Brooke,
You're 100%. But don't spoil Allan McNichol's translation gig. I'm certain he didn't expect you'd be code cracking for QP trans or he would have made it even more abstruse :')

Forgive me from straying from QP to Metastock on the matter of this shark formula, but also:

This formula for the buy signal:



Symmetry:=.28;
Apex:=(H+L)/2;
WB:=Ref(H,-2)-Ref(L,-2);

Shark:=If((H<Ref(H,-1) AND L>Ref(L,-1) AND Ref(H,-1)<Ref(H,-2) AND Ref(L,-1)>Ref(L,-2))=1,
If(apex <= (Ref(H,-2)-(WB*Symmetry)) AND Apex >= (Ref(L,-2)+(WB*Symmetry)) ,1,0),0);

Buyok:=Cross(C,ValueWhen(1,Shark=1,Ref(H,-2)));

Chk:=Cum(Buyok)-ValueWhen(1,Shark=1,Cum(Buyok));

ValidChk:=Alert(Shark=1,25);

Buy:= Buyok=1 AND Ref(Chk,-1)=0 AND ValidChk=1;

Buy;



Really amounts to this:



Symmetry:=.28;
Apex:=(H+L)/2;
WB:=Ref(H,-2)-Ref(L,-2);

If((H<Ref(H,-1) AND L>Ref(L,-1) AND Ref(H,-1)<Ref(H,-2) AND Ref(L,-1)>Ref(L,-2)),
If(apex <= (Ref(H,-2)-(WB*Symmetry)) AND Apex >= (Ref(L,-2)+(WB*Symmetry)) ,1,0),0);



Doesn't it?

And on the matter of straying, don't worry, I'm working my way back to QP. That's what this wretched swimming around with the shark formula is all about.

Brooke

Hi Brooke,

YOUR AWESOME! To say the least.

This is something that is s o o o far over my head that I can't began to respond. I'm glad Crag did. I could only add that if your tests show the same results only a quicker result calc, then your method is of course the better one.
