RE: [EquisMetaStock Group] Problem using barssince()

["Richard Dale" <richard@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Dear Robert,

 

The use of CUM(1) is quite helpful here:

 

First we set our condition.  This says that can tell us if today is the highest high:

todayyearhigh := H > Ref(HHV(H,253),-1);

 

Next we define daynum - this increments by 1 per bar on the chart. 

daynum := Cum(1);

 

Now we combine the two and check the difference between the daynums between different year highs:

ValueWhen(1,todayyearhigh,daynum) - ValueWhen(2,todayyearhigh,daynum);

 

Have a play with the formula - it does reset itself.  eg.  On GE, on both Thursday and Friday it has made two consecutive higher highs for the last year.  Therefore the above formulae now shows it as "1" because that's how it's defined.

 

Best regards,
Richard Dale.

Subject: [EquisMetaStock Group] Problem using barssince()

I would like to count the bars since the last new 
high.
I use HHV(H,253) to find a year-high and Ref(HHV(H,253),-1) to find 
the year-high not including today.
Running the Explorer on 11/4 data GE 
made a year-high yesterday at 
$35.09.  The previous year-high was (not 
including 11/4) was $34.57 
on 1/28/04.
Does anyone know how to use 
barssince() to report the number of days 
(bars) between these two 
values?
Or, is there another way to measure bars (days) between events or 
bars between 
dates?

Thanks
Robert
