Fibotrader is available as a completely free version. It is as strong as Amibroker. This has one limitation: The only data source available is the manual ASCII import.

As soon as the trial period of Fibotrader has expired, the program switches to the free mode automatically. Besides the data sources all other functions remain available without restrictions.

Tip: Software-Updates can be downloaded as usual through the AutoUpdate or from the website. This way you can always use the most up-to-date version of Fibotrader.

Some characteristic of Fibotrader is given below:
1. Powerful charting
2. Automatic strategy backtesting and optimization
3. Custom scripting
4. Portfolio management
5. Spreads
6. Watchlists/Alarms
7. Powerful filters
8. Multi-user support
9. statistical analysis

Fibotrader : System requirements

Internet connection
Internet Explorer 6

Hi! Soumya,

Need your help ...

What I want to do is run a scan for "the high of a candle to be higher than the high of the previous candle" on the weekly charts for the last "x" number of days.

I have created a template. But when I run the filter, I do not get any results. Attached is a screenshot of the template that I have created. Could you please tell me where I am going wrong.

Also, if you could please clarify one doubt on creating templates ...

For a Buy condition to be fulfilled, does one have to create an entry rule and add some indicator beneath the chart (in the object tree)

Are them some guidelines that one needs to follow to create templates. It would help us non techies in the future also.

Thanks & regards,
Amit

Hi! Fibotrader,

This is from a thread by karthikmarar, who is really good at what he does. The url of the the post is

http://www.traderji.com/technical-an...nalysis-9.html

The post is at the bottom of the page. Am attaching the chart & the afl that Karthik has uploaded for your reference.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Karthik's Post

I would like to share one such idea with you all. I often thought it would be a good thing if I can see the “trendiness” of the stock by just looking at the charts and not look through the ADX, DI+, RAVI or some complicated method. I could have an indication on the charts, may be a moving average, which can tell me if the market is moving sideways or is trending. Thus was born my Adaptive Moving average based “Trend Check Signal”.

This Moving average would follow the close price when the ADX value moving up. But when the ADX is down the moving average is clamped to a fixed level. In other words the moving average remains a straight line when the ADX is down indicating a sideways market. When the ADX is moving up, in other words the stock is trending up or even down the moving average tracks the price. Once this moving average is plotted in the price chart we have easily have an idea whether the market is trending or ranging by looking at this line.

We can even use the RAVI instead of ADX. RAVI reacts fasters than ADX.
I am enclosing a chart to show the Adaptive Moving Average, which I call “Trend Check”.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Let us continue with the logic and codes for the Adaptive Moving Average based Trend Check.

For that we first look at the EMA formula briefly

EMA today = Sc ( C-EMA(-1))+EMA(-1)

Where Sc is the smoothing constant
C is today’s close
EMA(-1) is yesterdays EMA

SC is expressed as 2/(n+1) where n is the time period of the EMA.

In adaptive Moving average the Smoothing constant is changed based on other factors like volatility.

Here what we are trying to do is adjust the moving average based on the ADX or RAVI.

When the ADX/RAVI is above 20% of the recent range (Here last 20 days) the constant becomes equal to 2/(n+1). So the Moving average becomes equal to a EMA.

When the ADX/RAVI is below the 20% then the constant become equal to the ADX range value. Below 20% of the recent range means the

ADX/RAVI value is low and the constant tends towards zero and the EMA becomes equal to yesterdays value. This continues as long as the ADX/RAVI remain less than 20%. So the line becomes almost constant when the ADX/RAVI is below 20% of the recent 20 days range.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Would it be possible for you to please help the users of Fibotrader with the above. It would be really useful to us. As Karthik has suggested, RAVI would be preferable to the ADX.

Awaiting your reply ...

Thanks & regards,
Amit

Hi! Soumya,

Thanks for your reply. Ran a filter based on the template that you have uploaded.

2 Stocks that come to my mind straight away that are not getting picked up are 'CUMMINSIND" & "GESHIPPING". Both the stocks had a higher high on Friday as compared to Thursday.

Have also uploaded the Wipro chart that you have attached with the arrows pointing towards the candles that have not got picked up. Any solutions to this.

Would be grateful if you could please help...

Thanks & regards,
Amit
