Franco,
 
As it was mentioned on this list there is some doubt ifMS 
formula really represents the original,
so I encourage you to go to <A 
href="">www.google.com and do some 
searching.
 
Please do a web search it is really useful. I remember someone 
asking me for linear regression
not too long ago. I typed "linear regression" in the Google 
and in 3 top results I found
very reasonable references.
 
It is easy, quick and does not hurt.
 
When you find some nice description - I will write the 
formula.
Best regards,Tomasz Janeczkoamibroker.com

Tomasz,
 
thanks for your kind reply. I'll try to re-write 
the formula in a more readable form and I'll send to you. If you will have a 
spare moment, I will be happy, but if you have to spend too much time, never 
mind, it's not a matter of life and death.
 
Thanks in advance and best regards,
 
Franco

Franco,
 
MS has its PREV because in MS you can not write loops that 
iterate through quotes.
In AmiBroker you can - in VBScript or JScript or 
DLL.
 
As for MS formula you quoted it is VERY, VERY unreadable 
and if you want me to write 
VBScript I need some description of what it should in fact 
do.
I don't have time to reverse-engineer MS wrestling with 
PREV.

Ken,
 
as I wrote in my first message, I don't have 
forgotten what Tomasz said about PREV and AMA. They are not identical. AMA 
is an adaptive moving average, PREV works with other functions 
allowing them to refer to themselves.
About AMA, in fact its internallogic 
makes inessential any function like PREV, but remains an adaptive moving 
average, that's all. Metastock's CBL don't uses any average, it only 
refers to hard values, and PREV have to do the same.
 
Best regards,
 
Franco

Tomasz 
will jump in here sometime and say that the AMA or ___? other function 
in Amibroker does exactly what PREV does in MS and does it faster. I do 
not use it and so do not have it committed to memory.  You could 
search in the amibroker yahoo group for PREV or AMA or wait and perhaps 
Tomasz or someone else will post a past message on this 
topic.

Hello,
 
yes, I know there isn't in AFL a function 
equivalent to PREV. I tried to use a VB Script, but I'm not able 
enough. Do you know if there is, somewhere on the WEB, the original 
Guppy's formula?
 
Best regards,

hello,there is not prev function in 
Amibrokerprev is a recursive function, BUT you can defind 
it  with a scripting languagemy choise was since one year was 
C++but there is jscript and vbscriptabout the cbl, I think 
the ms version is not matching the guppy principles but only an 
adaptation .this is not the best trailing

propose the same question again, but I'd need to know if it's 
possible to convert from Metastock language to AFL any formula 
containing PREV function. Tomasz showed many times, in past, how 
work AMA and AMA2 but, if I'm not wrong, this case seems 
different, because in "Countback line" Metastock formula, PREV 
doesn't refer to any averages but to hard values. Is it possible 
to translate the following formula to AFL? LowDays := Input("Enter 
# days to cover last LOW for CBL calc'n:", 3, 55, 13);
