Re: MA

["Mohan Yellayi" <yellayi@xxxx>]

Here is my translation of metastock code into afl.

T = 10; /* MA Time Period */

MP = (H+L)/2;
Typ = (H+L+C)/3;

EMA1 = EMA(MP,T);
EMA2 = EMA(EMA1,T);
Diff = EMA1 - EMA2;

ZeroLagEMA = EMA1 + Diff;
Graph0 = ZeroLagEMA;

the original Metastock code :

Zero Lag EMA

Here's my Metastock 6.2 coded version of the Zero Lag Moving Average, 
as described in the April, 2000, issue of Technical Analysis of 
Stocks and Commodities. I've also used it to construct a Zero Lag 
MACD and a Zero Lag MACD trigger signal.

Period:= Input("What Period",1,250,10);
EMA1:= Mov(CLOSE,Period,E);
EMA2:= Mov(EMA1,Period,E);
Difference:= EMA1 - EMA2;
ZeroLagEMA:= EMA1 + Difference;
ZeroLagEMA



Zero Lag MACD: -- Bonus

EMA1:= Mov(CLOSE,13,E);
EMA2:= Mov(EMA1,13,E);
Difference:= EMA1 - EMA2;
ZeroLagEMA13:= EMA1 + Difference;
EMA1:= Mov(CLOSE,21,E);
EMA2:= Mov(EMA1,21,E);
Difference:= EMA1 - EMA2;
ZeroLagEMA21:= EMA1 + Difference;
ZeroLagMACD:=ZeroLagEMA13 - ZeroLagEMA21;
ZeroLagMACD

There are a lot formulas here as given by someone on this list:

However , I don't understand all metastock mnemonics such as - fml 
etc. Is there a website that defines these?
