Wayne,

 

I don’t know much about BOP.  I tried using it, couldn’t see any predictive value.

 

Money Stream is seems to be related to Chaikin Money Flow and OBV.   It maps pretty well to Twiggs too.  You should be able to use it like these indicators.

 

FYI, I use Twiggs and OBV with daily data and OBV with 1-minute, intraday data.  (IMO, Chaikin gives mixed signals with intraday data.)

 

Regards,

 

Dan.

The Wordens have 2 indicators built into TC2000, one called MoneyStream,
the other is BOP (Balance of Power). In AB, using the function called
GetExtraData, these two indicators can be brought into AB:

GetExtraData("BOP")   and
GetExtraData("MoneyStream")

Works well.

Now what to do with them?
