$trin

[traderken]

How do you get $TRIN added to TS on RT? I keep adding it and it comes up telling me I cannot mix symbols with different delays.

Thanks, Ken

Hi Ken,

I have set-up a seperate workspace in which I plot the $TRIN. I have also added horozontal lines for the 1.1 and 0.9 levels.

Please see below

This is easier than trying to add the $TRIN onto the "same" charts as your ES or NQ charts (etc) in TradeStation. eSignal is easier in this respect.

Thanks

Very helpful, thanks, Steve. I have done the same. Mine comes up with two lines, the Index and the smoothed version. Looks like you are just plotting the Arms Index itself??

Hi Ken,

What have you used for the smoothed verson ?

Hi Ken
I also had the same problem and this is what you need to do
add the symbol $trin to your chart then make sure bouth symbols settings are on local time display because the emini is on cme time and the trin is nyse time

[traderken]

Smoothing is set at 4 as default.

I did check the time setting and all are on local time.

Thanks, Ken

For TS8 users, here's a paint bar for $TRIN that I found on TSW - can't display as a line, but still it seems worthwhile : https://www.tradestation.com/discussions/Topic.aspx?Topic_ID=56371

Hi Jtrade if you want to use a line instead of paint bar you can use the colour trin the TraderKen post with steves settings it works great just remember that it use the average of the bar not the closing value but its very close

Inputs:
Price((H+L)/2),
Length1(1),
UDWidth(1),
UDWidth2(1),
colourDeltaBar(1),
widthDeltaBar(1);

Variables: AvgTRIN(0);

if C > 1.1 then SetPlotColor[colourDeltaBar](1,red);
if C < .9 then SetPlotColor[colourDeltaBar](1,blue);
if C >= .90 and C <= 1.1 then SetPlotColor[colourDeltaBar](1,Green);
if C > 1.1 then SetPlotWidth[widthDeltaBar](1, UDWidth);
if C < .90 then SetPlotWidth[widthDeltaBar](1, UDWidth);
if C >= .90 and C <= 1.1 then SetPlotWidth[widthDeltaBar](1, UDWidth2);

AvgTRIN = Average(Price, Length1);

Plot1(AvgTRIN, "TRIN_MA");


Thank you TraderKen for sharing the trin

I hope you can see the picture

This is the indicator for quick use

Thank-you so much, stylist... actually, the original author at the link I posted has just rewritten the indicator to plot as a line, so now we have it both ways !

Edit : just looked at your code and I see you've added a little bit extra... thanks again, stylist & TraderKen.
