Hi

I would like to know how to refer to an indicator in a pcf.

The one I am interested in now is the stochastics D line. When it is above 70 and below 30.

Also if there is a reference to how to refer to the values of other indicator too such as MACD, OBV and RSI.

Thanks

diceman

This may help you.

(from an old post of mine):

Value A:

STOC20.1

This is the "raw" stochastic value over 20 periods.
Also called %K
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Value B:

STOC20.3

This is value A smoothed by a 3 period simple moving
average.

Also called "slow" stochastic.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Value C:

AVG(STOC20.3,3)

This is a 3 period simple smoothing applied to value B.

Also know as %D
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Value D:

XAVG(STOC20.3,3)

This is a 3 period exponential smoothing applied to value B.

Also know as %D
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Value E:

XAVG(STOC20.1,3)

This is value A "raw" stochastic with 3 period exponential smoothing.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Value D Alternate:

.500488758553275 * (XAVG(STOC20,3) + .5 * (XAVG(STOC20.1.1,3) + .5 * (XAVG(STOC20.1.2,3) + .5 * (XAVG(STOC20.1.3,3) + .5 * (XAVG(STOC20.1.4,3) + .5 * (XAVG(STOC20.1.5,3) + .5 * (XAVG(STOC20.1.6,3) + .5 * (XAVG(STOC20.1.7,3) + .5 * (XAVG(STOC20.1.8,3) + .5 * (XAVG(STOC20.1.9,3)))))))))))

QUOTE (diceman)

How would historical values be written? All these values 7 bars ago?

Value A: STOC20.1.7

Value B: STOC20.3.7

Value C: AVG(STOC20.3.7,3)

Value D: XAVG(STOC20.3.7,3)

Value D Alternate: .500488758553275 * (XAVG(STOC20.1.7,3) + .5 * (XAVG(STOC20.1.8,3) + .5 * (XAVG(STOC20.1.9,3) + .5 * (XAVG(STOC20.1.10,3) + .5 * (XAVG(STOC20.1.11,3) + .5 * (XAVG(STOC20.1.12,3) + .5 * (XAVG(STOC20.1.13,3) + .5 * (XAVG(STOC20.1.14,3) + .5 * (XAVG(STOC20.1.15,3) + .5 * (XAVG(STOC20.1.16,3)))))))))))

Value E: XAVG(STOC20.1.7,3)

qew,
You may want to review the following topic for a longer list of correct Personal Criteria Formula Language syntax:

MACD must be constructed using its component Moving Averages:
