Zahorchak Breadth Signal shown

lmkwin — Tue, 24 Jan 2023 01:46:32 +0000

One of the Breadth indicators on StockCharts is the Zahorchak measure. Greg Morris, a long time contributor on the StockCharts blogs brought this indicator to StockCharts and also provided a revised version as an alternate. You can read more about that here: https://stockcharts.com/articles/dancing/2015/09/zahorchak-measure-ii.html The chart below shows both the 'old' (top panel) and the revised version. The original version ranged from +15 to -15. The revised version goes from +10 to -10. The 'signal' lines are the same. The line chart for VTI is shown in the top panel for observation purposes. You may note that the NYSE version has moved above -6 already on the revised and printed -6 today on the original version. The Nasdaq versions of these indicators hasn't moved above -6 yet.

Breadth Thrust Alert

revblc — Sun, 20 Mar 2022 18:42:10 +0000

Hi guys, I'd like to create a 5 day breadth thrust alert using stockcharts if possible. The formula would look something like this: [[!ADVNYA + !ADVNYA 1 day ago + !ADVNYA 2 days ago + !ADVNYA 3 days ago + !ADVNYA 4 days ago] / [[!ADVNYA + !ADVNYA 1 day ago + !ADVNYA 2 days ago + !ADVNYA 3 days ago + !ADVNYA 4 days ago] + [!DECLNYA + !DECLNYA 1 day ago + !DECLNYA 2 days ago + !DECLNYA 3 days ago + !DECLNYA 4 days ago]]] * 100 > 73.61 ...and I would be alerted when these conditions are met but my syntax isn't correct here... is the formula I'm suggesting possible in stockcharts? Thanks in advance

Twiggs Money Flow

parhole — Thu, 22 Apr 2021 21:17:33 +0000

Stockcharts does not have this indicator; only the CMF indicator which is excellent except that there is a slight difference and I require the Twiggs Money Flow for a course I am doing. Has anyone programmed it into a preset scan that you can share with me? I am not keen to have to download and use another charting service though I do know of a couple that offer this indicator. Thanks.

Open interest based indicators

Newpal — Sat, 12 Dec 2020 22:48:12 +0000

How to make the StockChart developers to listen to our suggestion? After reading Alexander Elder book...I think we need an indicator that is based on option trading open interest plot and also the intra day option volume plot to find ...the price move and the option volume divergence. I like to see this for both intra day and in daily chart plots How to make the StockChart developers to listen to our suggestion?

Tracking Mcclellans intraday - NYSI/summation index

jbj456 — Sat, 16 Mar 2019 10:04:52 +0000

Hey all, I know that the NYSE Mcclellans are usually EOD calculated in stockcharts, namely the NYMO and NYSI (summation). Is anyone aware of a stockcharts intraday (like 30m) symbol for NYSI or a way to calculate? I've figured out that the NYMO/Mcclellan oscillator can be calculated intraday by setting symbol to $NYAD and a MACD indicator with 19,39,1 parameters. Is there a way to use indicators or something else in stockcharts to calculate the summation (NYSI) intra day? thanks in advance

$NYAD/NYUD Intraday value are different from EOD Adjusted

kangxiang2000 — Sat, 16 Feb 2019 10:47:58 +0000

It has been a few month that Advance-Decline indicators, like $NYAD/$NYUD, $AMAD/AMUD, $NAAD/NAUD, have intraday data issue, the intraday data is very volatile and wrong compared with EOD adjusted data, no matter they are minute/hour data. This make these data during trading hour useless. Has anyone noticed this and asked to fix? I remember this started a few months ago, and these intraday indicator became volatile and showed wrong value during trading hour, for instance, $NYUD ranges from -400 to 600 on 2/15/2019, but the intraday value could be over 2000. They only got corrected in a few hours after market close. This means during trading hours, these indicators are useless. It's funny the correct value can be see on chart List Summary but can't be show on the chart. Below are examples. 2/15/19 Intraday chart during trading hour(Wrong data, $NYUD ranges from -100 to 2300): 2/15/19 EOD adjusted $NYAD and $NYUD(Correct data, $NYUD ranges from -425 to 642):

Is it possible to create a custom MACD indicator? Example: 12,42,0 in the form of two exponential averages (12 and 42) as a zero center line oscillator.

NYSE 200-day Market Breadth & Decline Probability

sjds — Tue, 12 Sep 2017 21:42:11 +0000

I was intrigued by the preponderance of on-line news stories regarding Tom Lee's "near-perfect" indicator for 4% or greater market declines in the S&P 500 over the coming month--a decline in the number of NYSE stocks above their 200-day moving average to 50% of the total NYSE stocks. https://www.cnbc.com/2017/08/28/an-indicator-with-a-nearly-perfect-track-record-is-predicting-a-stock-market-pullback.html It looks like this number is tabulated differently on stockcharts.com than on barcharts.com. But any thoughts on this indicator? I'm looking for someone with a quantitative bent to backtest what market-breadth might predict about the S&P 500 (whether certain levels are associated with veritable probabilities of declines. Of note, CXO Advisory recently posted an article indicating these appears to be a near-futile enterprise, but the 200-day of all NYSE stocks was not part of their examination so far as I can tell.

Short strategy

ratbhatt — Mon, 11 Sep 2017 17:45:26 +0000

Hello, I had a good success with my Swing long strategy and was tinkering with short setup. The requirements are as below: Short Close < 24 day Ema. Close crosses down MA(high, 10) from up. RSI 4 < 50. Macd 3,12 histogram current period less than previous period . Adx 5 > 35 What I am struggling with is the MACD Histogram settings. What I have written so far is below // set stock universe [Country is US] and [type = stock] AND [group is not ETF] and [name not contains "Trust"] and [name not contains "Notes Due"] and [name not contains "Shares"] and [name not contains "Fund"] and [ TODAY CLOSE < EMA (24, CLOSE)] AND [ TODAY CLOSE x SMA(10, HIGH)] AND [RSI(4) < 50] AND [MACD Hist(12,3) < 1 day ago MACD Hist(12,3)] AND [ADX Line(5) > 35.0] AND [SCTR > 70] RANK BY SCTR Is this correct? specifically for the MACD HISTOGRAM piece?

TRIN vrs TICK

JJJJ — Thu, 10 Aug 2017 15:59:09 +0000

I am observing the TICK values are currently consistently below zero which is consistent with the current downturn. However the TRIN is below zero and going down. All I have read about TRIN is that if it is below 1 and down trending, that is a positive sign for money coming into the market. There appears to be a divergence between the two indicators. Can someone shed some light on this ?

Very basic question
