The EasyScan conditions:

Price Percent Change 26-weeks (values of 10 or more)
Volume 90-day (list rank of 50 or more)

The PCF:

(C - MAXH125) / (MAXH125 - MINL125) * 100

The PCF for 1 year:

(C - MAXH250) / (MAXH250 - MINL250) * 100

The PCF for 3 months

(C - MAXH63) / (MAXH63 - MINL63) * 100

(you probably see the pattern by now )

I got all the formula put in but when I went to do the "sort by 26 week retracement" is says "not calculated" and I don't know how to get it to calculate? What do I do next?

ok, what I mean is when I want to scan the mkt for the stocks that went down for the last 26 weeks and then sort by the 26 retracement ... do I use the same Easy scan for the Up 26 weeks and then only change the PCF to sort to:
(C - MINL125) / (MAXH125 - MINL125) * 100
??

OR

should I also change the Easy Scan ? If yes ... what would it be ??

thanks in advance

In trying to duplicate the results on your video I
can't get my fib retracements to line up with
my 26-weeks up sorted by 26 week retracement pcf.

I draw the fib retracement like you did on the video, from low to high of past 125 days, but my lines come out different. Instead of the first line being 23.6 it looks more like 38.2 or so.

My telechart version is 6.0.0042

Is this the same version you were using?

Is there a newer version? Am I doing something wrong?

Give me a stock example so I can try it...

I need:

Ticker
Date you are using for the low
Date you are using for the high
Date when it hits what you think is the 38.2 not the 23.6

Make sure you have the lines you want drawn selected. If you put your mouse over the end of the line drawn to create the retracement, there should be a yellow circle. Right-click on the circle and select Edit. If the 23.6% level is not checked, it will not be drawn.

The Online Help Files contain a section on Fibonacci Arcs, Fans, and Retracements that might be helpful.

Thanks for your reply.
If I use the daily chart for GLW with the shift 4 scale to show 6 months,
then I use the low of 4/21/05 and the high of 9/13/05, my Fib retracement lines drawn using those points.

The first line below the top line, which should be 23.6 is showing near the closing price of the past couple days. According to my 26-week retracements sort, this should be more like 38%. This should be the second line below the top instead of the first.

I right clicked the yellow circle and clicked on "edit" and have all the boxes showing checkmarks from 0 to 100.

I need to get this sorted out. I find the Fib retracement very useful if only I can calibrate this one correctly.

Thanks.

Tom

I am showing the PCF returning about -38 for GLW which matches the fib line it is hitting.

Are your PCFs calculated?

Yes. Mine are calculated according to the formula given in the video.

I just don't have a retracement line appearing at 23.6.

Apparently yours works fine, just as it did in the video.

I must be doing something wrong. I just don't know what it is. I'm going to try using the edit window to turn off the 23.6 line and then back on. See what that does. Any suggestions?

From the high in September to where the close is now... is there three lines (one at the high another one and then one near the current price)?

After turning off all but the 0 and 23.6 lines, I find that I have to start at the top and then work down. Instead of starting at the bottom and going up. Like in the directions.

I was doing it backwards. But I thought I saw it that way in the video.

Anyway, I think I have the hang of it now. Thanks.

You say we don't need to know how the formula works for the PCF, how am I to know which PCF I want to use? 1 yr, 6 mo., or 3 mo.s? What will I see different? I'm looking at 6 mo.s of bars at zoom 4, what changes? Also if I use different values for price percent change how will that change the results? I don't mind experimenting if I know what to expect.

I only say that for those that don't want to delve into the math.

The formulas give the close as a percentage of the total range for the stock over the selected period.

You decide the amount of time you want looked at and then use the formula that fits that time period.

deeperlife,
We do not have any Elliot Wave specific training materials, but there are frequent Elliot Wave discussions in the Stock and Market Talk forum. You could do a search for Elliot Wave in that forum do find topics with such discussions:

I recently worked through this video and scan again just to refresh my memory. It is quite a neat scan.

I ended up making a short MS Word tutorial with some basic instructions and a URL pointing back to here so I could easily find it again (my old memory ain't what it used to be).

And then I wondered....Is there any way to keep Notes on telechart that "are not attached to a chart"? A personal note. The Reason? That would take the place of the word doc I just made so as to refresh my memory, from time to time, of the steps needed to run this scan properly. And be handy should I need it in the future.

Thanks for another great scan.

It is just a clip of her comments. I'll include it here. I did it this way so the instructions wouldn't get lost from me. I dont see how to post the actual Word doc here or I'd do that.

Her 2nd scan is included just in case, one day, you might give instructions on how to create that one also <hint>.
*****************************************

Dame Learner’s Scan for Stocks that rise each of the last 4 quarters by more than 2.5% (to be seen in Sort Value Column of scan) Worden Report 11/12/2004

The values in the Sort Value Column are actual Fibonacci Retracement values as the video describes.

Dame Learner's scan for stocks with increasing EPS over the last 4 quarters

This is a link to the video to create her scan.

Choose Dame Learners EPS Scan
Sort by Price Percent Change Today pcf

“So in June I put my thinking cap on, deciding what I liked to see in a stock and set up one or two simple EasyScans. One looks for stocks with EPS increasing over each of the last four quarters by more than perhaps 2.5 %, and P/E less than 15 which means the Rank is less than perhaps 24. None of these numbers are set in stone, I juggle them so that the EPS gain in each quarter is approximately the same, and they can jump substantially from one Rank value to the next. My goal is to end up with fewer than 200 stocks in the end with good fundamentals. The count after each step in the EasyScan shows on the right enabling one to decide which attributes are most wanted and at what value. Once set I usually leave them as is.

“In the next step I use the Custom sort feature on Money stream, Right click on MS and then click Sort By in the dialog box, followed by Visual value which appears as the default, click OK . This is the reason I want less than 200 results. I use TCNet which Custom sorts only the top 200 stocks.

“The results of the Easy Scan are now displayed in order of descending Money stream. Those with MS values of 100 have it at its high for the time period displayed in the chart. There may be four or five there and I look a bit further down the list to see how those charts compare with their predecessors.

“My favorite indicators are TSV periods 18 and 8, BOP and Money Stream. Money stream is already optimized. These three happen to be the Worden proprietary indicators which is not the reason I choose them. They were the first indicators I realized I could read well and have a fair idea what the price was likely to do next. I have other favorite indicators that I can use well but that is another story for another day.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
“My second EasyScan is very similar. In this one instead of all 4 of the last Quarters, I only use the EPS change for the latest Quarter, then add Revenue Growth(for the last four quarters) in the top 50 percentile, Rank 50 to max, and PE Rank 1 to 43 which makes the PE value less than about 19. Again the values do not need to be fixed in stone but varied to give a desired not too large set of results. I use two versions of this scan, one for stock prices below 20 and the other for prices above 20. Each run typically yields around 150 to 200 results and only the ones with top MS values and good looking price charts and indicators make it the results watchlist.

“There are no Pcf's here, all the items are canned and easily added to the EasyScans directly from the drop down lists. My results over the summer have been very good. Several stocks have jumped magnificently a few trading days after purchase. One month this summer was my best ever for profits, quite spectacular. While I have learned to be a trader I am still a long term investor at heart and will let a stock run if it continues to show good potential. But with the surfeit of good looking charts that turn up each night I can be a trader and not an investor until the chaos of the market subsides, if it ever will.
