This is my guess for MetaStock's default ForecastOsc(C,5): [code:1:3a7093cef0] pds:=Input("Time periods",1,260,5)+1; pds1:=Input("Signal periods",1,260,3); FcastOsc:=(C/LinearReg(C,pds)-1)*200; 0; Mov(FcastOsc,pds1,E); FcastOsc [/code:1:3a7093cef0] jose '-)

Thanks Jose! I tried it but it brings different results compared to forecastosc :( Do you have any other idea?

The question is: how different? Plot the two indicators in the same window, and you'll see that the differences between the two are microscopic. Try not to get hung up on minuscule details, but rather, ponder as to why you would want to use this oscillator - and then think of a better way to build it. jose '-)
