Gann Swing Update

This is an update to Gann-Swing indicators I had posted several months
back. Most of the code has been improved and I have modified the swing
definition slightly.

Gann Weekly Expert Instructions

1. First create a new expert and name it whatever you want.
2a. under "trends" tab put this code for bullish:
ut:=FmlVar("GANN-Trend","TDV");
uplot:=If(BarsSince(Ut=1)<
BarsSince(Ut=-1),1,0);
uplot=1;
2b. and this for bearish:
dt:=FmlVar("GANN-Trend","TDV");
dplot:=If(BarsSince(dt=1)>
BarsSince(dt=-1),1,0);
dplot=1;
Then click on the "ribbon" option and turn off "Display Vertical Lines", I
also turn off
the corner option.
3a. Under highlights tab create a new and call it "HiLo Change", choose
color, and enter this code:
HLd:=If(CLOSE>Ref(Mov(H,3,S),-1),
{then}1,
{else}If(CLOSE<Ref(Mov(L,3,S),-1),
{then}-1,
{else}0));
HLv:=ValueWhen(1,HLd<>0,HLd);
HLv<>Ref(HLv,-1);
3b. Create new and call it "Up-Trend", choose color, and enter this code:
ut:=FmlVar("GANN-Trend","TD");
uplot:=If(BarsSince(Ut=1)<
BarsSince(Ut=-1),1,0);
uplot=1;
3c. Create new and call it "Down-Trend", choose color, and enter this code:
dt:=FmlVar("GANN-Trend","TD");
dplot:=If(BarsSince(dt=1)>
BarsSince(dt=-1),1,0);
dplot=1;
4a. Under "Symbols" tab create new and call it " UpSwing", enter this code:
FmlVar("GANN-Swing","SD2")=1;
then under graphic choose "Buy Arrow", choose color (Dark Green), and small

size, then pick "Above Price Plot".
4b. Create new and call it "DownSwing", enter this code:
FmlVar("GANN-Swing","SD2")=-1;
then under graphic choose "sell arrow", choose color (Dark Red), and small
size, then pick "Below Price Plot".
As for the HiLo ....just plot it as a regular indicator and choose the last
"style" option under "color/style" tab.

Note: For daily bar charts ribbon use these formulas:

2a. ut:= FmlVar("GaW-Trend","TDV") ;
uplot:=If(BarsSince(Ut=1)<
BarsSince(Ut=-1),1,0);
uplot=1;

2b. dt:= FmlVar("GaW-Trend","TDV") ;
dplot:=If(BarsSince(dt=1)>
BarsSince(dt=-1),1,0);
dplot=1;

Gap Days

Shows stocks which have gapped up or down on the open compared to yesterdays price.
The search returns 1 for Ok and 0 for not ok.

GapUp()

Gap Trading

Here is the gap-trading system code for use in Equis International's MetaStock software. For
practical reasons, the system has been defined as an indicator rather than a system,
showing the cumulated profit.

dn:= 1.0;
up:= 1.0;
gap:= 100*(OPEN - Ref(CLOSE, -1))/Ref(CLOSE, -1);
prf:= If(gap>=up, OPEN-CLOSE, If(gap<=-dn, CLOSE-OPEN,0));
Cum(prf);

)

Gap Up Formulas

The MetaStock formulas to calculate these percentages are shown below. The
first input is the minimum gap (e.g., 1%), and the second input is the gap
increment (e.g., 1%, which would give you a range of 1-2%). To calculate
gaps down, change the percentage to a negative.

Formula to determine whether the closing price is equal to or exceeds the
opening price on a gap day:

MinGap := Input("Minimum gap to consider (%)",-10000,10000,1);
GapIncrement := Input("Gap Increment (%)",0,100,1);

LookingForGapUp := MinGap >= 0; LookingForGapDown := MinGap < 0;

{ Gap percentage }
Gap := (OPEN - Ref(CLOSE,-1))/Ref(CLOSE,-1)*100;

NumGaps := If(LookingForGapUp, Cum(Gap >= MinGap AND Gap < MinGap +
GapIncrement), If(LookingForGapDown, Cum(Gap <= MinGap AND Gap > MinGap -
GapIncrement),0));

If(LookingForGapUp, Cum(If(Gap >= MinGap AND Gap < MinGap + GapIncrement,
If(CLOSE >= OPEN, +1,0),0)),

If(LookingForGapDown, Cum(If(Gap <= MinGap AND Gap > MinGap - GapIncrement,
If(CLOSE <= OPEN, +1, 0),0)), 0))/NumGaps*100;

