The PCF Formula Descriptions topic lists all of the syntax which is valid in the Personal Criteria Formula Language and the Handy PCF example formulas to help you learn the syntax of PCFs! topic has basic examples of this syntax in use.

I'm not sure how useful it will be to anybody else, but the Personal Criteria Formulas topic has links to topics I personally use relatively frequently.

I was reviewing a previous post and saw Sir Oversold´formula for , I would like to help me in its interpretaton since i do not understad your content:

L<((2,95*MINL15.7)-MAXH7.3)  / 2 AND STOC50.3 < 10 AND L< L1

H>((3.05* MAX H15.7)- MINL7.3) / 2 AND H> H1AND STOC50.3 > 50 AND TSV3 < TSV8

The first formula is built using the , as the decimal marker. This is not standard practice in the United States and the formula is not fully compatible with TC2000.

It is checking for the low of the current bar to be below 2.95 times the lowest low in the 15 bars ending 7 bars ago minus the highest high of the 7 bars ending 3 bars ago with the entire thing being divided by two. It also requires the simple stochastic 50,3 %K to be below 10 and the low of the current bar to be below the low of the previous bar.

The second formula uses the . as a decimal marker, but has a space in MAXH15.7 which will probably cause an error message or mis-calculation of the formula.

It is checking for the high of the current bar to be above 3.05 times the highest high in the 15 bars ending 7 bars ago minus the lowest low in the 7 bars ending 3 bars ago with the entire thing being divided by two. It also requires the high of the current bar to be above the high of the previous bar, the simple stochastic 50,3 %K to be above 50 and simple TSV3 to be below simple TSV8.

Please i could explaind in detail the following formula for the post 52875:

 It is checking for the low of the current bar to be bellow 2,95 times the lowest low in the 15 ending bars 7 bars ago.

Thanks for your time.

Well the formula continues beyond that, but just that portion would be (I'm using a period for the decimal marker because I live in the US, you will probably want to use a comma instead):

L < 2.95 * MINL15.7

So this is checking for the low of the current bar (L) being less than a value.

The value the low of the current bar needs to be below is taking 7 bars ago, 8 bars ago, 9 bars ago, 10 bars ago, 11 bars ago, 12 bars ago, 13 bars ago, 14 bars ago, 15 bars ago, 16 bars ago, 17 bars ago, 18 bars ago, 19 bars ago, 20 bars ago and 21 bars ago and getting the lowest low from those bars. This low is multiplied by 2.95 before being compared to the low of the current bar.

Thank you, it's very clear.
Another doubt on the second part of the formula:
Can you clarify this? "it  also requires the simple stochastic 50.3 %K to be below 10, and the low of the current bar to be below the low of the previous bar."

You may want to take a look at the following.

Understanding Stochastics

But the raw stochastic is where price is as a percentage of its range over its period. So STOC50 is checking where price is compared to its overall range over the most recent 50 bars. The %K of 3 is a 3-period simple moving average of the raw stochastic calculations.

I'm sure there is a better way to say that it is checking for the "low of the current bar to be below the low of the previous bar", but I can't think of anything. Look at the last two bars on the chart. Is the low of the last bar lower than the low of the second to last bar? If so, it would meet that part of the requirements.

Please if your can tell me which is the formula to establish :RSI of 14 periods where prices are lower or equal to 16 % of the RSI (oversold).

And the (overbought) : RSI 14 periods where prices are higher or equal to 86 % of the RSI.

 

Thanks for attention.

If Use Wilder's Smoothing is not checked then at or below 16 can be written as follows.

RSI14 <= 16

And at or above 86 can be written as follows.

RSI14 >= 86

The formula is a lot longer if Use Wilder's Smoothing is checked. The at or below 16 version becomes the following.

