That is a pretty nice looking indicator –
thanks for sharing your translation.

Twiggs Money Flow formula
Anthony,
I was not trying to rub it in at all. As a
past MS user I had the same problem understanding = and ==. Any way, thanks for
the link to the paper. I tried to follow the logic he explained in the the
construction and found a different approach for translation in AB......

The resulting value is the same as the MS
translation however it does not use the WV calculation that confused me and
utilizes the built in ATR function. You might also enjoy the histogram
variation as it clearly demonstrates accumulation versus distribution.

Money Flow formula
Hi Jayson,<span
>
No need to rub it in. Anthony F. has already
pointed out my
stupidity :(
Seriously though, there was a huge lag yesterday
before posts were
coming up so I guess you did not see my earlier
admission of
dumbness.
I remember all sorts of variations like .EQ. for
"equals" and I
always used to read := as "set to
equal"
Very confusing for an amateur. I have never used
Metastock but its
combination for "equals" seems easier to
grasp.
Back to the topic. The formula now works and for
those unfamiliar
with it and would like to read more, check out

Best regards,
Anthony
