I am trying to write a PCF

max high of the stochastics over the last 15 days > 80 and lowest of stochs over 25 days > 35

I have tried

maxh15(stoc12.3) > 80 and minl25(stoc12.3)

This is not working.

Can you please help?

Thank you

Sorry here is what I tried.

maxh15(stoc12.3) > 80

and

minl25(stoc12.3) > 35

Assuming you are interested in the Simple Stochastic 12,3 %K, you could try the following:

MAX(STOC12.3,15) > 80 AND MIN(STOC12.3,15) > 35

Bruce,

Thank you!!!!  That makes sense.

have a good one,

Bruce,

Is there a way to put THEN in a formula?

Such as Stoc higher than 90, then a min of 80% of the 90 stoc, then a stoc above 90?

MAX(STOC12.3,15) > 90  THEN 

MIN(STOC12.3,15) > (max high stoc*.80)  THEN 

MAX(STOC12.3,15) > 90

Thank you

Heath

In general, no. You cannot create sequences of Conditions of unknown length in a specific order.

You could check for highest Stochastic of the first five bars being above 90, the lowest Stochastic of the next five bars being above 80% of the highest Stochastic of the first five bars and the highest Stochastic of the last five bars being above 90:

MAX(STOC12.3.10,5) > 90 AND MIN(STOC12.3.5,5) > .8 * MAX(STOC12.3.10,5) AND MAX(STOC12.3,5) > 90

Bruce,

Great, I'll try that.

Thanks again.

Heath

You're welcome.
