Dear Trainers,Can you help me to write a pcf that measures the slope of the RSI.setting for rsi is RSI14.3 and time interval is 3 month (63 days)I am trying to create a scan which i can find stocks that go down in price while RSI is going up (for the past 3 months)i think i know how to write the PCF for stock price: (C/C63)*100But i could not figure out how to write the PCF for the slope of RSI.Thank you

Based on your RSI settings, I'm going to assume you are using TC2000 version 7.

If it is a Simple RSI13.3 without Wilder's Smoothing, I would subtract the previous RSI value from the current RSI value as it is already exressed on a scale running from 0 to 100:

RSI13.3 - RSI13.3.63

Any other RSI settings would change the formula (if the RSI is Exponential):

XAVG(RSI13,3) - XAVG(RSI13.1.63,3)

Or make the resulting formula too longe to be practical (if Wilder's Smoothing is checked).

Dear Bruce,I have tried using RSI13.3 - RSI13.3.63 for my scan.however, it didnt give me the result i was looking foris there another way to write a pcf that calculate the slope of RSI?thanksjames

You can cover the same period of time with a 64-Period Linear Regression Slope of Price:

(31.5 * C + 30.5 * C1 + 29.5 * C2 + 28.5 * C3 + 27.5 * C4 + 26.5 * C5 + 25.5 * C6 + 24.5 * C7 + 23.5 * C8 + 22.5 * C9 + 21.5 * C10 + 20.5 * C11 + 19.5 * C12 + 18.5 * C13 + 17.5 * C14 + 16.5 * C15 + 15.5 * C16 + 14.5 * C17 + 13.5 * C18 + 12.5 * C19 + 11.5 * C20 + 10.5 * C21 + 9.5 * C22 + 8.5 * C23 + 7.5 * C24 + 6.5 * C25 + 5.5 * C26 + 4.5 * C27 + 3.5 * C28 + 2.5 * C29 + 1.5 * C30 + .5 * C31 - .5 * C32 - 1.5 * C33 - 2.5 * C34 - 3.5 * C35 - 4.5 * C36 - 5.5 * C37 - 6.5 * C38 - 7.5 * C39 - 8.5 * C40 - 9.5 * C41 - 10.5 * C42 - 11.5 * C43 - 12.5 * C44 - 13.5 * C45 - 14.5 * C46 - 15.5 * C47 - 16.5 * C48 - 17.5 * C49 - 18.5 * C50 - 19.5 * C51 - 20.5 * C52 - 21.5 * C53 - 22.5 * C54 - 23.5 * C55 - 24.5 * C56 - 25.5 * C57 - 26.5 * C58 - 27.5 * C59 - 28.5 * C60 - 29.5 * C61 - 30.5 * C62 - 31.5 * C63) / 21840

And a 64-Period Linear Regression Slope of Simple RSI13,3 without RSI Smoothing:

(31.5 * RSI13.3 + 30.5 * RSI13.3.1 + 29.5 * RSI13.3.2 + 28.5 * RSI13.3.3 + 27.5 * RSI13.3.4 + 26.5 * RSI13.3.5 + 25.5 * RSI13.3.6 + 24.5 * RSI13.3.7 + 23.5 * RSI13.3.8 + 22.5 * RSI13.3.9 + 21.5 * RSI13.3.10 + 20.5 * RSI13.3.11 + 19.5 * RSI13.3.12 + 18.5 * RSI13.3.13 + 17.5 * RSI13.3.14 + 16.5 * RSI13.3.15 + 15.5 * RSI13.3.16 + 14.5 * RSI13.3.17 + 13.5 * RSI13.3.18 + 12.5 * RSI13.3.19 + 11.5 * RSI13.3.20 + 10.5 * RSI13.3.21 + 9.5 * RSI13.3.22 + 8.5 * RSI13.3.23 + 7.5 * RSI13.3.24 + 6.5 * RSI13.3.25 + 5.5 * RSI13.3.26 + 4.5 * RSI13.3.27 + 3.5 * RSI13.3.28 + 2.5 * RSI13.3.29 + 1.5 * RSI13.3.30 + .5 * RSI13.3.31 - .5 * RSI13.3.32 - 1.5 * RSI13.3.33 - 2.5 * RSI13.3.34 - 3.5 * RSI13.3.35 - 4.5 * RSI13.3.36 - 5.5 * RSI13.3.37 - 6.5 * RSI13.3.38 - 7.5 * RSI13.3.39 - 8.5 * RSI13.3.40 - 9.5 * RSI13.3.41 - 10.5 * RSI13.3.42 - 11.5 * RSI13.3.43 - 12.5 * RSI13.3.44 - 13.5 * RSI13.3.45 - 14.5 * RSI13.3.46 - 15.5 * RSI13.3.47 - 16.5 * RSI13.3.48 - 17.5 * RSI13.3.49 - 18.5 * RSI13.3.50 - 19.5 * RSI13.3.51 - 20.5 * RSI13.3.52 - 21.5 * RSI13.3.53 - 22.5 * RSI13.3.54 - 23.5 * RSI13.3.55 - 24.5 * RSI13.3.56 - 25.5 * RSI13.3.57 - 26.5 * RSI13.3.58 - 27.5 * RSI13.3.59 - 28.5 * RSI13.3.60 - 29.5 * RSI13.3.61 - 30.5 * RSI13.3.62 - 31.5 * RSI13.3.63) / 21840

But you haven't explained what specifically you didn't like about the previous result. It should be noted that if you are using an Exponential RSI and/or an RSI with Wilder's Smoothing, the RSI13.3 - RSI13.3.63 formula would not work (and neither would the Linear Regression Slope formula.

As long as you are using a Simple RSI with no Wilder's Smoothing, both RSI formulas should work. If they don't do what you want, I will need additional clarification from you as what you them to do that they aren't doing currently.
