I've started getting +infinity and -infinity as results in backscanner.  What does this mean?

Thanks.

Oh yes, I see.  Oops.  Sorry about that.

What's the difference between the two conditions?

Hi Bruce,

Thanks.  I get the following error:

"Static local variable "High" is already declared."

What do you suggest?

How do you find an all time high in Blocks?

Craig,

That's wonderful, thank you.  All I need now is a way to set HighPeriod to be the date of the trade in BackScanner.  I guess I'm going to have to wait for Realcode trade based stops for that, right?

I was thinking I could create a condition to test if the low is less than the greatest high of the last 50 days minus the ATR * 3.  

if price.close < max high(50) - ATR * 3 then pass

Would that work?

Let's say my stock ABC is trading at $45 and has an ATR of $2 and has a 50 day high of $50.  If I'm right, the condition should pass when ABC reaches $43.  It can happily trade in a range of 3 * ATR i.e. 3 * 2 = 6 from the high of 50.

Any thoughts?

I'd like to use average true range as a trailing stop in backscanner.  Any ideas how I might do this?  Thank you in advance.

QUOTE (bustermu)

the rms error for the fit of the linear regression line would likely be a suitable indicator for your purpose. 



What's rms error?
