hello sirs, i have a couple of formulas from the net for bearish engulfing exploration. Column A: CLOSE Column B: Volume Mov(V,70,S) Filter: EngulfingBear() AND ROC(C,60,%)>15 AND BarsSince(Stoch(9,1)>90)<=3 AND Year()=1997 ( source - www.paritech.co.uk) This one comes up empty after a scan. I tried changing the year to 2011, but that didnt help either. Are there any other values to change....i mean...month, date? if yes what values need to change?
This other formula I got from this site - http://www.traderji.com/...-candlestick-plugin.html
In coloumn A type: O > C And Ref(O,-1) < Ref(C,-1) And C < Ref(O,-1) And O > Ref(C,-1) And H > Ref(H,-1) And L < Ref(L,-1) Now go to filter and type ColA The explorer is ready
this one does a decent job, but scans thrice thrice number of stocks you have in your list. (if you have 1000 stocks it shows you it is scanning 3000 and in the results you have each stock listed thrice. Some thing wrong somewhere for sure. This second exploration is good and results are few but quite precise, if not for the above problem. btwn if anone one has a formula and could share it with me, i'd be grateful. thanks savoy

When my indicator doesn't give results I usually split the criteria into separate
variables like:

a1:=EngulfingBear() ;
a2:=ROC(C,60,%)>15 ;
a3:=BarsSince(Stoch(9,1)<10) ;
a1*a2*a3

then go through plotting a1,a2,a3 separately to find out the problem variable. A3 was
the problem and only by switching the sign did I get results??
