I currently use this PCF to plot the DD in the last 63 days

-1 * (MAXH63 - C) / ATR63

I like to create an indicator that plot the total count of 

If the 63 day Draw down is more than 10 then +1

More than 15 +1

More than 20 +1

So if the is > 20 the new indicator will plot 3, if its only 13 it will only plot 1.

Can you show me how to do this pls 

Dw about this I figured it out 

I am happy to read you were able to figure it out on your own.

Are these two plotting the same exact thing 

This in SF

My bad one is calculating in % and the other in ATR

How do I change the SF RC to plot it in ATR 

No, I don't think it is right. Since I am assuming you want the indicator to start plotting immediately, please try the following RealCode Indicator instead.

'# Period = UserInput.Integer = 63
'# Cumulative
Static Max As Single
Static HC1 As Integer
Static Sum As Single
Static ATR As Single
If CurrentIndex = 0 Or Price.High > Max Then
	Max = Price.High
	HC1 = 1
Else If Max = Price.High Then
	HC1 += 1
End If
If CurrentIndex > 0 Then
	Sum += System.Math.Max(Price.High, Price.Last(1)) - _
		System.Math.Min(Price.Low, Price.Last(1))
Else
	Sum = Price.High - Price.Low
End If
If CurrentIndex >= Period Then
	If Price.High(Period) = Max Then HC1 -= 1
	If HC1 = 0 Then
		Max = Price.High(Period - 1)
		HC1 = 1
		For i As Integer = Period - 2 To 0 Step -1
			If Price.High(i) > Max Then
				Max = Price.High(i)
				HC1 = 1
			Else If Price.High(i) = Max Then
				HC1 += 1
			End If
		Next
	End If
	If CurrentIndex > Period Then
		Sum -= System.Math.Max(Price.High(Period), Price.Last(Period + 1)) - _
			System.Math.Min(Price.Low(Period), Price.Last(Period + 1))
	Else
		Sum -= Price.High(Period) - Price.Low(Period)
	End If
	ATR = SUM / Period
Else
	ATR = SUM / (CurrentIndex + 1)
End If
Plot = -1 * (Max - Price.Last) / ATR

Bruce is the ATR setting in the RC above the same as the Max High

So If we are saying DD from Max 63 Day High it is using teh same 63 period to calculate ATR and onece I change the look back period to 252 it will change the ATR period to 252 as well? 

Am I correct 

Yes, the periods are the same.

Can I change this so that there are 2 period inputs one for ATR and one for the look back period

My look back period sometimes is set to 252 but my ATR is never set to highert than 63 usually 22

Breaking out the two periods doesn't complicate things too much.

		Sum -= System.Math.Max(Price.High(ATRperiod), Price.Last(ATRperiod + 1)) - _
			System.Math.Min(Price.Low(ATRperiod), Price.Last(ATRperiod + 1))
	Else
		Sum -= Price.High(ATRperiod) - Price.Low(ATRperiod)
	End If
	ATR = SUM / ATRperiod
Else
	ATR = SUM / (CurrentIndex + 1)
End If
Plot = -1 * (Max - Price.Last) / ATR

The Value of the ATR that the RC above returns is different than the Average True Range indicator

I changed the final line in the RC above to Plot = ATR and teh value that it returns is not the same as the ATR indicator in the library. I have both set to 22 days   

When I change the finasl line to 

Plot = -1 * (Max - Price.Last)

to just plot the distance from last X high the value it plots is correct but the ATR value is not

The ATR indicator in StockFinder uses Wilder's smoothing while the ATR in TC2000 uses a simple moving average in its calculation. The RealCode is designed to replicate the TC2000 formula and uses a simple moving average instead of Wilder's smoothing.

Oh I didn't know that. Thanks 

Bruce, How do I wirte a RC that continues to plot the 22 Day ATR value only when price makes a 63 day high 

So if today price makes a 63 day high the RC will plot ATR22 and continue to plot that same value until the next 63 day high 

Please try the following RealCode Indicator.

End If

	ATRstored = ATR
End If
Plot = ATRstored

The ATR here is being calculated in simple MA and not Wilders right?  

Yes.

Perfect. Thx

Bruce a while back you showed me a way to plot 4 values from the same RC so that I don't have to have the RC calculated 4 times to makes things less resouce intensive. 

How do I do that again?

