Bruce, 

Is there a short cut for Volatility Stop indicator in TC to reference it in a PCF

For example for moving average 50 day is AvgC50 rather than writing the entire formula. Do we have something like this for Volatility Stop maybe VST

No, there is no built in syntax for the Volatility Stop indicator. I do not even have a way to re-create it by combining other indicators. The only way to make conditions based on the Volatility Stop indicator is to click on it and select Create Scan Condition.

Ok let me give yo simple ex of what UI want done and if this is not possible then what I want to do is for sure not

Assume we have 3 Volatility stops with 3 diff settings on the chart.

Can we create an indicator that will plot 3 if Price is > all 3, plot 2 if price  is > 2 and of course 0 if price is < all 3

No, there isn't a way to do so.

There is no way to write a PCF from scratch in TC either correct?

No. At least I have never been able to figure out a way to do so.

Not sure if this'll help, but I found some calculations a few years back Googling "Volatility Stop"...

I'm guessing if it was PCFable, Bruce would've done it by now.

I understand the calculations of the volatility stop indicator. I can make it using RealCode. I cannot make it using the Personal Criteria Formula Language.

Yes pls RC in TC!!!

 

Bruce is there anyway we can create a condition Price > VST and then use that condition in a PCF that would plot 1 if true and 0 if false

No, it is not possible to plot a 1 or a 0 on the chart based on the results of a condition created by clicking on an indicator and selecting Create Scan Condition.
