Hi everyone,
I'm trying to get the annual dividends for a specific stock and after reading the documentation and existing code samples I can't figure out a way to get it.
public override void Initialize(BarHistory bars) {
indicator = new FundamentalRatio(bars, "Dividend", "Close", 4, 12, 100.00);
Plot(fundamental);
}
private FundamentalRatio indicator;
The backtest completes but I get an error saying "Initialize Exception (SPY) Line 477 - Specified cast is not valid". I tried several ways of specifying the numerator and denominator parameters for the FundamentalRatio indicator but no luck so far. The documentation uses "StringChoice.Dividend" and "StringChoice.Close" but have not been able to figure out how to use those.
Any help will be greatly appreciated!
Goes long at open when a security gaps down 10% and the QQQs gap down 1%. Sells at close. Since the model needs to "peek ahead" at the next bar's open price, it is not able to generate next day alerts.
Hi Glitch,
You'll be able to easily create and reload named sets of drag and dropped indicators for your charts.
Version 3 is under development. The primary drivers for Quantacula Studio version 3 are upgrading to .NET Core 3.1 from .NET Framework 4.8, and making the app 64-bit. Version 3 will install in a separate location, so you can keep version 2 running as well, but they will share historical databases and models.
We're also moving some of the more lightweight data providers such as AlphaVantage and CryptoCompare directly into Quantacula.Data so they will come out of the box instead of extensions. We'll use this forum topic to report status updates and any other important info.
In this article we'll focus on how to work with trend lines in a C# coded Quantacula Model. The Quantacula framework includes a class called TrendLine in the QuantaculaCore library that is helpful. Here we'll be using TrendLine functionality that was added as of Q194.
Quantacula Studio Q191 includes new methods in the framework to generate and work with trendlines. The new functionality is built into the utility class PeakTroughCalculator. As its name implies, PeakTroughCalculator generates a series of peaks and troughs based on TimeSeries source data, and a specified reversal type and amount.
Hi Glitch, I wanted to ask whether you have the SMI (Stochastic Momentum Index) indicator ready for QS? I have been using it for many years in Tradingview to trade the Nasdaq 100 using Lev. ETF's.
Decided to get back to this pursuit and downloaded a demo to my 64 bit Win VM. Resource monitor shows Quantacula Studio is a 32 bit process. That's surprising as I thought QS is a 64 bit app. is it really 32 bits?
This is the "Peek" model published by Merlin, to which I've added a filter for SCTR > 50 and tested on a S&P 100 universe. Adding the filter turns a terrible model (13 yr CAGR = 0%) into something worth looking at. Change the bool "useSCTR" to true/false to turn the filter on and off. This is just a demo for SCTR, not an actual model for trading. Filter works similarly on other large universes too (NASDAQ, S&P 500).
Sometimes we can focus so much on perfecting when to get into the market we neglect to put sufficient thought into when to get out of the trade. Here we'll talk about some general strategies to exit positions, and how they can be implemented in Quantacula Models.
