This is my first experimental SF script using the "Count" feature. I can get my desired results with the MA50 count, but the script falls apart when I try to add an RSI14 (and total-- either 0, 1 or 2) count. Here is my script. Any suggestions?


Fetcher[
dow 30

add column ma(50)
add column rsi(14)

/*MA(50) check*/
set{ma50_check,count(close is above ma(50),1)}
set{ma52,ma50_check*1}
add column ma52{ma50_count}

/* RSI check */
set{RSI14_check,count(RSI(14) is above 49.99),1)}
set{RSI15,rsi14_check*1}
add column RSI15{rsi14_count}

set{Total,ma52+RSI15}
add column total
]

Retyped from scratch and simplified variable names.
Removed 'multiply by 1'

Fetcher[
add column separator
set{x, count(close > ma(50),1)}
add column x {ma50}

set{y, count(rsi(14) > 49.99,1)}
add column y {rsi14}

set{total, x + y}
add column total

add column ma(50)
add column rsi(14)
DOW 30

Thank you, FOUR. Mission accomplished. I added a 3rd indicator (MACD-histogram) to the total mix, using your flow of SF script. I really wanted the MACD-PPO, but the script didn't like it. That's OK... because all I need is when either MACD number is positive or negative. It's the "crossover" that I am concerned with.

As you know, the MACD-Histogram and MACD-PPO [Percent Price Oscillator] have identical crossover points (Histogram is in $ and cents amt; PPO is in % amt).

It is my understanding that...
PPO = MACD histogram(12,26,9) divided by EMA(26).
I use the PPO number in a report I produce so I can compare different stocks on an apples-to-apples basis. Histogram doesn't allow a good comparison... but it works fine on an individual stock.

Without your assistance, I would not have figured out how to make Count work in my desired manner. THANK YOU.

You are very welcome.

I had to check your statement about them being the same and found they are not both MA nor both EMA.

From Indicator page in StockFetcher :

The Percent Price Oscillator (PPO)

is computed by taking the difference between two simple moving averages.
