How do I convert a PCF to blocks. Here's a simple one:
(AVGC5 - AVG(AVGC5,4)) / AVGC5 * 100
More complex:
Linear regression channel (LRC) 63 day period. 2 standard deviations for the up / down channel.
How do I draw it on blocks?
How do I show cross up of lower, middle and upper boundaries and cross down of upper, middle and lower bourndaries.
Thanks,
Craig.

I just shared a chart called "hicraig3 Custom Indicator" it has your "PCF" plotted using RealCode on the bottom pane.
You can draw a LR channel by using the drawing tools (pencil icon).
Let me know what you think.

The hicraig3 indicator looks great.
I guess I need to learn more about blocks. I managed to get a white screen upon on the second time that I selected the new custom indicator. Here's what I did: I had been reviewing what you had provided. I then clicked x in the upper right corner. I thought it would "x" out of the screen but it asked me if I wanted to delete it. I didn't but did want to close the window. Couldn't figure out how to close the window. Decided to go back into "Share" to go back to where I was. And then got the white screen on both the active and inactive panes. I had to shut down blocks to get the program out of non-responsive mode.
The LRC channel answer doesn't work. I"m actually looking for an indicator that I can show on the charts where I adjust the std dev to some values that I like to use. Knowing when the crosses happen helps me indicate entry and exit points. I like to be able to apply to price as well as TSV or any indicator similar to what telechart can do. Is LRC something that will be available shortly as an indicator?
Thanks,
Craig.

The LRC draw shows on the chart, you can click it and change the standard deviation width. You can also have that channel apply to all the stocks in its QuickEdit.

Hi,
I'm really new and just signed up for the trial without having seen the demo and tried to use it without any reading or background reference. Since then, I've read the Real Code manual and the Quick start. I now see a little about what Paint is. I haven't done the examples yet.
I ride a van pool to work. Is there any way to download the videos on Blocks so that I can review them outside of having an internet connection? I noticed you have webinars, are they recorded?
Before I ask more coding questions, I need the background info and try the examples provided.
So far, I really like what I'm seeing. Very nice set of indicators, chart functionality and the Real code is much easier to work through then the coding used in Telechart. It looks like I may be able to duplicate what I can do on Telechart. I really like the added functionality of lights, sorting, and flags showing when entries could have occurred. VERY NICE. Thanks also for the coding primer.
One thing I do like to do on Telechart is to add variables to the chart header area. Can I do this in Blocks?
If not on the chart itself, is there a way to display addiitonal info on the left hand display associated with each ticker.
I currently show: shares to buy, stop loss, max value over x days, min value over x days, actual value of some of my indicators, win / loss ratio. Then since I trade with 2-3 rules sets, I do the same for each rule set. It sounds like a lot but with color coding, no labels, and being able to format width, it works really well.
Thanks,
Craig.

Good questions. I'd vote for the downloadable videos!!!!!! (You once had them.)

Note the video is on your computer when your are viewing it.
I think this works
You can pause the video and then go look at the temporary internet files in IE via:
Tools->Internet Options->General Tab->Browsing History->Settings->View files
and look a swf file with an internet address something like
http://videos.blocks.com/blocks/Blocks%20Trader%20Demo%20Tour%20Dub/Blocks%20Trader%20Demo%20Tour%20Dub.swf
Right click on it and select copy
Goto to your video folder and paste
Ta da!
Now you can view the video while offline by double clicking on the swf file and selecting IE as the application to view the file.
