Hello all!

I have a chart which contains both TSV18 and TSV38 on the bottom. And I have a PCF "TSV18 > TSV38". Often when the PCF returns false, the chart visually shows otherwise, i.e. TSV18 shows > TSV38. The reverse holds true as well. Which source do I believe? And why the disparity?

Appreciate any help!

Mark

Your two TSVs are on different scales.

Your PCF is showing the correct relationship... if the TSVs were plotted on the same scale you would see it confirmed on the chart.

Any "crossing" of the two TSVs you see on the chart mean nothing... they are on different scales.

Here is how you can solve this:

1) Delete both your TSV18 and 38.

2) Add a TSV with a period of 1 to your chart and UNCHECK the visible option.

3) Edit your chart and click the PLUS next to the TSV. Add a simple moving average of 18 to the TSV1.

4) Do the same as 3 but add a simple moving average of 38 to the TSV1

You now have a TSV18 and 38 plotted on the same scale (the scale of the TSV1). You should see your PCFs and charts match now.

Thank you for your response. While your solution appears true technically and I would like to report that this helps, the overlaying of two moving averages onto an invisible TSV1 creates two lines so tightly compressed that the 'visual value' disappears. Can you think of any way to expand this compression?

You may want to try:

TSV18-TSV38

click center zero line.

When above zero TSV18 is greater than TSV38.


Thanks

Thanks diceman.
That works much better visually.
