[EquisMetaStock Group] MACD

["Kees Takkenberg" <c.a.takkenberg@xxxxxxxxx>]

 Hi to you all,

 

When I want to scan a turningpoint in e.g. a MACD ()  I do as follows:

 

Exploration notes  
  
Col A:  MACD<0  { only MACD's <0)}

 

Col B:   MACD()>Ref(MACD(),-1) 

Col C:   Ref(MACD(),-1)<Ref(MACD(),-2) 

Filter :
colA=1 
 AND  
 colB=1 
 AND 
 colC=1 
  
This is for the more skilled among you perhaps a bit simple, but it works for me.

 

My question is:

 

Sometimes the results of a scan are right but I want the values to have a bit more difference!

 

E.g. The result of a scan yesterday (end of day data) was IHI

The MACD-value (the custom MACD of Metastock) of IHI

 for 12/2/2010 was 0.217

for 11/2/2010  0.23371

for 10/2/2010  0.22490

 

So the values represent the above scan.

Difference between 0.217 and 0.23371=0.01671

Between 0.23371 and 0.22490 =0.00881

 

Those differences are so small that the MACD in those three days, plots like

one horizontal line.

( Sorry, it is not the plot that I want different. For when I zoom- in I think I will see a more diverse one!).

But I would like the values to have more difference!

 

So how can I change the formula to get only those items (stocks,ETF's or whatever) which have a greater difference when I scan?

Let's say a difference of about 0.1 or more?

 

Regards,

 

Kees.
