Andy: Here are some scanning formulas to compute Dahl(50) and the 21-day moving average of Dahl(50) in Quotes Plus. Amazingly enough, they give values identical to those in WOW.

Here's one for Dahl (it gives the most recent value and the previous value):

//Dahl by Brooke Elise Nagler

//mov(c,days,simp) - ref(mov(c,days,simp),-15)

output="dahl.lst";
//input="ibd.lst";

float a, b, c, d, dahl, prevdahl;

a := movavg(0,50,cl) ;
b := movavg(-15,50,cl) ;
c := movavg(-1,50,cl) ;
d := movavg(-16,50,cl) ;

dahl := (a-b);
prevdahl := (c-d);

println Symbol , "," , "dahl:", dahl , "," ,"prevdahl:", prevdahl;

And here is a formula to compute the 21-day moving average of Dahl:

//21-day MA of Dahl by Brooke Elise Nagler

output="dahlma.lst";
input="ibd.lst";

DaysToLoad=100;

integer j, k;

float f, i, l;

f:=0;

for j=0 to -20 step -1
do
f := f + MovAvg(j,50,cl);
next j;

i:=0;

for k=-15 to -35 step -1
do
i := i + MovAvg(k,50,cl);
next k;

l:=(f-i)/21;

println symbol , "," ,l;

And here is a loopy formula for finding when the 21-day MA of Dahl has just crossed up through 0;

//21-day MA of Dahl crossing up through 0 by Brook Elise Nagler

output="dahlup.lst";
//input="ibd.lst";

DaysToLoad=100;

integer j, k, l, o;

float f, i, m, p, dahlma, prevdama;

f:=0;

for j=0 to -20 step -1
do
f := f + MovAvg(j,50,cl);
next j;

i:=0;

for k=-15 to -35 step -1
do
i := i + MovAvg(k,50,cl);
next k;

//for previous day's dahl

m:=0;

for l=-1 to -21 step -1
do
m := m + MovAvg(j,50,cl);
next l;

p:=0;

for o=-16 to -36 step -1
do
p := p + MovAvg(j,50,cl);
next o;

dahlma := (f-i)/21;
prevdama := (m-p)/21;

if dahlma>0 and prevdama<0 then
println Symbol , "," , " dahlma:", dahlma , "," ," Close:", Close(0) , "," , " Vol:", vol(0) , " , " , " PE:", PE , " , " , " QRS:", QRS(0) , "," , " Sharesfloat:", Sharesfloat , "," , description;
endif;

Trendlines... Hope someone can help me with a QP 1.x question.

While charting 500 days of a stock in QP, I drew a long-term trendline which ended near the current day's low. Then I changed to a shorter period (200 days?) to "zoom in" on the chart. The trendline is not visible when zoomed in.

How can I draw a long-term trendline and then do some shorter-period charting with the trendline plotted ?
