I would like to generate time signals for a constant time period, for example 25 days. What are the easiest way to accomplish this in TC 2005?

THX!

I am not exactly sure what you mean by "time signals". Can you elaborate?

I would like to generate a pluse/signal on a customerized chart on my middle indicator window every X ( 5 days for example) trading days/bars from a specific date/bar ( for example, 10/13/05) backward. So there will be a mark/pulse on 10/13/05, 10/06/05, 9/29/05, 9/22/05, 9/15/.. etc. ).

Thanks!

I don't know of a way to do this automatically.

What type of date calculation functions are available in TC2005? Can you use a true/false type of PCF to mark/pulse every x bars/days backward around a certain date?


Thanks!

Here are some examples of the elements/data points that can be used:

Handy PCF example formulas to help you learn the syntax of PCFs!

You can use the Custom Percent True indicator to "pulse"

Visually Backtesting Specific Symbols

I cannot think of a way to have it pulse every X bars. There are no elements to set Boolean logic to trigger based on time.
