I would like to see a PCF that lets me know when an Upper BB Band (20 period, 20 std. dev.) crosses the Upper Keltner Band, ie; Upper BB Band was below the Upper Keltner Band yesterday and is above the Keltner Band today. I would like to have the PCF to return True.  I have version 17.  Have attempted  to use an older PCF (Apr. 13, 2006) from the Discussion Forum but it doesn't seem to work.  Would like to see a PCF using the more recent language and also, a PCF using the older language version, if possible.

thank you,

Please try the following Condition Formula in TC2000 v17 for the simple upper Bollinger Band 20, 2.00 crossing up through the exponential upper Keltner Channel 20, 1.50.

XUP(BBTOP(2, 20), XAVG((H + L + C) / 3 + 1.5 * ATR, 20))

Please try the following Condition Formula in older versions of TC2000 for the simple upper Bollinger Band 20, 2.00 crossing up through the exponential upper Keltner Channel 20, 1.50.

In reference to your post on aug. 15th, 10:46, concerning the upper bb band crossing the upper keltner band on a day to day basis.  I tried the v17 PCF and I get a "syntax error message at position 0"  I entered the PCF through using " custom PCF % True indicator" deleting c>ci. Is this correct?

Try copying and pasting the formula into a text editor (such as Notepad and not a word processor like Word). Then copy and paste the formula from the text editor into TC2000.

The way you are trying to use change the formula in the Custom PCF % True Indicator is correct.

Copying and Pasting the v17 PCF to a Notepad and then to TC2000 using the PCF % True Indicator works.

Thank you,

Bruce

You're welcome.
