Unfortunately, I have no way to contact the author.

Do you have an formula experts there that could look at this?

Thanks....Erin

StockGuy,

Do you know how I would add ABS after the SQR?  Meaning, where would the right parenthesis go?

I got the left part down,     SQR(ABS(

but I don't know where to put the right parenthese.  (I don't totally understand the formula.)

Also, there are 2 SQRs in the formula.

Thanks....Erin

Diceman or StockGuy,

I called customer service and they couldn't help me....they said that there was a problem with the formula.

I got to thinking about what you said Diceman....it was taking the sq root of a negative number....so I decided to try and put in an "absolute" calculation in after the sq root, using ABS....but I'm having problems.

I still get a syntax error and I"m wondering if I'm putting the parenthesis in the wrong place.  Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks...Erin

Thanks StockGuy.  I have no clue what's wrong....mine shows "not calculated"....I can't get it to calculate.  I guess I'll try and call customer support tommorrow and see if they can figure it out.

Thanks again....Erin

Diceman or StockGuy,

When you click on fx, and see your list of pcfs....does it show "calculated" or "not calculated" for the pcf we're working with?

Thanks....Erin

StockGuy, I can't even get that far as I can't calculate the PCF.  Under my list of PCFs, it says Not Calculated.  When I try to calculate, I get the syntax error.  Any ideas to get past that step?

Thanks....Erin

Great Diceman...thanks.  But here's a question....that would change the formula, so wouldn't it totally change what it's supposed to be doing?  Like I said, I didn't write the formula, but it's supposed to be a formula to find stocks that are in a weekly volatility squeeze less than 6%.

Thanks for the help....Erin

Thanks StockGuy.  I still can't get the PCF to calculate.  Since you say it's working fine, I don't know what to do.  I guess the problem is on my end, but I can't figure out what it would be.  I've deleted everything....restarted TC and tried to create it again....but it always gives me a syntax error when I try to calculate.

Diceman, I see your suggestion, but why would StockGuy be able to calculate the formula and I can't.  Also, how do you know it's taking a square root of a neg number?  I didn't write this PCF.

Thanks for the help....Erin

I'm having problems writing a pcf....when I test it, it seems fine, but when I try to update I get a message that there is a syntax error.

((AVGC100 + 2 * SQR((20 * (C * C + C5 * C5 + C10 * C10 + C15 * C15 + C20 * C20 + C25 * C25 + C30 * C30 + C35 * C35 + C40 * C40 + C45 * C45 + C50 * C50 + C55 * C55 + C60 * C60 + C65 * C65 + C70 * C70 + C75 * C75 + C80 * C80 + C85 * C85 + C90 * C90 + C95 * C95) - (AVGC100 * 20) * (AVGC100 * 20)) / (20 * 20))) - (AVGC100 - 2 * SQR((20 * (C * C + C5 * C5 + C10 * C10 + C15 * C15 + C20 * C20 + C25 * C25 + C30 * C30 + C35 * C35 + C40 * C40 + C45 * C45 + C50 * C50 + C55 * C55 + C60 * C60 + C65 * C65 + C70 * C70 + C75 * C75 + C80 * C80 + C85 * C85 + C90 * C90 + C95 * C95) - (AVGC100 * 20) * (AVGC100 * 20)) / (20 * 20)))) / AVGC100 <= .06


Thank you for your help.....Erin
