There is a set of libraries for global variable handling I think you need to install. I don't know exactly what you do in TS2000i but you should be able to find something on the support website if you search the forums for Global Variable

Hi

i've copied the attached dll file(globalvariable.dll) into below folder, and the first error disappeared:

C:\Program Files\Omega Research\Program

but the problem with GV_Setnamedfloat , still present, i found this link which is offering the answer to be found in a limited part of http://www.tradestationsupport.com forum, it can't be reached without having a username/pass. i don't have any, and can't register too

Regards

Ian,

I think that you are missing either some files or file references. Where did you get the indicator ?

Gareth and Kako thanks for the help.

Paul, the indicator is from Iraj.

As far as I remember installing global variables involves importing some ELD files into tradestation and copying a DLL called somthing like GlobalVariable.dll I think into your Tradestation/Program directory. You need to be careful to get a compatible set of bits for each other and your version of TS. I got mine for 8.1 from the support site but I don't know whether you can register on the support site as a 2000i user.

I've just read you post more carefully. Your GV zip file is called 1-1 . GVSetnamedfloat is part of version 2.1 of Global variables. So you probably need a version 2-1 zip file. Ask Omega research if they have one. If you get no joy PM me an e-mail address. Likewise Ianp.

Hi

i think i found the 2.1 version of GV, here's the direct link of downloading it: DL

and this is the link of the forum:
https://www.tradestation.com/discussions/Topic.aspx?Topic_ID=19630&PAGE=2&#187751

hope this helps ian

I think you also have to be careful some files (including some dll's i assume ) that work with TS arn't downward compatible with 2000i
should anyone find the dll (global variables) that works with 2000i would they let me have a copy

I don't have Iraj's code so I cant help with that but on the basis it was working when I saw it on his machine I'm sure it is OK. The code I wrote works fine.

Have you put globalvariable.dll in your tradestation "program" directory?

I am glad you asked this because Grey1 kindly emailed me the exhaustion(?) code and I got exactly the same errors as you. Would you be kind enough to share the fix with me if/when you get to the bottom of it?

Cheers

Steve

 

[LevII]

You need 2.1 to deal with named variables

 

[ianp]

Thanks to all for the help in sorting this out.

The solution was to place the globalvariable dll which I downloaded from the link supplies by Kako into the program folder of omega research.

It all seems to be working now.

cheers
Ian

Hi Ianp

Did you put the entire contents of the unzipped folder into the omega folder or just specific file?

Thanks

Steve

 

[evostik]

Hi again. I have added the dll as advised in this thread (thank you all) which allowed me to import Iraj's MACCI code withour the errors. I can add the indicator onto a chart but it doesn't acually plot the graph. It puts an automatic scale on the Y axis OK so it seems to be reading data(?) but it just doesn't plot a visible line. Could anyone help me with this please?

Many Thanks

Steve

 

[Grey1]

This should be the final product . using the exhaustion engine you should know where you stand with the trend, You obvioulsy wont open a trade whenthe mometum is exhausted. You can also use the engine in Strategy 3.

Sorry about all the errors you got I just saw all ur postes

using The engine you can cover your shorts if $INDU is OS and longs if OB .

[evostik]

Thanks Grey1 - it works now for me - the problem I had was that the MACCI will only plot in BLACK, even if you change it in the indicator options, and because my 'background' is black you obviosley can't see it!

Have a good day,

Steve

Hi,

can someone advise me how to get the 3 cci columns I have loaded the indiacator and only have one column.

Thanks
Ian

Ian,

This is what the Global Variable is used for. You need to set up 3 Macci RS screens at one, three and five minute compression. The you open a further screen that is an indicator that references the other three. Do you not have this already ?
