Topic: Price Volatility Ranks between 50 & max
Posted: Wednesday, October 3, 2012 4:10:49 PM

Just to be clear, can you confirm that the definition of the column "Price Volatility" is given under the topic you reference above (Volatility as per TC2005), where it is described as "Volatility (Relative Volatility)"?

That would make sense, and I don't mean to split hairs here, just want to be sure that I understand the calculation used (noting that the calculation given is only an example and includes two holidays).

Topic: TC2000 v12 and Stockfinder realcode formulas return different # results
Posted: Friday, April 27, 2012 1:15:13 PM

Initially, I used a TC2000 v7 formula with a volume threshold of 2500 shares (all volume in that database is in 100's). I edited the formula and corrected it to AVGV20>250000 however the # stocks passing did not change. I'm going to try deleting the formula and re-scanning as well as adding a volume filter separately from the original formula and see if those work.

Thank you for your help, Chris

Topic: TC2000 v12 and Stockfinder realcode formulas return different # results
Posted: Friday, April 27, 2012 9:32:54 AM

I am trying to scan for US common stocks that are over $5, have an average volume over 250,000 per day and have moved up 25% in the last month. 

In stockfinder, the realcode formula is:  If price.Close(20) >= 5 And price.AVG(20) * volume.AVG(20) >= 2500 And 100 * (price.Close - price.close(20)) / price.Close(20) >= 25 Then pass

That formula returned 29 tickers last night.

In TC2000 v12, the PCF is C20 >= 5 AND AVGV20 >= 250000 AND 100 * (C - C20) / C20 >= 25

That formula returned 38 stocks last night.

Both scans were run against the database of US Common stocks

All of the tickers in Stockfinder were in TC.  The extra TC tickers were: CVLY, FCZA, FFBH, FUNC, HBNC, LION, MDGN, PBM, SGYPU.  As you can see, they are all below the volume threshold.

I realize that the databases might return slightly different results, however this appears to be a formula (volume) not working properly.  What am I doing incorrectly, and how can I get this fixed?

Thank you,  Chris Williams
