Metastock — Formulas New

Most traders look at one timeframe. Professionals look at three. New syntax allows you to pull data from higher timeframes without leaving your 1-minute chart. Security("NASDAQ:MSFT", PERIODWEEKLY, CLOSE)

MetaStock remains an elite platform for multi-asset screening, algorithmic backtesting, and advanced charting.

Here are some conceptual formulas designed to leverage the capabilities of current MetaStock versions. 1. The Volatility-Adjusted Trend Follower (VATF)

Name: Volatility-Adjusted Breakout Signal Lookback := 20; Multiplier := 2.0; UpperBand := Mov(Cl, Lookback, S) + (Multiplier * ATR(Lookback)); LowerBand := Mov(Cl, Lookback, S) - (Multiplier * ATR(Lookback)); BuySignal := Cross(Cl, UpperBand); SellSignal := Cross(LowerBand, Cl); ValueWhen(1, BuySignal - SellSignal <> 0, BuySignal - SellSignal); Use code with caution. Breakdown of the Logic

Define Fractal Pivot Low: Low is lower than 2 bars left and right PivotLow := Ref(L,-2) < Ref(L,-1) AND Ref(L,-2) < L AND Ref(L,-2) < Ref(L,-3) AND Ref(L,-2) < Ref(L,-4); Most traders look at one timeframe

The markets have evolved. High-frequency algorithms, decoupling correlations, and volatility regimes have changed. If you are still using the same code from a decade ago, you are trading with a rearview mirror.

This formula uses a "latch" logic to remember a specific price event—like a breakout—and holds it until a volatility-based stop is hit.

The final line of code without an assignment operator is what plots on your chart. 2. Advanced Multi-Timeframe Momentum Formula -1)) / Ref(C

: Write formulas to scan thousands of securities for specific technical setups.

GapPercent := (O - Ref(C, -1)) / Ref(C, -1) * 100; GapUp := GapPercent > 1.5; VolumeSurge := V > Ref(V, -1) * 1.5; BullFlag := GapUp AND VolumeSurge AND C > O;
