Let's assume for our example that you would like to set
the box size to $0.25 for stocks trading under $5, $0.50 to stocks
trading between $5 and $20, and to $1.00 for stocks trading over $20.
The following scan will accomplish this.
SET(BOX, (CL < 5) * 0.25 + (CL >= 5 AND CL < 20) *
0.50 + (CL >= 20 * 1.00))
The token "BOX" refers to each symbols Box Size.
"Box Size" is also a column that you can add to any quotepage and adjust
manually. Both Point and Figure charts, and the Point and Figure
technical indicator, have an option to "Use Box Size of Instrument".
When this checkbox is checked, the instrument's box size (which can be
set using the scan above, and seen/adjusted in the "Box Size" quotepage
column) will be used instead of the specific box size given in the
preferences. As you switch symbols in the chart, the box size will
switch to reflect the box size of that symbol/instrument. |
