Richard, Yes, I will paste my attempts next time..good idea.
<<VariableMA511(C,50)- ref(VariableMA511(C,50),-15)>>
Thanks, this one works for Dahl. I was way off<g> Compared to the original, "Mov(C ,50 ,e)- Ref(Mov(C,50,e),-15)", after looking at about 10-15 charts, and to my beginning eyes, it seems that the variable version seems to pick up the downward trends earlier than the orig.version, though 50/50 on earliest pick uptrend pickups. You agree?
<<You need to put up a price chart of a favorite
stock and apply all 7-8 MAs that MSWIN has with periods set from 5-200 just to see how they react with price.>>
I did this w/ a fixed time,using all types. Am still not sure what to make of it yet though. Are you sugg. sampling fixed intervals from 5-200..say 5,10,20,40 etc in addition? to all 7-8 MA's. If so, that'll take a bit of time.
<< RVAR
periods:=Input("periods",1,244,89);
VariableMA511( MP() , periods) >>
Sorry, I'm not sure what formula this is. But I made it into an indicator though, and it actually looks pretty good when compared to the chart above w. all the other MA's plotted<g>
Thanks for the help Richard, I'm learning an awful lot this weekend as I also finished the MS thread entirely, and have read several chapters of the manual. I'm getting there...or at least somewhere<g>
