This is what you need
buy = cross(c, ref(llv(c, 52), -1)* 1.04);
sell = cross(ref(hhv(c, 52), -1)*0.96, c);

Paul,

I am trying to set the rules as defined by this site:
http://www.gummy-stuff.org/zweig.htm

"* You compare this Friday's closing price with recent weekly closes.
* If there was a recent low, and this Friday's close is 4% higher
than that low, then you assume you're at a market low and you Buy.
* If there was a recent high, and this Friday's close is 4% lower
than that high, then you assume you're at a market high and you Sell."

The Flip recommendation posted earlier seemed to solve the weekly
buying problem and I am now trying to see if the trades match up with
the right close and HHV/LLV values in excel. I might not have the
threshold calculated correctly so I appreciate the help.

Thanks
DM
