I am intrigued by Ron Black's article and would like to know if the code is possible in whatever form in Tc 2000. The code is follows from the magazine in EasyLanguage:
hH = H;
lL = L;
lH = H;
hL = L;
upsw = 0;
swLine = 0;
if upsw = 1 then
if H > hH then hH = H
if L > hL then hL = L
if H < hL then { swing changes to down}
upsw = 0;
IL = L;
IH = H;
end
end
if upsw = 0 then
if L < IL then IL = L;
if H < IH then IH = H;
if L > IH then {swing changes to the up}
upsw = 1;
hH = H;
hL = L;
end
end
if upsw = 1 then plot1 (hL, "SwLine", cyan);
if upsw = 0 then plot1 (IH, "SwLine", magenta);
This is out of my league for PCF writing I have found, so I ask if any trainers or other bright PCF writers out there can help. I'm thinking of it as a possible %true indicator as I know TC can't paint individual bars from user PCFs. This looks like an alwals in indicator which switches from long to short and back, fwiw. Thanks in advance for your thoughts and support.

Think these are better: Mine has errors.

Of coarse none answer the TC200x question. Still pondering that one.

I cannot think of a way to create a Personal Criteria Formula for this that would be short enough to be practical in TeleChart.

I've moved on to use stockfinder, to new to it. How can I get My Paint Scheme which holds The Clear Method, that has realcode in it, to be a condition for my watchlist?? Thanks!

A RealCode Condition that should Pass when the Color Scheme changes from Red to Green could be written as:
'|*****************************************************************|
'|*** StockFinder RealCode Condition - Version 5.0 www.worden.com
'|*** Copy and paste this header and code into StockFinder *********

Static LowestHigh As Single
If isFirstBar Then
Swing = 0
HighestLow = Price.Low
LowestHigh = Price.High
End If
HighestLow = System.Math.Max(HighestLow, Price.Low)
LowestHigh = System.Math.Min(LowestHigh, Price.High)
If Price.Low > LowestHigh Then
If Swing = -1 Then
Pass
End If
Swing = 1
HighestLow = Price.Low
LowestHigh = Price.High
Else If Price.High < HighestLow Then
Swing = -1
HighestLow = Price.Low
LowestHigh = Price.High

Where did I goof? Using a copy from here on the Green to Red transition, I get a RealCode Condition error that says PASS in not declared.

OOPS again. Scratch another question from me. Took a restart from scratch and I now have both the Clear Noice plot from TASC but Also the transition arrows.
Thanks to all who beat me to it.
And Thanks Bruce for all the postings and instructions.

QUOTE (dnhoward) I am intrigued by Ron Black's article and would like to know if the code is possible in whatever form in Tc 2000. The code is follows from the magazine in EasyLanguage:
Try this PCF in a percent true custom indicator and plot it in the middle of the window. Set the draw color to green; the draw style to normal; check the visible box; set the smoothing average to 1; and select the exponential setting (really doesn't matter as the smoothing average is 1).
Copy and paste this PCF into the Boolean Formula box and click close. Then save your chart window. This formula used on a daily chart will closely approximate the idea from Ron Black's Short Term Swings. It takes several of the popular indicators and combines them into one easy to read indicator.
(MS1 > XAVG(MS1,4) and TSV28 >= XAVG(TSV28,4)) or ((( - 136) *AVG(XAVGC12,4) + 24 * AVG(XAVGC26,4) + 112 * AVG(XAVGC9,4)) / 51 > ((( -136) * AVG(XAVGC12.1,4) + 24 * AVG(XAVGC26.1,4) + 112 * AVG(XAVGC9.1,4)) /51) AND AVG(OBV,4) > AVG(OBV1.1,4))

Here are a couple of oscillators to add to the percent true indicator above. These give interesting clues when they are both near the bottom and start ascending in sync inside the green indicator when condition is true. Or when they are both near the top and start descending in sync outside the green indicator when condition is false. Another interesting outcome is observed when the two oscillators have a visual difference of more than 50% and are starting to change direction.
The short term oscillator custom indicator settings: Put this also in the middle window and set the draw color to yellow, the draw style to normal, check the visible box, uncheck the zero line and the plot using price scale boxes, smoothing average set to one, and simple.
PCF: (STOC5.4 + RSI5.4) / 2
===========================
The long term oscillator custom indicator settings: Put this also in the middle window and set the draw color to magenta, the draw style to normal, check the visible box, uncheck the zero line and the plot using price scale boxes, smoothing average set to one, and simple.
PCF: (STOC21.4 + STOC55.4 + RSI13.4 + RSI21.4) / 4
Thanks to all who contribute to these forums and a special thanks to the trainers who brilliantly show us how to use these formulas!

