Topic: Conflicting Results Posted: Wednesday, April 22, 2015 11:47:36 AM Hi I am searching for a pullback with the following PCF: (100 * (C - C21) / C21) >= 20 AND (100 * (C - C5) / C5) = (-15) AND (100 * (C - C1) / C1)

Hi:

I posted this request back in Aprl and have not heard any response on it. Any Ideas?

William.

I did get the PCF to work by droppin the "100 *" and adjusting the corresponding values..

Howver, it would be nice to knw why this happens to avoid in future PCFs

The last two times that this formula returned True on GTE.TO was 4/23/15 and 5/8/2015. If you plot that formula as a custom PCF % true indicator you can see on the chart where it passed.

Thank You, Adminisration

 

I have an other question concerning Canadian data. I realize that Canadian data is streamed and are delayed by 15 minutes (no mater what time-frame used) .

However, over the past weekend (Sunday) I noticed that the EOD quotes on my Canadian Watchlists were up todate ( i.e., they were the same as my TD online brokerage quotes) BUT the "Bar last" quote on the TC2000 Charts did NOT agree in many cases. e.g. SSO.TO

Does this mean that on the Charts the EOD numbers, are really the delayed quotes as of 3:45 PM?

If this is the case, it is very misleading and ask that on behalf of all your Canadian customers that this be corrected ASAP.

Thank You,

William

No, we had an issue with the daily closing prices for Canadian stocks on Friday. This has been corrected and should not be a problem going forward.

I would appreciate any help in finding the Heiken-Ashi translation for a doji. Are there any sources that translate other candles into HA code ?

A formula for the Open of TC2000 version 12's Heiken-Ashi candles would be:

(XAVGO3.1 + XAVGH3.1 + XAVGL3.1 + XAVGC3.1) / 4

A formula for the High of TC2000 version 12's Heiken-Ashi candles would be:

1

A formula for the Low of TC2000 version 12's Heiken-Ashi candles would be:

(L + (XAVGO3.1 + XAVGH3.1 + XAVGL3.1 + XAVGC3.1) / 4 - ABS(L - (XAVGO3.1 + XAVGH3.1 + XAVGL3.1 + XAVGC3.1) / 4)) / 2

A formula for the Close of TC2000 version 12's Heiken-Ashi candles would be:

(O + H + L + C) / 4

The normal Condition Formula for a true doji with normal candlesticks where the open and close must be exactly the same could be written as follows.

O = C

So the formula for a true doji where the open and close are exactly the same could be written as follows.

(XAVGO3.1 + XAVGH3.1 + XAVGL3.1 + XAVGC3.1) / 4 = (O + H + L + C) / 4

Or as the slightly shorter format below.

XAVGO3.1 + XAVGH3.1 + XAVGL3.1 + XAVGC3.1 = O + H + L + C

But this is almost never going to be true for an actively trading stock. What you probably need to do is check for a near doji where the open and close are just very close together.

The following Condition Formula checks for a near doji where the open and close are less than 10% of the total range of the candle of each other using normal candlesticks.

ABS(O - C) < .1 * (H - L)

To convert this we would again substitute the Heiken-Ashi values.

ABS((XAVGO3.1 + XAVGH3.1 + XAVGL3.1 + XAVGC3.1) / 4 - (O + H + L + C) / 4) < .1 * ((H + (XAVGO3.1 + XAVGH3.1 + XAVGL3.1 + XAVGC3.1) / 4 + ABS(H - (XAVGO3.1 + XAVGH3.1 + XAVGL3.1 + XAVGC3.1) / 4)) / 2 - (L + (XAVGO3.1 + XAVGH3.1 + XAVGL3.1 + XAVGC3.1) / 4 - ABS(L - (XAVGO3.1 + XAVGH3.1 + XAVGL3.1 + XAVGC3.1) / 4)) / 2)

Which could be shortened slightly to the following.

20 * ABS(XAVGO3.1 + XAVGH3.1 + XAVGL3.1 + XAVGC3.1 - O - H - L - C) < 4 * (H - L) + ABS(4 * H - XAVGO3.1 - XAVGH3.1 - XAVGL3.1 - XAVGC3.1) + ABS(4 * L - XAVGO3.1 - XAVGH3.1 - XAVGL3.1 - XAVGC3.1)

Constructing formulas for other candlestick patterns would involve making similar substitutions in other candlestick pattern formulas designed for normal candlesticks.
