Session Prices (RTX)

The Session Prices RTX extension calculates common price levels of interest on up to three different sessions independent of the session used by the chart. These types of calculations have been available in Investor/RT for some time but each line required its own instance of the Session Statistic indicator and perhaps the MPD indicator, making management of many lines difficult. Session Prices consolidates common session statistics into a single indicator, allowing you to easily add up to 16 lines of interest to a chart using a simple checkbox user interface to select the lines you wish to see.

Session Prices tracks the following levels from one intuitive user interface:

  • Full Session:
    • High
    • Low
  • Regular Trading Hours:
    • High
    • Low
    • Initial Balance High
    • Initial Balance Low
    • Mid
    • Close
    • Volume Point of Control (VPOC)
  • Overnight (only):
    • High
    • Low
    • Volume Point of Control (VPOC)
  • Previous Full Session:
    • High
    • Low
  • Previous Regular Trading Hours Session:
    • High
    • Low

Note: The VPOC will extend back only as far back as tick data is available.

RTL - Investor/RT Language

RTL is the Investor/RT Language, a formula language for composing trading signals, custom indicators, and scans. RTL is an end user language, designed to be used by those with little or no programming skills. RTL is used to write a formula. A formula may be a true/false condition, e.g. CLOSE < MA, that determines whether some condition is true or not for each bar (a signal) or the last bar (a scan). A formula may compute an arithmetic result, called a custom indicator. For example: MA ( HIGH - CLOSE ) computes a moving average of how far an instrument closes from its high. As you can see, RTL is more expressive, simpler, and easier to use than other market data languagues.
