HI
WHILE READING FORMULA PRIMER I THINK THERE IS A MISTAKE. MIGHT BE I AM WRONG AS I HAVE JUST STARTED LEARNING THAT. BUT PLEASE CORRECT ME IF I AM WRONG.

THE MISTAKE I FEEL IS IN EXERCISE 5 FORMULA 8
THE FORMULA MUST BE ((C-O)/O)*100

B'COS WE ARE ASKED TO GET % CHANGE IN A DAY FROM PREVIOUS DAYS CLOSE TO TODAYS CLOSE.
SO ASSUMING PREVIOUS DAY'S CLOSE AS TODAY'S OPEN, I WOULD HAVE WRITTEN THE FORMULA THIS WAY.
AS I DONT KNOW HOW TO FIND PREVIOUS DAYS CLOSE SO I ASSUMED IT TO BE OPEN TO SHOW WHJAT I WANT TO SAY. SO PLEASE GUIDE ME TO COMPUTE PREVIOUS DAYS CLOSE AND CORRECT ME IF I AM WRONG ANYWHERE.

THANKS AND REGARDS
NAVNEET

NAVNEET I THINK YOUR CAPS LOCK KEY IS STUCK ON PERMANENTLY AND THE OPEN IS NORMALLY NOT THE SAME AS THE PREVIOUS CLOSE. #-o


HEY... WHY IS IT SUDDENLY SO QUIET IN HERE ? :eek:

Yea, those caps are hard to read... it feels like someone is yelling at you or something. =;
Hey, I told ya'll... J has a sense of humor! I'd answer that question about why it is so quiet, but it'd be wrong. I'll wait for the multiple choices. :P

Try something like this... it's just an example: ((c-ref(c,-1))/c)*100

hi mr jose
i am sorry, i didn't knew about this thing that caps lock means yelling.
also stockman sir u r formula has one more fault left the formula should have been divided by previous days close.

so it should have been ((c-ref(c,-1))/(ref(c,-1)))*100

i think this is the right formula to get roc between two days exactly

any mistakes then pls corect and inform me. thanks

((c-ref(c,-1))/ref(c,-1))*100

Oops... you're right!

For 2 day ROC, check out this simpler method: ROC(C,2,%)

hi again
while readin formula primer i have found some mistakes there.
earlier also i noticed one error and informed and now again i found one error. hope that i am correct this time too.
the error is in formula number 16 and 17 of formula primer.
the error is
formula 16 :oops:
If(RSI(14)>70 OR ROC(C,3,%)<-5,1,0)
rather it should have been
=D>
If(RSI(14)>70 OR ROC(C,3,%)>=5,1,0)

formula 17 also same sign problem with ref function.

if i am wrong then pls keep me informed as i am new to formula writing and reading formula primer for first time and really enjoying to learn this very good and easy language of metastock. also i would like that whatever mistakes we are finding and they are really mistakes then they must be corrected and new formula primer must be made with errors removed.

thanks and reagrds always
navneet :D

can any one please explain me why these are true
see chapter 2 review question 3
part 1 and part 4
my view is 1 assume true or false says false then there is and true so it means false and true so how it can be possible , it will always be false.

same is with 4 part

pls solve it
thanks
navneet

Navneet, the convoluted puzzle that you have kindly presented us, reminds me of one of those Zen stories that have an impossible solution - they are designed to quieten the mind. :eek:

Fortunately we happen to have a Zen specialist right here that may be able to help you.
Mr Turtle, can you be of any assistance please?

Jose... Jose... Jose... Do I need to join the local fire department for additional training? :roll:

The sample formulas 16 & 17 are supposed to show a drop of 5%, not an increase. A drop would be a negative ROC.

see chapter 2 review question 3 part 1 and part 4

Somewhere in the stack of posts, Wabbit wrote a mini-intro into logic. You'd have to mine through his posts to find it.

(true OR false) AND true
true or false evaluates true. Then, (true) and true evaluates true

(true OR (false AND false)) AND (true OR true)
Complete the inner most parenthesis statements first.
false and false evaluates false. Then you have (true OR false) AND (true OR true) left.
true OR false evaluates true; and, true OR true evaluates true. Finally you have true AND true remaining. This is also true.

hi again
while reading further i must appreciate and thanks to the person who made(formula primer) such a easy way to learn language of meta stock. but while studying i have found some errors in it, kindly correct me if i am wrong.

error 1
if we have to found that closing price has fallen from previous close then i think roc must be negative, if i am right then formula 26 page 47 is not doing that. rather it is finding both ways whether up or down but our requirement was roc is negative. so here it is

(ROC(C,1,$)>=1)

it should have been (ROC(C,1,$)>=-1)

error 2
formula 27 page 48
if i know then ref function uses data array and periods. but in formula 27 we forgot periods in mov average see that.

(Ref(C,-1)< Ref(Mov(C,40,E))it should have been
(Ref(C,-1)< Ref(Mov(C,40,E),-1))

forgive me and pls guide me to right path if i am wrong.
thanks as always in advance

Hey Happy,

re: Error 1
You can prove your suspicion in Explorer:

Code:

Col A: Ref(C,-1)
Col B: C
Col C: ROC(C,1,$)
Filter ColC <=1

re: Error 2
Just remove that fragmented 'ref' reference.
Should be: (ref(c,-1)<mov(c,40,e)) AND (c>mov(c,40,e))
