Topic: "Cracking Sectors" modification
Posted: Thursday, April 26, 2007 4:48:59 PM
How do I add a column to the active watchlist that is populating the "Cracking Sectors" workspace that was demonstrated during the recent seminar in Chicago that gives a numeric value to the (industry vs All Industries) ranking? So that I can sort by that column?

What i would ultimately like is a watchlist of all the industries with their own respective (industry vs All Industries) ranking.

In fact I can't select a "Recent True" block either. Are these reserved and if so how do I access the functionality and definitions of them?

I have noticed that I can't select the Value Offsetter block that you have in one of the condition blocks you created. I can select Value at Series. How do i accomplish this?

Thank you I have reverse engineered both examples and I am starting to see how to use the block player's formidable abilities. Is there a way to include what the current sell stop is so that when I drag a cursor over the buy and sell set-ups I can see what the actual value was?

I don't have snag-it installed or I would send you a picture of the block diagram I created. What I am trying to do is create a sell condition for the backscaner application.

If my buy condition is satisfied (i.e. Assume Day 0) then
I want my initial trailing stop to be my entry day's low. If Day N's low is higher then current trailing stop low then replace the current with Day N's low and so on.

CLEAN TWO DAYS UP
=================
PCF:((H > H1) AND (L > L1) AND (((H1-L)/(H-L)) < .4))

BULLISH 10/10 BAR
=================
PCF:((C-L)/(H-L)*100) >= 90 AND ((O-L)/(H-L)*100) <= 10
Topic: BlockPlayer in disconnected mode?
Posted: Sunday, April 1, 2007 3:23:28 AM
Is it possible to download all the currently available web modules so that if I don't have access to the internet and wish to use the BlockPlayer I can still have access to existing modules? Wanted to play with the BlockPlayer on a long international flight and ran into the issue of not being connected at the time.

I have a question concerning the conditions you created. Take the first one for example,
"Price vs MinMax -> High, Bars Ago 1,=, Max, High, for previous 6, bars, x1.00, Bars Ago 1, True 1, of 1, Bar=1 Week"

When I select the Price vs MinMax I don't get all of these conditions. It seems as if you have somehow combined the conditions that exist in the Price vs Price block?

Thanks Bruce :-}

Would you agree that the formula's you supplied do the following?

====
LONG
====
1) Identify an intraweek price that has made a six-week low.
Price vs MinMax -> Low, Bars Ago 1,=, Min,Low, for previous 6, bars, x1.00, Bars Ago 1, True 1, of 1, Bar=1 Week

2) For weeks that made lows, the close of that week MUST be above the open.
Price vs Price-> Close (Last), Bars Ago,>, Open (First),1, Bars Ago, True 1, of 1, Bar=1 Week

3) For lows, a buy signal is triggered the next week if the index trades .25 point above the previous week's high.
Price vs Price-> High, 0, Bars Ago,>=, High,1, Bars Ago, +, 0.25, True 1, of 1, Bar=1 Week

4) Stops on buys are .25 point below the reversal week low.
Sell Stop Period 1, Comparison 0.25, 1 Week

5) If the following week does not trade above the high of the buy reversal week, there is no signal.

I would like assistance in using the BlockPlayer scanner to do the following:

Identify the weekly charts of watchlist components that I identify that fit the following:

1) Identify an intraweek price that has either made a six-week high or a six-week low.
2) For weeks that made lows, the close of that week MUST be above the open.
3) For weeks that made highs, the close of that week MUST be below the open.
4) For lows, a buy signal is triggered the next week if the index trades .25 point above the previous week's high.
5) For highs, a sell signal is triggered the next week if the index trades .25 point below the previous week's low.
6) Stops on buys are .25 point below the reversal week low.
7) Stops on sells are .25 point above the reversal week high.
8) If the following week does not trade above the high of the buy reversal week, there is no signal.
9) If the following week does not trade below the low of the sell reversal week, there is no signal.
