Dan, I'm not sufficiently knowledgeable about this to know the
difference between a coded function and a complete indicator, LOL!
In the custom indicator/index I created, I want to be able to refer
to it in a system-test just as I would with RSI(), MACD(),EMA(),
etc. As a specific example, I'd like to know when the current index
value sells off by 5% from its 20-day HHV, referring to it along the
line of this:
Sell=Cross(Ref(HHV("My Custom Index",20),-1)*.95,"My Custom Index");
I didn't use AddtoComposite because I didn't think it would give me
the weighting method I wanted (equal dollar amounts in each security
instead of simply adding the stock price of each security). (Maybe
I've got that wrong, too?)
I don't really "get" #include yet (like anyone else, some concepts
come easy and some come hard). Is #include what I should concentrate
on to get what I want, do you think?
Luck,
Sebastian
