I'm trying to write up a scan..

Anyone know what the definition is of a bar?

Is it a price?

This seems like a good time to show off another BullScan feature:

Say you're doing a weekly scan, and you run it on Thursday afternoon. You can choose to either scan at the close of the last week, or include the current week in progress as the last data point for the scan.

Eg: You might want something along the lines of "the volume for the week currently in progress must exceed the average volume by 100%", etc.

Tick the "Include Incomplete Period" checkbox below the period dropdown to access this feature.

My opening comment to this subject was that I was in the "discovery" mode.

I just discovered how to do what I wanted - change the opening scan requirement from "Daily" to "Weekly"  - problem solved.....thanks again.

Well, I was able to get the Scan operating, just fine....EXCEPT.....I overlooked an important requirement......I was looking to do this on a "Weekly" time basis - not daily. I have noted that in other scans which are produced for weekly charts - they make a note of this somewhere in the "works"

Peter, you may be able to direct me on this important modification.

G'day Simon and Peter,

Many thanks for your prompt helpful suggestions - I will now have a go at it - this is an excellent example of how help from our fellow members ( and staff) will ensure the ongoing success of this great program.

Hi Rhubarb,

The first criteria was easy. It reads:

Close is greater than Moving Average - Exponential (Close, Expontential, 89, 0, 0) Result #1

The second criteria was not so easy, but I think I managed to do it. It reads:

Kilinger Oscillator (13) Kilnger Osc is greater than Kilinger Oscillator (13) Signal.

The key to setting up the 2nd criteria was that under parameters you can select the Oscillator itself or the signal line.

I have attached a screenshot and a copy of the scan I made,

regards,

Simon

(P.S. As always it amazes me at the intuitiveness of this program)

I am still very much in the "discovery" phase with BullCharts - but I like everything about it and what it offers to "seekers of a better way"

I really need some assistance and guidance on how to develop a Scan based on the Klinger Oscillator.

My thinking is that to trade, the stock needs to be above a 89 EMA and then a buy occurs when the KO turns up from under the "0" line and crosses it, whilst the blue signal line crosses ( or has crossed) above the dotted trigger line. Not sure if I am calling these lines by their correct name - hence the line and the dotted line is used.

The above is based on trading the long side - reverse it for the short trading side.

Any assistance ( especially from BullCharts) would be most appreciated.
