Hello

I am wondering if there is a way to create an indicator for price candlestick that is at least 20% taller/longer than the previous 10 daily closing bars. In addition to that, I am wanting an accompanying indicator for volume candlestick that is at least 200% taller/longer than the previous 10 daily volume bars.

What I would really like now is whenever the price and volume candles meet those indicator criterias on the same day, I can then set an alert.

A recent example of the type of chart and indicator I am looking for would be the daily on $MNGA on Jan 8/2014 or yesterday's price/volume action on March 17/2014

Thanks

Plese try the following Condition Formula:

V >= 2 * MAXV10.1 AND H - L >= 1.2 * (H1 - L1) AND H - L >= 1.2 * (H2 - L2) AND H - L >= 1.2 * (H3 - L3) AND H - L >= 1.2 * (H4 - L4) AND H - L >= 1.2 * (H5 - L5) AND H - L >= 1.2 * (H6 - L6) AND H - L >= 1.2 * (H7 - L7) AND H - L >= 1.2 * (H8 - L8) AND H - L >= 1.2 * (H9 - L9) AND H - L >= 1.2 * (H10 - L10) AND V > 0 AND H > L

Hi Bruce. If I wanted to scan for the same  condition, however, now showing me charts of those that met the  scan criteria on the daily 1 day ago, would that be possible?

Please try the following Condition Formula:

V1 >= 2 * MAXV10.2 AND H1 - L1 >= 1.2 * (H2 - L2) AND H1 - L1 >= 1.2 * (H3 - L3) AND H1 - L1 >= 1.2 * (H4 - L4) AND H1 - L1 >= 1.2 * (H5 - L5) AND H1 - L1 >= 1.2 * (H6 - L6) AND H1 - L1 >= 1.2 * (H7 - L7) AND H1 - L1 >= 1.2 * (H8 - L8) AND H1 - L1 >= 1.2 * (H9 - L9) AND H1 - L1 >= 1.2 * (H10 - L10) AND H1 - L1 >= 1.2 * (H11 - L11) AND V1 > 0 AND H1 > L1

Hi Bruce

I am now looking for a condition formula showing me charts of those meeting the condition below for 1 candle or day ago

ABS((H + L) / 2 - C1) + (H - L) / 2 >= 3.0 * SQR(ABS(C1 ^ 2 + C2 ^ 2 + C3 ^ 2 + C4 ^ 2 + C5 ^ 2 + C6 ^ 2 + C7 ^ 2 + C8 ^ 2 + C9 ^ 2 + C10 ^ 2 + C11 ^ 2 + C12 ^ 2 + C13 ^ 2 + C14 ^ 2 + C15 ^ 2 + C16 ^ 2 + C17 ^ 2 + C18 ^ 2 + C19 ^ 2 + C20 ^ 2 - 20 * AVGC20.1 ^ 2) / 20)

Thanks

Please try the following Condition Formula:

ABS((H1 + L1) / 2 - C2) + (H1 - L1) / 2 >= 3.0 * SQR(ABS(C2 ^ 2 + C3 ^ 2 + C4 ^ 2 + C5 ^ 2 + C6 ^ 2 + C7 ^ 2 + C8 ^ 2 + C9 ^ 2 + C10 ^ 2 + C11 ^ 2 + C12 ^ 2 + C13 ^ 2 + C14 ^ 2 + C15 ^ 2 + C16 ^ 2 + C17 ^ 2 + C18 ^ 2 + C19 ^ 2 + C20 ^ 2 + C21 ^ 2 - 20 * AVGC20.2 ^ 2) / 20)

Hi Bruce..

Now if I wanted to scan throughout the day for stocks that met this condition on the opening intraday candle (2 min and 10 min), would it be possible to set up a condition formula like that?

Thank you

No, it would not. There is no way to determine the start of day, end of day, time of day or bar of day in an intraday Personal Criteria Formula.

Hi Bruce

In that case would you be able to show me how to write the formula for 39 bars ago for this condition

V >= 2 * MAXV10.1 AND H - L >= 1.2 * (H1 - L1) AND H - L >= 1.2 * (H2 - L2) AND H - L >= 1.2 * (H3 - L3) AND H - L >= 1.2 * (H4 - L4) AND H - L >= 1.2 * (H5 - L5) AND H - L >= 1.2 * (H6 - L6) AND H - L >= 1.2 * (H7 - L7) AND H - L >= 1.2 * (H8 - L8) AND H - L >= 1.2 * (H9 - L9) AND H - L >= 1.2 * (H10 - L10) AND V > 0 AND H > L

many thanks

Adding 39 to all of the bars ago parameters results in the following Condition Formula:

V39 >= 2 * MAXV10.40 AND H39 - L39 >= 1.2 * (H40 - L40) AND H39 - L39 >= 1.2 * (H41 - L41) AND H39 - L39 >= 1.2 * (H42 - L42) AND H39 - L39 >= 1.2 * (H43 - L43) AND H39 - L39 >= 1.2 * (H44 - L44) AND H39 - L39 >= 1.2 * (H45 - L45) AND H39 - L39 >= 1.2 * (H46 - L46) AND H39 - L39 >= 1.2 * (H47 - L47) AND H39 - L39 >= 1.2 * (H48 - L48) AND H39 - L39 >= 1.2 * (H49 - L49) AND V39 > 0 AND H39 > L39
