I would like to be able to plot the following in Telechart (ver 12), but I'm not sure if it can be done.

On a daily basis
a) Take the NYSE up volume
b) Take the NYSE down volume
Calculate the net of a - b above and call it NetVol

Calculate an 18 day EMA of NetVol with a .90 front load: call it EMA18
Calculate a 36 day EMA of NetVol with a .95 front load: call it EMA36

Plot = EMA18 - EMA36

I was able to do this in StockFinder using the RealCode provided below, but would like to able to migrate over to Telechart.

'##################################
' variable for UpVol
'# PfS = chart.PriceforSymbol.3
' variable for DownVol
'# PfS1 = chart.PriceforSymbol.2
Dim NetVol As Single
Static weight18Day As Single
Static weight36Day As Single
Static EMA18Day As Single
Static EMA36Day As Single
weight18Day = 0.90
weight36Day = 0.95

NetVol = (PfS.value / 10) - (PfS1.value / 10)

If Me.isFirstBar Then
    EMA18Day = NetVol
    EMA36Day = NetVol
Else   
    EMA18Day = (EMA18Day * .9) + (NetVol * .10)
    EMA36Day = (EMA36Day * Weight36Day) + ((1 - Weight36Day) * NetVol)
    Plot = EMA18Day - EMA36Day
End If

'#######################################

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I cannot think of a way to do so in either TeleChart 2007 or TC2000 version 12.

I was really hoping there was a way to do it, but was too much an idiot to see it.

Thanks for such a quick response Bruce.

Guess I will stick to the StockFinder version for now.
