[amibroker] Re: scan for trading ranges?

2006-12-28 Thread carlacash26
I would define a trading range like when price has bounced between a 
support and a resistance line X number of times over a X period of 
time. How would you define it?

Is there any code available for anything like this?

 Is it possible to scan a large number of stocks to get a list of 
those
 who are currently in a trading range? Or is this very hard to
 accomplish? Are there any code available of such?

Hello,

Instead of using Support / Resistances points which are different to each 
scrip, I would say that you better check out Boilinger Bands and Keltner Bands 
and see how you can code using them for determinnation of Trading Ranges.

Cheers

I never use them in the traditional sense... so i am not familiar with them
but given two levels it would be very easy to list the stock witin the
range. I suspect you may find that the definition f support and resistance
is subject to debatebelow some code by Graham (from afl Library). If you
can determine which lines you want to use it will be easy to write your
exploration.

Or could it be so that a relative high point and a relative low 
point, where prices have been reversing (with some % tolerance) for a 
X number of bars, these high and low points are stored and defined as 
the resistance levels. 

I'm kind of looking into breakouts from ranges.
