Weak Or Strong Stocks How To Identify Them In Real Time ( Down Loadable Code )

I'm new to this forum and Tradestation (as of yesterday) so apologies for the basic nature of this question and if it has already been covered elsewhere (can't find anything).

I've downloaded the code and imported the indicator successfully into TS. I have set up my Quotes page with $INDU stocks. My problem comes when I attempt to add Iraj's indicator. I assume that I need to use the 'Insert Analysis Technique' option, however the indicator isn't in this list?

Probably a very simple resolution but I have spent ages fiddling around with no success!

Thanks in advance.
I don't know if you have Tradestation 8.3 or 2000i. Assuming you have successfully imported the indicator then you are correct in how you insert it. Make sure, however, that you have selected ALL or INDICATOR as shown in the attached, otherwise you won't see it in the list.

If this doesn't work I would suggest you import the file again

Thanks for your help Charlton. I'm actually using Tradestation 8.4. Will try switching to 8.3 and see if that solves it.

Cheers
 
Simcom - is TS 8.4 officially release yet or were you trying the beta ?

Any improvements over 8.3 ?
 
off topic slightly....seems alot of people here have ts 2000i, as opposed to ts 8.

why? are there any advantages?
 
Enclosed find the code to identify the strong or weak stocks intra day ,,

Settings are 10 min and 14 ATR

Radar screen on 1 min

The code tells you how much each stock gains or losses intra day last past 10 min ,

This is how you use the code

Step 1 you sort the CENTS fromn highest to lowest,, Use Auto sort for every 5 seconds then you donot have to keep sorting it manually .

Step 2 you look for a period that INDU 1 min goes through consolidation .( from INDU chart )

Step 3 you then identify which stock gained most when INDU was consolidating .. This is your strong stock ,,

There are two ways of using this code,,
a) Time between 3.30 UK time -7.30 UK time .

a) Oscillatory Trading ……During this time market often oscillates, Hence most of the stocks . you wont expect trending stocks and even if they do trend the trend does not last long enough for you to make $$ hence ,There for you do not go for catching the trend , you go for shorting rallies and buying dips. The rallies can happen in stocks which are in negative or positive in the day ,, ( the code shows them as ABOVE or BELOW ).. Shorting the stock that are in positive for the day is more rewarding but more risky ,, (shorting the stocks that are in negative is less risky but less profitable. ) // I leave this choice to yourself , This technique is Anti Trend and you are continuously scalping the rallies ,, so do not expect major return.. I often take 20 Cents with large positron size as you all have seen in my TRADE LOGS.


b) Trend Trading … You can use the code to identify the strong and weak stocks and instead of SHORTING the rallies you can LONG the strong stocks on a pull back ( TREND TRADING ) . The pull back is defined by 1 MIN MACCI being OS when 10 MIN INDU is OS on 10 min time frame . To use this to catch the trend you need to confirm a few times to make sure the stock is strong in nature rather than getting hit by a spike from a program traders,, IN another word when market turns around all program traders hit the market and as a result all stocks Spike ,, you don’t want to give credit to any stock being strong if they just gained CENTS when program trader hitting the broad spectrum of the stock. The advantage of Trend trading is you can use much lesser position size and let the inherent trend to prevail and pay you in a longer time. Trend trading is far better than oscillatory trending and is more suitable to most new traders.
Using a) needs fast finger with fast , decisive attitude ,, b) is more relaxed as you going for the trend and it could take hours before you eventfully enjoy the trend ride ,,



You can also sort the stocks based on their ATR ..


There are many other ways of using it and i leave this for you to experiment with it


Please donot not pass the code around ,, Thx
