Ichimoku error

#1 Postby pico » Thu Oct 27, 2011 12:13 pm

Hi,
Wish to inform the following problem when using the Ichimoku indicator:

a) Senkou Span A & Span B's values diplayed on the small Data Window are not correct after verifying with the formula and checked with the bar data on the chart;

b) Accessing the buffers of Ichimoku Senkou Span A & Span B using create CreateIndicator and GetIndicator returned two values different from the Data Window (using BufferIndex 3 and 4) :
-----------------------------------
procedure ResetStrategy; stdcall;
begin
OrderHandle := -1;
IndIchimoku := CreateIndicator(Currency, TimeFrame, 'Ishimoku',
Format('%d;%d;%d', [TenkanSenPeriod, KijunSenPeriod, SenkouSpanBPeriod]));
end;

procedure GetSingleTick; stdcall;
var
.......
SenkouSpanA := GetIndicatorValue(IndIchimoku,0,3);
SenkouSpanB := GetIndicatorValue(IndIchimoku,0,4);

------------------------------------

Tenkan Sen and Kijun Sen's values fetched from GetIndicatorValue are correct and tally with the one in the Data Window.

Thanks.

Hello, can you please send us your calculations?

why do you think that Senkou Span A & Span B's values are shown incorrectly on the chart?
do you have some screenshots?

did you compare indicator values with the same indicator in MetaTrader?

Ichimoku error

Hi,

Item (1):
My appology for the mistake made in item (1)- as I had inserted 25 instead of 26 into the ihighest and ilowest functions to calculate Senkou Span A & SpanB.

For time shifting of 26 period, I should use 26 and not 25 as the initial bar.

Formula used:

F_SenkouSpanB := (high(iHighest(Currency, TimeFrame, MODE_HIGH, 52, 26)) + low(iLowest(Currency, timeFrame, MODE_LOW, 52, 26)))/2;

Item (2) - Span A & Span B values returned from GetIndicatorValue is different from the data window. Part of the related codes:


procedure GetSingleTick; stdcall;
var
//B_...denotes value fetched from buffer
B_TenkanSen: double;
B_KijunSen: double;
B_SenkouSpanA: double;
B_SenkouSpanB: double;

//F_ calculated values
F_TenkanSen: double;
F_KijunSen: double;
F_SenkouSpanA: double;
F_SenkouSpanB: double;
......
.....
//method 1: accessing bufffers
B_TenkanSen := GetIndicatorValue(IndIchimoku,0,0);//correct
B_KijunSen := GetIndicatorValue(IndIchimoku,0,1);//correct
B_SenkouSpanA := GetIndicatorValue(IndIchimoku,0,3);//wrong value
B_SenkouSpanB := GetIndicatorValue(IndIchimoku,0,4);//wrong value
}
//method 2: by formula
F_TenkanSen := (high(iHighest(Currency, TimeFrame, MODE_HIGH, 9, 0)) + low(iLowest(Currency, timeFrame, MODE_LOW, 9, 0)))/2;

F_KijunSen := (high(iHighest(Currency, TimeFrame, MODE_HIGH, 26, 0)) + low(iLowest(Currency, timeFrame, MODE_LOW, 26, 0)))/2;

F_SenkouSpanA := ((high(iHighest(Currency, TimeFrame, MODE_HIGH, 9, 26)) + low(iLowest(Currency, timeFrame, MODE_LOW, 9, 26)))/4) + ((high(iHighest(Currency, TimeFrame, MODE_HIGH, 26, 26)) + low(iLowest(Currency, timeFrame, MODE_LOW, 26, 26)))/4);

F_SenkouSpanB := (high(iHighest(Currency, TimeFrame, MODE_HIGH, 52, 26)) + low(iLowest(Currency, timeFrame, MODE_LOW, 52, 26)))/2;

//include the str and print to compare the values displayed in the jounal while executing an instant sell order

str(B_TenkanSen, val);
Print('B_Tenkan ' + val);

str(B_KijunSen, val);
Print('B_Kijun ' + val);

str(B_SenkouSpanA, val);
Print('B_spanA ' + val);

str(B_SenkouSpanB, val);
Print('B_spanB ' + val);

str(F_TenkanSen, val);
Print('F_Tenkan ' + val);

str(F_KijunSen, val);
Print('F_Kijun ' + val);

str(F_SenkouSpanA, val);
Print('F_spanA ' + val);

str(F_SenkouSpanB, val);
Print('F_spanB ' + val);

After running the strategy and refer to the last "sell" trade as example, using the jounal to compare these values:


- Calculated values = values in data window, for all four values.
- Buffer values of Senkou Span A and Span B is different from the data windows.

I have attached the image and the strategy files for your reference.
Thanks.
