Hi Bruce,

Back in August 2016, you coded these two Heiken-Ashi Custom PCF % True Indicators below for long or short or short entries.

H-A Long Entry Today

4 * L >= XAVGO3.1 + XAVGH3.1 + XAVGL3.1 + XAVGC3.1 AND L < H AND 4 * H1 <= XAVGO3.2 + XAVGH3.2 + XAVGL3.2 + XAVGC3.2 AND L1 < H1

H-A Short Entry Today

4 * H <= XAVGO3.1 + XAVGH3.1 + XAVGL3.1 + XAVGC3.1 AND L < H AND 4 * L1 >= XAVGO3.2 + XAVGH3.2 + XAVGL3.2 + XAVGC3.2 AND L1 < H1

I'd appreciate modifying each of these to create H-A Long Entry as of Yesterday and H-A Short Entry as of Yesterday.

Thanks!

Please try the following Condition Formulas (for TC2000 v17):

HA Long Entry Yesterday:

4 * L1 >= XAVG(O2 + H2 + L2 + C2, 3) AND L1 < H1 AND 4 * H2 <= XAVG(O3 + H3 + L3 + C3, 3) AND L2 < H2

HA Short Entry Yesterday.

4 * H1 <= XAVG(O2 + H2 + L2 + C2, 3) AND L1 < H1 AND 4 * L2 >= XAVG(O3 + H3 + L3 + C3, 3) AND L2 < H2

I tested the HA Long Entry Yesterday, but it doesn't trigger any hits in either US Common Stocks or ETFs.

So that I may do further tests, please also modify the HA Long and Short entries for Today in the new v17 code.

The following symbols currently return for the long for me in the US Common Stocks WatchList in a daily time frame.

Symbols from TC2000: AGRO, AMRK, AVEO, CEL, DHXM, GFED, GOGL, GSHTU, HBHCL, INST, LOXO, OMAA, PBBI, & SLRA

I just remembered I had other criteria in my Easy Scan.  That accounts for it not generating any hits.

But, should I be using updated V17 PCFs for HA Long or HA 
Short today?

It would make them slightly shorter, but you certainly don't need to do so. The older versions will still work.

H-A Long Entry Today

4 * L >= XAVG(O1 + H1 + L1 + C1, 3) AND L < H AND 4 * H1 <= XAVG(O2 + H2 + L2 + C2, 3) AND L1 < H1

H-A Short Entry Today

4 * H <= XAVG(O1 + H1 + L1 + C1, 3) AND L < H AND 4 * L1 >= XAVG(O2 + H2 + L2 + C2, 3) AND L1 < H1

Thanks.  

I like shorter versions as I assume that may make Easy Scans, Charts, and Columns in which I use them faster.

The calculations should be fairly quick to begin with, but it might make things a bit faster. The number of exponential moving averages being calculated is cut by 75%.

Thanks for the explanation.

You're welcome.
