Try using the average true range as a "greater than" condition in your filter and set it to 1.5 (or more) dollars. You will find the best volatile stocks out there.Cheers thevinman (a trader)
Topic: intraday high and low code
Posted: Wednesday, July 7, 2010 12:42:41 PM
Dear Bruce,

I have plotted the todays intraday high in the price chart, but the line is touching all the previous bars that set the todays high. I would just like to have one horizontal line that would represent the high of the day. So everytime it makes a new high the horizontal line goes up also. Could I use the code for yesterdays high to create one static horizontal line?

Kind regards,

thevinman

This is the code for yesterdays high:

Static High(1) As Single
If isFirstBar Then
 High(0) = Single.NaN
 High(1) = Single.NaN
End If
If Price.DateValue.DayOfYear <> Price.DateValue(1).DayOfYear Then
 High(1) = High(0)
 High(0) = Price.High
End If
High(0) = System.Math.Max(High(0), Price.High)
Plot = High(1)

Save it as an indicator and overlay it in the intraday price chart.

cheers thevinman

Dear Bruce,

Thank you for the codes. This is awsome.

Yesterdays high and low code is interesting for SF5 to put into there indicator list. Yesterdays high and low are used by traders as intraday support and resitances levels.
 
Again thank you for helping me out.

Cheers thevinman

Thanks again guys!

the code for the low of the day is:

'Current Intraday Low
Static Low As Single
If isFirstBar Then Low = Price.Low
If Price.DateValue.DayOfYear <> Price.DateValue(1).DayOfYear Then Low = Price.Low
Low = System.Math.Min(Low, Price.Low)
Plot = Low

Is it also possible to plot yesterdays low by using this code? By saying price.low(1) instead of price.low?

Kind regards,

Topic: How to maximize speed of scans?
Posted: Wednesday, July 7, 2010 6:30:56 AM
Dear remobile1,

I had the same issue and there are some things you can do:
1a. The most complex conditions at the end of the filter as you already filtered out most of the symbols
1b. Do a general scan first of the 1000 shares to filter out the ones you will never trade. Filter on min and max price, average daily volume and/or min daily ATR. Then copy that list to you personalized scan.
2. When I changed to windows 7 the speed went up dramatically, but this is my personal experience.
3. Go to settings/data manager and lower the number of bars you minimum need for your conditions to work.
4. Some computer stuff you can do: defrag your computer, update windows manually, clear caches of java and explorer, upgrade your internal memory. 

I hope this will help you. Kind regards,

thevinman

Dear Support, 

I have used the code below to plot a horizontal line for the intraday high of today. I got it from the forum (thanks), but I cant find the one for the low of the day. Do I just change the word 'high' for 'low' in the code to get the intraday low? Help is appreciated. 

Thanks thevinman
