Is-CAtr-indicator-compatible-with-IndOnInd-transformer

I might be able to help, but first you have to tell me what is the "CAtr-Indicator"?

Hi Cone, you can see in the picture the description. Does that helps you?

IndiSel.Utilities - this a 3rd party indicator. Whom you obtained it from?

by using indicator selection and indicator of "Tasc". I bought these welathlab extensions before...

I "think" he means the finantic.IndicatorSelection extension.

You're right, it comes from finantic.IndicatorSelection - I can't help you there.
You'll need to ask DrKoch about that CAtr, and, it would appear that that extension is causing the other anomalies with duplicating indicators.

The CAtr indicator (short for "Relative to Close in ATR")
is a helper indicator for the finantic.IndicatorSelection extension.
It is used to "normalize" other indicators that are otherwise not compareable among symbols and/or
different intervals.

It behaves like any other indicator and should not make any trouble with transformer indicators like "IndOnInd".

I'd suggest to use the Eval indictor (Part of finantic.Eval extension) for complex calculations involving several indicators.

The reason why CAtr is not selectable as an input for IndOnInd is (probably) the following:

IndOnInd expects Indicators that have a first argument of TimeSeries.
CAtr (like ATR, ATRP, etc) has a first argument of BarHistory.
No such indicator is available in the dropdown for IndOnInd.

Solution: Use the Eval indicator to perform the calculations you're after. Eval has no such limitation.

Summary:
This is not a problem of finantic's CAtr indicator.
The same happens with ATR, ARRP and any other indicator that expects a BarHistory.

It is a restriction/problem of IndOnInd or the indicator-select-combobox of the IndOnInd indicator when dragged on a chart.

Thanks for your explanations. The EVAL Indicator works fine with that. But I like to optimize the indicators and for that I need the indonind indicator (EVAL is not optimizeable-thats a pitty).
In my opinion each indicator should work with indonind. I wished it... or rather, I would like it to be so, cause indonind is a great indicator and solution in wealthlab...

Hope you find a solution as soon as possible. Thanks in forward.

IndiOnInd applies an indicator to another INDICATOR. An indicator is derived from a TimeSeries, not a BarHistory.

And by the way, there is an optimizable Eval indicator in the latest version of the extension.

And to clarify, the IndOnInd DOES allow you to create an Indicator based on another Indicator that uses BarHistory:



It would not make sense to have the first drop down include things like ATR (or CAtr), because the first parameter of ATR is a BarHistory, not an Indicator.

So, you should be able to select CAtr in the second drop down and create a transformed version of it no problem.

(EVAL is not optimizeable-thats a pitty).

As Glitch already pointed out: The Eval indicator is optimizable with the latest build of finantic.Eval extension

In this picture the SMA period is made optimizable:


This allows for very complex scenarios in a (relatively) straightforward way.

Thank you very much. The evalopt indicator should help. So I'll try it out ...
