Metastock Formula Help

#1
Hi Guys,
I hope there are some Metastock Formula Pro's here cause i really need help with this one.

I want to % increase today compared to yesterday in a column. Close to close.

Then the % increase for yesterday compared to the day before yesterday in another column. Close to close.

My purpose is to determine the level of momentum continuity.

Thanks in advance guys :)

Open an explorer and put the following:
ColA:
If(ROC(C,1,%) > 0, ROC(C,1,%),0);

ColB;
If(Ref(ROC(C,1,%),-1) > 0,Ref(ROC(C,1,%),-1),0)

Please read the formula premier the next time.

Hi all,

Can anyone help me with this.. I have been trying to program a system in metastock from the past one week but it seems i am heading no where.

can someone please let me know the code of the formula used for checking this condition:

If the stocs (14,5) are below 20 on a 5 minute chart and below 20 also on the 10 minute and the 15 minute chart as well. Then only it should give a buy signal.

The database I am using has 1 minute intra-day bars.

This seems to be the limitation of Metastock at this time. Its programing language does not have inbuilt function to perform calculation on different timeframes. I faced the similar problem on daily /weekly/monthly timeframe.
Currently I am managing with manual workaround. I have created 3 explorer xxxx-monthly, xxx-weekly and xxx-daily. While creating explorer, it is possible to select timeframe from OPTION button.
On dayend, I save the results of first explorer in a folder, and supply this folder as input to 2nd explorer and so on.

I know this is inefficient, but serves my purpose for the time being. I am certainly looking forward for solution if other members on this forum post it.

Also heard, that EQUIS has very good support / forum etc It might be worth checking with their helpdesk if they have any solution.

Happy trading.
