As Hartle states in the article, the first step is to plot two trendlines going forward, one off the previous week's high and one off the previous week's low. In the article, a how-to on plotting the trendlines manually is given. In TradeStation, however, it is quite straightforward to implement this as an indicator, just like MACD, and we present the EasyLanguage code for such an indicator here. If you have TradeStation 6, you can see that we used the code for the built-in Day Open-Hi-Lo Lines indicator as a starting point for the code presented here. Type : Indicator, Name : Weekly Hi-Lo Lines { This indicator is for use with daily charts and inserts 2 horizontal trendlines for each week, at the high and low of the previous week, respectively. For the current week, the trendlines are extended to the right. } inputs: HighColor( Yellow ), LowColor( Cyan ) ; variables: HavePrevLines( false ), TLHigh( 0 ), TLLow( 0 ), WeekHigh( 0 ), WeekLow( 1000000 ), PrevWeekHigh( 0 ), PrevWeekLow( 0 ) ; if DayOfWeek( Date ) < DayOfWeek( Date[1] ) then { ie, if new week } begin { truncate the previous lines if they exist } if HavePrevLines then begin TL_SetEnd( TLHigh, Date[1], Time[1], PrevWeekHigh ) ; TL_SetEnd( TLLow, Date[1], Time[1], PrevWeekLow ) ; TL_SetExtRight( TLHigh, false ) ; TL_SetExtRight( TLLow, false ) ; end ; { insert the new hi/lo lines and set their colors/extents } TLHigh = TL_New( Date[1], Time[1], WeekHigh, Date, Time, WeekHigh ) ; TLLow = TL_New( Date[1], Time[1], WeekLow, Date, Time, WeekLow ) ; TL_SetColor( TLHigh, HighColor ) ; TL_SetColor( TLLow, LowColor ) ; TL_SetExtLeft( TLHigh, false ) ; TL_SetExtLeft( TLLow,false ) ; TL_SetExtRight( TLHigh, true ) ; TL_SetExtRight( TLLow, true ) ; { re-initialize hi/lo variables } PrevWeekHigh = WeekHigh ; PrevWeekLow = WeekLow ; WeekHigh = High ; WeekLow = Low ; { set flag } if HavePrevLines = false then HavePrevLines = true ; end else { if new hi/lo for week, save values } begin if High > WeekHigh then WeekHigh = High ; if Low < WeekLow then WeekLow = Low ; end ; This code will also be available for download from the EasyLanguage Library at www.tradestationworld.com . --Ramesh Dhingra Director, EasyLanguage Consulting TradeStation Technologies, Inc.
