pyrri, Welcome to the Forum. I hope you find the information in this peer-to-peer support network useful. Although many of the people here have awesome in-depth knowledge of TA, it is not possible that everyone knows everything. Many people do not use flag patterns, and hence have no idea what your ''high and tight'' pattern is. I certainly ...

Well it would take a lot of time to code the instructions as per http://mysite.verizon.net/resppzq7/htf.html and I am sure that it throw up a large number of false positives.

Have a look at this: http://mysite.verizon.net/resppzq7/htf.html One more thing about this pattern is that usually it forms after a flat base.

Thanks for the quick reply Steve B. I've done what you said, and copied and pasted it into the filter section of the exploration and clicked ok.

CN, Jose, many thanks for your replies. In addition to the breakout from basing consolidations example I posted I foresaw other applications if it was possible to what I was hoping, so if anyone does know how to do this please don't hold back from posting. trying to keep this thread alive............... I am wondering if this (very good) breakout

Jose -- Elegant simplification!  If I read it right: 1.  ''Init'' is true ONLY on the 1st valid entry OR exit, on-or-after the 50th data point. 2.  ''Flag'' can only be 0 for exit ''season'', or 1 for entry ''season'', on-or-after either is valid, due to use of ''IsDefined'' through ''init.'' But, how to stay ...

RCM- I think I'm confusing myself and you too... I'm only a novice code writer. What I had in mind was to plot a weekly close and calculate the ATR based on that. I suppose that it can be done in different ways, though. The ATR Chandelier Exit code above adds a bit of simplicity to it, but it still isn't simple. BTW, that code is not ...

this should now be the corrected formulas for the exploration MetaStock exploration for system to detect flag and pennant patterns Column A Name: Price Formula: C Column B Name: Pole Top Formula: zz:=Zig(C,17,%); X:=BarsSince(ZZ < Ref(ZZ,-1)AND Ref(ZZ,-1) > Ref(ZZ,-2)); X1:=LastValue(X)+1; c2:=Ref(HHV(C,(2+X1)),-1);C2 Column C

Henry, That seemed to take care of it as I did not get any more errors but here is the whole thing in case you see anything else wrong with it: MetaStock exploration for system to detect flag and pennant patterns Column A Name: Price Formula: C Column B Name: Pole Top Formula: zz:=Zig(C,17,%); X:=BarsSince(ZZ < Ref(ZZ,-1)AND Ref(ZZ,-1) >

May have answered my own question.  Forgot the INIT for ''signal'': *CODE* Buy:=Cross(RSI(14),30);Sell:=Cross(70,RSI(14));init:=Cum(IsDefined(Buy+Sell))=1;flag:=ValueWhen(1,Buy-Sell<>0 OR init,Buy)*2-1;If(flag<>Ref(flag,-1),flag,0); */CODE* Seems to display correctly.

Hi Kusal,Regarding your time frames, you shouldn't have any problem running a simultaneous mixture of time frames, ranging from tick charts up to 1, 5 minutes, days etc.I don't know if your going to build this PC yourself, so here's a few ideas to keep in mind.    Looking at your specs I'd say that the DDR3 memory will definitely be ...

Thanks Veritech for the definition.  but however, not as easy to formulize as it looks.  I do think John's is a very good effort towards that goal.  what I posted before about the flag & triangle, that should have read 'flagpole & triangle'.  the flagpole being the approaching rise (how else are you going to get that ...

in general terms then, what would the ideal Rascke formation look like on chart?  given that there are certain specifics re DI & MA, but other than that are we looking for a Flag & Triangle pattern?  because this has proved quite valuable in the past, when it works (not all the time).  Linda's way might be designed to remove ...

Raymond   There are several ways to check the date of the last bar of data. One method that I sometimes use samples the date of the last bar of an index or security that is known to be current.

From what you've described, the RMO sounds like a blackbox system; that's enough to set off ''be careful'' alarms all by itself.I did watch the intro video you linked; interesting, but doesn't tell us anything about how it works.  Additionally, searching Dogpile and Google have turned up nothing about RMO; another caution flag.Is the RMO ...

But as Jose has correctly pointed out, there is a disconnect between what you think you wanted and what you have coded! You want : ''I am trying to flag when a bar crossed over moving average yesterday'' You coded: ''What you have coded is for the variable to have a value of 1 when the midband (which is the Pds EMA) crosses up through the ...

yes; you can make a custom dll to alert, though I don't know of any current code examples in the public domain. The easiest way to do what you are saying is to write an indicator that will flag your condition on the screen with a binary-type output. Alternatively, you could use a DDE link to Excel and set your alert condition there. In Excel, ...
