Hi Bruce, 

what does "'# Cumulative" do?

and I would like to use this as an indicator and condition, is there any reason why I can't

Bruce, you ROCK!!  

going to work on implementing it now.

Hi Bruce,

I want to scan for stocks that are making a new high (and low in another scan) of the day at certain times of the day. For example

If last is new high of day and time is between 1 PM  and 2 PM then pass

Can that be done?  Thanks in advance.

Hi Bruce,

I would like a condition that is true if a stock is at $XX.95  

For example, $9.95  $10.95  $14.95  

Actually, nothing key about "95 cents", just want to be able to search for true at any inputed amount in decimals, for example an even dollar amount at $9.00  $10.00 etc... although I will probably use .10 and .90 as the primary numbers to start out with

Thanks

Hi Bruce,

I know how to make a popup and sound alert when a condition is met, but I'm having trouble making it so that SF reacts only once per bar.

I have 1000+ symbols and the condition works fine, so if I can get the other part working it will be great.

currently I have:

If high > entrypoint then

pass

end i

If you can advise what and where that will be great.

Thanks in advance 

Ok, thanks Bruce.

I think I found the problem as you illustrated in your reply. 5000 isn't 5000 shares traded, it's 500K.

once adjusted the problem was fixed.

Hi Bruce,

I'm using the following code and receive a response that I don't expect. I'm using a 2 min chart.

datasettings are 600 bars of data

Thanks Bruce,

How do I code that it's a new bar as apposed to just another tick?

Which reminds me of another feature that would be nice. I created the code to have a popup and sound when a condition is met, but it continues to pop up multiple times in a single bar.

It would be nice if it only popped once per bar and I'm guessing the code to limit that is what I need to have the other static variables refresh upon each new bar.

Can you provide a code example that tests if its a new bar?

Hey Bruce,

I keep banding my head on computer resource limits, and also recently I found a need to use a previous bar qualifier for a setup.

With that said, hopefully both issues can be solved with the same solution if I understand "static" variables correctly.

First, the previous bar's variable requirement -

I have a bunch of code to create a qualifying setup that includes previous opens, highs, closes, volume etc.. that gives me a value. I will call this value varSETUP. I also want a value from similar variables and I will call this varConfirmation

I want the previous bar's close to be greater than varSETUP and IF that happens, I want the current bar's high/last to be greater than varConfirmation in order to "PASS" to signal a trade opportunity.

Currently, I use code that checks the previous bar's data along with the current bar's data to perform the "pass" IF THEN inside a condition.

I am wondering if I can store the bar's data for it to be used as the previous bar's data upon a new bar (I'm using intraday data).

I want the same the compariable indicator.

Also, along the same lines, I use volume moving averages that are quite long (over 500 bars), I am wondering if I can use static variables to lower the processing power needed. I understand each bar makes a static variable increasingly "stale" when it's based on a moving average, so I would like to check after each bar and maybe recalculate it after X number of bars. 

I'm not really sure how to make it happen or if using static variables are the path, but I'm open to all ideas.

Thanks

Bob

Hi Bruce,

I wanted to say thanks for the great service and your always prompt help.

I mentioned StockFinder in an article i wrote today. http://www.thestreet.com/story/11891776/1/solars-short-squeeze-days-are-numbered.html

Thanks again

Robert
