Re: smfPricesBetween() appears to be subtracting dividends from High

..hmmmm...you're making some strong points to consider...

The original Turtle Trader rules definitely didn't have to worry about splits or divs since they were trading futures.

Thanks for pointing me to the line of code if I decide to use non-adjusted.

Enjoy the weekend and thanks again.

Randy - First I would like to say what a great piece of development the add-in and follow up on this group is, really amazed.

Secondly - A question for all members. I was also using quite a few of the stockhouse indicators that are now 'moved'. I have found work arounds for most of the ones I was using except the 1 / 2 day support / resistance. Which I think are very useful.   While looking for suitable alternatives I noticed that Barchart on their cheat sheet have this page http://www.barchart.com/cheatsheet.php?sym=MMM. 
Does anyone know If I wanted to configure the addin to pull say the one and two day pivot prices from this page which documentation should I read?
The RCHGetelementnumber already supports the other technical pages from barchart i.e http://www.barchart.com/technicals/stocks/MMM (#'s 1215 - 1284) and http://www.barchart.com/opinions/stocks/MMM (#'s 702-717) to  so I am thinking this should be fairly easy for me to configure for myself (if they dont already exist).

I did try to figure it out prior to this note but could not quite get to grips with how the code worked. i.e. to configure the url get and post and then assign it to an element number (I am a coder but a  VBA developer I am not).

Many thanks

N

Looks like they dropped the data elements. What used to be a "technical analysis page" is now an "analysts' page":

Greetings, is any one besides myself unable to extract data from StockHouse?  Specifically item numbers 802, 825,790 and 789.  I have been using this data for quite a while but it has began returning error messages recently.  Just wondering if it is on my end or if others are having the same problem.

Try something like:

Value Formula 81.59 =RCHGetTableCell("
http://www.barchart.com/cheatsheet.php?sym=MMM",1,"2nd Level Resistance")
81.03 =RCHGetTableCell("http://www.barchart.com/cheatsheet.php?sym=MMM",1,"1st
Level Resistance") 79.45 =RCHGetTableCell("
http://www.barchart.com/cheatsheet.php?sym=MMM",1,"1st Level Support")
78.43 =RCHGetTableCell("http://www.barchart.com/cheatsheet.php?sym=MMM",1,"2nd
Level Support")
