/* Cole Trading Method
/* Developed by Roger Cole
/* From Technical Analysis of Stocks and Commodities, V8:12 (460-463), by Alan Friedman
/* Indicator developed and coded by Marek Chlopek, October 2001
/* Support from Tomasz Janeczko and Amibroker Mailing List members - THANKS!!! */

/* Cole Trading Method description
/* A up signal is formed when a stock makes three Rally Days in a row with larger volume on
each day
/* A down signal is formed when a stock makes three Reaction Days in a row with larger
volume on each day
/* Inside and Outside Days are ignored */

/* **************************************************************************
*/
/* Cole Trading Method Indicator development description
/* Cole Trading Method measures two independent signals: day status (Rally, Reaction, Inside,
Outside) and volume,
/* therefore two independent sub-indicators have been implemented:
/* ColeDay - counts number of days in a row when Rally (positive) or Reaction (negative)
/* ColeVolume - counts number of days with higher volume, always positive */

/* **************************************************************************
*/
/* Cole's Trading Day Status definition */
RY = H > Ref(H, -1) AND L >= Ref(L, -1); // Rally Day
RX = H <= Ref(H, -1) AND L < Ref(L, -1); // Reaction Day
IN = H <= Ref(H, -1) AND L >= Ref(L, -1); // Inside Day
OUT = H > Ref(H, -1) AND L < Ref(L, -1); // Outside Day

VolRY = Ref(V, - BarsSince(RY));

VolRX = Ref(V, - BarsSince(RX));
RYwithVol = RY AND V > IIF(RY, Ref(VolRY, -1), VolRY); // Rally Day with Volume
RXwithVol = RX AND V > IIF(RX, Ref(VolRX, -1), VolRX); // Reaction Day with Volume

/* **************************************************************************
*/
/* ColeDay - counts number of Rally Days in a row (positive) or Reaction Days in a row
(negative)
/* When Rally ColeDay increases by 1 unless the first Rally Day then ColeDay = 1
/* When Reaction ColeDay decreases by 1 unless the first Reaction Day then ColeDay = -1
/* When Inside Day or Outside Day then ColeDay stays unchanged */

PeriodRX = BarsSince(NOT RX);
ColeDay = ValueWhen(RX or RY, Sum(RY, PeriodRY) - Sum(RX, PeriodRX));

/* **************************************************************************
*/
/* ColeVolume - counts number of days with higher volume, always positive
/* When volume higher than previous day volume ColeVolume increases by 1
/* When volume lower previous day volume then ColeVolume = 1
/* When Inside Day or Outside Day then ColeVolume stays unchanged */
