Best Practices As with many programming languages, BullScript can be used well or poorly. When writing your own scripts, we advise that you endeavour to write them in a clean, clear fashion for several reasons: Your scripts will be easier to understand by others. You will be more able to […]

Learning BullScript BullScript: General Functions BullScript: Mathematical Functions BullScript: Candle Pattern Functions BullScript: Pattern Recognition Functions BullScript: Date and Time Functions BullScript: Highest/Lowest Functions BullScript: Indicator Functions BullScript: Text Functions BullScript: Trade Functions BullScript: Attribute Reference  

Attribute Reference The following pages list the attributes that are built into BullScript. Attributes are used to provide additional information about how your BullScript should be applied. Attributes Using Attributes BullScript allow you to specify the way you want the results of a script to be displayed within the script […]

EntryTrigger Usage EntryTrigger Description The EntryTrigger keyword is only available in a few specific areas of the TradeSim scans. Specifically it can be used in any BullScript that is part of the Exit tab or the general tab. EntryPrice returns true on days when the criteria on the entry tab […]

Left Usage LEFT(TEXT,N) text Some text, such as a company name n The number of characters to return. Description Returns the n left most characters of text. If n is larger than the number of characters in text then text is returned. Remarks The text functions work with text data, […]

Indicator Functions This section describes many of the indicator functions that can be used in BullScript. Many of these indicators are written in BullScript themselves, and use the alias attribute to make themselves available to other scripts. Accumulation Swing Index Usage ASWING(LIMITMOVE) limitmove Limit on movement. Description Calculates the accumulation […]

Highest/Lowest Functions This section lists functions specifically designed to identify the highest and lowest bar in a range. Highest Usage HIGHEST(EXPR[,N]) HHV(EXPR[,N]) expr The expression being evaluated. n The number of bars over which expr is evaluated. Description Returns the highest (numerically largest) value expr has assumed over the last […]

Date and Time Functions This section explains how to work with functions that operate on dates and times. Functions include the ability to input a date as a parameter, and extract certain parts of the date, such as month. Date Usage DATE(YEAR,[MONTH,[DAY,[HOUR,[MINUTE,[SECOND]]]]]) year The year as a 4 digit number. […]

Pattern Recognition Functions This section lists functions used to identify simple patterns such as gaps and crossovers. Also refer to the candle patterns section for candle specific functions. Cross Usage CROSS(EXPR1,EXPR2) expr1 First data source for testing crosses. expr1 Second data source for testing crosses. Description If expr1 crosses above […]

Candle Pattern Functions This section describes a number of functions built into BullScript designed to identify candle patterns. Unless otherwise stated, each function returns true if the pattern is completed on the current bar. It is important to realize that all of our reversal candle patterns must be preceded by […]