Formula to determine whether the daily range crosses the previous day’s
close on a gap day:

MinGap := Input("Minimum gap to consider (%)",-10000,10000,1);
GapIncrement := Input("Gap Increment (%)",0,100,1);

LookingForGapUp := MinGap >= 0; LookingForGapDown := MinGap < 0;

{ Gap percentage }
Gap := (OPEN - Ref(CLOSE,-1))/Ref(CLOSE,-1)*100;

NumGaps := If(LookingForGapUp, Cum(Gap >= MinGap AND Gap < MinGap +
GapIncrement), If(LookingForGapDown, Cum(Gap <= MinGap AND Gap > MinGap -
GapIncrement),0));

If(LookingForGapUp, Cum(If(Gap >= MinGap AND Gap < MinGap + GapIncrement,
If(LOW <= Ref(CLOSE,-1), +1,0),0)),

If(LookingForGapDown, Cum(If(Gap <= MinGap AND Gap > MinGap - GapIncrement,
If(HIGH >= Ref(CLOSE,-1), +1, 0),0)), 0))/NumGaps*100;

Formula to determine whether the following day’s open continues the gap
trend:

MinGap := Input("Minimum gap to consider (%)",-10000,10000,1);
GapIncrement := Input("Gap Increment (%)",0,100,1);

LookingForGapUp := MinGap >= 0; LookingForGapDown := MinGap < 0;

GapYesterday := (Ref(OPEN,-1) - Ref(CLOSE,-2))/Ref(CLOSE,-2)*100;

GapYesterday < MinGap + GapIncrement), If(LookingForGapDown,
Cum(GapYesterday <= MinGap AND GapYesterday > MinGap - GapIncrement),0));

Guppy MMA Exploration from Trading Tactics, part 2

create the INDICATORS first before running the exploration. Also, depending on your system

Guppy MMA Indicators

(Note this is not the same as the formula given in Trading Tactics. Daryl Guppy)

Try MMA (Multiple Moving Averages). The shorter ones are closer to the
action and the longer ones tell you about the trend. I use two indicators
like this:

Name: MMA Long Term
--------
Mov(C,40,E);
Mov(C,45,E);
Mov(C,50,E);
Mov(C,55,E);

Name: MMA Short Term
--------
Mov(C,5,E);
Mov(C,8,E);
Mov(C,11,E);
Mov(C,14,E);

In the current market I like taking short momentum trades where the MMA
Short is bouncing up off a slowly rising MMA Long Term. The exit at the top
of the bubble is indicated by MMA Short turning down after a good separation
from the underlying MMA Long.

from Jeff Lederman.

{Suggestion: Create a single TEMPLATE with all the above indicators, giving
SHORT and LONG MMAs separate colours; e.g., RED for the SHORTs and BLUE for
the LONGs.}

Genesis of a Simple Futures Trading System

It’s quite easy to use MetaStock for Windows to duplicate the Genesis of a Simple Futures
Trading system which is presented in the TASC May 97 issue's interview of Jay Kaeppel. In
MetaStock for Windows, choose System Tester from the Tools menu. Click on the New
button and enter in the following rules:

Signal Formulas

Enter Long
Cross( Mov( Close,9,S), Mov( Close,50,S)) And Close > Mov( Close,80,S)

Close Long
Cross( Mov( Close,50,S), Mov( Close,9,S)) And Close > Mov( Close,80,S)

Enter Short
Cross( Mov( Close,50,S), Mov( Close,9,S)) And Close < Mov( Close,80,S)

Close Short
Cross( Mov( Close,9,S), Mov( Close,50,S)) And Close < Mov( Close,80,S)

When testing futures in MetaStock it’s best to use a "points only" test. To do this, choose
Options from the System Tester dialog and then Points Only Test from the Testing page.

To use The Explorer to screen for futures generating a recent signal with this system,
choose The Explorer from the Tools dialog and enter in the following rules:

Column Formulas

Column A: Buy Sign
Cross( Mov( Close,9,S), Mov( Close,50,S)) And Close > Mov( Close,80,S)

Column B: Shrt Sig
Cross( Mov( Close,50,S), Mov( Close,9,S)) And Close < Mov( Close,80,S)

Filter Source

Filter Enabled: Yes

Formula: colA = 1 OR colB = 1

Next choose Explore and The Explorer will search for and then display any futures, which
have generated new signals.
