Are the PWR and POWER functions identical in the MetaStock Formula Language?
Thanks.

An easy way to find is to create an new indicator with both terms in it, and observe, yes, they are the same.
wabbit :D
P.S. I could be wrong here, but I think Pwr() is a deprecated term left over from a previous version when it was replaced by Power() ??

Related to this topic, ever tried using Power(Data Array, variable Power)?
MetaStock does not accept variable power, but here is a way around it:
[code:1:559892377f]
================
Power - variable
================
---8<---------------------------------------
{ Power(DataArray,VariablePower) MS function.
With thanks to MG Ferreira.
http://www.metastocktools.com }
DataArray:=C;
VariablePower:=DataArray/Mov(DataArray,63,S);
{ Power(DataArray,VariablePower) equivalent }
VarPower:=Exp(Log(DataArray)*VariablePower);
VarPower
---8<---------------------------------------