I thought I would pass on some additional tools to use if you find the above PCFs and indicators of value.
The PCF above and shown here for reference:
((MS1 >= XAVG(MS1,4) AND TSV28 >= XAVG(TSV28,4)) OR ((( - 136) * AVG(XAVGC12,4) + 24 * AVG(XAVGC26,4) + 112 * AVG(XAVGC9,4)) / 51 >= ((( - 136) * AVG(XAVGC12.1,4) + 24 * AVG(XAVGC26.1,4) + 112 * AVG(XAVGC9.1,4)) / 51) AND XAVG(OBV1,4) >= XAVG(OBV1.1,4)))
can be included in a PCF and sorted to find those stocks in an uptrend. This PCF uses the popular indicators including Money Stream, TSV, MACD, and On Balance Volume. It compares the current value to the short-term average of four bars and looks for the majority to be indicating an uptrend.
Taking this one step further by adding the Boolean operator for the condition NOT being true yesterday, we can expand the PCF and sort for stocks where and uptrend may be starting today. The PCF then becomes:
((MS1 >= XAVG(MS1,4) AND TSV28 >= XAVG(TSV28,4)) OR ((( - 136) * AVG(XAVGC12,4) + 24 * AVG(XAVGC26,4) + 112 * AVG(XAVGC9,4)) / 51 >= ((( - 136) * AVG(XAVGC12.1,4) + 24 * AVG(XAVGC26.1,4) + 112 * AVG(XAVGC9.1,4)) / 51) AND XAVG(OBV1,4) >= XAVG(OBV1.1,4))) AND NOT((MS1.1 >= XAVG(MS1.1,4) AND TSV28.1 >= XAVG(TSV28.1,4)) OR ((( - 136) * AVG(XAVGC12.1,4) + 24 * AVG(XAVGC26.1,4) + 112 * AVG(XAVGC9.1,4)) / 51 >= ((( - 136) * AVG(XAVGC12.2,4) + 24 * AVG(XAVGC26.2,4) + 112 * AVG(XAVGC9.2,4)) / 51) AND XAVG(OBV1.1,4) >= XAVG(OBV1.2,4)))
I use the top PCF in one watch list tab and the second PCF in the next tab to the right. When the condition is true the word "TRUE" shows up in the column. That way you can see the stocks where the uptrend is starting today in the left column and the stocks where the uptrend is continuing in the column to the right.
If you have other ideas to enhance the value of these tools, please let me know.
Best regards, Richard

CORRECTION: The two PCFs above are install in adjacent columns under one watchlist tab so they can be seen side-by-side. I incorrectly stated that they should be installed in adjacent watchlist tabs, which would make them impossible to see side-by-side.
My bad, Richard

Those are some interesting indicators InvestAlert.
I usually like to see %true indicators on the price chart.
If you put a true false inside the ABS() function it will equal 1 when true and zero when false.
This allows you to multiply by price so that it equals price or zero.
(this allows you to plot true/false in the price window but not go above price)
Using your first PCF I have a few examples:
The first goes to the low of the bar.
Then one for 1% below the low.
Then one with an averge of the low. (just to show there are many options how to set it up)
Remember, it goes in the top window.
Its an indicator not a % true. (because now it has values)
Select: "Plot using price scale".
To the Low:
ABS((MS1 > XAVG(MS1,4) and TSV28 >= XAVG(TSV28,4)) or ((( - 136) *AVG(XAVGC12,4) + 24 * AVG(XAVGC26,4) + 112 * AVG(XAVGC9,4)) / 51 > ((( -136) * AVG(XAVGC12.1,4) + 24 * AVG(XAVGC26.1,4) + 112 * AVG(XAVGC9.1,4)) /51) AND AVG(OBV,4) > AVG(OBV1.1,4)))*L
1% below the Low
ABS((MS1 > XAVG(MS1,4) and TSV28 >= XAVG(TSV28,4)) or ((( - 136) *AVG(XAVGC12,4) + 24 * AVG(XAVGC26,4) + 112 * AVG(XAVGC9,4)) / 51 > ((( -136) * AVG(XAVGC12.1,4) + 24 * AVG(XAVGC26.1,4) + 112 * AVG(XAVGC9.1,4)) /51) AND AVG(OBV,4) > AVG(OBV1.1,4)))*L*.99
3 period exp. avg of the low:
ABS((MS1 > XAVG(MS1,4) and TSV28 >= XAVG(TSV28,4)) or ((( - 136) *AVG(XAVGC12,4) + 24 * AVG(XAVGC26,4) + 112 * AVG(XAVGC9,4)) / 51 > ((( -136) * AVG(XAVGC12.1,4) + 24 * AVG(XAVGC26.1,4) + 112 * AVG(XAVGC9.1,4)) /51) AND AVG(OBV,4) > AVG(OBV1.1,4)))*XAVGL3
Just thought Id throw that out there if you are interested.
ABS(true/false PCF)*some price function
Thanks

Stock finder has paint scheme function. How TC2000 v11. Can we get paint scheme in TC2000 v11?. I could not find that.
Thanks.

kailayanathank,
The TC2000.com version 11 beta does not currently have the paint feature that is part of StockFinder.
The best way to influence what will be in TC2000.com is to actively participate in the TC2000.com version 11 beta. All questions, comments and suggestions related to the TC2000.com version 11 beta should be addressed to:
feedback@tc2000.com
