Hi Carl, I wrote that code online off the top of my head. The language is TradeStation 2000i. It's a conceptual basis to stimulate thought processes. Most people never go beyond the indicators and systems found within their TA programs. Contrary to that I myself never use anything out of the box and don't have any difficulty thinking of ways to alter a strategy. It's amazing that code verified at all since it wasn't written in the power editor. One of the bugs in it is that it never increases the parameter length beyond 8. The initial idea was to vary the lenght between 3 and 21 based on a convoluted relationship between close price and the slope of the average itself. Oh, here's a clue... plot1(len,"len"); That will need to be in a separate indicator plotted in a pane below price because of scaling issues but will give an insight into when the parameter length is changing. Typically looking at these types of details results in new ideas along with of course the value it provides debugging where the codes not doing what it's intended to do. Additionally, I've nothing left to say publicly. I PM'd David an idea because he showed an interest but I'm really tired of this forum. SI bites... at least it does from my perspecitve. There's very little thought provoking TA discussion. Best Regards, MM
