Is there any way to calculate the average positive or negative rate of change in the price or percentage of a stock over a certain period of time? In other words, how would I write the code to calculate the average of the change in price when it is above its zero line or below its zero line? Additionally, how would I calculate the average time between those values?

That's a lot of average you are talking about :D
Have you looked at my training videos :wink:

{for 8 period average -Replace the 8's for something else}
Sum(Roc(C,1,$)>0,8)/8

CD1:=Barssince(Roc(C,1,$)>0);
C1:=Cum(Roc(C,1,$)<0);
Cum(CD1)/C1
Or something kinda like that :smt017

Hey, I would love to learn to code better, but, in the meantime, I'll take all the help I can get. I already program simple .NET applications, but programming for Metastock is a little unusual since I have to think backwards rather than forwards.
One problem I have is that Metastock has all these great indicators built-in. So there's no way to customize them. I mean, really, who uses an MACD(12,26,9) exclusively ... I use all variations of the MACD to fit my trading styles. I have to customize almost all of the built-ins to work with my systems.
For $1999 you better be able to trade for me and make a decent profit at the same time! :lol:
