Rob,

I don't think there's much if any difference. Everything I've posted has been straight from the book... best I can determine it.

Permutations: D says an uptrend turns to a downtrend on the first downbar. That's what I've coded. But 1 thing I've learned playing with his ideas is close price often indicates thrust exhaustion... when close direction is contrary to bar direction. So the mod I suggested is permit 1 downbar during an upswing... if the downbar has a strong close. I'm thinking of a place that could be spliced into the code but it would screw up the inside bars... which btw I prefer a normal inside definition over D's inside.

I don't want to change the book version. In fact I'd like to correct it if it's wrong because I learn from the dynamics he intended. I tried to explain something I've learned. Anyone that want's to can rewrite it and release it as an improvement and I hope some do. I don't mind sharing some thoughts about what's wrong with his method and how to code the changes but I can't put it all together in a package because it's too much work.
