Topic: Help making indicator formula
Posted: Monday, October 11, 2010 5:14:57 PM
I have done this with price and moving average but I cant find the keltner upper and lower channels parameters to do the same.
Here is how the price-average looks like:

plot = ( (price.close - price.XAVG(26) ) / price.close) * 100

Sorry if I was not clear Bruce.
I want: the Percent that the Upper Keltner Channel is above or below Price as a Percent of Price.
Example:
1) price = 100
2) Upper kelter is = 150
So the indicator should plot the number +50 (it will take a 50% up move so price hits the upper channel of kelter.

Similar to this would be the other indicator:
Example
1) price = 100
2) bottom of kelter = 50
The indicator should return a -50 number (it will take 50% down move to touch the bottom of the kelter channel.

Can somebody please help me these 2 separate indicators that show me the following calculation:

1) last price - top of the keltner channel 13, exp,2 (it will show how much in % is to the top since last price close)
2) the same as above but to the bottom: last price - bottom of the keltner channel 13, exp,2 (also in %)

thanks in advance!

I changed my windows regional settings to USA settings and it now seems to work all right here!
Thanks again Bruce for all your efforts in helping me with this!
You are a true genius!
I couldnt come up with that formula in a thousand years!

Note that it says:
"138,00,72,00 > ,741468444601841,00 * (134,00,14,00 +"...
That seems strange to me...

I did that but my scan is still returning 0 results.
I see my PCF number results are different than yours.

Yes you are right Bruce! I found this here at the same time you were typing! Thanks a lot again!
Now could you explain a little more about that formula so I can understand it?
What should I change if I want to change the EMA to lets say a 25 period?
I didnt understand what does that particular number .0741468444601841 (or ,0741468444601841 in my case)  means for the formula?

I think I found the problem here: I am using Brazilian number format. That means we use a "," instead of a "." for fraction numbers.
So I changed the "." to "," and it seems it is working now.
I got a "Result: True" message now.
Now I will check the weekly charts!
Thanks a lot for your help Bruce!
