When Creating your own studies you can either use the pre-defined studies as part of your study or you can create it as a brand new study.
- Hover over the Studies and Filters docked toolbar button on the left side of your ProphetX window
- Left-click on User Custom and select Add New Custom Folder
- The new folder will appear at the end of the Studies folder list
Select New Custom Study
- The custom study dialog box will open
- In the Name entry type a unique name for your study – do not use any common ProphetX names that may have been used for other studies
- In the Formula area, either type your parameters or enter the syntax from one of the ProphetX pre-defined studies and modify it for your own use
The example above shows the formula to calculate a 3-2-1 Crack spread. For more information, see What Can Be Used in a Formula. - You can also define parameters to allow you to enter your own data when retrieving the study:
- The character limit for user defined functions is 512 characters.
Using Pre-defined Studies
- If combining the formula with a pre-defined study, right-click on the study name in the Standard study list on the docked pane and select Clone
- The study will be replicated at the end of the study list in the folder you cloned it from
- Right click on the cloned study and select Properties
- Edit the formula to your specifications
TIPS: Not all pre-defined studies display the parameters in the formula – this is intentional. We have specific proprietary studies that cannot be displayed to the general public.
NOTE: The character limit for user defined functions is 512 characters.
