Bruce,

Do you have access to FEB 2017, Technical Analysis of Stocks and Commodities Magaizine?

Thanks

I do have access to the February 2017 issue of Technical Analysis of Stocks and Commodities magazine.

In that issue Ken Calhoun shows a chart of FAS 15min timeframe

using a 50 period VWMA.

It looks quite smooth.

I tried making one and its very noisy. (I used VPCI type PCFs)

I was wondering if i missed something?

TC2000 has a different data feed?

His software has a different defintion of a VWMA?

Can you take a look and see if you can generate something like his chart.

Thanks

If you're running version 17, try this as a custom PCF indicator:

SUM((C*V),50) / SUM(V,50)

You can create a custom formula scan column to find where VWMA 50 is crossing up through AVGC70 using:

XUP(SUM((C*V),50) / SUM(V,50),AVGC70)

Or cross downs:

XDOWNUP(SUM((C*V),50) / SUM(V,50),AVGC70)

I really don't have a way to compare since I can't go that far back on a fifteen minute chart. I don't know if his VWMA using simple or exponential moving averages (or another type for that matter although I think it unlikely).

In TC2000 v17, the short way to write a simple 50 period VWMA would be:

SUM(C * V, 50) / SUM(V, 50)

And the short way to write an exponential 50 period VWMA would be:

XAVG(C * V, 50) / XAVG(V, 50)

Is there a way for me to use this in Ver 12.6?

The 70 period simple VWMA can be written for earlier versions of TC2000 as follows.

(C * V + C1 * V1 + C2 * V2 + C3 * V3 + C4 * V4 + C5 * V5 + C6 * V6 + C7 * V7 + C8 * V8 + C9 * V9 + C10 * V10 + C11 * V11 + C12 * V12 + C13 * V13 + C14 * V14 + C15 * V15 + C16 * V16 + C17 * V17 + C18 * V18 + C19 * V19 + C20 * V20 + C21 * V21 + C22 * V22 + C23 * V23 + C24 * V24 + C25 * V25 + C26 * V26 + C27 * V27 + C28 * V28 + C29 * V29 + C30 * V30 + C31 * V31 + C32 * V32 + C33 * V33 + C34 * V34 + C35 * V35 + C36 * V36 + C37 * V37 + C38 * V38 + C39 * V39 + C40 * V40 + C41 * V41 + C42 * V42 + C43 * V43 + C44 * V44 + C45 * V45 + C46 * V46 + C47 * V47 + C48 * V48 + C49 * V49 + C50 * V50 + C51 * V51 + C52 * V52 + C53 * V53 + C54 * V54 + C55 * V55 + C56 * V56 + C57 * V57 + C58 * V58 + C59 * V59 + C60 * V60 + C61 * V61 + C62 * V62 + C63 * V63 + C64 * V64 + C65 * V65 + C66 * V66 + C67 * V67 + C68 * V68 + C69 * V69 ) / 70 / AVGV70

A formula for the 70 period exponential VWMA is too long and slow to be practical or post in the forums for earlier versions of TC2000.

Thanks, Bruce. You are so responsive.

You're welcome.
