Hello Bruce:

 

I am a platinum user. Is it possible to write a PCF to detect the max close as of the day before from 1:00 pm ET (line in sand)  and thereby use it to scan charts in any time frame for the following 3 conditions.

1. Price crossing over the "line in sand" as described above.

2. Price above the "line in sand"

3. Price below the "line in sand"

I see that we can get the max close based on any period and any period ago, but how do we incorporate the time function ?

 

Thanks for your feedback

Deepak

I cannot think of a way to do so. There is no syntax in the Personal Criteria Formula Language for referencing the time of day in an intraday time frame.

Thanks Bruce:

 

Do you think this concept merits sharing with the developers for inclusion in a future version.

It is a relatively popular suggestion and one that I certainly hope gets implemented at some point.

Thank you for your suggestion. It has been assigned case number 10840.
