Bruce,
How do I write a PCF for the 13 day SMA (of TSV10) crossing the zero line upwards?

If you are using TC2000 version 12, I would generally recommend clicking on the Moving Average of TSV and selecting Create Condition | Crossing Up Value, Crossing Up Through: 0. It should produce results that are more efficient than a Condition Formula while being easier to create at the same time.
Indicators, Sorting & Scanning
That said, if the TSV is Simple, the formula could be written as:
AVG(TSV10,13) > 0 AND AVG(TSV10.1,13) <= 0
While if the TSV is Exponential, the formula could be written as:
XAVG(TSV13,10) > 0 AND XAVG(TSV13.1,10) <= 0

Thks Bruce. I'm using TC2000 version 6. I didn't realiize there is a version 12.
Are we supposed to be automatically informed when a new version comes up. If so, I didn't receive any notice to that effect.
How do I get the latest version. I'm a Gold customer.

I do not know if TC2000 version 12 has been officially announced to the point where all existing subscribers should have been informed yet (it is just out of beta and its features are still evolving).
You should be able to use the formulas provided in TeleChart 2007. You do not need to uninstall TeleChart 2007 to run TC2000 version 12. You can run TC2000 version 12 by going to:
http://www.tc2000.com/

Or you could drop by your local newsstand (from the September issue of S&C) ...

Seriously, though ...
I would check that your email address on file is up-to-date, and that Worden's email isn't winding up in your Spam folder. I recall getting a few emails regrading the new version, including one dated July 26th with a subject line: "Upgrade Notice for TC2000.com".

Now that I think about it, I'm not sure if that email went out to everyone, or just the folks who were already using the beta version of TC2000.
In any case, my point is: the S&C full page ad is out ... if there is anyone left that doesn't already know about TC2000 v12, the marketing folks still have some work to do.

Morning,
In the old TC2007 version I had pcf code to check the % volatility and filter based on that %.
In the new beta version of TC 12 I now have a % also but somehow way different then what I have been used to seeing in the old version. Even when I increase the grid lines I have no clue what I should expect to see. Wish there was something in the Help files.
Would you please help me with the pcf code to target the beta version's % volatility in a pcf so as to filter out any stock which is below 5% volatility?
Thanks, Cliff

There is absolutely no way to write a generalized Personal Criteria Formula which would display the % difference between gridlines in TC2000 version 12.
It was possible in TeleChart 2007, but that was because TeleChart had a fixed number of bars at each zoom.
Chart Scale Increment
You could use the same formulas in TC2000 version 12, but they wouldn't match the numbers in the bottom right hand corner of the chart.

Ouch, Bruce...
Why would they do that. We all use this % for the volatility in our chat room of 70+.
It surprises me that this would just be dropped. Any chance they will re-consider?

The percentage display in the lower right hand corner of the chart is coming back. In version 12.0.4260.20667 (currently in beta), you can view it by choosing percent as the scaling option. That said, I still wouldn't be writing a formula for it. The problem is that you don't know how many bars are on the chart.
BTW, using that number as a measure of volatility really isn't the best idea. It is only comparable when using the same zoom and time frame. In addition, it is specifically the percent difference between the top two gridlines. You would be far better off distilling it down to its essence. Something like the following for the Zoom 9 for example:
100 * (MAXH20 / MINL20 - 1)
Would be far better than the type of formula which actually matches this value:
100 * ((100 * MAXH20 / ((MAXH20 / MINL20) ^ (1 / 12))) \ 1) / ((100 * MAXH20 / ((MAXH20 / MINL20) ^ (1 / 6))) \ 1) - 100

I think 70+ emails to feedback@tc2000.com would be a good start.
Just a hunch, but I doubt v12 is the final version. Compared to TeleChart, TC2000 is still in its infancy, and constantly evolving.
Vote early & often!
