 Cacher, Chetron, Kevin_in_GA
 
 I finally worked out the bugs in the Value Charts from the book "Dynamic Trading Indicators."  I haven't figured out how to make it clickable.
 
 /* Calculate FLOATING AXIS*/
 SET{VAR1,HIGH + LOW}
 SET{VAR2,SUM(VAR1,5)}
 SET{FLOATINGAXIS,VAR2 / 10}
 AND ADD COLUMN FLOATINGAXIS
 
 /*Calculate VOLITILITY UNIT*/
 SET{DIFF1,HIGH - LOW}
 SET{DIFF2,SUM(DIFF1,5)}
 SET{VOLITILITYUNIT,DIFF2 / 25}
 AND ADD COLUMN VOLITILITYUNIT
 
 /*Calculate VALUE CHART HIGH*/
 SET{VALUEHI,HIGH - FLOATINGAXIS}
 SET{VALUECHARTHIGH,VALUEHI / VOLITILITYUNIT}
 
 AND DRAW VALUECHARTHIGH
 AND DRAW VALUECHARTHIGH LINE AT 4
 AND DRAW VALUECHARTHIGH LINE AT 8
 
 /*Calculate VALUE CHART LOW*/
 SET{VALUELO,LOW - FLOATINGAXIS}
 SET{VALUECHARTLOW,VALUELO / VOLITILITYUNIT}
 
 AND DRAW VALUECHARTLOW
 AND DRAW VALUECHARTLOW LINE AT -4
 AND DRAW VALUECHARTLOW LINE AT -8
 
 AND ADD COLUMN HIGH
 AND ADD COLUMN LOW
 AND ADD COLUMN VALUECHARTHIGH
 AND ADD COLUMN VALUECHARTLOW
 
 SHOW STOCKS WHERE VALUECHARTLOW IS BELOW -8
 SHOW STOCKS WHERE CLOSE IS BETWEEN 1 AND 300
 AND AVERAGE VOLUME(30) IS ABOVE 100000
 
 Kevin_in_GA, the buy/sell signals generated are largely in agreement with your Bollinger(16,2.5) entries, although I think Bollinger(16,2) fits better.  Let me know how it works for you.

 Possibly, but to me the important question is which setting generates more profit and a higher reward to risk ratio.  So far, it looks like 2.5 SD works out to be a little better than 2.0, especially when trade costs are factored in.

 ronun ... nice job, interesting results !  I will be watching how it performs ....
 
 to make you screen "clickable" ... begin by typing "fetcher" , then (with no space between) type the  opening bracket   "["    ....... then paste your screen ,,,, then the closing bracket "]"  .... that's it !

 I hope the indicator is working for you, but I don't think you're getting the MEDIAN.  You're getting an average (MEAN).  If anyone knows how to find a MEDIAN using stockfetcher, please let me know.
 
 Obviously, the median is the middle value when you rank all the values.  50% of the values should be above it and 50% below it.  MEDIAN will not be as affected by outliers as the mean will.
