Dear all,
I am looking for a filter that returns the number of occurences of a series of 3,4,5,6,7,8,9 green(or red) candles over the last n-days. If for example, the filter returns only one occurence of a series of n-candles in the last n-days (lets say 1000 days, appr. 3 years) there is a great probability that the next candle will be of the opposite color.
so far I managed to identify a series:

Fetcher[
set{daily_diff, close - open}
show stocks where daily_diff has been below 0 for the last 5 days
and open has been decreasing for 5 days
]


Many thanks for your time.
Ludo

As an example this will show you stocks that had 9 straight green candles in a row. It ill also show you a histogram of the number of green candles in a row.

Fetcher[
set{var1,count(close > open,9)}
var1 > 8
]



If you prefer an oscillator instead of a histogram:

Fetcher[
chart-time is 1 year
set{var1,count(close > open,9)}
var1 > 8
draw var1 line at 9
]

Thank you Xarlor. I managed to add a column that counts the number of occurences. But there seems to be a limit in number of days in history.
Fetcher[
chart-time is 3 year
set{var9,count(close > open,9)}
var9 > 8
draw var9 line at 9
add column count(var9 > 8,250)
]

Yes, SF has a limit of 1 year's worth of trading days (252 days) on any single indicator. You have to do some trickery to include multiple years.

Here is your filter that gives the number of times there have been 9 green candles in a row within the last 4 years (1008 trading days). A result of 1 means this is the first time it has happened in 4 years. The results are sorted from lowest number of occurrences to highest.


Fetcher[
chart-time is 3 year
set{var9,count(close > open,9)}

set{y1,count(var9 > 8,252)}
set{y2,count(var9 1 year ago > 8,252)}
set{y3,count(var9 2 years ago > 8,252)}
set{y4,count(var9 3 years ago > 8,252)}

set{z1,y1 + y2}
set{z2,z1 + y3}
set{z3,z2 + y4}

var9 > 8

add column y1
add column y2
add column y3
add column y4

add column z3 {No times in last 4 years}

draw var9 line at 9

sort by column 9 ascending
close 3 years ago > 0
]

You can only have count occurrences up to 100.

From Stockfetcher indicators:


Count -- Occurrences

Parameters Indicator,period
Period Limit 100
Usage count(indicator,length)

Hope this helps
