Re: Parabolic Formula

Heidi, I don't know if you've gotten any replies off line on this one, but here's one way to do it: To screen for your conditions, you have to create a new exploration.  In one of the columns of the explorer, you would place the following in the dialogue box XDN:=SAR(0.02,0.2)>C; Cross(Sum(XDN,4)=4, 0.5) I've used a "sum()" function to make sure that I don't capture situations where the Parabolic SAR flipped five days ago, but within the following four days flipped back.  The 4 in the second line suggests that the closing price has been below the Parabolic SAR for 4 days; you can change these two 4's to any number you prefer. For a stock that's just changed to a close above the Parabolic SAR use CROSS(CLOSE, SAR(0.02, 0.20)) in another column when you build your exploration.  I haven't had a chance to test these out yet, but that's the gist of what you would use.

Also, stocks which just became a buy by trading above the SAR today (previous day it traded below). Thanks so much.
