OK, I've updated again and it is running properly.

Thanks, Craig and Bruce, for the help.

Craig,

Thanks for the help, but the update was down when I closed and re-opened as above -- I have also updated manually again to be certain, but it is visually obvious that the day matching the criteria was yesterday...

Thanks

...PS ...this is still happening after the market close, after I have closed and re-opened TC so that today should be the last day in the database.

The criteria are still being evaluated on yesterday

Hi,

I have a problem with running this in an EasyScan.

Using your formula below for
'Maximum Range for Last 8-Periods', I added '(H - L)>=' to the front to make the condition true where today's range is greater than or equal to the largest range of the last 8 days. Like this:

-----------------

(H - L)>=(H - L + H1 - L1 + ABS(H - L - H1 + L1 ) + H2 - L2 + H3 - L3 + ABS(H2 - L2 - H3 + L3 ) + ABS(H - L + H1 - L1 + ABS(H - L - H1 + L1 ) - H2 + L2 - H3 + L3 - ABS(H2 - L2 - H3 + L3 )) + H4 - L4 + H5 - L5 + ABS(H4 - L4 - H5 + L5 ) + H6 - L6 + H7 - L7 + ABS(H6 - L6 - H7 + L7 ) + ABS(H4 - L4 + H5 - L5 + ABS(H4 - L4 - H5 + L5 ) - H6 + L6 - H7 + L7 - ABS(H6 - L6 - H7 + L7 )) + ABS(H - L + H1 - L1 + ABS(H - L - H1 + L1 ) + H2 - L2 + H3 - L3 + ABS(H2 - L2 - H3 + L3 ) + ABS(H - L + H1 - L1 + ABS(H - L - H1 + L1 ) - H2 + L2 - H3 + L3 - ABS(H2 - L2 - H3 + L3 )) - H4 + L4 - H5 + L5 - ABS(H4 - L4 - H5 + L5 ) - H6 + L6 - H7 + L7 - ABS(H6 - L6 - H7 + L7 ) - ABS(H4 - L4 + H5 - L5 + ABS(H4 - L4 - H5 + L5 ) - H6 + L6 - H7 + L7 - ABS(H6 - L6 - H7 + L7 )))) / 8

--------------

The problem is, this is returning items where the condition was true yesterday, instead of today.

I am running this in TeleChart Platinum, and the top bar is showing "Streaming Real Time"

Looking for a solution...
Thanks,

Bob

Thanks, Bruce, that clarifies it perfectly.

Thanks Bruce,

I'm not far enough along with Blocks to immdiately understand how to do that, I'll come back to it.

In the meantime, I am confused ref the implementation of your instructions at the 'Min Max PCFs' thread --
the instruction says:
Replace All PCF1 with ......
Replace All PCF2 with ......


Taking the first block:

(PCF1 + PCF2 - ABS(PCF1 - (PCF2))

in my range calcuation which you did above, you replace 'PCF1' with 'H - L' and you replace 'PCF2' with 'H1 - L1'

your implementation shows:

(H - L + H1 - L1 - ABS(H - L - H1 + L1 )

what puzzles me is that the first instance of 'PCF2' was replaced with 'H1 - L1' (note MINUS) but the second instance of 'PCF2' was replaced with 'H1 + L1' (note PLUS)

Does the fact that the second instance of PF2 is enclosed in brackets imply that the value is reversed?

Thanks,

Bob

Thanks, Bruce.

Could you enlarge on how to do this in Blocks?

Thnks,

Hi,

I would like to create a PCF to return the widest daily range in the last X days

Also, the narrowest daily range in the last X days

Where range = high minus low

I've tried using MAX in conjunction with H-L but this is clearly returning the highest high minus the highest low. And MAX will not seem to accept further brackets to control the calculation order.

Thanks,

Bob
