RE: [amibroker] formatting exploration output

["Graham" <gkavanag@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

You could try this

Filter= StochRSI < 70;
Addcolumn(stochrsi,"stochrsi",1.1);

This will filter out all stocks above 70.

Or if you want the actual sell point highlighted
Filter= cross(70,stochrsi);
Addtextcolumn("Sell cross","sell")

Cheers,
Graham

Subject: [amibroker] formatting exploration output


First a few words of explanation of what I want to do.  I have 4-5 
indicators that I want to test against the close or against various
fixed 
levels.  If the test is true I want to output a short piece of text
only, 
like " <70 sell?".  Visualize a spreadsheet like grid of stock symbols
down 
the left, column headings of the 5 tests across the top, and a few
sparse 
entries indicating only the sell logic hits for easy readability.

This could possibly be done in a commentary, and that might be of some
use 
when browsing random stocks, but I want to apply it to my list of
current 
holdings each night for possible sell signals.  An exploration seems
like 
the better choice for that.

So, the questions.  How do I test for a condition and output the short
text 
string under the appropriate heading in an exploration?

I tried this:
IIf( StochRSI < 70, AddTextColumn("< 70 Sell ?","StochRSI"),Null);

But it is not appropriate for repetitive symbols as the whole column is 
full of "< 70 Sell ?" strings.

Can I do something like:
IIf( StochRSI < 70, Column0 = "< 70 Sell ?",Null);

Or am I hopelessly confused and need some other approach?

Ideas?

TIA
Sid
