Series parameter now supported for MACD & MACDD

marco · March 30, 2015, 9:24pm

You can now specify to operate on a different time series for MACD & MACDD. For example use this to calculate the typical MACDD (12,26,9) for the SP500 index

MACDD(12,26,9,0,GetSeries(“$SP500”))

Let us know what other Technical Analysis functions need the series parameter (the goal is to eventually add it to most)

Thanks, very useful.

Please do for ADX/DMI.

Marco:

 Hi. This is one of the TA enhancements I've been waiting for.   Kudos and Thanks.   Another one is the capability to use GetSeries(...) inside of LoopSum.  I think the problem is with embedding the GetSeries double quote into the LoopSum formula.

Agree with Shaun, I would really like this for ADX, have asked in the past for this. Thanks!

Hi Marco,

great addition. It also works for Bollinger Bands now. Here is where it would also be useful:

ATR / ATRN (feature request here http://www.portfolio123.com/feature_request.jsp?featureReqID=1148)

Grazie

ADX and the DMI functions now support the series parameter. Right now it doesn’t allow for constants other than #Close, but that will be available tomorrow; until then you may use GetSeries. Support in ATR and ATRN will also be available tomorrow.
