Subject: [amibroker] RWI - Random Walk 
Index
Ran across the AB functions RWI(min,max) etc. and I have 
been unable tolocate a mathematical description or motivation (or 
intelligible code).Apparently, RWI was presented by Michael Poulos in 
the Jan 92, TASC: RandomWalk was defined in Technical Analysis Of Stocks 
and Commodities by MichaelPoulos (see TASC, January 1992 and September 
1992). Random Walk calculateshow much price should move over a given 
period if its movement were purelyrandom. When price moves past this 
level, it can be assumed to be trendingin that direction and the system 
will issue a signal. The maximum look-backperiod for Random Walk is 
optimizable in this system. An excellent system.Sounds interesting, 
however, I cannot ferret out the significance of themin/max 
parameters.  BTW I can locate several metastock listings, and aneasy 
language listing - neither help me much.Can anyone suggest a 
reference?Cheers,RichardYour
