Hi Bruce,

I would like to expand and learn about the following Price Channel Indicator:

- Smoothing Average: 10
- Average Type: Simple
- Width Multiplier: 10
- Indicator Line Formula: C
- Channel Width Formula: H - L

I also would like to construct a Price Crossover for the Upper and for the Lower Channel and I appreciate the follwing PCFs.

1. PCF for the Upper Channel (UC), Today:
2. PCF for the Upper Channel (UC1), Yesterday:
3. PCF for the Formula Line (FL):
4. PCF for the Lower Channel (LC), Today:
5. PCF for the Lower Channel ((LC1), Yesterday:

I assume the SGN formula for Price Crossing UP or DOWN UC would be:

SGN(C - UC) - SGN(C1 - UC1)

or Boolean:

SGN(C - UC) - (SGN(C1 - UC1) < > 0

Price Crossing UP

C > UC AND C1 < UC1

Thanks
Winnie

The forms for your crossover formulas appear to be correct.

Hi Bruce,

Thank you so much for the Price Channel PCFs. When I ask for PCFs I usually don’t know whether they are going to be short or long, make your work easy or very time consuming also with long PCFs slowing down the calculations to make it almost impractical to use.

Usually after you give me a couple of examples I can modify and figure out what other combinations will work for me. After you posted the above PCFs, I tested them with my formula SGN(C - UC) - SGN(C1 - UC1) and something wasn’t right, the Price was crossing UP the Lower Channel instead of the Upper Channel, I tested your Upper Channel PCF, AVGC10 + AVGH10 - AVGL10, as a Custom Indicator, the PCF was the Upper Band and perfect, I was stumped for awhile.

Then I realized if your PCF was correct then my Formula wasn’t and sure enough, I need a set of parentheses. SGN(C - (UC)) - SGN(C1 - (UC1)), Bingo it worked.


For those that may want to use the Price Channel, below are the correct Formulas and PCFs

Price Crossing UP/DN Upper (Simple) Price Channel 10,10: Math
PCF: SGN(C - (UC)) - SGN(C1 - (UC1))

SGN(C - (AVGC10 + AVGH10 - AVGL10)) - SGN(C1 - (AVGC10.1 + AVGH10.1 - AVGL10.1))

Price Crossing UP and DN Upper (Simple) Price Channel 10,10 Boolean:
PCF : SGN(C - (UC)) - SGN(C1 - (UC1)) <>0

SGN(C - (AVGC10 + AVGH10 - AVGL10)) - SGN(C1 - (AVGC10.1 + AVGH10.1 - AVGL10.1)) <>0

Price Crossing UP Upper (Simple) Price Channel 10,10 Boolean:
PCF : C> (UC) AND C1 < (UC1)

C > (AVGC10 + AVGH10 - AVGL10) AND C1 < (AVGC10.1 + AVGH10.1 - AVGL10.1)


Thanks Again, couldn’t do it without you