For ex I want the RC above to plot 

Plot = 4 * ATRstored

Plot = 5 * ATRstored

Plot = 6 * ATRstored

Plot = 7 * ATRstored

The RC is already calculating ATRstored so at the end it just needs to multiply that with a value rather than plotting the same RC 4 times 

OpenValue = 4 * ATRstored
HighValue = 5 * ATRstored
LowValue = 6 * ATRstored
Plot = 7 * ATRstored

You will need plot 1-period moving averages of the open, high and low to get the values plotted on the chart.

I am not understaning you line. How do I plot a MA on the Open, High and Low of the RC

When I try to plot an MA on the indicator it doesn't give me an option

You will need plot 1-period moving averages of the open, high and low to get the values plotted on the chart.

There should be a Moving Average of OHLC indicator designed specifically for this.

Oh wow got it 

thx

To change your RC in your       so that it will measure from 63 day High to today's Low instead of Last I only need to adjust the last line to 

The RC I am referencing above is the one you wrote on  Friday, July 27, 2018 2:07:33 PM

It looks correct to me (but I have only done limited testing).

I don't see any instances of Price.High left (in the Max section of the code (but you left it in the ATR section). And since I used Price.Last instead of Price.Close, I can see which replacements are yours.

Bruce 

Is this in SF 

It looks like it should be the same.

Thank you! look the same as I tested both last night

Bruce I have my Volatity Stop RC below for your ref. What do I need to do to adj the RC so that it uses the High and Low as the Extreme points rather than Close

For Ex

Currently when Price is above it the indicator is plotted at 3 * ATR - the Highest Close since crossing above. Instead I want the indicator to use the Highest High and not Highest Close 

Or when price crosses below it the indicator currently is using the Lowest Close since crossing below to plot 3 * ATR above that Lowest Close. I need to adj it so that it uses the Lowest Low and not Lowest Close 

I think I have to change the Extreme(0) in the RC below and there are 4 of them (Line 22, 27, 43 and 50). I know I have to change Line 43 to Price.Low and line 50 to Price.High but I don't know what I need to change line 22 and 27 to 

Can you help pls 

I am pretty sure based on what you are trying to do you want Price.Low in line 22 and Price.High in line 27.

Thanks 

In the RC above ATR is being measured with Wilders smoothing can you pls show me how to adjust this so that it uses simple MA like TC   

I think I have replaced all of the ATR code from the indicator and the result does seem vaguely like a Volatility Stop:

I'll play with it but the only diff between the two is one is measuring ATR in Wilder smoothing while the other is using ATR in Simple MA

Since in TC ATR is measured in Simple MA I am trying to get what I use in SF to match TC 

That is all I changed.

I got the above to work thank you!

Bruce can this be written in PCF for TC?

This is plotting the 22 day ATR measured in Simple MA when price makes a 63 day high. So if today price makes a 63 day high the RC will plot ATR22 and continue to plot that same value until the next 63 day high 

I feel like this is the concept that will do it. I just have to extended this to 50 days or 100 days back.

Am I correct or you have othe ways of doing it

IIF(H >= MAXH63, ATR22, IIF(H.1 >= MAXH63.1, ATR22.1, IIF(H.2 >= MAXH63.2, ATR22.2,  0)))

That is exactly how I would do it. Since it is easier to shorten the formula then lengthen it, here it is out to 100 bars.

