Topic: MACD new hi
Posted: Monday, January 21, 2008 10:10:29 AM
how do I write a PCF for:

MACD7,19 hit a 200-D new high within the last 10-D?

Thanks!

let me try all over again...

How do I code a PCF to simply say FAST stochastics has to be less than 70?

Thanks!

Reviewing this thread confused me.

How do I code the EL just to say SLOW STO has to be less than say, 70?

Topic: Visual Sorting
Posted: Thursday, October 18, 2007 6:20:45 PM
Hi!

Visual sorting is a very powerful feature, but its use is somewhat limited by constraints in the Telechart user interface.

Specifically, moving averages (of price) can ONLY be plotted in the TOP chart with price.  Further, price itself cannot be made invisible.  This prevents plotting many sets (either two or three per) of moving averages for visual sorting in different (middle, bottom) charts.

How can we get around this limitation?

Thanks in advance!

The PEG (PEXgrowth) ratio is not built into the TC2K database.  However, there is PE, and there is (earnings) growth.

Can I, either by visual sorting or by way of PCF, impute such a ratio for my screening ?

Thanks in advance!

Dear  Craig:

Need some clarification:

<< Your PCF does not correspond to a weekly MACD>>

Did you mean I can't simply translate 16,42,9 weeks into 80,210,45 days for my PCF XAVG functions? If true, I simply can't create PCFs to scan weekly stats?

<<1. Remove your MACD
2. Add a MACD of 16,41,1
3. Add a moving average of the MACD with a period of 9>>

In the process of doing this, I noticed the 9 day XAVG of my MACD (16,42,9) actually differs from the avg line plotted by the MACD itself.  Why would that be?  They should be identical!?

Thanks,
Dick

Dear Craig:

Thank you so much for pointing me to the MACD video.

My objective is to test MACD crossing MACD avg per my own weekly setting (16,42,9).  (That's 16,42 and 9 WEEKS).

I implemented your logic as follows:XAVGC80-XAVGC210 > XAVG(XAVGC45,80)-XAVG(XAVGC45,210)

I got back many erroneous results on which I hope you can enlighten. 

For symbol ABV, as an example, if you plot a weekly (line, not histogram) chart using 16,42,9, you can clearly see MACD is below MACD avg.

Yet the PCF tested true with the following values:

69.07-62.27 > 66.64-59.94

Where have I gone wrong?

Thanks!

Why can MACD, the MOST used function, not be used in a PCF?

I even successfully recreated the MACD function manually within the PCF but because of the number of days I desire (MACD (16,42,9)) the PCF becomes too unwieldy.

How do I overcome this limitation?
