I want to add a column which will display 5% lower value from todays close. If todays close is 100 than this column will show 95. Thanks for your help

I want another column showing last close minus 0.5 times 10 period atr and this value should be deducted from last close, so if a stock closed at 50 and its close - 0.5 * atr(14) is 0.66 it should show 49.34. I have tried but no success. Thanks

/*
WEFP on June 16, 2017
Close = 50
ATR(14) = .12
*/

close equals 50
set{x, .5 * atr(14)}
set{y, close - x}
set{z, close - y}
add column atr(14)
add column z

Looks like all you need is to "add column y" rather than "add column z".

However, your request was this:

I want another column showing last close minus 0.5 times 10 period atr and this value should be deducted from last close

Which is what column z provides. I think you wanted

close - (0.5 * ATR(10))

which is the underlined part of your request, but that is not what you asked for.

What will be correct syntax if I want an indiocator below or above a certain value for 3 consecutive days such as Bollinger %b(20,2.0) less then 0.1 three days in a row, or rsi(3) less then 25 two days in a row or vice versa. Thanks
