I'm trying to see if there's a way to show how many days a stock has shown up on a filter other than downloading a .csv file and putting it into a spreadsheet (which is not difficult but why do it that way if I don't have to, right?). I was looking at the Days Since indicator but I don't think that would work for this purpose. Has anyone else tried to put this in a filter, and if you were able to, would you be willing to share how? Thanks.

Visually

1. run filter
2. click historical (found under stock name)

CB - Chubb Limited
3m, 6m, 1y, 2y, historical

3. chart displays an indicator (triangle) each time the stock matched the target filter over the last year.

Four.. kinda related. Is there a way to get a CSV of say the past month of hits on a filter all in one file so I can import them into a spreadsheet? Basically I manually backtest my filters entry by entry day by day. The CSV is great for one days worth of data but is there a trick to get a mass period of time together in one CSV?

Visually by chart



Fetcher[
/*
Use SET with COUNT:
1 returned for each line that is TRUE
0 returned for each line that is FALSE
*/

/*FIRST LINE: low crossed above 50 becomes:*/

set{low50, count(low crossed above 50,1)}

/*SECOND LINE: rsi(12) above 60 becomes:*/

set{rs12, count(rsi(12) above 60,1)}

draw rsi(12)
draw low50
draw rs12
add column low50
add column rs12

/*add the set statements*/

set{sum1, low50 + rs12}

/*Only display charts when both lines in filter are TRUE for the displayed day*/

add column sum1 equals 2
]

I don't believe it is possible in StockFetcher.

I should have stated we only see "historical" as Four described it when we are in chart mode.

In table mode, if you have 'Quick Links' activated you'll see historical to the far right, if you don't have Quick Links activated you have to click on the Settings icon to the far right for each stock.

Hope this is clearer,
Ed S.

@Lapre506,

I believe if you add the following line to Four's latest example filter you will get a table column showing the total count for all of the times a given stock which meets his filter today, has met that same filter in the past year.

add column count(sum1 equals 2, 252)

If you want the count for a month, replace the 252 by the # of trading days in the past month.

It appears that Count will only go back 252 days when used in this manner.

Ed S.

Thanks for the reply. But that's not really what I am trying to accomplish. Basically I wanted to know if there was a way to download a CSV of the hits over the past 1-2 months of a filter so I could import it into a spreadsheet with 1 CSV file. Currently when you you click download CSV you only get the entries for that one day in a file. I wanted the past 2 months consolidated into one file so when I go to backtest my filter in a spreadsheet I'd already have all the entries.

But doesn't look like there is a way. So back to manually entering all the data :(
