Hi, I worked on a formula to get the 10 day exponential out of the ratio Advance securties NYSE/(Advance sec. NYSE + Decline sec. NYSE). I'm not sure i got it right, because its not giving the results i expect. Here i go: {reference to Advance/Decline securities on NYSE} Security("C:\MetaStock Data\BM Data\X.NYSE-A",C) Security("C:\MetaStock Data\BM Data\X.NYSE-D",C) {parameters for the ratio} A:= Security("C:\MetaStock Data\BM Data\X.NYSE-A",C); B:= Security("C:\MetaStock Data\BM Data\X.NYSE-D",C); {ratio} X:= A/(A+B); {10 day exp. moving average} Mov(x, 10, e)
As a newbie i am amazed that a slight change that looks like just rewriting can give differente results. Off course i want the right results, so i wonder when i need to simplify things as done above with the parameter header. If i dont do this, i get different results, which makes life a little hard on getting the right indicator IMO. :/ Thanks for any directions. grtz Michel

Too much code -- take out these lines:

{reference to Advance/Decline securities on NYSE}
Security("C:\MetaStock Data\BM Data\X.NYSE-A",C) { this will display and mess up your plot }
Security("C:\MetaStock Data\BM Data\X.NYSE-D",C) { this will display and mess up your plot }



The rest of it works just fine:

{parameters for the ratio}
A:= Security("C:\MetaStock Data\BM Data\X.NYSE-A",C);
B:= Security("C:\MetaStock Data\BM Data\X.NYSE-D",C);

{ratio}

X:= A/(A+B);

{10 day exp. moving average}

Mov(x, 10, E)
