hello, I've been away from Metastock for some time and
now returning
1/ i'd like to make an Explorer to
find trading ranges and appreciate this may take a while
my initial try was Col A
- H<=Ref(H,-1) AND H<=Ref(H,-2) ( I was going to
try H<= (Ref(H, -1)*1.1) etc , maybe later )
ColB -- L>=Ref(L,-1) AND L>=Ref(L,-2)
ColC -- Mov(C,20,S)<= L (-- for
good measure, I put in a rising MA )
so I
put ColA =1 AND ColB=1 AND ColC=1 in the filter and got only a
5.5% rejection -- far too many
I was surprised, I thought the rising MA & the Col=1
filter would trim it down a lot
2/ when i want to look at the results of a scan,
click Open Charts, and all the scanned charts are opened
-- what a mish-mash of charts
there was a mixture of Candlesticks, Line ,
Bar etc -- no set type as i thought it should be.
so I put in a new Default template, opened the
default chart and ran the scan , expecting all charts would be the same as
the opened chart-- sadly no-- they were exactly the same, a
mish-mash
so without giving away any "secrets",
1/ I'd appreciate some advice on
how to tighten up my scan
2/ how to have the "result" charts
showing at least all the same, preferably in
line with a template of the scan
thanks Keith
