I am trying to add my script for emad and emau (exponential down and up).

1. Bring up MAD under system scan.
2. In the event only add e in front of ma (for exponential moving average) ie. ema
3. Not changing anything else, I save as eMAD, which should add to my scripts...it does not
I get a compilation errors:
Identifier expected

A namespace cannot directly contain members such as fields or methods..

Please Help,
Thanks, Rick

Hi Rick,

Can you post the exact contents of your script please and I will compile it over here. If that works then I will ask you to send me your copy of "myscripts.xml" but only after we take this first step.

Thanks,
Chris.

chart script : Event:Cross(eMA(C, SlowPeriod),eMA(C,FastPeriod));
parameters: Name Type Default Min Max
FastPeriod Double 22 1 1000
SlowPeriod Double 50 1 1000

Thanks, Riick

Hi Rick,

The script looks good and compiles fine. The problem must be in your 'MyScripts.xml' file. Could you post that to me in an email and I will take a look and fix it for you.

Chris.

not sure what nor how to get myscripts.xml file

Rick

You will find it on your file system in the following folder:
{Documents}\EdgeRater\Chart Scripts

Just attache the MyScripts.xml file to an email and send it to me.

Chris.

Sent to your email twice over last 2 weeks...hopefully u will receive this, tried to send as attachment but failed

I found the problem: One of the scripts had an invalid name. It was called 13xd26. Scripts cannot start with a number. I have modified the name in the attached file and so if you just copy this to your scripts folder, overwriting your existing file it should work. Note the the attachment is a zip file and so you need to unzip it in order to get the MyScripts.xml file from it. The way to attach files to this forum is to zip them first.

Thanks!

oops, not working getting a sap error, sent report
Can I just re-install the program?
