shown in Figure 4 below.
There are formulas and functions for the "straight flush pattern" and the "Tongdaxin pattern". Under normal circumstances, you can use the straight flush pattern.
All formula functions are divided into more than twenty categories. More than half of them are useful, including graphs, logic, arithmetic, references, indicators, strings, and so on. The importance of formula functions depends on each person's different hobbies and algorithms. Because, there are different functions that can do exactly the same thing.
The fourth step is to add "Indicator Description" to the edited technical indicator, as shown in Figure 5.
After the formula is edited and before clicking "OK", in the upper right corner of the pop-up window, click the "Usage Notes" button to pop up the input window of the indicator description. Here you can write the precautions for the use of indicators, the meaning of indicators, and other things that need to remind yourself.
This window is a plain text window and does not involve formula functions, but only records instructions for the use of the indicator for memoir.
In addition, when clicking on the "Usage Notes" button, the software will automatically check whether the formula function edited by the user meets the requirements. If there is no problem at this time, after completing the "Usage Note" input and clicking "OK", and then "confirming" that the formula editing in the previous step is completed, the software will not check your editing content repeatedly, but directly close the editing window and end the editing.
After the formula is edited, the software also has a formula backtesting function, which automatically backtests the return rate of the compiled indicator within a certain range, as shown in Figure 6 of the figure below.
As a rule of thumb, this formula backtest should only be used as a reference for whether the indicator meets the user's compilation goals.
Fifth, after the above operations are completed, the technical indicators compiled by the user will appear in the "Common" formula library in the menu "Tools - Formula Management" at the top of the window. Later, it can be called at any time in the ** or exponential corresponding ** window selected by the user, as shown in Figure 7.
Note that when compiling an indicator, sometimes the metric is not set to the "Common" attribute after editing because there is no new metric under the "Common" tab, and the metric will only appear under the "User" tab. In this case, the user cannot see the corresponding indicator when calling the graph interface. In this case, you need to find the corresponding indicator name under the "Users" tab, and then find "Set as Favorite" on the right side of the window and select it. After that, the indicator will appear in "Common".
The sixth step is the invocation of self-compiled technical indicators.
First of all, open your selected ** or ** index, and determine the period, daily or 30-minute line, etc., as shown in Figure 8 of the figure above.
In the lower left corner of the screen, click "Settings", and add the indicator "ABC1" that you just compiled under "Custom Metrics" on the left to the "Select Metrics" column by clicking the "Add" button. In this selected indicator column, the order in which all indicators are arranged up and down is the order in which the indicators on the lower side of the main screen are arranged from left to right. If you want to adjust the order of the indicators on the home screen, you can select the name of the indicator you want to adjust the position in this window, and then press the "Move Up" and "Move Down" buttons to adjust it.
After the above operations, the indicator "ABC1" edited by the user himself will appear in the indicator row at the bottom of the window, and the user can use this technical indicator as if it were a system indicator (such as MACD or KDJ). **10,000 Fans Incentive Plan
