 I would like to create a PCF for Volatility Stops.  Basically I would like to take the difference between the high and low price for each day.  Then average the difference over the past 30 days (not including today).

Multiply the average times 1.5 and then subtract the result for the current low price.

Does something like this exist, or how would I go about creating this?

 Try this:

L-((AVGH30.1-AVGL30.1)*1.5)

 I tried to use this in a PCF - I copied it - and I get Syntax Error - I am wanting to use it to calculate position sizing based on the 20,2 volatility stop

This works:



L-((AVGH30.1-AVGL30.1)*1.5)



What told you you have a syntax error?
Are you sure it was copied correctly?



Thanks

 rhs.investments,
While diceman is correct that it does not produce a syntax error, it also will not calculate a 20,2 Volatilaty Stop. I do not know of a way to do so in the current version of TeleChart.
