Hello, i'm a new subscriber.

I need to add the T-3 indicator by Tilson (triple smoothed EMA), i see there isn't in the platinum version.

I need that for the intraday, to apply on the 3minute chart.

I would add 3 different T-3 indicators for the 3, 5, and 8 periods setting the amplifier @ 0.618.

Could you tell me the exact formula?

Thank you in advance

Using an amplifier of 0.618, the resulting pseudo formula for this (it won't work in the program) would be:

4.235801032 * XAVG(XAVG(XAVGCn,n),n) - 4.853631096 * XAVG(XAVG(XAVG(XAVGCn,n),n),n) + 1.853859096 * XAVG(XAVG(XAVG(XAVG(XAVGCn,n),n),n),n) - .236029032 * XAVG(XAVG(XAVG(XAVG(XAVG(XAVGCn,n),n),n),n),n)

We can use the techniques in Cascades of Moving Averages to expand out the moving averages manually. An Indicator Formula for the 3-Period version would be:

To plot it in the same pane as Price History, use the formula as the Indicator Line Formula in a Custom PCF Channel Indicator. Then set the Width Multiplier to 0.00 and/or set the Channel Width Formula to something which always returns zero such as C - C.

May be a stupid question. Sorry

How can I put this indicator in the same window with price? Not to separate window?

You can add a indicator to an existing pane in TC2000 version 12 by clicking on an indicator which is already in the pane and select Plot New Indicator here....

That said, I would not recommend plotting these as Custom PCF Indicators as there is no way to currently scale one with Price.

I would instead suggest that if you are going to plot these indicators in the same pane as price that you add a Custom PCF Channel Indicator instead. Use the Indicator Formula as the Indicator Line Formula and set the Width Multiplier to 0.00.

Thank you for your help

Thank you, Bruce. I'm trying to copy and paste one of those but i get a "formula error" message (argument missing near *). Why?

I cannot reproduce this in my copy of TC2000. They copy (use right-click Copy or ctrl-c) and paste (using ctrl-v) just fine and calculate without any error messages.

My best guess as to why you are receiving the error message would be that you are somehow not copying and pasting the entire formula or are copying and pasting more than just the formula.

This assumes you aren't attempting to copy the pseudo formula which is labeled to indicate it will not work with in the program (as the fact that it will not work is quite accurate).

For example i'm trying to copy and paste this:

.529822760510955 * (C + .5 * (3 * C1 + .5 * (6 * C2 + .5 * (10 * C3 + .5 * (15 * C4 + .5 * (21 * C5 + .5 * (28 * C6 + .5 * (36 * C7 + .5 * (45 * C8 + .5 * (55 * C9 + .5 * (66 * C10 + .5 * (78 * C11 + .5 * (91 * C12 + .5 * (105 * C13 + .5 * (120 * C14 + .5 * (136 * C15)))))))))))))))) - .303578054397526 * (C + .5 * (4 * C1 + .5 * (10 * C2 + .5 * (20 * C3 + .5 * (35 * C4 + .5 * (56 * C5 + .5 * (84 * C6 + .5 * (120 * C7 + .5 * (165 * C8 + .5 * (220 * C9 + .5 * (286 * C10 + .5 * (364 * C11 + .5 * (455 * C12 + .5 * (560 * C13 + .5 * (680 * C14 + .5 * (816 * C15 + .5 * (969 * C16 + .5 * (1140 * C17)))))))))))))))))) + .0579778521589612 * (C + .5 * (5 * C1 + .5 * (15 * C2 + .5 * (35 * C3 + .5 * (70 * C4 + .5 * (126 * C5 + .5 * (210 * C6 + .5 * (330 * C7 + .5 * (495 * C8 + .5 * (715 * C9 + .5 * (1001 * C10 + .5 * (1365 * C11 + .5 * (1820 * C12 + .5 * (2380 * C13 + .5 * (3060 * C14 + .5 * (3876 * C15 + .5 * (4845 * C16 + .5 * (5985 * C17 + .5 * (7315 * C18 + .5 * (8855 * C19)))))))))))))))))))) - .00369074700296233 * (C + .5 * (6 * C1 + .5 * (21 * C2 + .5 * (56 * C3 + .5 * (126 * C4 + .5 * (252 * C5 + .5 * (462 * C6 + .5 * (792 * C7 + .5 * (1287 * C8 + .5 * (2002 * C9 + .5 * (3003 * C10 + .5 * (4368 * C11 + .5 * (6188 * C12 + .5 * (8568 * C13 + .5 * (11628 * C14 + .5 * (15504 * C15 + .5 * (20349 * C16 + .5 * (26334 * C17 + .5 * (33649 * C18 + .5 * (42504 * C19 + .5 * (53130 * C20 + .5 * (65780 * C21))))))))))))))))))))))

but no way...

It doesn't matter if I'm trying to use that formula as an Indicator Formula or as the Indicator Line Formula in a Custom PCF Channel Indicator. It copies and pastes just fine into TC2000 version 12.1 for me.

Bruce,

Is it possible to create the Tilson T-3 indicator in StockFinder?  Ideally with the ability to set the period directly (rather than hard coded)?

TIA

The following RealCode Indicator is a parent indicator which is based on closing prices. It is not a child indicator which could be applied to other indicators like a moving average:

If isFirstBar Then
	Factors(0) = (1 + VolumeFactor) ^ 3
	Factors(1) = -3 * ((1 + VolumeFactor) ^ 2) * VolumeFactor
	Factors(2) = 3 * (1 + VolumeFactor) * (VolumeFactor ^ 2)
	Factors(3) = -VolumeFactor ^ 3
	For i As Integer = 0 To 5
		EMA(i) = Price.Last
	Next
	termRatio = (Period - 1) / (Period + 1)
	sumWeight = termRatio + 1
Else
	Weight = 1 / sumWeight
	EMA(0) = EMA(0) * (1 - Weight) + Weight * Price.Last
	EMA(1) = EMA(1) * (1 - Weight) + Weight * EMA(0)
	EMA(2) = EMA(2) * (1 - Weight) + Weight * EMA(1)
	EMA(3) = EMA(3) * (1 - Weight) + Weight * EMA(2)
	EMA(4) = EMA(4) * (1 - Weight) + Weight * EMA(3)
	EMA(5) = EMA(5) * (1 - Weight) + Weight * EMA(4)
	sumWeight = sumWeight * termRatio + 1
End If
Plot = Factors(0) * EMA(2) + _
	Factors(1) * EMA(3) + _
	Factors(2) * EMA(4) + _
	Factors(3) * EMA(5)

Many thanks Bruce.

Is it possible to be made into a child indicator?

No, it is not.

Thanks!  Cheers

Now it works, Bruce. Thank you.

However, I would like to see the T-3 as a moving average (like the ema13 or sma20, for example), not an indicator (my first post was not correct at all).

Could you post the formula for that?

TIA, Bruce.

It cannot be created as a child indicator in TC2000 any more than it can be created as a child indicator in StockFinder.

To plot it in the same pane as Price History, use the formula as the Indicator Line Formula in a Custom PCF Channel Indicator. Then set the Width Multiplier to 0.00 and/or set the Channel Width Formula to something which always returns zero such as C - C.
