Topic: Help with creating screen for moving average cross over in real time
Posted: Wednesday, November 4, 2009 6:49:42 PM
Bruce,

OK, I've now created the rules without errors.  How do I run them?  I tried scanning and filtering on the entire list of all stocvks without any results (this was done after market close).  Not sure if it needs to be run in real time?

My intent with this code is to use it in real time on 3 minute  charts, with a watchlist of about 20-50 stocks, and will want an alert or indication of when the rules is triggered as true for any of the stocks within the watchlist.  Please advise how I should proceed.  

Thanks

Bruce,

I started with the second of the 2 requests.

When I enter the code into real code editor, I receive the following errors:
Name 'MA50' is not declared for lines 6,6,7,8,9
Name 'MA9' is not declared for lines 8,11,12
Name 'MA18' is not declared for lines 9

Please help to resolve the errors.
I get similar errors when I try the 1 st of the 2 requests.

Thanks
Stan

Topic: Real Time - Scan / search for Gaps
Posted: Friday, May 29, 2009 12:43:05 PM

Requesting assistance to accomplish the following:

In real time at market open, Identify opening gaps of at least $0.5 EITHER ABOVE OR BELOW THE PREVIOUS day's close.

For the upward Gap, the preceeding conditions requires at least 2 days where the daily Close > daily Open, with the last day having a large real candle body of at least $1, with the upper and lower shadows < 20% of daily range.

For the downward gap, conditions are opposite, with 2 prior days with daily Close < Open, with same candle conditions for body/shadow.

Thanks in advance for the help.

How can I export the complete results of a scan conducted on a watchlist including the results of each column.

Thanks in advance for your help.

Topic: Layout with x-reference to main & sub industry
Posted: Tuesday, May 19, 2009 5:33:04 PM
I'm creating a layout with main chart as symbols using a stock watch list.

How do I add new tab/chart within the same layout that loads the industry (main and sub) onto the new tab, cross referenced to the stock in the main tab.  In the new tab, I'd like to overlay or equalizing the sub and main industry onto the same chart with a a common start point.

Thanks in advance

Topic: Morningstar Industry Groups
Posted: Tuesday, May 19, 2009 3:14:50 PM
I'm developing layouts to rank the industry groups.
a) please confirm morningstar industry data is only available as end of day 
b) how do I turn off real time data while doing analysis on eod data (during market hours); i'm assuming this will stop the updates and speed up the analysis while toggling between screens
c) can this change be limited to the current layout / chart; so I retain the real time feature on other tickers, etc.
d) how do I apply ranking to the "main" groups;  when I try using "ind rank vs all industries" on the "main" groups, the resulting dispaly is the same for all goups as i toggle through the 31 groups?  
With the 31 groups loaded under the main  watchlist screen, the 31 groups are my watch list, yet the "symbol rank vs watchlist" uses nas100?  How do I create the index of my watchlist and/or why doesn't all industry work with the 31 groups?
Thanks in advance.

How do I set up price (candles) as color coded.  Green fro close higher than previous bar; red for close lower than previous bar.  Can the same method be applied to both real time intaday and daily data.  Thanks in advance for your assistance.
