Included is a Layout attachment for the webinar used in the 4/6 webinar, titled Keeping It Simple.
If you would like to view the conditions created for Inside Bar, Outside Bar, and Two Bar Reversals you'll need to save the Layout to the following directory:
Documents \ StockFinder5 \ Your UserName \ MyLayouts
Once the file has been put in place, you may view the Layout via File | Open Layout within StockFinder5 (or of course may hit the '/' key on your keyboard to search for the name of the Layout).
Best,

For each of you who attended the webinar, apparently my screen display became stuck on this forum page during my last q&a answer. I've provided instructions for reproduction of that example below in case you're interested.
The question was:
Is it possible to combine one of the conditions you included in the above attached Layout with a condition that requires volume to be particularly strong in order to get a more detailed and filtered list of stocks?
Answer:
It is possible. You'll need to create a condition based on either Volume or Volume Surge - then combine the condition from the Layout with the new Volume based condition for a final combo that meets both requirements.
In the webinar, I used an example of a combined Outside Bar formation with a requirement that the current Volume be at least 2 times greater than the average Volume has been over the last 20 trading bars.
To replicate, follow these steps:
1. Start with the attached Layout
2. Add a plot called Volume Surge to the chart (either via the indicator library or using the '/' key on your keyboard)
3. Change the settings of the Volume Surge plot to SHORT AVERAGE 1, LONG AVERAGE 20 via the plot Edit dialog
4. Right-click the Volume Surge plot and choose Create Condition
5. Assign settings that require Volume Surge to be GREATER THAN A VALUE. Set the value to 2. Select OK to close the dialog.
6. Drag the Outside Bar condition from the chart on top of the Volume Surge condition on the chart. Select CREATE NEW COMBO when prompted. Provide a name for the Combo and a color for the combo. In the webinar, we named the condition OUTSIDE BAR WITH VOLUME CONFIRMATION. Select OK to close the dialog.
7. Click the new condition on the chart in order to scan the active WatchList for any symbols that currently display the combination of behaviors described by the condition.
Hope that helps-
Julia

Nice webinar, Julia
As I was following along on the outside day info and you were mentioning the relatively narrow ranges in the several periods before the bigger outside day - it occurred to me that an additional scan looking for something like the range of the prospective outside day being 2 or more times the size of the ATR of the previous 6 or 7 periods might be useful also. What do you think?

BobMc,
I might even try modifying the code for the Outside Bar condition so that my current outside bar was required to encompass several of the entire ranges of the previous trading bars if I were interested in limiting my scan in that way.
In my experience, you'll only have a handful of stocks passing the original condition on a given timeframe anyway, so it will be readily apparent which of the passers includes a 'multiple outside bar'.
Best,
Julia

I have down loaded the layout, but when I go to "Edit RealCode" nothing is there except
****************************************************
* If Price.close > Price.Close (1) then Pass *
****************************************************
This is the only thing on each of the Rules.
Did I mess up something on the download??

mholman,
Are you using StockFinder 5? The Layout will not work correctly in StockFinder 4 (I get the same results if I try and open it in SF4).

I'm using SF4.
I copied the code from the Webinar and it appeared to work fine, although I don't understand the last command. "
I had been using the following for several months in SF4. Can it be improved?
Dim netbull As Single = price.Close - price.low
Dim netbar As Single = price.High - price.Low
Dim bullbar As Single = netbull / netbar
If bullbar > .9 AndAlso _
Price.High > Price.High(1) AndAlso _
Price.Low < Price.Low(1) Then Pass
BTW, any projections as to when SF5 will hit the streets?
Thanks
Mac

[QUOTE=mholman]I'm using SF4. .......
Dim netbull As Single = price.Close - price.low
Dim netbar As Single = price.High - price.Low
Dim bullbar As Single = netbull / netbar
If bullbar > .9 AndAlso _
Price.High > Price.High(1) AndAlso _
Price.Low < Price.Low(1) Then Pass
When I cut and paste the above code into my real code writer in SF4, upon hitting save or apply, I get the following error msg: ""Name "Pass" is not declared"". How can I fix this?
Thanks

I don't understand why StockFinder 5 is being used for the Webinars until it officially released by Worden. It would be most helpful if a StockFinder 4 attachements be included. It's difficult to learn when techniques used in the webinars can not be duplicated and tested.
The webinars have been excellant but not of much use when they are StockFinder 5 specific.
Thank You
Mac

Julia Your layout installed and works great. The one exception I find is when I double-click on the little box. I expected that to be somehow marked with a flag. But it does not mark. Any ideas of what is happening and how to correct it (I'm using SF5).
Thank you for a neat scan and video. I thoroughly enjoy your ongoing work.

Hi alindsley,
Double-click each empty column box to mark with a flag. See if that resolves your problem. Let us know if you have any problems.
Best,
Julia

Julia my 2nd sentence above mentioned I did dbl-clk w/no results. The dbl-clk works to flag to another watchlist (with another layout) I have but not this one. Not sure why. And I do not know how to add that flag column like you have as yet. Perhaps you can teach me how to do that.
Thanks for getting back to me.

Right click on the personal list you have selected, and then click Edit Watchlist Name/Image. From there you can assign a flag column to that list.
