Graham,

Don't read between the lines, I only want the product to work as it 
is described to work or to at least understand how it does work.  I 
am at a loss to understand how the rest of you apparently write 
systems and trade real money not knowing what the calculations are 
actually doing or how large the drawdowns are for trading a portfolio 
of stocks.  

I was not the one who requested variable periodicity although I did 
state when the topic came up that it would be a good idea to have not 
ASAP or IMMEDIATELY or that it was URGENT.  This was followed by my 
being told that this functionality already existed in some of the 
indicators which would have allowed one to build a lot of ones own 
variable periodicity based systems and/or indicators.  However when 
tested 3 work as expected (REF/SUM/MA), 4 clearly don't work 
(HHV/LLV/HHVBars/LLVBars) and I have no idea how the other MA related 
indicators work, do you ?
