Julia promised we would receive an email containing the notes.  Haven't received it yet.  Emailed her a few days ago but no reply.  Can someone help?

re:

Hello Julia,

Enjoyed your seminar last weekend in Denver but haven’t received email of promised notes.  I want to make a buy rule such that stochastics remains below 20 for a period before crossing up.  Can’t figure out how to do that but I believe it was similar to your class example?  Can you email me the class notes?

These are not the right notes.  My class was Sat, Oct 24.  Julia talked about the Ichimoku cloud indicator.  She talked about a stochastic backetest example.  She talked about Sector rotation using RSI from a Hedge Fund seminar she recently attended.  She showed how to use a rule from one chart in another.  None of this is in these notes!

Hi nayru,

I'm attaching an augmentation to those notes for you here.  Also, I see above that you're interested in a rule that requires Stochastics to spend time below 20 before crossing up through 20.  Follow these steps to accomplish that.

1. Plot Stochastics
2. Click Stochastics plot, select Rule, Create New Rule.
3. Use these settings: Stochastics Below Value.  Then set the value to 20, and enter 5/5 within the #Bars/Bars fields.  

These rules should ensure that Stochastics must spend at least five bars in a row below 20.  

If yu want that to be true AND THEN Stochastics to cross up through 20, select OK to finalize the rule aove, then follow these instructions to create the second event necessary:

1. Click Stochastics, select Rules, Create New Rule
2. Use these settings: Stochastics Crossing Up Through Value.  Set the Value to 20. 
3. Click OK to finalize the rule.

Now you'll need to drag the first rule onto the second rule and select Create New Sequence.  Provide a name when prompted, and set the Span in Bars to 2.

That should do it.  You can use that rule as the basis of a Buy trigger in the BackScanner if you choose.

Let me know if you have any issues with that.

Best,
Julia

Thanks for the clear explanation Julia and extra notes.  Only thing missing is how to use a rule from one chart in another.  I believe you gave an example of that in class but when I try it, it says it has to be in the same chart.  I want a rule for the active chart that depends on what the sp-500 is doing at the moment.

nayru,

It sounds to me like you're referring to the example (not sure if you are the one who asked for this in class) in which we created a rule that required behavior of a Watchlist stock AND of the SP-500 simultaneously.  We can do that by adding a Price for Symbol plot.  Change the symbol on the Price for Symbol plot to SP-500.  Now click that plot to create a rule based on it.  Create the other desired rules using the original Price plot from the main pane.  Then you can combine those rules together for use anywhere in StockFinder.

Hope that helps-
Julia
