Brooke,
Re "Which version is the closest to the original? I think I like 0 to -55
since 0 represents the most recent day and -60 takes us back to the
13th week.",
isn't it a tossup in that -55 fails to test ma10 > ma50 at -60.
If you want an exact match, add a final if to yours
-------
maup:=0;
for i = 0 to -55 step -5 do
ma50:=movavg(i,50,Cl); //use it twice
if movavg(i,10,Cl)> ma50 and
ma50 > movavg(i-5,50,Cl)then
maup:=maup + 2; // 24 max
endif;
next i;
if movavg(-55,50,Cl) > movavg(-60,50,Cl)then
maup:=maup + 1;
endif;
// test for maup = 25
--------
or use my previously posted code
-----------------
maup:=0;
for i = 0 to -60 step -5 do
ma50:=movavg(i,50,Cl); //use it twice
if movavg(i,10,Cl)> ma50 then
maup:=maup + 1; // 13 max
endif;
if ma50 > movavg(i-5,50,Cl)
and i != -60 then
maup:=maup + 1; // 12 max, sum = 25
endif;
next i;
// test for maup = 25
-------------
Haven't checked, but doubt that either would run appreciably slower.
