Hi Jim!

I hope that you and your family are safe and healthy this Holiday Season.

I'd like to plot a signal (Buy and Sell Triangle) on the Indicator or System plot itself and I think that this is now doable in OmniLanguage.

I note a Keyword of SignalPane. But when I click on it just the Keyword comes up with no indication on how to use it.

Do you know if Signals can now be plotted on an Indicator or System and, if so, what to do to make it happen?

Thanks,

Tom Helget

Hi Tom

I honestly don’t know - I’ve not used it. I’ve long been accustomed to plotting dots or dashes above or below the candle to do that kind of thing. Maybe do some experiments with params like 1=Long and 2=Short. IIRC, that’s what the new wraparound function that processes Systems as functions does. But I haven’t tested that either.

Yeah, I tried a few things like that but to no avail.

I sent an email off to Barry Cohen and will post his answer here if he knows how to do it.

I recalled a conversation with Barry and I think the syntax might be something like:
SignalPane = LongSignal
(Or = ShortSignal)
That causes the related triangle to appear in an Indicator (price pane), and sets the Signal flag when used in a System.
If memory serves.

C:\Program Files (x86)\Nirvana\OT2020\VBA\Temp\sysSlimRibbonPO.txt(158) : error BC30455: Argument not specified for parameter 'fPlotAtValue' of 'Public Shared Property SignalPane(nRec As Integer, fPlotAtValue As Single) As OTBase2020.enuSignals'.

Hmm. Try using signalpane(1)=LongSignal
Fingers crossed.

Ha, well that compiles but still no little green triangles appear.

I have three "panes" on my chart - price, my indicator and the Volume Heat Indicator.

When I use SignalPane(2) = LongSignal my Volume Heat Indicator "disappears".

So, we are definitely on to something, but I just don't know what.

Signals in the Indicator Pane is a capability that OT had many years ago; I haven't seen them in OT after 2008.
My guess is that it is a capability that died when N allowed us to write our indicators, systems and stops in OmniLanguage.
I don't know when Barry joined N; if it was after 2007, then he wouldn't know about the old capability.
Regardless, it's died a long time ago (probably because of a change in OT that made it difficult to continue).
Right clicking to get reasons for a signal or vote has also changed over the years.
