Bob,
I reviewed quickly the csv file I created last
night to see the occurrences of H==L and V== some value. You seem to be correct
for the vast majority of situations, i.e., the volume is a round number, like
2,400; 40,800, etc., suggesting one big trade either by a mutual fund or a high
flyer trader. However, not all were that way. Sorting on volume in descending
order, the top 2 occurrences were V= 2,900,812 (VRTS on 10/12/94 when the
price was only 0.36) and V= 1,995,873 (XTO when the price was 2.07). There
were other isolated instances of big volume and no evidence of a round lot type
of number. But, again the vast majority were round numbers. <FONT
face="Times New Roman">So, there were instances that didn't look like a single
large trade, but I agree they still could have been. Thanks.
AV

Re: [amibroker] H=L and V=0
Thanks, Bob, for the explanation of
what data vendors do for V==0 days. I didn't know that. My list, too, was
originally created using ma(V,50)>250,000. Your explanation for days when
H==L AND V==0 is good and I feel confident in deleting those days completely
[Bob
Jagow] I don't see the point in deleting
them
<SPAN

you?).<SPAN

<SPAN

those majority of days when H==L, yet the volume was normal. <SPAN
class=385243314-04072003>[Bob Jagow] I
don't agree that the volumes were "normal" Many were round lots and 25% had
V <= 1000.
<SPAN

real trading days? What does it mean when the high and low are the same and
the volume appears normal? <FONT

trade. That's why I commented that the 25% " clearly could have been a
single transaction".
<SPAN

do we just assume them to be correct and go our merry way?

Most
vendors set O = H = L = C == Ref(C,-1) for zero-V days,
Al.
To do
otherwise would trash most indicators.
<FONT face=Arial
color=#0000ff>
I also
use QP2 so ran your scan on a watch list of stocks with MA(V,10)
>250K.
<SPAN
class=315273903-04072003>This 1301-stock
list had 22452 errors; 5152 with V==0.
Of the
remaining 17,300, 4300 had V <= 1000 shares; these
clearly could have been a single transaction.
I'm
therefore not surprised by the overall % errors he two tests
showed.

Thanks, Graham. I use QP2 EOD data, so
I thought the QP2 folks eliminated what you call 'padded' data. I'll
write them an email and ask.

Sounds
like your data you receive is padded, ie non traded days are included
in the data as zero volume and the C = yesterdays close with
o=h=l=c
This is
common in Australia to use this form, but I don't know if used
anywhere else.

amibroker@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxSubject: [amibroker] H=L and
V=0
Hi, everyone:
Tonight, I thought I'd do a quickie exploration of a watchlist
containing almost 800 stocks (range setting on all quotations). I
was interested in finding out how many times the high was equal to
the low or the volume equaled 0. I used the following
exploration:
Buy=Sell=Short=Cover=<FONT
color=#ff6820 size=2>0;Error =
H==L OR
V==<FONT face="Microsoft Sans Serif" color=#ff6820
size=2>0<FONT face="Microsoft Sans Serif"
size=2>;AddColumn<FONT
size=2>(H,"H"<FONT
size=2>,1.2<FONT
size=2>);AddColumn<FONT
size=2>(L,"L"<FONT
size=2>,1.2<FONT
size=2>);<FONT face="Microsoft Sans Serif" color=#0000ff
size=2>AddColumn<FONT face="Microsoft Sans Serif"
size=2>(V,<FONT face="Microsoft Sans Serif" color=#ff00ff
size=2>"V"<FONT face="Microsoft Sans Serif"
size=2>,<FONT face="Microsoft Sans Serif" color=#ff6820
size=2>1<FONT face="Microsoft Sans Serif"
size=2>);AddColumn<FONT
size=2>(Error,"Bad Price
Patterns",<FONT color=#ff6820
size=2>1);<FONT
face="Microsoft Sans Serif" size=2>Filter=Error><FONT
face="Microsoft Sans Serif" color=#ff6820 size=2>0<FONT
face="Microsoft Sans Serif" size=2>;
To my surprise, I found over 13,000 instances of H==L and
almost 2,700 instances of V==0. On the days when V==0, the H and L
were also equal. So, those days were truly bad data (or non-trade)
days. However, in the other 10,000+ instances when H==L, there was
legitimate volume, sometimes high volume. What does it mean when the
price bars are all equal (O=H=L=C), yet volume was finite?
