My time ran out before I could finish the mass index part of my last post:(This is from the referenced TASC article):
The mass index is a 25-day moving sum of a ratio of two moving averages. The numerator of the ratio is the exponentially smoothed moving average of the daily ranges. The denominator is the numerator smoothed a second time. When the value of the daily ranges begins to increase, the numerator will increase faster than the denominator and the ratio will become larger than 1. The 25-day moving sum will then become larger than 25. If the moving sum reaches 27, then falls below 26.5, a reversal signal is indicated.

Mass Index=SUM from n=1 to 25 of Rn/Ln

where:
Rn = 0.8 (Rn -1) + 0.2 (Range)
Ln = 0.8 (Ln -1) + 0.2 (Rn)
Range = Today's high - low
Rn - 1 = Yesterday's Rn
Ln -1 = Yesterday's Ln
