Syntax
COLx, COLx[n]
Where x is an integer 1 to 999 representing column number and n is an integer representing number of days ago.
Example
Sample code
COL1 = STOC[21,5] ' Entered on the Resources page this would
' assign to Grid column 1, the 5-day exponential moving average
' of a 21-day stochastic indicator.
IF COL1[1] > 80 AND COL1[2] < 80 THEN BUYOPEN
' Here we reference the value stored earlier in column 1.
' Entered on the Entry Logic page this would put you in a long
' trade if the above-mentioned Stochastic value was below 80, 2
' days ago and then crossed above 80 yesterday.
IF COL1[3] < COL1[2] AND COL1[1] < COL1[2] THEN_
COL8 = 1 ELSE IF COL8[1] > 0 THEN_
COL8 = COL8 + 1
' This routine looks for a high pivot in the stochastic line
' whose values reside in column 1.
' When it spots a pivot it resets the counter it keeps in column 8.
' On non-pivot days it checks to see if the counter has already
' started and if so increments it by one.
' Any COL8 value greater than 0 represents the number of days that
' have elapsed since the pivot.

COLx values are normally assigned on the Resources page. Columns typically hold custom user formulas as well as indicator values. COLx values are displayed in the Grid. Each row of a column in the Grid holds data associated with a single day. |
