You could use the following Personal Criteria Formula for Price Net Change:

C - C1

Hi,
Please help me write a pcf that would identify a OBV that is increasing in value in the last 30 days or in top range while stochastic is oversold to find divergence.
I am using 14,3,3 for stochastic vales. CYH stock retraced from its high in the beginning of December 05 to the end of December and Stochastic went from overbought to oversold while OBV is still in high territory and retracing just a little bit.
Thanks

I am not sure what you mean by "in top range"...

Here are a few PCFs to try:

OBV Direction 30-day

100*(AVG(OBV1,15)-MIN(OBV1,30))/(AVG(OBV1.15,15)-MIN(OBV1,30))

Stoc 14.3 Today

STOC14.3

Once you create these two PCFs, go to EasyScan and add them as conditions.

Limit as follows using the range selector:

OBV Direction 30-day
VALUE over 100

Stoc 14.3 Today
VALUE less than 20

Here are some videos to review:

Hi Craig,

Thank you so much for trying to help so fast.

I input the PCF for OBV Direction 30-day and some of the results are not clear. For example:

1. WLT has OBV value of -318.5 and OBV chart has been increasing to the top of its range.

2. BLI has OBV value of -282.56 and OBV chart has been increasing to the top of its range.

3. CMCSA has a large positive value of 1001.47 and the chart is on the bottom of its 90 days.

I am trying to find divergence by having Stochastic and OBV in one template. Using 3 months range I would like to see the OBV line improving and staying aroung 80% Stochastic line while Stochastic itself (8,3,3) is oversold.

Again, thank you so much for your excellent service.

Try this:

OBV 3-month range:

100*(OBV1-MIN(OBV1,63))/(MAX(OBV1,63)-MIN(OBV1,63))

You will want to focus on values greater than 80.

BTW, I also made a change to the OBV direction PCF...

Values over 100 mean OBV is trending up over the last 30 trading days

Values less than 100 mean the opposite.

Hi Craig,

Another example would be AMZN with Stochastic value of 10.09 (8,3,3) and OBV -44.64. On the chart template, AMZN stochastic has clear divergence vs OBV.

Here is a formula for your other Stochastic:

STOC8.3


Same limit as as I gave above (less than 20).



Keep in mind, the OBV value is meaningless. My PCF normalizes OBV by giving you where the OBV is in its range.

Stochastics is a measure of where price is within a trading range.

My PCF above shows where OBV is with its set range.

You are really looking for OBV to be plotting near the top of its range while price is trading closer to the bottom of its range (the period you set your stochastics determines the number of days for the trading range.)

The PCFs I gave you should work fine. You may want to check out this video on stochastics:

Hi Craig,

The PCF works great! It is exactly what I am looking for.

Thanks again for your help.

Try this:

OBV 3-month range:

100*(OBV1-MIN(OBV1,63))/(MAX(OBV1,63)/MIN(OBV1,63))

You will want to focus on values greater than 80.


I doubt this PCF is what you intended. It is not invariant under a scale factor change nor a translation and therefor is meaningless.

My guess is that you probably intended:

100*(OBV1-MIN(OBV1,63))/(MAX(OBV1,63)-MIN(OBV1,63))

If so, please correct your PCF and delete this without mention.

Thanks,
Jim Murphy

Yep, made a typo. Meant it to be a "-" not a "/".

Good catch, thanks.

Corrected the original formula above.

Hi,

Can you help me with a PCF to search for stocks with 10EMA just crossing 50EMA in the last 3 days. I input "XAVGC10 > XAVGC50" and obtained too many returns with the 10EMA way above the 50EMA.
Thanks so much.

I believe this should work to return all stocks that where the 10d exp. ave. has crossover the 50d exp. ave. in any one of the past three days.


(XAVGC10 > XAVGC50 AND XAVGC10.1 < XAVGC50.1) OR (XAVGC10.1 > XAVGC50.1 AND XAVGC10.2 < XAVGC50.2) OR (XAVGC10.2 > XAVGC50.2 AND XAVGC10.3 < XAVGC50.3)

Try This,

EMA10 Up through EMA50 3 Days Ago
(XAVGC10 > XAVGC50) AND (XAVGC10 > XAVGC50.1) AND (XAVGC10.3 < XAVGC50.3)

Thanks

Hi,

I search and found the formula for Chaikin Money Flow. The indicator shows as a line. Could someone change it so that it shows as histogram. Thanks

Chaikin Money Flow:

((2*C-L-H)/(H-L)*V +(2*C1-L1-H1)/(H1-L1)*V1 +(2*C2-L2-H2)/(H2-L2)*V2 +
(2*C3-L3-H3)/(H3-L3)*V3 +(2*C4-L4-H4)/(H4-L4)*V4 +(2*C5-L5-H5)/(H5-L5)*V5 +(2*C6-L6-H6)/(H6-L6)*V6 +(2*C7-L7-H7)/(H7-L7)*V7 +(2*C8-L8-H8)/(H8-L8)*V8 +
(2*C9-L9-H9)/(H9-L9)*V9 +(2*C10-L10-H10)/(H10-L10)*V10 +(2*C11-L11-H11)/(H11-L11)*V11 +
(2*C12-L12-H12)/(H12-L12)*V12 +(2*C13-L13-H13)/(H13-L13)*V13 +(2*C14-L14-H14)/(H14-L14)*V14 +
(2*C15-L15-H15)/(H15-L15)*V15 +(2*C16-L16-H16)/(H16-L16)*V16 +(2*C17-L17-H17)/(H17-L17)*V17 +
(2*C18-L18-H18)/(H18-L18)*V18 +(2*C19-L19-H19)/(H19-L19)*V19 +(2*C20-L20-H20)/(H20-L20)*V20) / (AvgV21 * 21)

There is no way to have a custom indicator plot as a histogram. The line shows the same information the histogram would show.

Hi,
Could you help me with a PCF that will show positive MACD (12/26/9) Weekly and Daily. I would like to use this PCF to search for stocks that are trending.

Thanks

When you say "positive MACD" do you mean above zero or just moving up? Are you looking for the MACD or the MACD Histogram?

Have you watched this video and looked at the PCF templates under it?
