Topic: Question for Michael regarding "Vol Buzz" in freestockcharts.com
Posted: Wednesday, September 16, 2009 6:41:22 PM

I'd like to get the code for freestockcharts.com's Vol Buzz realcode for my StockFinder.  I think it is a great tool / indicator to have and would like to have it incorporated in my stockfinder charts as well as backtester.  Can you share it?

Topic: How to create an indicator to count days something has been true
Posted: Wednesday, September 9, 2009 7:57:06 PM
I'd like to keep a running count of bars during which the stock has been rangebound (e.g. 10% from 20-day high).  I tried something like this but it didn't work.  All I got was zero values.  I think there is a problem with price.MaxHigh(...) because it is not finding the 20-day high one day ago, two days ago, and so on... I think it is bad syntax to do this: MaxHigh(20)(x)?  Please point out what I'm doing wrong.  Thanks.

------------------

Dim count, x As Integer
Count = 0
If islastbar Then
 For x = 0 To 20
  If price.Close(x) > 0.9 * price.MaxHigh(20) And _
   price.Close <= Price.MaxHigh(20) Then count = count + 1
 Next
End If
Topic: How to plot multiple lines in Real Code Indicator
Posted: Wednesday, September 9, 2009 7:44:08 PM

I want to plot at least two different lines on the price history pane (or any other pane).  Example, the high and low (to illustrate a range).  Somehow I forgot how to do something so simple.  Please help. :-)

Topic: Backscanner Trade-based Rule: Exit All versus (Sell or Cover)?
Posted: Thursday, September 3, 2009 5:21:32 PM
Is there a difference between Exit All and Sell (or Exit All and Cover)?
It seems to be that Exit All is just a dual-purpose instruction for either selling a long position or covering a short position.  But I guess what makes me question my understanding is the word "All".  If my Exit All condition is met for ONE stock only, does it mean ALL my positions will be closed out?  I just want to make sure that is NOT the case.
Topic: define the block "convert fraction to negative" please

Bruce_L,

I went back a couple of weeks and found a thread from a member inquiring about the same thing I am attempting to create on my own, i.e.  the $TICK or $TRIN for intraday / real time.  Here are the threads:

http://www.worden.com/training/default.aspx?g=posts&t=32355
http://www.worden.com/training/default.aspx?g=posts&t=32609

While StockGuy is finding out, could you help us create the $TRIN indicator using what we have? 

Here's the formula: TRIN = (A / D) / (AV / DV)

where A=# advancing issues, D=#declining issues, AD=advancing volume, DV=declining volume.

As I try to write the RealCode from scratch to calculate A and D, I hit a wall when I tried to reference the daily prices on an intraday chart.  (I'm not a programmer as you can see.)
Next challenge I face is how would I keep a count of advancing issues and decling issues throughout the day as an indicator.
If someone could help me resolve those two issues, it would help me in plot the $TRIN intraday.

Got it. Thanks!

I'd like to plot the TRIN index (e.g. ARMS index) on an intraday plot.  But I think the TRIN-X ticker is an end-of-day indicator.  It may be possible to create my own version of the TRIN-X on the intraday plot, not just for the NYSE stocks (i.e. TRIN-X) but for any watchlist, by creating a separate indicator as a ratio of Advance Decline Ratio to Advance Decline Volume (both available as indicators).  From the Advance Decline Ratio flow diagram, there is a block called "convert fraction to negative".  But the Knowledge Base does not currently have a definition for it.  May I know the formula?

How often, when, and who (staff or third party) updates the component lists of ETF watchlists?  I find them very helpful (especially when used in conjunction with Blocks) as it saves me a ton of time not having to put together the lists myself.  But I find that the ones I've looked at are NOT up to date.
Topic: Intra-day candles all appear in same color
Posted: Wednesday, September 10, 2008 8:50:55 PM

To follow up on the prior comment, I've noticed that the problem with color display in candles occur not just with intraday,but daily or weekly.  This happens when I click from one time frame to another while remaining with the same active symbol.  But when I change symbol, the charts seem okay.  Is this a memory refresh issue?
