Hi Gang -

I've been away for a while as I gravitated to ThinkorSwims incredible web-based charting and scripting package for most of my high end charting needs.........and then the UNTHINKABLE occurred with Ameritrade completing the buyout of ToS and completely replacing ToS's web charts with their own vastly inferior product. :( 550 indicators and custom scripts reduced down to 20. Boooooooooooooooooo!!!!!!!!

Anywho.....I'm back and I've got some questions. My new favorite indicator is really a stop - the chandelier exit. However Stockfetcher's base implementation doesn't make sense to me.

A) I only ever see it under the price movement (i.e. long bias)
B) It moves with the stock price!

The main point behind the Chandelier Exit is that it gets hung from the highest high of the stock (for a long position) and doesn't retreat when the price retreats. When the price hits the stop, you know to get out. That usually signals a reversal in the indicator and starts calculating the Exit on the other side of the price (long to short, or short to long).

Has anybody coded up a filter that accomplishes this?

I agree the chandelier exit does not seem to work as designed on SF.
I would prefer the Sylvan Vervoort atr exit but can't figure out how to code it.

just download the desktop software ... still has all the indicators, custom scripts & strategies you were used to
