Topic: Slow Stochastic Crossover
Posted: Tuesday, July 18, 2017 10:19:20 AM

Hello Bruce.  I'm trying to create a PCF where Slow Stochastic %k has crossed above %d yesterday and %k is greater than 20 on a daily chart.  I've searched the forum but could not find any examples of this.  Could you please help me out?

Topic: Definition of Price Volatility
Posted: Sunday, April 29, 2012 11:57:48 AM

(TC2000 v12.1).  I added the Price Volatility field to a watch list from the list of fields in the Fundamentals section.  The field displays as a two decimal number (i.e. 46.00).  I searched the help file for a definition, but could not find one.  I don't know if it is a ratio between Historical Volatility and Implied Volatility or something completely different. Does anyone know how to interpret the Price Volatility field?

Topic: Trying to code an upsloping 50 DMA
Posted: Friday, January 28, 2011 6:25:26 PM
I just tried something that seems like it should work and it doesn't.  Either I'm doing something wrong, or I have a problem with my Stockfinder. 

Could you please try this to see if it works on your machine?

1. Create a new "default" layout.
2. Add a Linear Regression Trendline to price and accept the 30 day default.
3. Right click and choose "Create Condition"
4. Select "Moving Up" from the drop down list.
5. Leave all properties at their default settings and click OK.

The new condition is added to the chart.
Now right click on the newly added condition and choose "Scan"
On my machine none of the symbols light up (no hits) but right now on my machine DIS is the first stock listed and the LinReg Trendline is clearly in a strong uptrend.  MS is another that's in a strong uptrend. 

Shouldn't this have lit up?  Am I doing something wrong?

I'm using the default of 1 Move Period.

How I'm trying to define "upsloping"
The best way to answer that is to explain what I'm trying to accomplish.

I'm trying to find stocks that have been in an uptrend and have recently pulled back.  My logic was this;  If the stock has been in a strong uptrend over the last 50 days, then I consider it to be trending higher, so if it pulls back and has a correction, then the pullback "may" be temporary and the stock could continue higher again (in the direction of the trend).   Creating the 50 dma was my initial thought for defining the uptrend.  However, you mentioned a couple of other things...  positive Net Change, positive Linear Regression.  Maybe that's the way I should go?

Hi Bruce - thanks for the reply. 
I'm not having much luck with right-clicking on the Moving Average and selecting Create Condition | Moving Up and adjusting the Rangefinder to Quickly.  The scan produces a quite a few of stocks where the moving average is not moving up quickly.  Some are actually moving down.  For example, right now if you created one of these conditions and ran it against the Nasdaq 100 Component Stocks, you would see that AKAM's 50 day moving average is actually sloping down a little since the beginning of January.  Some are slightly sloping up and others are moving up quickly.

I tried dragging the 50 DMA into the code window to program against that and it created a variable called MA, but there is no intellesense when I type MA. (dot) - so I'm not sure if we can program against it to find an upsloping MA.

I tried Price.Last > Price.Last(50) and there are plenty of hits, but quite a few are higher than Price.Last(50) but they have retraced so much that the MA looks like an upside down horseshoe (exagerating a little here) and they don't really reflect an upsloping 50 DMA.  If you have any other thoughts, I'd love to hear them.

I'm trying to create a condition in RealCode with a 50 day moving average moving up quickly.

I have tried this - but it's not working too well - some of the stocks that pass actually have a flat 50 DMA. 

If price.avg(50, 0) > price.avg(50,1) then
  Pass
End If

Thanks in advance for your help.

Thank you - your suggestion worked great!

Is there a way to filter for Optionable stocks using RealCode?  I have created a condition and would like to further filter the condition so it only pulls optionable stocks.
Topic: Pivot Points
Posted: Saturday, December 18, 2010 10:29:44 AM
I am trying to create pivot points for R1, S1, P, 3day Avg P, R2 and S2 with the output being displayed as a solid line above and below each daily bar.  Does anyone have an idea how to write the code for this?
Thank you.
Topic: Michael_T's Comparison Symbol $100 Scale Layout
Posted: Sunday, June 8, 2008 9:56:13 AM
Michael_T created a "Comparison Symbol $100 Scale" Layout, and I would like to know how to add more symbols to the chart.  I am trying to do a sector analysis using the ETF's; XLB, XLV, XLP, XLY, XLE, XLF, XLI, XLK and XLU.  These ETF symbols represent the broad market.  I can't figure out how Michael was able to attach additional symbols to the $100 base line.  

I think this would be a great Webinar topic.

Thank you.
