Topic: PCF code for an uptrend
Posted: Monday, May 10, 2010 12:27:08 PM
I have been away from Worden for quite a while and I'm trying to get back up to speed.  I may be doing this completely wrong.
I am working with the S&P500 list of stocks. I selected new, PCF, wrote the code (numerous times), tested it, saved it (Doji Uptrend), and updated it.  I then clicked on "Doji Uptrend" from the list to sort the S&P500 by the PCF.
Almost all the stocks that came up are in a downtrend..  I am probably doing something dumb
but I haven't figured out what yet.

Thanks

Sorry, I thought the code showed what I was trying to do.

Can you give me the PCF code for finding a stock that the last 4 consecutive bars have each been 
higher than the previous bar. I used the closing price of the bars but perhaps the high or
what ever criteria you think would be better.

Again, thanks for your assistance.

I am trying to find an uptrend ending in a doji. This code doesn't find the uptrend. 
I have tried numerous variations of the code but the stocks it finds are not in an uptrend
Thanks for your help.

Topic: 6 mos. M/A of volume times 2
Posted: Tuesday, June 24, 2008 8:25:32 AM
Thanks for the prompt reply.

The line I have generated with the above procedure is not a 6 months ave. volume times
2.  When examining the volume bars, either the standard M/A line or the line I have generated
is in error.  Obviously it is my line that is incorrect.

I would like to move the moving average line (6 months volume) up to twice it's present height.

I want to build a reference line  that shows very clearly when a volume bar exceeds twice 
the past 6 months volume.  This line should be more or less horizonal like the normal
M/A line. I just want to move the M/A line up to twice it's present height.

How do I accomplish this?

Thanks for your help.

Jim

I am trying to put a 6 months moving average line in my volume window but I want to double it (line indicates the average 6 months volume times 2).

When I put the standard 6 months M/A it works fine, the line appears to be approximately level.

However when I try to add a custom indicator an use the formula

AVGV126 * 2  OR (AVGV126*2) or ((AVGV126)*2)

I get a line that is obviously in error. It has extreme highs and lows, unlike the almost level
M/A line.

I have tried to put both M/A's in the middle window and also put each in its own window.
The M/A times 2 is inaccurate in both windows.

Your assistance would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Topic: moving averages disappear
Posted: Thursday, June 30, 2005 11:39:19 AM
When viewing a daily chart with several moving averages displayed, hitting the backspace bar (to see the previous chart) erases all but one of the moving averages.

Is there a fix for this?

Thanks,
Topic: MAXH Calculation
Posted: Saturday, June 18, 2005 2:09:47 PM
I am trying to scan for a high that is just below the high of the previous 20 trading days.


H >= ((MAXH20)*.96) AND

H <= (MAXH20)

I have tried it with and without the parenthesis.

It appears to be identical to the formula examples given in the help section but evidently is not.

Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks.

Thanks Doug,

You have to highlight the file name (once you have pointed to it) which I was not doing.

Topic: downloading watchlist symbols from files
Posted: Friday, May 6, 2005 10:26:25 AM
Craig,
Unfortunately using a IBD text file is not practical. You would have to spend hours parsing out just the symbols from a very long file.

On the other hand it takes only a few seconds to delete all of the data except the highest EPS (or whatever)symbols from Excel.

Is there anyway to import an Excel file into TC 2005?
If not this would be a valuable addition in the next upgrade.

Thanks for a great program.

One of my favorite features of TC software is the ability to use the space bar to cycle through a list of charts. It is a real time saver.
One of the most popular and useful databases is the Investors Business Daily stock tables. You can sort their stocks by EPS etc. and export it to an Excel file.

You can then delete everything but the symbol and have a sorted list of the highest EPS stock symbols in the market.

Can we import an Excel file (list of symbols) into TC2005?

If not, this would be a very useful feature for the next upgrade.
Can this feature be placed on the upgrade feature list?

Thanks again for a wonderful program.
