[amibroker] Re: Bullish Percent Charts

Graham,

I agree with Peter that the initial attempt should be made with
'conventional' parameters so that confirmation/comparison can be made with
Stockcharts  and Dorsey Wright. Your dynamic box size does sound interesting
for a later refinement, though....

Does anyone use a 'non PNF' version of bullish percent? Say the number of
stocks in the N100 above their 21 day SMA? I'm not sure why people who
wouldn't normally use PNF charts for other technical analysis would use them
for bullish percent.
Would it be possible to code both types and compare the two signals?

Steve
