Mr. Buzz try (0,199) is a 200 Day EMA you have a 201. Your're right the second example should say 22 day moving average. Think this will clear up your situation. Sean

In this example, EMovAvg(0,9,vol) returns today's value for a 10-day EMA of the volume; EMovAvg(0,21,vol) returns today's value for a 21-day EMA of the volume. The documentation is wrong in this case. EMovAvg(0,9,vol) returns the 9 day ema of the volume for the most current day. EMovAvg(0,21,vol)returns the 21 day ema. Also - the ema calculation is sensitive to the number of days used in it's calculation. Use DaysToLoad = 500 or 1000 in order to get a value that is close to what is displayed on the screen. Using DaysToLoad = 2200 will give a value that matches the one on the screen. To verify it in Metastock, make sure that it has exactly the same number of days loaded as qp does. Gary
