Pal, thanks for this (I think :-) ). I initially thought you had messed
up and copied the same section many times, but upon closer reading, I
see each section is slightly different than the last.
It is not clear how close this will come to the internal TC2000
so-called "proprietary" indicator, nor how much time I might have to do
comparison tests of all of the variations.
Nonetheless, thanks for sharing it. What was the source for this
information if I may ask? Also, do you have any personal experience
with it and the variations? Are you a TC2000 user and have thus made
comparisons? Just fishing for info that might make my research a little
shorter.
Thanks again,
Ken
