Monty, the normalized summation index can be calculated in a spreadsheet as follows: column: a= date b= advances c= declines d= 10% trend e= 5% trend f= McClellan oscillator g= summation index h= "calibrated" summation d3= d2+ .1((b3-c3)-d2) e3= e2+ .05((b3-c3)-e2) f3= d3-e3 g4= g3+f4 h28= 1000-9d28+19e28 h29= h28+f29 The above is from an interview with the McClellans in the June 1994 issue of TASC. "Due to space limitations, the summation index was calculated after 28 observations. You should calculate the McClellan oscillator for at least 40 periods."
