Interpretation


Calculation

EMPlus is simply the percentage of bars that have achieved new highs within the specified lookback period. Consider, for example, the EMPlus with a period of 40. Within the past 40 bars there have been 20 bars that have reached a 40 bar high. The EMPlus indicator value for this bar would be 50, because 50% of the bars have reached new highs in the period.

Example

using System; using System.Collections.Generic; using System.Text; using System.Drawing; using WealthLab; using WealthLab.Indicators;

namespace WealthLab.Strategies { public class MyStrategy : WealthScript { protected override void Execute() { ChartPane EMPane = CreatePane( 35, true, true ); DataSeries EMPlus1 = EMPlus.Series( Close, 40 ); PlotSeries( EMPane, EMPlus1, Color.Blue, LineStyle.Solid, 1 ); PlotStops(); for(int bar = 40; bar < Bars.Count; bar++) { if (IsLastPositionActive) { Position p = LastPosition; if( p.MAEAsOfBarPercent(bar) < -6 ) SellAtMarket( bar+1, p, "Stop Loss 6%" ); else SellAtAutoTrailingStop( bar+1, p, 2, 25, "Trailing Stop 2,25" ); } else { // Looks like a bull trend has formed if( CrossOver( bar, EMPlus1, 20 ) ) BuyAtMarket( bar+1, "Bull" ); } } } } }
