Hi,

I am looking into developing the Chart Pattern Indicator in TC which I could plot according to the rules on Bulkowski Chart Patterin Indicator page. (Please see http://thepatternsite.com/CPI.html#AADB0, subtitle "Background")

He says he scans for a breakout of his NR7 pattern (which is only a scan for the narrowest range of 7 days) and then performs some counting based on this. I have a basic NR7 PCF formula down, which is the following:

H - L < H1 - L1 AND H - L < H2 - L2 AND H - L < H3 - L3 AND H - L < H4 - L4 AND H - L < H5 - L5 AND H - L < H6 - L6 AND H - L < H7 - L7

This produces TRUE if the stock is NR7 today.

I need some help producing the indicator please. If you look at his results (http://thepatternsite.com/CPI.html#AADB2), apparently it is a good indicator. Any contribution is greatly appreciated,

thanks,
NY

If I'm understanding the Indicator correctly, I cannot think of a practical automated method of calculating the Indicator within TeleChart (but you could use the TeleChart data in Patternz).

Thank you for your reply.

Based on your knowledge, do you think you could construct it in StockFinder though?

Yes, I probably could construct in StockFinder. That said, the resulting Indicator should never be used for backtesting as it uses future data.

I'm not a programmer, so it's also something that is going to take me a decent amount of time to write (long enough that it's only going to get worked on between answering other questions). I also already have another project in this category that came first (In Channel Since NH) that will get higher priority as a result.

I appreciate your time spent on this project. Please let me know of any news, I'll try to produce some code too in Stockfinder to see how far I can advance, and will post here if anything develops.

I'll certainly let you know when I'm done or if I encounter any unexpected difficulties along the way.
