Topic: Back testing averaging strategy
Posted: Sunday, July 19, 2009 10:12:48 PM
Is it possible to back test a strategy that uses averaging into a position such as the example below? Note that the entry and exit conditions (1 and 5) in the example may change.
 
1.                  Buy 10% of the position at the close today. This is triggered by an entry rule.
 
2.                  If closing price is lower than previous entry any day during the position then buy another 20%.
 
3.                  If closing price is lower than previous entry price any day during the position then buy another 30%.
 
4.                  If closing price is lower than previous entry price any day during the position then buy the last 60%
 
5.                  Exit entire position at the end of 7 days
 
Thanks,
Giovanni

Could you please explain the parameters used on the Double Bottom rule?

PatternPeriod
LowTightnessPercentage

I have tried many different combinations when scanning US Common Stock but have come up empty so far.

Also, could you share a similar rule for a Double Top?

Thanks for your help.

Posted: Tuesday, January 13, 2009 12:04:51 AM
Thanks Bruce. The scan works very well. Could you please tell me what parameters I need to change to now create a distribution scan with the same rules?

1.  Scan looks at volume over last ten-day period.

2.  Strategy requires that volume be at least 30% above the
21-day average on three down days during last ten days
 
3.  No above average volume on any up days

2.  Strategy requires that volume be at least 30% above the

21 day average on three up days during last ten days, and no

above average volume on any down days

Can you help me with this?

Topic: Bullish Engulfing pattern
Posted: Tuesday, December 30, 2008 6:23:26 PM
Hi Julia,

I have used the the Bullish Engulfing pattern provided with StokFinder. This pattern covers the basic definition of Bullish Engulfing (items 2 through 5 above). However, I don't know how to include items 1 (downtrend where the highest value in the last five days is less than the lowest value over four weeks, starting three weeks ago). Also, how do I include items 6 through 9?

Thanks,
Gio
Topic: Bullish Engulfing pattern
Posted: Tuesday, December 30, 2008 2:15:14 PM

I want to create a rule(s) for a Bullish Engulfing pattern setup but I don't know how to write the code. The conditions are below:

1. The stock must be in a downtrend based on the last 20 days

2.  First day of the pattern must be a black body (close < open)

3. Second day of the pattern must be a white body (close > open)

4. Second day's open must be lower than first day's close

5.  Second day's close must be higher than first day's close

6. Volume on first day of the pattern must be above average (21 day)

7.  Price must be below 7 day MA

8.  First day of the pattern should have a large upper shadow

9.  Second day of the pattern should have a large lower shadow.

Can you help me with this?

Thanks,
Gio

Hi,

I am a new member using TC2007. Please help me find ATR in your software or provide me with a formula to program it or its equivalent in PCF. This is an important indicator to me.

Thanks,
