Oops.  I had the MA set to exponential.  Setting to simple produced the same peaks.

I see, thank you StockGuy.  Now the patterns look identical in frequency but not in amplitude.  I see a peak on Elliot Wave that shows 2.35 but the same peak on MACD 5,34 shows only 1.58.  I wonder why?

Hi,

 

According to your help file,  The Elliot Oscillator is simply the difference of a 5-period simple moving average and a 34-period simple moving average displayed as a histogram that oscillates above/below a zero line.

 

That sounds exactly like MACD.  But when I plot an MACD histogram indicator below the Elliot Wave oscillator, I cannot get them to match.  I have the MACD set to 5, 34, ? (Average Type = Simple).  What value of Trigger should I use to get them to match?

 

Thank you,

 

Greg

I need a profit target and stop loss percentage as a function of average daily range.  Is there a way to do that in stockfinder?

Oh, I see now.  There is a separate entry for Linear Regression Slope of Indicator.  Got it.  Thanks!

I'm missing something.  I select Add indicator > Select... Linear Regression Slope.  It puts a new plot of the price slope at the bottom, never giving me the option to choose a bollinger band.

Yea, that's what I was thinking too.  If I right-click on the price, I see "Add Child Indicator".  But if I right-click on the bollinger band, no such selection.

I have a child plot of bollinger bands.  I need the slope of each band.  Is there a way to get that?

Are you familiar with Range Bars?  This is a valuable feature in Trade Navigator.  Rather than plot price vs time, it plots price where each bar is the same length but represents a range of prices.  When the price moves out of that range, a new bar is added.  Is there a way to do that in StockFinder?

Thanks for the clear explanation Julia and extra notes.  Only thing missing is how to use a rule from one chart in another.  I believe you gave an example of that in class but when I try it, it says it has to be in the same chart.  I want a rule for the active chart that depends on what the sp-500 is doing at the moment.
