The excellent webinar with Larry Connors used the RSI with a period of 2.  Mr Worden said this could be calculated in Telechart but I have not been able to do that.  Could you explain how to so that and be able to search for stocks that are below 2 and above 98.  Thank you.

The following formula:

PCF Formula Descriptions

RSI2

Is designed to match a Wilder's RSI with the following settings:

- RSI Period: 2
- Use Wilders Smoothing: Unchecked
- Avg Period: 1
- Average Type: Doesn't matter (because the Avg Period is 1)

While the following formula Is designed to match a Wilder's RSI with the following settings instead (the difference is that Use Wilders Smoothing is Checked):

- RSI Period: 2
- Use Wilders Smoothing: Checked
- Avg Period: 1
- Average Type: Doesn't matter (because the Avg Period is 1)

You could add < 2 to the end of the appropriate formula to find symbols where the 2-Period RSI is less than 2 or add > 98 to the end to find symbols where it as above 98 instead.

Worked like a charm.  I would have been an old man before I found that one.  Thank you.

hklala,
In general, formulas with Wilder's Smoothing and an Average Period besides 1 are too long to be practical. Because both the RSI Period and Average Period are short however, you might want to try the following:
