Cantaloupe, each spike signals a peak(+) and a trough(-). The level of each spike returns a value (in MetaStock's Data Window), which corresponds to the date of the peak or trough. To find the date of the last peak or trough in an exploration: ColA: ---8<------------------ x:=Fml("Date at Peak/Trough"); ValueWhen(1,x<>0,x) ---8<------------------ Play around some with the indicator, and its operation will become clearer. jose '-) http://www.metastocktools.com .

Dear Jose, I wll not make any comment to your Formula. It is a little difficult for me to understand it. I had create a Formula without Success. I want to found the DayofMonth, Month and Year when exist the following thing: Cross(Mov(c,15,e),mov(c,200,e)) wih the following Formula in Metastock: d:=ValueWhen(1,Cross(Mov(C,15,E),Mov(C,200,E)),DayOfMonth()); m:=ValueWhen(1,Cross(Mov(C,15,E),Mov(C,200,E)),Month()); y:=ValueWhen(1,Cross(Mov(C,15,E),Mov(C,200,E)),y);d*m*y I can not see any result. Do you have opinion how i can fix that problem? Also you didn't answer me if you are a Computer Programmer. :smt024 George K. :smt040

George, I believe you've got it - well done. :) And my programming skills are basic - I'm not a programmer by any stretch of the imagination. jose '-)
