Hi,

I need your help in PCF syntax

I am trying to find out what is the syntax for the following parameters:

1. The opening price of today

2. The closing price of yesterday

3. The pivot price

4. The VWAP price of today's candle (bar) number 10 (in a 5 min chart)

5. The high price of today's candle (bar) number 10 (in a 5 min chart)

6. The high price of the current candle (bar) (in a 5 min chart)

7. The low price of today's candle (bar) number 9 (in a 5 min chart)

8. The current price of a stock

9. The daily ATR

10. The weekly ATR

11. The R3 price

Please povide examples, I tried to follow your past answers, but it did not work to good for me.

Thanks Allot

Moshe Sebon.

Make sure this is set to a daily time frame.

O

Make sure this is set to a daily time frame. Note that this is actually the close of one bar ago and this is based on if a new bar has started forming or not. So let's say it it is Wednesday before the more the market open. This would be Monday's close. It would not change until Tuesday's close until trading day started on Wednesday.

C1

This could mean a lot of different things. I am going to go with the value of the central pivot point (PP). You need to make sure the time frame is set to daily.

(H1 + L1 + C1) / 3

Well this formula will only be correct while the 10th bar of the trading day is forming. Once the 11th bar of the trading day starts forming, you would need a different formula. The time frame needs to be set to 5-minutes in order for it to match a 5-minute chart.

SUM(V * (O + H + L + C) / 4, 10) / SUM(V, 10)

There is no way to specify the bar of the day. So during the 10th bar of the chart, the following formula would represent the high of the 10th bar of the chart.

H

But once the 11th bar starts forming, the formula would need to change to the following (both formulas need to use a 5-minute time frame).

H1

This just:

H

Using a 5-minute time frame it would be the high of the current 5 minute bar. Using a daily time frame it would be the high of the trading day so far.

There is no way to specify which bar of the day something is, only how many bars ago. So while the 9th bar is forming, this would be:

L

But while the 10th bar is forming, this would be:

L1

You need to use a 5-minute time frame for the formula if you want the formula to represent 5 minute bars.

This is just:

C

The time frame shouldn't matter.

If you want the true range for the current trading day so far.

ATR

If you want the average true range over the most recent 14 days.

ATR14

Make sure the time frame is set to daily.

If you want the true range for the current trading week so far.

ATR

If you want the average true range over the most recent 14 weeks.

ATR14

Make sure the time frame is set to weekly.

One way to write the formula for R3 would be the following.

H1 + 2 * ((H1 + L1 + C1) / 3 - L1)

Make sure the time frame is set to daily.
