Historical Variables you can use.

ChartSmart Professional is an upgrade to our current version of Chartsmart. The cost is an additional $20 per month Cdn.

To learn more on our standard version of ChartSmart you should see our videos. Please note that if you go to HELP and ABOUT CHARTSMART and upgrade to version 3.1, then all users will be able to use ChartSmart Professional feature free until June 1, 2005.

ChartSmart Professional allows you to download Backtest Files and do screens on variables, not only in the present, but also in the past. This enables a user to actually specify the direction of a trend indicator. For example, one could not only specify that the RSI 14 is over 70 but also that 4 days ago it was under 50 and 8 days ago it was under 40 and so on. The following are the variables that are available in backtest files that can be used as historical variables. Specifically you can put a number in front of the variable to make the new variable. For example, 5issued would be the issued cap 5 days ago or 7close would be the close price 7 days ago. In most instances you will use variables such as open, high,low, close, trades plus the indicators such as rsi14, sma10, and so on. Note that the fundamental variables ARE NOT generally included in this list. They are primarily for technical indicators.

This filter contains the change in ON BALANCE VOLUME Values. On Balance Volume is basically created by adding the volume for a day to a cumulative total if a stock goes up and subtracting it from the total if it goes down. As as a result the theory is that if it is on an uptrend then the trading volume is increasing as is the price indicating accumulation. Similarly, on a downtrend the volume traded is in conjunction with declining prices. The values for these filters are the CHANGE in the OBV VALUE over 10, 20, 30 and 50 days. For example to specify that the OBV had declined at least 50% in the last 30 days you would specify:

OBV30<=-.50

a) OBV10 -Change in OBV value from 10 days ago
b) OBV20 -Change in OBV value from 20 days ago
c) OBV30 -Change in OBV value from 30 days ago
d) OBV50 -Change in OBV value from 50 days ago

This filter contains Bollinger Band Values. There are 3 durations as you can see in the filenames below being 10, 20, and 50. BOLUP refers to the upper Bollinger Band and BOLDN refers to the lower Bollinger Band. The values for these criteria are based on where on the price scale the Bollinger Band is relative to the price. The following is the formula we use to specify how much the closing price is below the upper Bollinger Band:
last>=boldn20+100/100*(bolup20-boldn20).and.bolup20<>boldn20

a) BOLUP10 -Price Location on Chart of Upper 10 day Bollinger
b) BOLDN10 -Price Location on Chart of Lower 10 day Bollinger
