Arg!! Please ignore my last message and all the statistics. I just discovered that my charts were set up for a simple TSV39 and a simple 10ma. After I removed all the "X"s from the PCF, it worked perfectly. My appologies...but I'm glad I figured it out, and the next time I have a similar problem the first place I'll look for a solution will at the exponentials and the simples.

Thanks for the PCF, it's much better than the one I had. By that I mean that it is about 50% accurate, whereas mine was about 10%. I used the one with the exponential TSV39 and the simple 10ma. Here's what happened when I ran it today, on Friday's closing prices:
There were 31 stocks named by the scan.
1. 15 of them complied with both conditions of the scan (the TSV39 crossover and also staying below it's 10sma for the 10 previous days).
2. But there were 11 that hadn't crossed over yet and weren't even touching the TSV39 10sma. Still, they complied with the second condition (10 days below the TSV39 10sma).
3. There were also 5 stocks that didn't comply with either of the conditions. They hadn't crossed over and showed between 3-7 days below the 10sma.
4. And there was one of these stocks that had crossed over 3 days ago(on Tuesday) but at that point the TSV39 had only been below it's 10sma for 3 days.
Well, this is confusing. I'm real happy to have 15 stocks show up with accurate results but I'm puzzled about the others. Why were they picked? Is there a setting somewhere in Telechart that can be tweaked? Is there something I'm missing here?

Telechart has two indicators that show the % stocks above the 200 and the 40 pma (what's pma?). I'd like to write an indicator that shows the % stocks above the 10 day ma (or pma?). Could you show me how to write the formula that would count the number of stocks/symbols above a certain moving average( or any indicator) and allow me to chart the results.
Thanks, John

Guess what, I just checked the Telechart charts closely and discovered that the current day date was 10-30-09. I closed out the program and started it again and the date corrected itself to 1-06-10. And so did the results of the scan, which now match what I wanted to see on the screen.
So, false alarm. Sorry about that.

I'm trying to write a simple TSV pcf that picks stocks where the TSV20 is crossing the zero line. The formula I've written is giving me lists of stocks where the TSV20 is nowhere near crossing the zero line.
Here's what I've written:
TSV20.1 < 0 AND TSV20 > 0
I'm trying to match the results with a chart that has the 20 bar TSV, simple average type. Could you show me the correct way to do this.
Thanks, John

I have a formula for AVGC9 < XAVGC40 for 40 days then crosses. It works fine. I just tried to increase the 40 days to 60 days. I copied the 40 day formula to a text editor and added the extra lines to make it 60 days. It had no visible mistakes. When I copied it into the Telechart PCF editor and tried to test it, I got the "error in formula syntax" error. I redid the formula two times and also separated out the 40 to 60 day part and tried each of these in the PCF editor...each time I got the syntax error message.
I then went to the working 40 day formula and, inside the PCF editor, added the lines to make it a 60 day formula, but I stopped at each new 5 day mark and tested it. It tested ok. Then I tested the complete 60 day formula and it tested ok. So I then had Telechart "calculate" the formula so I could use it. The "calculate" process stopped when it found "syntax errors" in this formula. I went back into the PCF formula editor and tried the "test" again. This time is failed with the "error in formula syntax" message.
How can the formula pass the test once, and then fail it after the attempted calculate. I've checked the entire formula letter by letter and there is nothing obviously wrong. Below is the formula as copied from the PCF formula editor. I hope someone can shed some light on this for me...

AVGC9.58 <= XAVGC40.58 AND
AVGC9.59 <= XAVGX40.59 AND
AVGC9.60 <= XAVGC40.60
Just to repeat myself, the first 40 days of this formula work fine and I've been using that PCF for weeks. The problem only arose when I tried to add another 20 days to it.

I'd like to take a Telechart watchlist and export all the stock symbols in it to another program. I tried using a screen capture (Snagit 6-text capture) but it wouldn't work. All I need is a text file and I can import it into this other program. Is there a way to do this?