IIF(H = MAXH63, ATR22, IIF(H1 = MAXH63.1, ATR22.1, IIF(H2 = MAXH63.2, ATR22.2, IIF(H3 = MAXH63.3, ATR22.3, IIF(H4 = MAXH63.4, ATR22.4, IIF(H5 = MAXH63.5, ATR22.5, IIF(H6 = MAXH63.6, ATR22.6, IIF(H7 = MAXH63.7, ATR22.7, IIF(H8 = MAXH63.8, ATR22.8, IIF(H9 = MAXH63.9, ATR22.9, IIF(H10 = MAXH63.10, ATR22.10, IIF(H11 = MAXH63.11, ATR22.11, IIF(H12 = MAXH63.12, ATR22.12, IIF(H13 = MAXH63.13, ATR22.13, IIF(H14 = MAXH63.14, ATR22.14, IIF(H15 = MAXH63.15, ATR22.15, IIF(H16 = MAXH63.16, ATR22.16, IIF(H17 = MAXH63.17, ATR22.17, IIF(H18 = MAXH63.18, ATR22.18, IIF(H19 = MAXH63.19, ATR22.19, IIF(H20 = MAXH63.20, ATR22.20, IIF(H21 = MAXH63.21, ATR22.21, IIF(H22 = MAXH63.22, ATR22.22, IIF(H23 = MAXH63.23, ATR22.23, IIF(H24 = MAXH63.24, ATR22.24, IIF(H25 = MAXH63.25, ATR22.25, IIF(H26 = MAXH63.26, ATR22.26, IIF(H27 = MAXH63.27, ATR22.27, IIF(H28 = MAXH63.28, ATR22.28, IIF(H29 = MAXH63.29, ATR22.29, IIF(H30 = MAXH63.30, ATR22.30, IIF(H31 = MAXH63.31, ATR22.31, IIF(H32 = MAXH63.32, ATR22.32, IIF(H33 = MAXH63.33, ATR22.33, IIF(H34 = MAXH63.34, ATR22.34, IIF(H35 = MAXH63.35, ATR22.35, IIF(H36 = MAXH63.36, ATR22.36, IIF(H37 = MAXH63.37, ATR22.37, IIF(H38 = MAXH63.38, ATR22.38, IIF(H39 = MAXH63.39, ATR22.39, IIF(H40 = MAXH63.40, ATR22.40, IIF(H41 = MAXH63.41, ATR22.41, IIF(H42 = MAXH63.42, ATR22.42, IIF(H43 = MAXH63.43, ATR22.43, IIF(H44 = MAXH63.44, ATR22.44, IIF(H45 = MAXH63.45, ATR22.45, IIF(H46 = MAXH63.46, ATR22.46, IIF(H47 = MAXH63.47, ATR22.47, IIF(H48 = MAXH63.48, ATR22.48, IIF(H49 = MAXH63.49, ATR22.49, IIF(H50 = MAXH63.50, ATR22.50, IIF(H51 = MAXH63.51, ATR22.51, IIF(H52 = MAXH63.52, ATR22.52, IIF(H53 = MAXH63.53, ATR22.53, IIF(H54 = MAXH63.54, ATR22.54, IIF(H55 = MAXH63.55, ATR22.55, IIF(H56 = MAXH63.56, ATR22.56, IIF(H57 = MAXH63.57, ATR22.57, IIF(H58 = MAXH63.58, ATR22.58, IIF(H59 = MAXH63.59, ATR22.59, IIF(H60 = MAXH63.60, ATR22.60, IIF(H61 = MAXH63.61, ATR22.61, IIF(H62 = MAXH63.62, ATR22.62, IIF(H63 = MAXH63.63, ATR22.63, IIF(H64 = MAXH63.64, ATR22.64, IIF(H65 = MAXH63.65, ATR22.65, IIF(H66 = MAXH63.66, ATR22.66, IIF(H67 = MAXH63.67, ATR22.67, IIF(H68 = MAXH63.68, ATR22.68, IIF(H69 = MAXH63.69, ATR22.69, IIF(H70 = MAXH63.70, ATR22.70, IIF(H71 = MAXH63.71, ATR22.71, IIF(H72 = MAXH63.72, ATR22.72, IIF(H73 = MAXH63.73, ATR22.73, IIF(H74 = MAXH63.74, ATR22.74, IIF(H75 = MAXH63.75, ATR22.75, IIF(H76 = MAXH63.76, ATR22.76, IIF(H77 = MAXH63.77, ATR22.77, IIF(H78 = MAXH63.78, ATR22.78, IIF(H79 = MAXH63.79, ATR22.79, IIF(H80 = MAXH63.80, ATR22.80, IIF(H81 = MAXH63.81, ATR22.81, IIF(H82 = MAXH63.82, ATR22.82, IIF(H83 = MAXH63.83, ATR22.83, IIF(H84 = MAXH63.84, ATR22.84, IIF(H85 = MAXH63.85, ATR22.85, IIF(H86 = MAXH63.86, ATR22.86, IIF(H87 = MAXH63.87, ATR22.87, IIF(H88 = MAXH63.88, ATR22.88, IIF(H89 = MAXH63.89, ATR22.89, IIF(H90 = MAXH63.90, ATR22.90, IIF(H91 = MAXH63.91, ATR22.91, IIF(H92 = MAXH63.92, ATR22.92, IIF(H93 = MAXH63.93, ATR22.93, IIF(H94 = MAXH63.94, ATR22.94, IIF(H95 = MAXH63.95, ATR22.95, IIF(H96 = MAXH63.96, ATR22.96, IIF(H97 = MAXH63.97, ATR22.97, IIF(H98 = MAXH63.98, ATR22.98, IIF(H99 = MAXH63.99, ATR22.99, 1 / 0))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))
