A 3-bar set-up
Bar 1 - Red bar
Bar 2 - Red bar with a lower low than the previous bar and higher volume than the previous bar
Bar 3 - Green bar with a higher low than the previous bar
AND (mandatory)
- the RSI(2) is less than 5 and it is associated with 1 of the 3 bars in the set-up.

Is this correct?
H3<H4 AND L3>L4 AND H2>H3 AND L2>L3 AND V2>V3 AND L1>L2 AND RSI2<5

The candlesticks in TeleChart combine color and body type to provide both Close versus Open and Close versus yesterday's Close information in the same candle (if Plot down days in a different color is selected).

C > O Hollow
C < O Solid
C > C1 Green
C <= C1 Red

So:

QUOTE (Quiktdr)
A 3-bar set-up
Bar 1 - Red bar

C2 <= C3

QUOTE (Quiktdr)
Bar 2 - Red bar with a lower low than the previous bar and higher volume than the previous bar

C1 <= C2 AND L1 < L2 AND V1 > V2

QUOTE (Quiktdr)
Bar 3 - Green bar with a higher low than the previous bar
AND (mandatory) - the RSI(2) is less than 5

Unsmoothed RSI:

C > C1 AND L > L1 AND RSI2 < 5

Putting this together results in the following:

C2 <= C3 AND C1 <= C2 AND L1 < L2 AND V1 > V2 AND C > C1 AND L > L1 AND RSI2 < 5

QUOTE (Quiktdr)
and it is associated with 1 of the 3 bars in the set-up.

I don't understand this portion of the question.

That was just a note.

Thank you!

You're welcome. Please let me know if it does not work (the most likely reason would be a Wilder's Smoothed RSI instead of an unsmoothed RSI).

I was just going to write you back. Let's try a Wilder's Smoothed RSI.

Please try the following instead (I've also added in an AND L > L1 both here and above):

C2 <= C3 AND C1 <= C2 AND L1 < L2 AND V1 > V2 AND C > C1 AND L > L1 AND 100 * ((C > C1) * (C1 - C) + .5 * ((C1 > C2) * (C2 - C1) + .5 * ((C2 > C3) * (C3 - C2) + .5 * ((C3 > C4) * (C4 - C3) + .5 * ((C4 > C5) * (C5 - C4) + .5 * ((C5 > C6) * (C6 - C5) + .5 * ((C6 > C7) * (C7 - C6) + .5 * ((C7 > C8) * (C8 - C7) + .5 * ((C8 > C9) * (C9 - C8) + .5 * ((C9 > C10) * (C10 - C9) + .5 * ((C10 > C11) * (C11 - C10) + .5 * ((C11 > C12) * (C12 - C11) + .5 * ((C12 > C13) * (C13 - C12) + .5 * ((C13 > C14) * (C14 - C13))))))))))))))) / (ABS(C - C1) + .5 * (ABS(C1 - C2) + .5 * (ABS(C2 - C3) + .5 * (ABS(C3 - C4) + .5 * (ABS(C4 - C5) + .5 * (ABS(C5 - C6) + .5 * (ABS(C6 - C7) + .5 * (ABS(C7 - C8) + .5 * (ABS(C8 - C9) + .5 * (ABS(C9 - C10) + .5 * (ABS(C10 - C11) + .5 * (ABS(C11 - C12) + .5 * (ABS(C12 - C13) + .5 * (ABS(C13 - C14))))))))))))))) < 5

Hi,

I was suggested to use the following pcf for scans:

"First, I want the stock to be up for the day (Price Percent Change today, 0.01 to Max), the stock to be trading above the 50 dma (C > AVGC50), the 50 dma to be above the 200 dma (AVGC50 > AVGC200).

Second, I want the volume to be at least 1.5x the 50 day volume average (V > 1.5 * AVGV50). On one scan I have stocks that have to avg. 100k shares a day for the past 50 days (AVG50 >= 1000). On a seperate one I have one that trades avg. 20k to 100k (more speculative, wider spreads) (AVGV50 >= 200 AND AVGV50 <= 1000)."

I tried to do it and it was confusing for me. can somebody help me please?

C > C1 AND C > AVGC50 AND AVGC50 > AVGC200 AND V > 1.5 * AVGV50

This is what i have saved as the PCF.

i am still getting stocks with 50 dma under the 200 dma.

what should i do?

BHCO101,
The PCF appears to be correct and I'm not experiencing either issue. Please provide examples of symbols returning True that do not meet the conditions of the Personal Criteria Formula. You may wish to review the following:

BHCO101,
When updated through 03/08/2007 Market Close, neither PLCE nor MMR return True for C > C1 AND C > AVGC50 AND AVGC50 > AVGC200 AND V > 1.5 * AVGV50 on my system.
When updated through 03/09/2007 11:00 AM ET (Data delayed at least 20 minutes), neither PLCE nor MMR return True for C > C1 AND C > AVGC50 AND AVGC50 > AVGC200 AND V > 1.5 * AVGV50 on my system.

How are you determining that the Personal Criteria Formula is returning True? Are you viewing the results in a Watchlist Column? Are you using the PCF as an EasyScan Condition?

I don't think the PCF is returning true.

I think i am viewing the results in a watchlist column

I think i am using the PCF as an easyscan condition.

I dont know, how the heck am i supposed to know all this in one day???

I'm sorry, this is just so confusing. and no technical support over the phone just makes it more frustrating for me.

BHCO101,
I guess I'm really not just understanding the issue. If you don't think the Personal Criteria Formula is returning True for either PLCE or MMR, why did you give them as examples of symbols with a problem? Can you describe how TeleChart is not working as expected?

The best place to start learning about TeleChart is the following topic:
