I am new to TC2000 and have been trying to write the formulas for the above mentioned indicators. There are 2 indicators that make up this particular indicator. The first is "Bull Power" and the second is "Bear Power." The formula I have for Bull Power is:Price high of the today-EMA. The formula for Bear Power is:Price low of the today-EMA. I would like to use an 11 day EMA. Any help that I receive would be much appreciated.

Here is what I found:

QUOTE
Dr Elder uses a 13-day exponential moving average (EMA) to indicate the market consensus of value. Bull Power measures the ability of buyers to drive prices above the consensus of value. Bear Power reflects the ability of sellers to drive prices below the average consensus of value.

Bull Power is calculated by subtracting the 13-day EMA from the day's High. Bear power subtracts the 13-day EMA from the day's Low.


Plot a 11 period exponential moving average on price

The Bull and Bear are two seperate custom indicators. Both should have the Center Line option checked:

Bull: H-XAVGC11
Bear: L-XAVGC11

Any way we can make a cutom formula such as Dr. Elder's Elder Ray into a histogam?

Custom Indicators plot as Indicator Lines and there is not currently a way to change this plot to a Histogram.

Hello Craig,
I have been to Elder's seminars and he writes an impulse system. Is there a way to write it into a formula from the TC2005 platform?

As regards Dr. Elders "Elder Ray," I'm trying to write a PCF that will find stocks that show the Bull Power (H-XAVGC11) above the "zero" line and rising. And then a second PCF that will show Bear Power (L-XAVGC11) below the "zero" line and falling.

How does one tell the formula you are looking for a center line?

Thanks.

Watch this video to learn how to plot these (or any custom indicators).

Plotting Custom Indicators with Examples

You can also use either as a PCF to scan for.... you can use the range selector to limit their values above or below zero.

Thanks, but those videos (I've seen them some time ago), do not answer my question.

I'm aware that I can create a custom indicator based on my formula and include a "center zero line" option that will force the results above or below the zero line.

What I am looking for is to create a PCF that will look for that formula and "include the condition" of it being above or below the center zero line.

Reviewing the 2nd and 3rd items Craig mentioned in his Wednesday, December 28, 2005 11:35:44 PM and following his instructions to just use the Personal Criteria Formulas you already provided and adjust the Rangefinder in the EasyScan to limit the ranges to either above or below zero would "include the condition" of it being above or below the center zero line in the EasyScan. However, if you wish the conditions to be part of the PCFs instead, you may wish to try the following Boolean PCFs:

Bull Power Above Zero and Rising:
H - XAVGC11 > 0 AND H - XAVGC11 > H1 - XAVGC11.1

Bear Power Below Zero and Falling:
L - XAVGC11 < 0 AND L - XAVGC11 < L1 - XAVGC11.1

You may also wish to review the following in addition to the items Craig already mentioned:

The formula language used to plot custom indicators is the same syntax for the PCF language.
