Chrisb,
Since my previous references are mostly Fib oriented, here is the 
best-fit parabola after the most recent peak.
The criterion is to make the Sum of abs(parabolic-H) minimum.

//The best-fit parabolic after the last peak 
Plot(C,"C",1,64);perc=5;
x=BarIndex();xx=LastValue(x);
t1=LastValue(ValueWhen(PeakBars(H,perc)==0,x));
H1=LastValue(ValueWhen(PeakBars(H,perc)==0,H));
PlotShapes(shapeDownArrow*(x==t1),colorRed);
t=x-t1;diff1=H1*(xx-t1);f1=0.001;f2=2;
for(f=f1;f<f2;f=f+0.001)
{
parabolic=H1-f*t^2;
diff=LastValue(Sum(abs(parabolic-H),xx-t1));
if(diff<diff1)
{
diff1=diff;f1=f;
}
}
Plot(IIf(x>t1,H1-f1*t^2,-1e10),"",colorRed,1);
Title=Name()+", f1="+WriteVal(f1,1.3);

In general we need a range [0.001-2] for the coefficient f, MSFT is 
0.005, ^NDX is 0,164 and ^N225 is 1,115 [f is obviously depended on 
the price values...]
This will make the general formula relatively slow .
Note also that the best-fit coefficient will change every new day...
I think you can make a start towards the parabolic fitting.
A similar formula will give the best-fit parabola from the last 
trough.
