Cacher, Chetron, Kevin_in_GA

I finally worked out the bugs in the Value Charts from the book "Dynamic Trading Indicators." I haven't figured out how to make it clickable.

/* Calculate FLOATING AXIS*/
SET{VAR1,HIGH + LOW}
SET{VAR2,SUM(VAR1,5)}
SET{FLOATINGAXIS,VAR2 / 10}
AND ADD COLUMN FLOATINGAXIS

/*Calculate VOLITILITY UNIT*/
SET{DIFF1,HIGH - LOW}
SET{DIFF2,SUM(DIFF1,5)}
SET{VOLITILITYUNIT,DIFF2 / 25}
AND ADD COLUMN VOLITILITYUNIT

/*Calculate VALUE CHART HIGH*/
SET{VALUEHI,HIGH - FLOATINGAXIS}
SET{VALUECHARTHIGH,VALUEHI / VOLITILITYUNIT}

AND DRAW VALUECHARTHIGH
AND DRAW VALUECHARTHIGH LINE AT 4
AND DRAW VALUECHARTHIGH LINE AT 8

/*Calculate VALUE CHART LOW*/
SET{VALUELO,LOW - FLOATINGAXIS}
SET{VALUECHARTLOW,VALUELO / VOLITILITYUNIT}

AND DRAW VALUECHARTLOW
AND DRAW VALUECHARTLOW LINE AT -4
AND DRAW VALUECHARTLOW LINE AT -8

AND ADD COLUMN HIGH
AND ADD COLUMN LOW
AND ADD COLUMN VALUECHARTHIGH
AND ADD COLUMN VALUECHARTLOW

SHOW STOCKS WHERE VALUECHARTLOW IS BELOW -8
SHOW STOCKS WHERE CLOSE IS BETWEEN 1 AND 300
AND AVERAGE VOLUME(30) IS ABOVE 100000

Kevin_in_GA, the buy/sell signals generated are largely in agreement with your Bollinger(16,2.5) entries, although I think Bollinger(16,2) fits better. Let me know how it works for you.

Possibly, but to me the important question is which setting generates more profit and a higher reward to risk ratio. So far, it looks like 2.5 SD works out to be a little better than 2.0, especially when trade costs are factored in.

ronun ... nice job, interesting results ! I will be watching how it performs ....

to make you screen "clickable" ... begin by typing "fetcher" , then (with no space between) type the opening bracket "[" ....... then paste your screen ,,,, then the closing bracket "]" .... that's it !

Fetcher[


put your code here ... it won't be "clickable until you post or preview, that's when SF formats it as clickable and displays the magnifing icon with it.

I hope the indicator is working for you, but I don't think you're getting the MEDIAN. You're getting an average (MEAN). If anyone knows how to find a MEDIAN using stockfetcher, please let me know.

Obviously, the median is the middle value when you rank all the values. 50% of the values should be above it and 50% below it. MEDIAN will not be as affected by outliers as the mean will.
