Im trying to figure out the next step in this formula but not being successful.

I'd need to find which is the greater of the variables below. Thanks much

set{td1, todays high - todays low }
set{td2,todays high - yesterdays close}
set{td3,yesterdays close - todays low }

Fetcher[set{td1, todays high - todays low }
set{td2,todays high - yesterdays close}
set{td3,yesterdays close - todays low }
try this.

set{x, max(td1,td2)}
set{higher_one, max(x,td3)}
add column higher_one
add column td1
add column td2
add column td3
]

pa247, StockFetcher doesn't like your syntax. Use this instead:

Fetcher[
set{td1, high - low }
set{td2,high - close 1 day ago}
set{td3,close 1 day ago - low }

set{x, max(td1,td2)}
set{higher_one, max(x,td3)}
add column higher_one
add column td1
add column td2
add column td3
]

Filter works fine. Look at the columns. Use as you intended.

a few observations:

a. I don't believe the last filter posted is working as intended as the phrase "yesterdays close' seems to be interpreted by SF as today's closing value.

b. if you add columns for each of the values used in the computations you'll see what I mean, (high, low, close 1 day ago, yesterdays close, todays low, etc.)

c. It looks like pa247 is calculating Wilder's True Range for the most current day, a simpler approach might be to use SFs Average True Range function with a period of 1 day:

ATR(1)

with the added benefit of making the filter much shorter.

Hope this helps,
Ed S.
