Good evening.

Can someone please tell me if there is a way to scan for stocks where TSV has recently crossed the zero line and Money Stream has recently crossed the 20 period MA?

Thank you.

We will probably be able to provide a formula if you provide your TSV and Moving Average Settings and a Period of time you would consider "recent":

Select Chart Template | Edit | Time Segmented Volume.
- Period: ?
- Average Type: Simple or Exponential?

Select Chart Template | Edit | Moving Average - 20 Bars (the one on MoneyStream).
- Period: 20
- Average Type: Simple or Exponential?
- Shift Left: Checked or Unchecked?

I also am interested in this request. May I suggest a period of 18 for the TSV simple type and for the regular MS a mov avg of 20 simple type and no shift. Your assistance is most appreciated.

lake355,
You did not suggest a Period of time you would consider "recent", but you may wish to try the following formula which checks if both crossed up within the last five days and stayed there:

(TSV18 > 0 AND MIN(TSV18.1,5) < 0) AND (MS > MS20 AND (MS1.1 < MS20.1 OR MS1.2 < MS20.2 OR MS1.3 < MS20.3 OR MS1.4 < MS20.4 OR MS1.5 < MS20.5))

The directions in each portion of the formula can be switched by reversing the > and < symbols.

Good morning, Bruce.

The formula you supplied for lake355 works for me; however is there a shorter, more direct formula for changing the time period? That is, if I would like to search for the same information for a 10 day period do I have to add to the formula for each given day (e.g. ...OR TSV18.6 < 0 OR TSV18.7 < 0 etc.)?

Also, your comment "The directions in each portion of the formula can be switched by reversing the > and < symbols" I would assume is for changing the formula when one desires to seek out short candidates -- correct?

parvenir,
I've made an adjustment to the TSV portion of the equation representing both a shorter formula and a method of adjusting its time period that is hopefully both obvious and direct (change the 5). This could be done because 0 is a fixed target. The other portion of the formula could not use this optimization because MoneyStream and its Moving Average both change over time. It is necessary to add or remove terms manually to adjust the time period.

The trainers cannot give settings, interpretation or investment advice, so I can't say if the current formula produces long candidates and switching it around produces short candidates or not. You might even want to reverse the signs only for the TSV or MS portion of the formula to get crosses going in opposite directions, who knows? That said, your question suggests you understand that the reason to make such changes is to change the direction of the crossover.

Hi again, Bruce.

I have another question: How does one search/isolate stocks that have been flagged. This morning I performed a couple of scans and flagged several stock symbols for further research. I would like to know how to find/isolate the stock symbols that I flagged.

There is a System Watchlist called All Flagged Items.

Hi again, Bruce.

Sorry to trouble you but I have yet another question which is as follows: In the SnapSheets program there is a vertical scroll bar that one can drag left to right to pinpoint a given date and time; does such a tool exist in the TeleChart program?

Yes, press the period key (full-stop) to activate the pointer mode.
