Subject: [EquisMetaStock Group] Jose - having trouble with Williams Osc

Dear Jose:

A while back you provided me with a formula to convert the Williams A/D study into an oscillator. It went like this:

pds:=Input("Normalizing lookback periods (1= historical Hi/Lo)",1,2600,150);
{ Plot 1: Price section }
PriceX:=C;
{ Choose x pds or historical Price High/Low }
Hi:=If(pds>1,HHV(PriceX,pds),Highest(PriceX));
Lo:=If(pds>1,LLV(PriceX,pds),Lowest(PriceX));
{ Price normalized to 0~100% }
PriceNorm:=(PriceX-Lo)/Max(Hi-Lo,.000001)*100;
{ Plot 2: Indicator/Oscillator section }
IndX:=WillA();
{ Choose x pds or historical Indicator High/Low}
Hi:=If(pds>1,HHV(IndX,pds),Highest(IndX));
Lo:=If(pds>1,LLV(IndX,pds),Lowest(IndX));
{ Indicator normalized to 0~100% }
IndicatorNorm:=(IndX-Lo)/Max(Hi-Lo,.000001)*100;
{ Plot in own window }
{PriceNorm;IndicatorNorm}
(IndicatorNorm-PriceNorm)/25

This works perfectly on daily data but, for some reason, when I use the formula in explorer to sift through intrday data I always get an overflow error message. I've tried to modify it but nothing seems to work. Any chance you could help again?

Thanks in advance,

Jim

I've plotted the indicator below on a Euro/USD 1-min chart, but can't see any problems.

I plotted it on a 1 minute chart and couldn't produce an error either.

Dear Jose and Roy:

Thanks for responding guys. I think I did a bad job explaining the problem. The problem is not the daily or intraday plots....the oscillator plots well in daily AND intraday format. The problem is when I use it in the explorer to search for setups. It routinely rejects all of my intraday searches and gives the folling reasons:

Security Name Reason for Rejection Location

DJ06M*60 Error in column A: Invalid time period (zero or negative) passed to HHV() function. C:\MSdata\MsdataFES
DVY*60 Error in column A: Invalid time period (zero or negative) passed to HHV() function. C:\MSdata\MsdataFES
ES06M*10 Error in column A: Invalid time period (zero or negative) passed to HHV() function. C:\MSdata\MsdataFES
ES06M*30 Error in column A: Invalid time period (zero or negative) passed to HHV() function. C:\MSdata\MsdataFES
ES06M*60 Error in column A: Invalid time period (zero or negative) passed to HHV() function. C:\MSdata\MsdataFES
GLD*60 Error in column A: Invalid time period (zero or negative) passed to HHV() function. C:\MSdata\MsdataFES
NDX.X*10 Error in column A: Invalid time period (zero or negative) passed to HHV() function. C:\MSdata\MsdataFES
NDX.X*60 Error in column A: Invalid time period (zero or negative) passed to HHV() function. C:\MSdata\MsdataFES
SPY*10 Error in column A: Invalid time period (zero or negative) passed to HHV() function. C:\MSdata\MsdataFES

* * * * * *

I suspect it may have something to do with the amount of intraday data I have and the parameters of the formula. I get my intraday data from quote.com and I think I only get about 200 bars of data per issue. I tried modifying the "pds" variable, but I can't seem to get any results.

Thanks again for any assistance.

Jim
