Just thought you might be interested in this .. or anyone. It seems to me that if one were going to play a divergence this is the time to play this one. I'm considering it for an entry. However I did a quick parusal of their fundamentals and they look wonderful at a glance... but that isn't what the chart says.. unless there was an aquisition in their history the chart and the fundamentals arent in sync.... but then that's why i'm mostly a technical trader.

Oh it's also got a TSV divergence.

yep definite divergence on both the the MACD, the MACD-H and the TSV. Real nice MACD-H divergence on the weekly too. Volume indicators are starting to look good too - but for my purposes I'd wait to see more high volume up breakout-type days before I'd consider entry. But that's my taste...

Has an EASYscan for Diceman crossovers been developed using AVGC4 OR XAVGC4 of the diceman pcf?

((ABS(XAVGC3 - XAVGC8) + ABS(XAVGC5 - XAVGC8) + ABS(XAVGC10 - XAVGC8) + ABS(XAVGC12 - XAVGC8) + ABS(XAVGC15 - XAVGC8)) / XAVGC8) * 100


I have tried without success to determine how this would be written.

thanks
diceman

If the indicator format is:

diceman = (diceman indicator)
diceman1 = (diceman indicator yesterday)
diceman2 = (diceman indicator day before yesterday)

(and so on)
---------------------------------------------------
One way to do it would be:

diceman>((diceman+diceman1+diceman2+diceman3)/4)
AND
diceman1<((diceman1+diceman2+diceman3+diceman4)/4)

-------------------------------------------------

In other words today's value is above its 4 bar average and
yesterdays value is below the previous 4 bar average.


This would be in the format:

Diceman:

((ABS(XAVGC3-XAVGC8)+ABS(XAVGC5-XAVGC8)+ABS(XAVGC10-XAVGC8)+ABS(XAVGC12-XAVGC8)+ABS(XAVGC15-XAVGC8))/XAVGC8)*100

---------------------------------------------------------

Diceman1:

((ABS(XAVGC3.1-XAVGC8.1)+ABS(XAVGC5.1-XAVGC8.1)+ABS(XAVGC10.1-XAVGC8.1)+ABS(XAVGC12.1-XAVGC8.1)+ABS(XAVGC15.1-XAVGC8.1))/XAVGC8.1)*100


------------------------------------------------------

Diceman2:

((ABS(XAVGC3.2-XAVGC8.2)+ABS(XAVGC5.2-XAVGC8.2)+ABS(XAVGC10.2-XAVGC8.2)+ABS(XAVGC12.2-XAVGC8.2)+ABS(XAVGC15.2-XAVGC8.2))/XAVGC8.2)*100

(and so on)


Thanks

Here's the complete Diceman crossing PCF. I've been using this a few weeks now and it works pretty well:

(((ABS(XAVGC3 - XAVGC8) + ABS(XAVGC5 - XAVGC8) + ABS(XAVGC10 - XAVGC8) + ABS(XAVGC12 - XAVGC8) + ABS(XAVGC15 - XAVGC8)) / XAVGC8) * 100) > (((((ABS(XAVGC3 - XAVGC8) + ABS(XAVGC5 - XAVGC8) + ABS(XAVGC10 - XAVGC8) + ABS(XAVGC12 - XAVGC8) + ABS(XAVGC15 - XAVGC8)) / XAVGC8) + ((ABS(XAVGC3.1 - XAVGC8.1) + ABS(XAVGC5.1 - XAVGC8.1) + ABS(XAVGC10.1 - XAVGC8.1) + ABS(XAVGC12.1 - XAVGC8.1) + ABS(XAVGC15.1 - XAVGC8.1)) / XAVGC8.1) + ((ABS(XAVGC3.2 - XAVGC8.2) + ABS(XAVGC5.2 - XAVGC8.2) + ABS(XAVGC10.2 - XAVGC8.2) + ABS(XAVGC12.2 - XAVGC8.2) + ABS(XAVGC15.2 - XAVGC8.2)) / XAVGC8.2) + ((ABS(XAVGC3.3 - XAVGC8.3) + ABS(XAVGC5.3 - XAVGC8.3) + ABS(XAVGC10.3 - XAVGC8.3) + ABS(XAVGC12.3 - XAVGC8.3) + ABS(XAVGC15.3 - XAVGC8.3)) / XAVGC8.3)) * 100) / 4) AND (((ABS(XAVGC3.1 - XAVGC8.1) + ABS(XAVGC5.1 - XAVGC8.1) + ABS(XAVGC10.1 - XAVGC8.1) + ABS(XAVGC12.1 - XAVGC8.1) + ABS(XAVGC15.1 - XAVGC8.1)) / XAVGC8.1) * 100) < (((((ABS(XAVGC3.4 - XAVGC8.4) + ABS(XAVGC5.4 - XAVGC8.4) + ABS(XAVGC10.4 - XAVGC8.4) + ABS(XAVGC12.4 - XAVGC8.4) + ABS(XAVGC15.4 - XAVGC8.4)) / XAVGC8.4) + ((ABS(XAVGC3.1 - XAVGC8.1) + ABS(XAVGC5.1 - XAVGC8.1) + ABS(XAVGC10.1 - XAVGC8.1) + ABS(XAVGC12.1 - XAVGC8.1) + ABS(XAVGC15.1 - XAVGC8.1)) / XAVGC8.1) + ((ABS(XAVGC3.2 - XAVGC8.2) + ABS(XAVGC5.2 - XAVGC8.2) + ABS(XAVGC10.2 - XAVGC8.2) + ABS(XAVGC12.2 - XAVGC8.2) + ABS(XAVGC15.2 - XAVGC8.2)) / XAVGC8.2) + ((ABS(XAVGC3.3 - XAVGC8.3) + ABS(XAVGC5.3 - XAVGC8.3) + ABS(XAVGC10.3 - XAVGC8.3) + ABS(XAVGC12.3 - XAVGC8.3) + ABS(XAVGC15.3 - XAVGC8.3)) / XAVGC8.3)) * 100) / 4)

thanks Hohandy,
I have been a student of Alexander Elder for sometime. The macd-h setup intrigues me.

You're welcome Vulcan. As you can probably tell the MACD-H is currently my favorite indicator of trend strength in it's own right - and if you combine it with the HNC/Diceman setup, it really does illustrate well the points that Elder made.
