Traders want to catch the momentum, which turns the trade profitable quite quickly which is a satisfaction in itself for the traders. When the trend heats up many traders want to follow the breakouts or breakdowns of important levels in the price history. Two such levels which are looked keenly by traders are the Highest High and Lowest Low made in the previous 3 days of the current day.

  3. Hi Aryan,

    Thanks a lot for all your effort in sharing so much knowledge with us. I have one query - do you have any afl/exploration which will keep on running the whole day and give the sound alert whenever the intraday volume of any stock > last 7 days / 1 month volume ?

    Please let me know if you this stuff in your treasure.

    Thanks again.

    Cheers :)

    1. Hi Nayan,

      You mean you want to scan for the current day in Real Time on several stocks for this condition or you want to backtest on this condition for historical data?

      Happy Trading !!

      Aryan

    2. Hello Aryan,

      I was trying to modify your code to backtest the scenario mentioned above (open GT high of last 3 days).

      Session= TimeNum() >= 091500 AND TimeNum() <= 091600;

      Buy = iif((doo > maxh)&&Session,1,0); "Modified the buy and sell condition
      Sell = iif((doo < minl)&&Session,1,0);

      Filter=((Buy = 1) OR (Sell = 1)) ;

      But when I click on New Analysis window, it shows me all the dates in the scanner for the symbol.
      May I request your help to know what I am doing incorrect here.
      Sorry I am not a coder, I try to google some sample codes which may help.

      My apologies if I may be bothering you with this request.

      Thanks

    3. HI Nayan,

      I was suffering from viral flu for last many days so couldn't look at things at all. Now I would try to have a look at your requirement in a couple of days as the body recoups the lost energy . :-)

      In the above query when you are scanning, if you want the scan for a particular day then choose the scanning condition i.e RANGE --> From To Dates . Maybe in your case the Range --> All Quotes is chosen. In From to Dates choose as the current date in both the boxes.

      If this solves your purpose do tell me.

      Have a Nice Time.

    4. Hello Aryan,

      Thank you for the prompt response. Do take good care of your health.
      Whenever you recover fully and have some spare time, may I please request you to guide me on the following requirement:

      I am currently focusing on the banknifty. Have data on it for the last 10 years.
      So wanted to scan all the days during the last 10 years when the daily open was above the previous 3 day high or below the previous 3 day low.

      Session= TimeNum() >= 091459 AND TimeNum() <= 091559;

      Buy = iif((doo > maxh)&&Session,1,0);
      Sell = iif((doo < minl)&&Session,1,0);

      Filter=((Buy = 1) OR (Sell = 1)) ;

      This code inserts the buy and sell arrows on the charts, but in the analysis window when i click on Scan, it just gives me crazy results.

      I have applied it to the current symbol and put a from and to date range there, still does not work well.

      Thanks a million Aryan for considering my request.

      Thanks
      Nayan

    5. Hello Nayan,

      What Time Frame you chose in the Settings window of New Analysis which is meant for backtest ? If it is showing correct arrows that means the code is near to be correct for backtest as well.

      Happy Times ..

      Aryan.

    6. Hello Aryan,

      Thanks a lot for this input.
      I corrected the time frame in the settings and it works like a charm.

      Much appreciated.

      Wish you a speedy recovery.

      Thanks

  7. Instead of 3 days high and low Could we use any day which we want this high and low just put that day like 3 or 4 or 7 and line will drawn i think that system is flexible so that user just have to change day whatever they want could please do that. Other everything is good and thanks for this coding its really helpful.
    Thank you.
