Thank you!

Topic: MACD crossing their Bollinger Bands
Posted: Thursday, July 5, 2012 10:04:01 PM

a.  With previous help from BruceL i was able to develope a PCF [TC 2007] to scan for the upward crossing of the MACD 2.8.1 of its own lower BB 20 period 1.7 SD.  I would like to create a similar condition for TC 2000 v.12.x .

b. For back testing I would also like to have a formula to use for back testing that would screen for the same crossing 5 days ago.  Icould then build from this model PCFs for prior 10 and 15 day periods.

Using the "create a scan condition" I can create a scanning function that will satisfy "a". but cannot create the pcf which would allow me to even attempt "b"

Thanks,

Myron Slomka

I must apologise for the way I posed my original request for help.  It invited confusion.  I would like to restate it:  I would like to be able to identify a list of stock whose today's MACD 2,8,1 is equal to or geater than the MACD's lower BB 20 period 16 SD [Worden's 1.6 SD].  [After reading thru some of the discussions under the broad term of calculating BBs, I would ask only that it would parallel the results one gets graphically on a solitary plot of the MACD 2.81 and of the BB 20 Periods 16SD of that plot.

Thank you!!

Topic: Identify stocks whose MACD 2.8.1 cross upper or lower Bollinger Band of that MACD

Bruce LI created 4 PCFs from the four that you gave me by computer coping them into TC PCFs.The first one worked perfectly, identifying those stocks whose MACD 2, 8, were higher than the lower band of the MACD's lower Bolinger Band 8, 17, 3.The other 3 all identified different stock listings whose MACDs were below the corresponding upper BB and above the lower BB.None of them identified stocks which were below the lower BB. I will try the simple exercise of revising the opening of your first formula to make "xavgc2-xavgc8 >" read as "xavgc2.1-xavgc8.1 =>" and move each value shown in the rest of the formula. If it works I will include them both in my scan. Does this sound reasonable to you???I am still left with the remaining 3 formulas and how to scan for a cross down through the upper BB.Thanks for your comments and further direction.mslomka [aka Bruce]

Thank you for all the PCFs and the work and advice that it implies!!!mslomka [aka Bruce]

I would like to collect lists of stocks whose MACD 2.8.1 crosses up over its lower Bollinger Band 17.8.3 or down below its upper Bollinger Band. I can do this with appropriate charting but this is time consuming. I have difficulty creating the PCFs to be able to screen list for such activity with an EASY SCAN.Can you [help me] create such PCFs. I would need one for the MACD 2.8.1 and one each for the upper and lower Bollinger Bands.Thank youmslomka [aka Bruce]
Topic: block for a moving average crossing another moving average
Posted: Tuesday, December 4, 2007 4:45:19 PM
I would like to back test a strategy using the cross of an EAVG 2 over a EAVG 8.

I have not been able to locate one going thru the steps of developing a strategy in Blocks [I have the current updated version].  If one exits, please direct me to it; if not I would appreciate your writing me one or directing me to those blocks that I can modify to develope one.

Thank you!!!
