Optex Bands

Optuma Scripting

Hi,

I have a question concerning a script for coloring bars according to values of the “Ratio Line” of the Optex Bands indicator.

What I want is a script that colors the bars of e.g. the S&P 500 in green when the “Ratio Line” of the Optex Bands indicator is less than -1.

e.g. Ratio Line Optex Bands<=-1

I know how the settings have do be made in the “Properties” panel of the chart for coloring the bars. I only need the script.

Many thanks for your help.

Hi Thomas,

Simply type OPTEX(). and then select the output value required, ie Ratio

OPTEX().Ratio<=-1

Hi Darren,

thanks again for your fast answer.

The script works of course fine.

Hi,

I want just a bit modify the Optex Bands indicator in that way that I want calculate a moving average of the “Ratio Line”. On the chart this is of course no problem but I have some problems with the script.

I have tried the following but it does not work:

MA(CALC=OPTEX().Ratio, STYLE=Weighted, BARS=2)<=0

The script without a moving average is:

OPTEX().Ratio<=0

I thought I can change the “Close” element of “CALC=Close” with CALC=OPTEX().Ratio but as already mentioned it does not work.

Can anyone give me some advice in this issue?

Thank you very much.

Hi Thomas,

The CALC field refers to the MA, eg based on closing prices, high, etc. Click on the properties box to see available options:

Instead, the item that the moving average is calculating needs to be separated by a comma:

MA(OPTEX().Ratio, BARS=2, CALC=Close, STYLE=Weighted)<=0

For more examples of ‘nesting’ functions see the first lecture here:

Hi Darren,

many thanks again for your help. The assistance I already get from you is priceless!

My next step will be the scripting courses. I have already downloaded all courses and example materials but had not yet the time to work through.
