Hey guys,
So I have gotten the program and Pine working as I wanted it. I wrote the program on my Surface tablet, ensured everything worked, and then copied it onto my Pine. It runs during market hours and retrieves the price every minute to compute a 9, 12, and 26 minute EMA, and then it tracks the MACD and sends me texts using the Twilio client if there is a crossover or crossunder. I added the ability to choose whether I wanted to input my own stocks, or pull from a stock screener with set parameters (minimum volume, max price, how many stocks to retrieve). I believe I have finessed it to where I envisioned it with my original post; however, my values are slightly off (when comparing on a stock tracking application, like thinkorswim). Also, I have found it gets annoying if I am following a stock with little movement, as it tends to send me a text every minute. I am going to try to find other indicators/expand my time periods to see if that helps. Have had some positive, and some neutral results from the program!