50 * (C - XAVGC27.1) / 14 / (.071435345 * (ABS(C - C1) + 13 / 14 * (ABS(C1 - C2) + 13 / 14 * (ABS(C2 - C3) + 13 / 14 * (ABS(C3 - C4) + 13 / 14 * (ABS(C4 - C5) + 13 / 14 * (ABS(C5 - C6) + 13 / 14 * (ABS(C6 - C7) + 13 / 14 * (ABS(C7 - C8) + 13 / 14 * (ABS(C8 - C9) + 13 / 14 * (ABS(C9 - C10) + 13 / 14 * (ABS(C10 - C11) + 13 / 14 * (ABS(C11 - C12) + 13 / 14 * (ABS(C12 - C13) + 13 / 14 * (ABS(C13 - C14) + 13 / 14 * (ABS(C14 - C15) + 13 / 14 * (ABS(C15 - C16) + 13 / 14 * (ABS(C16 - C17) + 13 / 14 * (ABS(C17 - C18) + 13 / 14 * (ABS(C18 - C19) + 13 / 14 * (ABS(C19 - C20) + 13 / 14 * (ABS(C20 - C21) + 13 / 14 * (ABS(C21 - C22) + 13 / 14 * (ABS(C22 - C23) + 13 / 14 * (ABS(C23 - C24) + 13 / 14 * (ABS(C24 - C25) + 13 / 14 * (ABS(C25 - C26) + 13 / 14 * (ABS(C26 - C27) + 13 / 14 * (ABS(C27 - C28) + 13 / 14 * (ABS(C28 - C29) + 13 / 14 * (ABS(C29 - C30) + 13 / 14 * (ABS(C30 - C31) + 13 / 14 * (ABS(C31 - C32) + 13 / 14 * (ABS(C32 - C33) + 13 / 14 * (ABS(C33 - C34) + 13 / 14 * (ABS(C34 - C35) + 13 / 14 * (ABS(C35 - C36) + 13 / 14 * (ABS(C36 - C37) + 13 / 14 * (ABS(C37 - C38) + 13 / 14 * (ABS(C38 - C39) + 13 / 14 * (ABS(C39 - C40) + 13 / 14 * (ABS(C40 - C41) + 13 / 14 * (ABS(C41 - C42) + 13 / 14 * (ABS(C42 - C43) + 13 / 14 * (ABS(C43 - C44) + 13 / 14 * (ABS(C44 - C45) + 13 / 14 * (ABS(C45 - C46) + 13 / 14 * (ABS(C46 - C47) + 13 / 14 * (ABS(C47 - C48) + 13 / 14 * (ABS(C48 - C49) + 13 / 14 * (ABS(C49 - C50) + 13 / 14 * (ABS(C50 - C51) + 13 / 14 * (ABS(C51 - C52) + 13 / 14 * (ABS(C52 - C53) + 13 / 14 * (ABS(C53 - C54) + 13 / 14 * (ABS(C54 - C55) + 13 / 14 * (ABS(C55 - C56) + 13 / 14 * (ABS(C56 - C57) + 13 / 14 * (ABS(C57 - C58) + 13 / 14 * (ABS(C58 - C59) + 13 / 14 * (ABS(C59 - C60) + 13 / 14 * (ABS(C60 - C61) + 13 / 14 * (ABS(C61 - C62) + 13 / 14 * (ABS(C62 - C63) + 13 / 14 * (ABS(C63 - C64) + 13 / 14 * (ABS(C64 - C65) + 13 / 14 * (ABS(C65 - C66) + 13 / 14 * (ABS(C66 - C67) + 13 / 14 * (ABS(C67 - C68) + 13 / 14 * (ABS(C68 - C69) + 13 / 14 * (ABS(C69 - C70) + 13 / 14 * (ABS(C70 - C71) + 13 / 14 * (ABS(C71 - C72) + 13 / 14 * (ABS(C72 - C73) + 13 / 14 * (ABS(C73 - C74) + 13 / 14 * (ABS(C74 - C75) + 13 / 14 * (ABS(C75 - C76) + 13 / 14 * (ABS(C76 - C77) + 13 / 14 * (ABS(C77 - C78) + 13 / 14 * (ABS(C78 - C79) + 13 / 14 * (ABS(C79 - C80) + 13 / 14 * (ABS(C80 - C81) + 13 / 14 * (ABS(C81 - C82) + 13 / 14 * (ABS(C82 - C83) + 13 / 14 * (ABS(C83 - C84) + 13 / 14 * (ABS(C84 - C85) + 13 / 14 * (ABS(C85 - C86) + 13 / 14 * (ABS(C86 - C87) + 13 / 14 * (ABS(C87 - C88) + 13 / 14 * (ABS(C88 - C89) + 13 / 14 * (ABS(C89 - C90) + 13 / 14 * (ABS(C90 - C91) + 13 / 14 * (ABS(C91 - C92) + 13 / 14 * (ABS(C92 - C93) + 13 / 14 * (ABS(C93 - C94) + 13 / 14 * (ABS(C94 - C95) + 13 / 14 * (ABS(C95 - C96) + 13 / 14 * (ABS(C96 - C97) + 13 / 14 * (ABS(C97 - C98) + 13 / 14 * (ABS(C98 - C99) + 13 / 14 * (ABS(C99 - C100) + 13 / 14 * (ABS(C100 - C101) + 13 / 14 * (ABS(C101 - C102) + 13 / 14 * (ABS(C102 - C103) + 13 / 14 * (ABS(C103 - C104) + 13 / 14 * (ABS(C104 - C105) + 13 / 14 * (ABS(C105 - C106) + 13 / 14 * (ABS(C106 - C107) + 13 / 14 * (ABS(C107 - C108) + 13 / 14 * (ABS(C108 - C109) + 13 / 14 * (ABS(C109 - C110) + 13 / 14 * (ABS(C110 - C111) + 13 / 14 * (ABS(C111 - C112) + 13 / 14 * (ABS(C112 - C113) + 13 / 14 * (ABS(C113 - C114) + 13 / 14 * (ABS(C114 - C115) + 13 / 14 * (ABS(C115 - C116) + 13 / 14 * (ABS(C116 - C117) + 13 / 14 * (ABS(C117 - C118) + 13 / 14 * (ABS(C118 - C119) + 13 / 14 * (ABS(C119 - C120) + 13 / 14 * (ABS(C120 - C121) + 13 / 14 * (ABS(C121 - C122) + 13 / 14 * (ABS(C122 - C123) + 13 / 14 * (ABS(C123 - C124) + 13 / 14 * (ABS(C124 - C125))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))) + 50 <= 16
