Thanks Bruc, I appreciate you walking me through the steps, and thanks for adding the EMAs to the list.

I am looking for help with scanning ETFs over a wide range of time frames. I have seen how TSV and MS are used by Mr. Worden to evaluate ETFs in his video tutorial, and am looking for more information on the subject of TC's scanning techniques for ETFs. Any recommendations, references, etc. would be greatly appreciated.

Could someone help me figure out how to download Worden Studio? I have Mozilla firefox and the download is not working from the link provided by one of your threads and I didn't see any ActiveX icons anywhere? Is it possible to send the setup file via email to (email removed by Moderatro)

I have been trying to set PCFs for Pring's KST system without much success. I have viewed the discussion threads already posted on KST but I don't think they are accurate. I copied and pasted the formulas posted by Bruce under the thread "Prin's KST Indicator" (see: Pring's KST indicator). The Daily KST given in the thread is:
((C/C10 +C1/C11 +C2/C12 +C3/C13 +C4/C14 +C5/C15 +C6/C16 +C7/C17 +C8/C18 +C9/C19)*30 +(C/C15 +C1/C16 +C2/C17 +C3/C18 +C4/C19 +C5/C20 +C6/C21 +C7/C22 +C8/C23 +C9/C24)*60 +(C/C20 +C1/C21 +C2/C22 +C3/C23 +C4/C24 +C5/C25 +C6/C26 +C7/C27 +C8/C28 +C9/C29)*90 +(C/C30 +C1/C31 +C2/C32 +C3/C33 +C4/C34 +C5/C35 +C6/C36 +C7/C37 +C8/C38 +C9/C39 +C10/C40 +C11/C41 +C12/C42 +C13/C43 +C14/C44)*80)/3-1000
When I plot this formula on a chart of say, IYR, it doesn't match up with the chart from Pring's website (URL removed by Moderator). For instance, the indicator lags the May ག price bottom by at least 5 trading days but on Pring's Daily KST page it shows up as a coincident indicator. I have had similar problems with the intermediate and long term indicators.
In the above formula, I don't understand why each ROC series calculated in each set of parentheses is not divided by 10, 10, 10, and 15, respectively. I also don't understand why they are multiplied by 30, 60, 90, and 80, respectively, instead of being multiplied by a weighting factor of 1, 2, 3, and 4, respectively. Nor do I understand why the whole quantity is divided by three and then decreased by 1000. If you can explain this to me I'd greatly appreciate it.
Ultimately, I'd like to have the formulas for all of Pring's KST time periods, both SMA and EMA, as well at formulas for KST moving averages. Any help getting there would be greatly appreciated!
The MetaStock formulas I am looking to replicate in TC Platinum are:
Daily KST Simple Moving Average
(Mov(Roc(C,10,%),10,S)*1) + (Mov(Roc(C,15,%),10,S)*2) + (Mov(Roc(C,20,%),10,S)*3) + (Mov(Roc(C,30,%),15,S)*4)
Long-term Monthly KST Simple Moving Average
(Mov(Roc(C,9,%),6,S)*1) + (Mov(Roc(C,12,%),6,S)*2) + (Mov(Roc(C,18,%),6,S)*3) + (Mov(Roc(C,24,%),9,S)*4)
Intermediate KST Simple Moving Average
(Mov(Roc(C,10,%),10,S)*1) + (Mov(Roc(C,13,%),13,S)*2) + (Mov(Roc(C,15,%),15,S)*3) + (Mov(Roc(C,20,%),20,S)*4)
Intermediate KST Exponential Moving Average
(Mov(Roc(C,10,%),10,E)*1) + (Mov(Roc(C,13,%),13,E)*2) + (Mov(Roc(C,15,%),15,E)*3) + (Mov(Roc(C,20,%),20,E)*4)
Long-term KST Exponential Moving Average

5-Minute Bar Short-term KST
(Mov(ROC(C,6,%),10,S)*1)+(Mov(ROC(C,10,%),10,S)*2)+(Mov(ROC(C,15,%),8,S)*3)+(Mov(ROC(C,20,%),15,S)*4)
5-Minute Bar Long-term KST
(Mov(ROC(C,60,%),30,S)*1)+(Mov(ROC(C,90,%),40,S)*2)+(Mov(ROC(C,120,%),60,S)*3)+(Mov(ROC(C,200,%),100,S)*4)

10/15-Minute Bar Long-term KST

Short-term Tick KST
(Mov(ROC(C,12,%),10,S)*1)+(Mov(ROC(C,20,%),10,S)*2)+(Mov(ROC(C,30,%),8,S)*3)+(Mov(ROC(C,40,%),15,S)*4)

Around the Center of the range
|
Hi... so I'm trying to add my own indicator, which basically is a Bollinger Band based on the range of the day (H-L) instead of the Close of the day. I found a formula for Bollinger bands and have adjusted it to suit my needs, but am having problems, most of which probably come from the complexity. In order to track this over the last 30 days, the whole thing comes to a ridiculous amount of code, which is made simpler by making separate PCF's initially, but the final PCF or Indicator has to contain all of the code. By breaking it into parts, I have tested the syntax, but then when i do something simple such as adding 2 of the parts, the syntax does not check out anymore...
So, i have a few questions:
1) Is there ANY sort of variable capabilities in the coding for PCF's so that I don't have to make it re-calculate the same numbers hundreds of times (i.e. L + ((H-L)/2) )?
2) Is there ANY sort of looping function in the code for PCF's?
3) Is there a simpler way of doing this than programming the whole thing from scratch?
All help is much appreciated...

Is there any way to enter a NULL value or Range of Days into a PCF? For example, I want to look for IPO's that do not yet have a 200-day moving average. I would like to place in the scan something like "AVGC200=NULL" to scan for them.
Additionally, I want to scan for specific criteria within the last 60 days... is there a recursive function for doing this or do I need to do something like "C.59 or C.58 or C.57 etc."?
Thanks.
~Jonathan
