Mov, Jagowian English translation: Bob is suggesting Doug take a hard look at his Paritized stoch values/indicator semblance and then you or Bdog or another QP tech do a trim / fit to sync up QP params to match his original results since, as you say, most scans are run in QP. Nothing slow or fudged about Gary's product. Otherwise Doug's singing tenor, with Bach resonating basso-soprano. The piano accompaniment should always compliment the soloist's vocal strengths. It's the BJ patented penchant for precision. Gotta love it. CP

milesov, Finally figured out what you meant by '[I] indicate the stoc is wrong in qp or slow or sumtin?'. "Many here seem to be using QP for the scans and using a 'custom' [wrong] stoc in it would be very slow." refers to writing a custom stoc in QP to reproduce MSWIN's wrongness -- see below. <<I run my scans strictly in qp>> Right, I looked back at Doug's msg re WB that I replied to; it was from Myron, not miles :-( Bob ---- Turns out that the problem with the MS slow%K is that Stevie Babe averaged the num and denom before dividing them. The fastest way to calculate his wrong version of stoc 5,3 in QP isn't too speedy :) 1: The fast%K is easy: fK5 := ((close(0)-min(0,5-1,lo))/(max(0,5-1,hi)-min(0,5-1,lo)); 2: The correct slow%K is the 3-day MA of fK5; the MS version is MAnum/MAden. In either case, we need to do the calculation with a loop ---- sK5num := 0; sK5den := 0; for i = -3 to 0 do sK5num := sK5num + close(i) - min(0,5-1,lo); sK5den := sK5den + max(0,5-1,hi)-min(0,5-1,lo); next i; sK5 := sK5num/sK5den; --- 3: Would need another loop to get %D for David's magnets because, as above, movavg(0,3,sK5) doesn't compute.
