In the Worden Report for 3/7/08 Sir 9-Day Periods describes a system using simple selection criteria, but the stated criteria is nonsense (at least on my screen).  Step 1 includes:

"... stocks which meet the following simple criteria: CC3. That's it...."

CC3 has no meaning in Telechart, and it causes an error message.

In describing the system logic in step 3, the author suggests using a percent true indicator to verify probability thusly:

" ...if using percent true, just put in C>C1 and C1                 "

Again, makes no sense (even though there's no error message in using the statement).

I'm pretty sure there's some missing text in this Worden Report, maybe because of a format translation, or maybe because of my software and machine.  But I can't see the correct PCF functions the author is trying to convey.

Can someone post the correct functions so I can see them?  Or is everyone seeing the same erroneous text?

Well by golly I sure thought someone else would have asked the question before I got around to it.  And they already had, by about 2 hours, but it didn't turn up in my text searches.  So I posted the question.  Next time I'll try updating first!

*********    Anyone reading this, just go update Telechart to see Sir 9-Day Periods PCF's   ********

Thanks Diceman  --  mystery solved!

For the beginners... how does one set the chart up to be in a 9 day timeframe?  Thanks!

Move your mouse over the "daily" in the top
chart. Click and select "9 day".
 
(each open high low close will represent
9 days of data)

Is there a reason that the chart has to be set to  the 9 day interval? I'm missing that point. It seems as if even a daily chart would work.

Thats just the way he chose to do it.

If you read the links you will see that it can be daily.

" ...if using percent true, just put in C>C1 and C1 ....."
Can someone post the correct functions for the above criteria?
Thanks

cn500,
Update: Allende (Sir 9-Day) outlines his intent in his Sunday, March 09, 2008 9:58:24 AM ET post in Trying to understand syntax of today's Worden Report.

I am not going to guess at how Sir 9-Day Periods would complete the formula. The formula isn't actually used except to verify his statement that, "The probability is very high, that after the initial two 9 day periods which are down, there will not be two more 9 day periods which are down."

One way to write a formula for use in a Custom Indicator for the most recent 4-Bars being down would be:

Last 4-Periods Down:

C < C1 AND C1 < C2 AND C2 < C3 AND C3 < C4

One way to write a formula for us in a Custom Indicator for the most recent 4-Bars not being down would be:

NOT(C < C1 AND C1 < C2 AND C2 < C3 AND C3 < C4)
