@halcyonguy this is pretty cool but I'm having trouble isolating the scan code for just those that cross above or below the given interval say 5 or 10 for example. Any help would be much appreciated! Thanks!i was looking around the site and found this post. thought someone might find this useful, so i made these.
the rules i followed for these studies.
specify a price multiple: 0.50, 1.00, 2.50,...
find the price multiple closest to the close
specify a price range: 0.05 , 0.25,....
check if the close is within the price range of the price multiple
i didn't test the lower study as a scan
Chart:
i made a chart study first, so i can see what is happening, to verify the code is working.
in this and the others, 2 numbers are entered
input price_multiple = 0.50;
input price_range = 0.05;
a line is drawn for the price multiple level.
a chart bubble is drawn that displays the price difference of the close to the price multiple.
the bubble is colored based on
if close is within the range of the price multiple, then green
if close crosses above the multiple then cyan
if close crosses below the multiple then yellow
else gray
