Topic: How to add a watchlist column which reports Exp 20 2 Bollinger Band %b values
Posted: Saturday, November 10, 2012 10:48:27 PM

I would like to know how to add a watchlist column which reports %b values for Bollinger bands set to  20 period Exponential and 2 standard. deviations.

 

Thanks.

I completely concur with the call for ALL these changes.

I now have 160 alerts which have triggered and require me to close one by one. Aaargh!

Topic: Watchlist retrieval from a backup on another drive
Posted: Monday, August 2, 2010 5:27:40 AM
I need to retrieve some Watchlists and PCFs which I was using on my prior system. The OS got badly munged up and I couldn't get that system to connect to the internet, but all the data is still good. TeleChart was working fine when I gave up on that old system.

Now I have that old 'C:' drive in an external SATA adapter and I need to know how to I retrieve those old watchlists and PCFs and get them into my new Telechart installation on my new computer.

Thanks.
Topic: RSI Values are ZERO When Testing a PCF

Thanks for that, Bruce.

Where did you come up with the  ".500030519440884" ? 
Are you generating PCF code from a program?
It's hard to see how, doing PCF by hand, you'd come up with a number like that.

Bruce,
Thanks for the help and the explanation.
What I posted as my PCF was just a snippet. Noting the complexity of the code you wrote, I'm not going to be able to extend it without breaking something to get to what I want.
Could you please extend your 'approximation' to the full solution? Thanks.

C > AVGC200 AND
RSI2.1    < RSI2.1.1 AND
RSI2.1.1 < RSI2.1.2 AND
RSI2.1.2 < RSI2.1.3 AND
RSI2.1.3 < RSI2.1.4 AND 
RSI2.1 < 10
RSI2.1.4 < 60

After market hours on 6-11-09 I was working on a PCF for daily bars where I looked at the 2 period RSI, Avg period 1, simple; Use Wilder's Smoothing
My test SYMBOL was GCO.
The PCF code was:
C > AVGC200 AND RSI2.1 < 10 AND RSI2.1 < RSI2.1.1  AND RSI2.1.1 < RSI2.1.2

What appeared in the test values was
22.79 > 21.17 AND 0.00 < 10 AND 0.00 < 28.95 AND 28.95 < 30.56

A couple of things appear to be wrong here.
The current RSI2 was 5.56, not 0.00.
The prior day's RSI2 was 18.26, not 28.95.
The 2nd prior day's RSI2 was 50.45, not 30.56.

I can't imagine where these RSI values are coming from.
What am I not understanding here?

Whoops! I just figured it out! The RSI flavor that the PCF evaluator uses IGNORES Wilder's smoothing and there's apparently no way to indicate you want it in a PCF. The little pop up dialog to help you code the RSI properties pointedly ignores the smoothing option; which is present in the edit indicator dialog. 
I guess that means RSI is useless to me in PCFs because I always specify to use Wilder's Smoothing.

Any comment on this?
Are there any other similar surprises in PCF evaluation?

Thanks,

Thanks.

I can see that it's not pointed at the

Bironique,
The 'Liquidity Factor' you are seeking info for .... are you talking about the one used by L. Connors?
Topic: Historical Volatility and HV ratio plot for StockFinder
Posted: Wednesday, May 20, 2009 2:00:02 PM

I cannot find Historical Volatility as an indicator.

I need to use this, with a user-settable input. (but typically 100)

I also need to be able to do an Historical Volatility ratio plot; typically the 6/100.

I note that Bruce L dealt with these issues before for Telechart, so I expected they'd be built into StockFinder.

Thanks.
Topic: Monthly 12-26-9 MACD on CTX is lower...then why does the MACD plot hook UP?
Posted: Tuesday, April 8, 2008 12:34:11 PM
Thanks, Bruce. That's exactly what I needed.
But I still think that when the average is not 1, that both numbers should be reported in the same line.
Like MACD 12,26,9 - 3.39, -2.56
