Bdog and all, I've been flailing away at this for a while now…, time to ask for some help. I would like to write a formula based on a series of binary waves that will only issue a buy signal if the resulting wave has been at –4 for 10 or more of the previous 20 bars. So far, the best I've come up with is to duplicate the following twenty times, changing the REF value each time, then adding them all up at the end. If( Ref((Fml( "BINARY WAVE #1" ) + Fml( "BINARY WAVE #2" ) + Fml( "BINARY WAVE #3" ) + Fml( "BINARY WAVE #4")),-1)=-4,1,0 That works, but I'm sure there's a simpler and more elegant way to accomplish it. Any thoughts will be appreciated. David Raine Vancouver
