Program 21 | Turning Point Finder is a TradeStation EasyLanguage ShowMe study designed to find turning points in price action on a chart. The program works by searching for four distinct chart conditions based on a proprietary combination of the Commodity Channel Index (CCI), stochastics and price momentum. 'Points' are drawn on the chart at the specific bar where the conditions become true. Should the condition cease to be true during the formation of a bar, then the 'point' is removed. Points are NOT drawn historically (i.e. the program doesn't recognize a pivot and then plot it retroactively, hence looking good on a chart but having little practical use). More information may be found in this pdf.

Video demonstration of program 21

This show-me study is demonstrated here:

Inputs

The program has two input settings: Condition3Adj Condition34Adj

As their names imply, Condition3Adj affects condition 3 only and Condition34Adj affects both condition 3 and 4.

Condition3Adj should be set to a value between 0 and 100. Condition34Adj may be set to any positive integer values. For the examples shown in this document the inputs are set as follows: Condition3Adj - 85 Condition34Adj - 100

Increasing the values will reduce the number of ‘points’ displayed on the chart. It is up to the user to determine which values produce the most acceptable results. Condition1 and Condition2 are not affected by the input values.
