[Metastockusers] Finding threshold value for an indicator

["Daniele Bevilacqua" <daniele.bevilacqua@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,
 
in order to decide which threshold to use to 
validate an indicator, so far I have been eyeballing them on charts of a lengthy 
period of time and drawn very empirical (to say the least) conclusions. I 
am wondering if there is a better way to do this - there must be, I 
assume...
 
What I would like to do, is find the 
percentage of time that the indicator in question has been above (or below) a 
certain value for a specific security, eg since Jan 00 the RSI of YYY, Inc. has 
been above 70 only 3.5% of the time. 
 
Even better, what is the value below which fall 95% 
(or 90% etc.) of the observations of the indicator in the time frame 
specified.
 
Any suggestions?
 
many thanks in advance
 
Daniele
