hello,
In the "Worden report" last friday, june 23 was a PCF for a stop loss by: volatility 5 day by %.
I didn't get a %, like 2.3% what did I do wrong?
(H+H1+H2+H3+H4-L1-L2-L3-L4)/0.025/H-L)
thanks,
dwm4554

We cannot say exactly how the PCF is supposed to be used.

You can email the author via support@worden.com

Please send you message to support and ask them to forward it for you.

dwm4554,

The PCF in the Report is:

(H+H1+H2+H3+H4-L-L1-L2-L3-L4)/0.025/(H-L)

rather than what you have.

There is obviously a typo and it was intended to be:

(H+H1+H2+H3+H4-L-L1-L2-L3-L4)/0.025/(H+L)

This is the average range over 5 days as a percentage of the average price today. It is probably a little more recognizable in the form:

100*(AVGH5-AVGL5)/((H+L)/2)

Thanks,
Jim Murphy

"(H+H1+H2+H3+H4-L1-L2-L3-L4)/5"

is the average range over five days.


It can be written more simply:

AVGH5-AVGL5


Thanks

dwm4554,

What is in the Report is:

(H+H1+H2+H3+H4-L-L1-L2-L3-L4)/5

rather than what you have. It can be written more compactly as:

AVGH5-AVGL5

as pointed out by diceman.

Thanks,
Jim Murphy

Hi support,
I've been trying to create the custom price channel re Sir Risk- Adjuster, it tests ok, and looks fine on the screen, but when I move to another F# and return to the one I did the custom price channel on,it's no longer there? I can't find anywhere to save it?
Any help you could offer would be most welcome,thanks.

You have to be sure you SAVE your template once you place the indicator.
