To Bruce L.

Thanks for your quick reply. Please let me know if I can somehow use Telechart 2007 to determine numerical values for a PCF on particular stocks in particular days during the past two years. I would like to add more variables to my database.

I am potentially a returning customer. You certainly have introduced a lot of improvements to your product since I last looked at it several years ago However, my trial subscription runs out in about a week. If you can provide these things for me, I will continue my subscription.

I need an appropriate indication of volatility to add to my database of investment results(according to a set of buy and sell rules)for "breakout" purchase candidates obtained from IBD and Daily Graphs. I have compiled this information for the past 3 years. I would like to access a given stock, go back to the time it "broke out" and calculate a volatility indication for that particular day. A volatility indication should change every day rather than staying the same like the volatility statistic that can be added to a blank field on your graphs. Additionally, I have a problem with using a statistic when I don't know how it was calculated. Please tell me how to find the definition or formula and indicate how it can be calculated for days in the past.

For my requirements, the best volatility statistic would be calculated each day from data collected for a particular stock during the previous 20 days. It would equal the standard deviation of closing price measured from points on a regression line (for closing prices over the previous 20 days). The standard deviation would be expressed as a % of the mean closing price during the 20 day period. Please tell me if the Worden system can do this.

Additionally, I have been reading (and enjoying) the daily market commentaries. One of these refers a discussion of Sir Separate Tables on volatility. Please tell me how I can find this discussion.
