I tried to build the SVAPO as shown in Nov 07 Issue of S&C but the code provided was
not full and Final (I guess!!) coz it only plots indicator and not the entry & exit signals also I'm unable to plot the vol. smoothing as shown in Fig 8 page 23 of Nov07 issue of S&C (it osillates betn -1 to 1 or 0 to 1 , I dont hv exact idea, ALSO as Mr,Vervoort (-the author of the article) said that he will cover the entry/exit rules,entry/exit signals,deternination of tgts etc in the next i.e. Dec 07 issue.

So I request anybody who is having the Dec 07 S&C issue with the remaining code or the full code with all above qries covered pls do post the same.

Thanx

ds,

The code was offered here in messages 26388 and 26293. You can also find it in the traders tips section of the magazine.
The December article offered the rules only and they can be found in that article.

SVAPO (SHORT-TERM VOLUME AND PRICE OSCILLATOR)
Editor,

I enjoyed Sylvain Vervoort's article in the November 2007 issue of STOCKS & COMMODITIES on the SVAPO indicator ("Short-Term Volume And Price Oscillator"). I use MetaStock for all my technical analysis and am currently using MetaStock 10.

I have entered all the info for the indicator, and I am particularly interested in the code for the MetaStock Expert that you presented in Figure 8. I like your concept of increasing price with increasing volume and then being able to identify the corrections with decreasing volume for the longs and then doing the complete reverse for the shorts.

Can you tell me what the code is that allows the MetaStock Expert to create the single colored arrows in Figure 8?

Sylvain Vervoort replies:

Please note that all arrows on all the charts in the November 2007 article on SVAPO are put on manually just to show the exact coincidence between price and SVAPO turning points. SVAPO is not meant to be used as a mechanical trading system. Please read how I apply the SVAPO in the December 2007 issue of S&C ("Short-Term Trading With SVAPO").

Of course you could create an expert and an explorer function in MetaStock to give you a signal when SVAPO is turning up or down from below or from above the standard deviation line. But please only use it as a trigger to have a look at the chart.

Do not use it for any automatic buying or selling!

Here is an expert function for such a trigger:
