RE: [amibroker] Problems with Foreign()

["Paul Ho" <paultsho@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

There are many possible reasons for this to happen, and it is impossible to guess what it is. What I can suggest is a way to find out what causes the problem yourself.

Create an exploration usng addcolumn to list out the value of V, do that on various symols that you would view from. including the ticker ~AdvIss itself, and find out what sort of volume you would get. and take it from there.

Subject: [amibroker] Problems with Foreign()

Hello all,

I am using Foreign() to calculate STIX (an advance/decline stat). I have already used AddToComposite to count advances and declines over a certain group of stocks and store that info in the volume for ~AdvIss and ~DecIss.

Here’s my problem: if I plot one of those composites using Foreign(“~AdvIss”, “V”), the output depends on which stock I am viewing in my main chart. For some stocks, I get the actual volume number stored in ~AdvIss; for the rest, I get zero.

What am I doing wrong here?

Thanks,

Ed
