Topic: Standard deviation of 30 day range
Posted: Friday, November 9, 2018 2:50:30 PM

What is the difference betw/ Standard Deviation & Average True Range? 

Is one more reliable than the other?  Is the correlation strong (very strong)?

Morning Bruce,

I'm trying to view historical Monthly or Seasonal changes w/in ETF sectors using the following PCF:
100 * ((AVGC5 / AVGC21)  / 1 - 1)

1yr ago approx = 100 * ((AVGC5.252 / AVGC21.252)  / 1 - 1)
But > 1 yr data isn't available.

In order to view > 1yr of data, could I just as easity view the PCF.252  on a weekly chart to get an average of how that ETF performed over the past 5 years?

Or is there a better way to get at least 5 years of historical data of how an ETF performed 1 yr ago for the past 5 years?

Thank you in advance!

Question 1:  how far to anticipate a stock moving

Question 2:  and by what timeframe to get there.

Does the above % True PCF answer both Questions (historically)?     And if so, instead of using MAXC30 - C30 > 5, is it possible to figure 5% (not $5)?

What would be the % True PCF for the opposite: check for the symbol just going down?

Thanks in advance! 

PS: Is there another way of considering (historically), how far a move & in what timeframe? 

e.g,    100 * (c / XAVGC30 - 1) >5

Morning Bruce,
Subject: A watchlist column - Numeric value when boolean condition is met:
 
I want to add to my watchlist a price column based on when this boolean condition is met:
XAVGC5 > XAVG(XAVGC5,2) 
 
Is there a PCF that will identify price - only when it first becomes true (& another column when it first becomes false)?  
And that will update as a watchlist column when the condition becomes true (or false) again?

Bruce,

I like it & thank you for the PCF!  

For a period < 50 bars, I would just take off both sides of the formula?    For example, if I wanted a 49 day period I would eliminate the following:

+V49 * (C49 < C50) 

+ V49 * (C49 > C50)

Thank you again!

Please help w/ a Up/Down Volume Ratio PCF.  

Thesis:  Up/Down Volume Ratio = ratio of toatal volume on up-closing days, divided by the total volume on down-closing days, over 50 trading sessions.  

A value of >1 usually indicates more buying than selling interest, & a value <1 indicates greater selling.  Accumulation/Distribution

Bruce,

It doesn&#39;t seem to plot for any stock.  The calculation always returns a value of zero.
