Can I get help here with a formula to use in the system tester?
What I want to do is test a moving average plotted along with a moving average of the first moving average. For example, I'd like to test a 16-day moving average and a 12-day moving average of the 16-day MA.
Does this make sense?

This is what a 12 bar MA of a 16 bar MA looks like. Change S to E if you want EMAs
Mov(Mov(C,16,S),12,S);
What this is doing is using one moving average as the data array for the second MA.
Hope this helps. You question is a little thin on specifics so how you organise the rest of your code is up to you.

Thanks very much. I use this to time the trends. I take a particular security and run the system tester against it with variables in the formula for different length MA's. It keeps me from riding things down and missing up trends. Thanks very much for the help.
