Everything running to fast !!! Want to slow everything down to a snail pace.... Want charts and templates to take all day to load... Then this indicator is for you. LOL. Barbecue your style !!! x:=If(C>Ref(C,-1),C,PREV); If(x>Ref(x,-1),PREV, If(x>Ref(x,-2),PREV, If(x>Ref(x,-3),PREV, If(x>Ref(x,-4),PREV, If(x>Ref(x,-5),PREV, If(x>Ref(x,-6),PREV, If(x>Ref(x,-7),PREV, If(x>Ref(x,-8),PREV, If(x>Ref(x,-9),PREV, If(x>Ref(x,-10),PREV, If(x>Ref(x,-11),PREV, If(x>Ref(x,-12),PREV, If(x>Ref(x,-13),PREV, If(x>Ref(x,-14),PREV, If(x>Ref(x,-15),PREV, x)))))))))))))));

hah... not really.... my dual core eats it for 3 seconds.... Although you're using way too many PREVs, the PREV to be calculated is not as complicated... I have formulas that have to calculate only 2-3 PREVs, but the actual PREVs to be calculated are much more complex and they take 5 times more then the above formula.

For those that didn't see the same post in the "equismetastock" Yahoo group today, this was my response.
In the event that you actually wanted to use this you could always write it as below to reduce the PREV count somewhat.
x:=If(C>Ref(C,-1),C,PREV);
If(x>Ref(LLV(x,15),-1),PREV,x);
If you're like me and not fond of PREV you could make some further changes to eliminate all PREVs.
a:=C>Ref(C,-1);
x:=If(a,C,ValueWhen(1,a,C));
b:=Ref(LLV(x,15),-1);
If(x>b,ValueWhen(1,x<=b,x),x);
ValueWhen() can be used to eliminate many of the PREV functions in the new formulas released with MS11. Unfortunately it doesn't work with the MS11 "adaptive" formulas but there are other ways to tackle most of those, as shown in the March 2010 issue of MSTT.
