 Hello,

I am trying to generate a PCF using RSI and strangely, I am having a hard time even getting the basic RSI value for with 14 periods in Telechart to agree with other websites (eg. Freestockcharts.com). For instance, the 14 period RSI for AAPL on Friday (2/26) should read 64.4 but is coming up 66.7 on the PCF when I test it. I have tested numerous other symbols and the variance is even greater with some. Any ideas?

 My best guess is that you want to check Use Wilders Smoothing and set the Avg Period to 1 in TeleChart. One way to write the Personal Criteria Formula for a 14-Period RSI with Use Wilders Smoothing Checked and an Avg Period of 1 would be:

50 * (C - XAVGC27.1) / 14 / (.071435345156143 * (ABS(C - C1) + 13 / 14 * (ABS(C1 - C2) + 13 / 14 * (ABS(C2 - C3) + 13 / 14 * (ABS(C3 - C4) + 13 / 14 * (ABS(C4 - C5) + 13 / 14 * (ABS(C5 - C6) + 13 / 14 * (ABS(C6 - C7) + 13 / 14 * (ABS(C7 - C8) + 13 / 14 * (ABS(C8 - C9) + 13 / 14 * (ABS(C9 - C10) + 13 / 14 * (ABS(C10 - C11) + 13 / 14 * (ABS(C11 - C12) + 13 / 14 * (ABS(C12 - C13) + 13 / 14 * (ABS(C13 - C14) + 13 / 14 * (ABS(C14 - C15) + 13 / 14 * (ABS(C15 - C16) + 13 / 14 * (ABS(C16 - C17) + 13 / 14 * (ABS(C17 - C18) + 13 / 14 * (ABS(C18 - C19) + 13 / 14 * (ABS(C19 - C20) + 13 / 14 * (ABS(C20 - C21) + 13 / 14 * (ABS(C21 - C22) + 13 / 14 * (ABS(C22 - C23) + 13 / 14 * (ABS(C23 - C24) + 13 / 14 * (ABS(C24 - C25) + 13 / 14 * (ABS(C25 - C26) + 13 / 14 * (ABS(C26 - C27) + 13 / 14 * (ABS(C27 - C28) + 13 / 14 * (ABS(C28 - C29) + 13 / 14 * (ABS(C29 - C30) + 13 / 14 * (ABS(C30 - C31) + 13 / 14 * (ABS(C31 - C32) + 13 / 14 * (ABS(C32 - C33) + 13 / 14 * (ABS(C33 - C34) + 13 / 14 * (ABS(C34 - C35) + 13 / 14 * (ABS(C35 - C36) + 13 / 14 * (ABS(C36 - C37) + 13 / 14 * (ABS(C37 - C38) + 13 / 14 * (ABS(C38 - C39) + 13 / 14 * (ABS(C39 - C40) + 13 / 14 * (ABS(C40 - C41) + 13 / 14 * (ABS(C41 - C42) + 13 / 14 * (ABS(C42 - C43) + 13 / 14 * (ABS(C43 - C44) + 13 / 14 * (ABS(C44 - C45) + 13 / 14 * (ABS(C45 - C46) + 13 / 14 * (ABS(C46 - C47) + 13 / 14 * (ABS(C47 - C48) + 13 / 14 * (ABS(C48 - C49) + 13 / 14 * (ABS(C49 - C50) + 13 / 14 * (ABS(C50 - C51) + 13 / 14 * (ABS(C51 - C52) + 13 / 14 * (ABS(C52 - C53) + 13 / 14 * (ABS(C53 - C54) + 13 / 14 * (ABS(C54 - C55) + 13 / 14 * (ABS(C55 - C56) + 13 / 14 * (ABS(C56 - C57) + 13 / 14 * (ABS(C57 - C58) + 13 / 14 * (ABS(C58 - C59) + 13 / 14 * (ABS(C59 - C60) + 13 / 14 * (ABS(C60 - C61) + 13 / 14 * (ABS(C61 - C62) + 13 / 14 * (ABS(C62 - C63) + 13 / 14 * (ABS(C63 - C64) + 13 / 14 * (ABS(C64 - C65) + 13 / 14 * (ABS(C65 - C66) + 13 / 14 * (ABS(C66 - C67) + 13 / 14 * (ABS(C67 - C68) + 13 / 14 * (ABS(C68 - C69) + 13 / 14 * (ABS(C69 - C70) + 13 / 14 * (ABS(C70 - C71) + 13 / 14 * (ABS(C71 - C72) + 13 / 14 * (ABS(C72 - C73) + 13 / 14 * (ABS(C73 - C74) + 13 / 14 * (ABS(C74 - C75) + 13 / 14 * (ABS(C75 - C76) + 13 / 14 * (ABS(C76 - C77) + 13 / 14 * (ABS(C77 - C78) + 13 / 14 * (ABS(C78 - C79) + 13 / 14 * (ABS(C79 - C80) + 13 / 14 * (ABS(C80 - C81) + 13 / 14 * (ABS(C81 - C82) + 13 / 14 * (ABS(C82 - C83) + 13 / 14 * (ABS(C83 - C84) + 13 / 14 * (ABS(C84 - C85) + 13 / 14 * (ABS(C85 - C86) + 13 / 14 * (ABS(C86 - C87) + 13 / 14 * (ABS(C87 - C88) + 13 / 14 * (ABS(C88 - C89) + 13 / 14 * (ABS(C89 - C90) + 13 / 14 * (ABS(C90 - C91) + 13 / 14 * (ABS(C91 - C92) + 13 / 14 * (ABS(C92 - C93) + 13 / 14 * (ABS(C93 - C94) + 13 / 14 * (ABS(C94 - C95) + 13 / 14 * (ABS(C95 - C96) + 13 / 14 * (ABS(C96 - C97) + 13 / 14 * (ABS(C97 - C98) + 13 / 14 * (ABS(C98 - C99) + 13 / 14 * (ABS(C99 - C100) + 13 / 14 * (ABS(C100 - C101) + 13 / 14 * (ABS(C101 - C102) + 13 / 14 * (ABS(C102 - C103) + 13 / 14 * (ABS(C103 - C104) + 13 / 14 * (ABS(C104 - C105) + 13 / 14 * (ABS(C105 - C106) + 13 / 14 * (ABS(C106 - C107) + 13 / 14 * (ABS(C107 - C108) + 13 / 14 * (ABS(C108 - C109) + 13 / 14 * (ABS(C109 - C110) + 13 / 14 * (ABS(C110 - C111) + 13 / 14 * (ABS(C111 - C112) + 13 / 14 * (ABS(C112 - C113) + 13 / 14 * (ABS(C113 - C114) + 13 / 14 * (ABS(C114 - C115) + 13 / 14 * (ABS(C115 - C116) + 13 / 14 * (ABS(C116 - C117) + 13 / 14 * (ABS(C117 - C118) + 13 / 14 * (ABS(C118 - C119) + 13 / 14 * (ABS(C119 - C120) + 13 / 14 * (ABS(C120 - C121) + 13 / 14 * (ABS(C121 - C122) + 13 / 14 * (ABS(C122 - C123) + 13 / 14 * (ABS(C123 - C124) + 13 / 14 * (ABS(C124 - C125))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))) + 50
