Thanks for doing that pipsqueek.  I use it to confirm entry and exit based on countback theory.  It is only one of the few indicators I use to confirm trends.

Hi

I've changed the input functions to Bullscript, added in a few closing brackets (hope I've put 'em in the right place), deleted some quote marks, made each plot a different colour and basically left the code alone.

The resulting effort certainly plots 2 lines on chart .... does it do what you were expecting????

...and how do you use it??

 

[target=price;color=red]

HighDays := input("Enter # days to cover lastHIGH for CBL calc'n:", 13, 3, 55);

If(HIGH < HHV(HIGH, HighDays), {then ...}PREV, {previous CBLhi, else...} If(Ref(L,-2) < Ref(L,-1) AND

Ref(L,-2) < L AND

Ref(L,-1) < L, {then ...} Ref(L,-2),{2nd day back low, else...}

If((Ref(L,-3)< Ref(L,-2) AND

Ref(L,-3) <Ref(L,-1) AND

Ref(L,-3) < L) AND

(Ref(L,-2)< L OR

Ref(L,-1) < L),{then ... } Ref(L,-3), {3rd day back low, else...}

If((Ref(L,-4)<Ref(L,-3) AND

Ref(L,-4) < Ref(L,-2) AND

Ref(L,-4)< Ref(L,-1) AND

Ref(L,-4) < L) AND

(Ref(L,-3)< L OR

Ref(L,-2)< L OR

Ref(L,-1) < L), {then... }

Ref(L,-4), {4th day back low, else...}

If((Ref(L,-5)<Ref(L,-4) AND

Ref(L,-5) < Ref(L,-3) AND

Ref(L,-5) < Ref(L,-2) AND

Ref(L,-5) < Ref(L,-1) AND

Ref(L,-5) < L) AND

(Ref(L,-4)< L OR

Ref(L,-3) < L OR

Ref(L,-2) < L OR

Ref(L,-1) < L), {then ...}Ref(L,-5), {5th day back low, else...} PREV )))));

 

{and}

[color=green]

{Market closing above is a buy signal}

LowDays := input("Enter # days to cover lastLOW for CBL calc'n:", 13, 3, 55);

If(LOW > LLV(LOW, LowDays), {then ...} PREV,{previous CBLlo, else...}

If(Ref(H,-2) > Ref(H,-1) AND

Ref(H,-2)> H AND

Ref(H,-1) > H, {then ...} Ref(H,-2), {2ndday back high,else...}

If((Ref(H,-3)> Ref(H,-2) AND

Ref(H,-3) > Ref(H,-1) AND

Ref(H,-3) > H) AND

(Ref(H,-2)> H OR

Ref(H,-1)> H),{then ... } Ref(H,-3), {3rd day back high,else...}

If((Ref(H,-4)>Ref(H,-3) AND

Ref(H,-4) > Ref(H,-2) AND

Ref(H,-4) >Ref(H,-1) AND

Ref(H,-4) > H) AND

(Ref(H,-3)> H OR

Ref(H,-2) > H OR

Ref(H,-1)> H), {then... }

Ref(H,-4), {4th day back high,else...}

If((Ref(H,-5)>Ref(H,-4) AND

Ref(H,-5) > Ref(H,-3) AND

Ref(H,-5) > Ref(H,-2) AND

Ref(H,-5)> Ref(H,-1) AND

Ref(H,-5) > H) AND

(Ref(H,-4)> H OR

Ref(H,-3)> H OR

Ref(H,-2) > H OR

Ref(H,-1) > H), {then ...} Ref(H,-5), {5th dayback high,else...} PREV )))))
failing to plan is planning to fail.

Can somebody convert this Metastock code to Bullcharts..

"HighDays := Input("Enter # days to cover lastHIGH for CBL calc'n:", 3, 55, 13);

If(HIGH < HHV(HIGH, HighDays), {then ...}PREV, {previous CBLhi, else...} If(Ref(L,-2) < Ref(L,-1) AND
Ref(L,-2) < L AND
Ref(L,-1) < L, {then ...} Ref(L,-2),{2nd day back low, else...}
If((Ref(L,-3)< Ref(L,-2) AND
Ref(L,-3) <Ref(L,-1) AND
Ref(L,-3) < L) AND
(Ref(L,-2)< L OR
Ref(L,-1) < L),{then ... } Ref(L,-3), {3rd day back low, else...}
If((Ref(L,-4)<Ref(L,-3) AND
Ref(L,-4) < Ref(L,-2) AND
Ref(L,-4)< Ref(L,-1) AND
Ref(L,-4) < L) AND
(Ref(L,-3)< L OR
Ref(L,-2)< L OR
Ref(L,-1) < L), {then... }
Ref(L,-4), {4th day back low, else...}
If((Ref(L,-5)<Ref(L,-4) AND
Ref(L,-5) < Ref(L,-3) AND
Ref(L,-5) < Ref(L,-2) AND
Ref(L,-5) < Ref(L,-1) AND
Ref(L,-5) < L) AND
(Ref(L,-4)< L OR
Ref(L,-3) < L OR
Ref(L,-2) < L OR
Ref(L,-1) < L), {then ...}Ref(L,-5), {5th day back low, else...} PREV )))))"


and

"{Market closing above is a buy signal}
LowDays := Input("Enter # days to cover lastLOW for CBL calc'n:", 3, 55, 13);

If(LOW > LLV(LOW, LowDays), {then ...} PREV,{previous CBLlo, else...}
If(Ref(H,-2) > Ref(H,-1) AND
Ref(H,-2)> H AND
Ref(H,-1) > H, {then ...} Ref(H,-2), {2ndday back high,else...}
If((Ref(H,-3)> Ref(H,-2) AND
Ref(H,-3) > Ref(H,-1) AND
Ref(H,-3) > H) AND
(Ref(H,-2)> H OR
Ref(H,-1)> H),{then ... } Ref(H,-3), {3rd day back high,else...}
If((Ref(H,-4)>Ref(H,-3) AND
Ref(H,-4) > Ref(H,-2) AND
Ref(H,-4) >Ref(H,-1) AND
Ref(H,-4) > H) AND
(Ref(H,-3)> H OR
Ref(H,-2) > H OR
Ref(H,-1)> H), {then... }
Ref(H,-4), {4th day back high,else...}
If((Ref(H,-5)>Ref(H,-4) AND
Ref(H,-5) > Ref(H,-3) AND
Ref(H,-5) > Ref(H,-2) AND
Ref(H,-5)> Ref(H,-1) AND
Ref(H,-5) > H) AND
(Ref(H,-4)> H OR
Ref(H,-3)> H OR
Ref(H,-2) > H OR
Ref(H,-1) > H), {then ...} Ref(H,-5), {5th dayback high,else...} PREV )))"


Have yet to investigate keys differences..


thanks in advance
