 This indicator needs daily bars and must start
 at some time in the past, let's say 1 year ago.
 
 At one year ago, plot equals mid point of high and low.
 For each day, if the high is above the plot,
 then add (high-plot) /2 to the plot.  And if low is below
 the plot then subtract (plot-low)/2 from the plot.
 
 The result is a plot which shows the 50% retrace
 point for the current price level.
 
 My goal is to screen for stocks with a high distance
 from the 50% retrace level.

 How to create my custom Retrace Indicator?

 Welcome to sF
 
 I am not an expert at retrace trading, but do you need to create your own custom Retrace Indicator
 to do all this:
 
 At one year ago, plot equals mid point of high and low.
 For each day, if the high is above the plot,
 then add (high-plot) /2 to the plot. And if low is below
 the plot then subtract (plot-low)/2 from the plot.
 
 
 in order to get to this:
 
 The result is a plot which shows the 50% retrace
 point for the current price level.
 My goal is to screen for stocks with a high distance
 from the 50% retrace level.
 
 
 Personally, I just look for a simple way to do things, and then enjoy the better things in life.
 Here is a 50+ retrace over 52 weeks filter by Railwhore that might be a good start for your project.

 If you've had experience with trading retrace, please share your tips.
 I am always for learning some new skills.
 
 Good luck with your custom building.

 Last week, when karennma gave us a tip about re-entering ZM,
 I tweaked Railwhore's 50%+ retrace filter like this and use it for short-term decision support.

 I don't remember who posted this originally, but the DMA 5% filter picked it a few days ago also.  I find this a good filter for pullbacks.

 /*Go long when DMA IS 5% above price AND when you see a reversal signal at the bottom i.e "Doji", "D-cross","B-Thrusting Line",or exhausted volume spike.
 The trend is confirmed(add to position) when the ema(3)crosses above DMA, and start taking profits when ema(13)crosses above DMA.*/

 Wow, thank you, snappyfrog.
 I'm a fan of DMA, ema 3, ema 13 for many years but somehow I've missed this gem.
