Ok, thanks Bruce. :)
|
(Q1) In TC, if I have a 10-period moving average on a Daily chart, when I switch to a Weekly view, is that 10-period MA now showing the 10-WEEK average for the past 10 weeks?
(Q2) When creating scans in TC, do I need to use a 50-period average to get the actual 10-week average when scanning for setups on weekly charts? I read somewhere that you have to multiply the averages by 5 when scanning for a Weekly setup, because TC defaults to the daily time frame for all code.
Thanks....

Okay, that should do it, Bruce. It's quite close. When I put up the actual 14-period ATR's closing number and divide it by the last period's closing price... it's off just a little bit from the indicator you made. Example: 2.74 compared to my manual division which yields 2.76. Or for another one, 4.90 compared to 4.97 my manual division.
But as I'm just using it for comparing and sorting various stocks, it looks close enough for rock and roll.
If you do have an answer as to why the little difference, cool, but otherwise I'm fine.

How do I create a condition (or whatever) that computes the ATR as a percent of price.
Example: 10-period ATR value / price.last
But I need this to be a number that can appear in a column, labeled, say: "ATR%".
And, ideally, I would like to be able to edit the ATR period. Is this possible to do? If so, it would be very helpful to me.
Thanks

What would the real code be to create the following condition to use in scans:
A bearish engulfing bar in which the range of today's closing bar (end of day) was greater than the day before's range (ie: today's high was higher than yesteraday's high, and today's low was lower than yesterday's), and, also, today's close was lower than yesterday's close. If I could get that, it would be great.
If the condition could also be written so that, at the same time, today's 7-period Wilder's RSI must be at least 71 or higher (overbought), that would be phenomenal.
And lastly, if another stipulation could be that, ideally, the engulfing bar that shows up in this scan is the highest bar of, say, the last 5 days (editable period of course in case I need to modify it).... then this would be out of this world!!
Thanks in advance.

Thanks as bunch, Bruce!

In SF5, what would the realcode be for a condition to scan for stocks which have pulled back (retraced) from above their 20EMA, down to their 20EMA and have an ADX (14,14) of 28 or better?

In TC, you can hit the minus key and scrunch down the price history. However, in Stockfinder it appears that you can't do that. I have many graphs wherein the price history gets crammed up along the top of the grid... especially stocks that are rising at the present time.
Is there any way to emulate the minus key (and its opposite the shift-plus key) in Stockfinder? Right now, in SF 4 & 5, hittting the minus or plus key is simply another way of scrolling the time line.
Thanks

Bruce, in Stockfinder beta 5, I did what you describe above. Clicked on the moving average of my Volume bars, and created a condition wherein "MovAvg Greater Than" was > 3000.0000, and moving avg period 30.
However the scan results still show some stocks from the Russell 3000 with 30 day moving averages of, for actual example, "54.90K". Others are well over, for example, "554.70K" or "12.01M". So the question is why do the scan results show some stocks with far less than 300,000 volume on 30 day average after running this scan?

What would the RealCode be for the following two separate conditions/scenarios:
First Condition: a 3-day uptrend, with each succeeding day having both higher highs and higher lows, with the last of the 3 days painted a color of some sort
and,
Second Condition: a 3-day downtrend with each succeeding day having lower highs and lower lows, again with the 3rd painting a different color.
I'm setting a trade library, and am in the middle of learning realcode.. but definitely have a ways to go.
Thanks.
P.S. I LOVE Stockfinder... I'm really getting into it now that I have a faster machine.
